Samsung M8800 Pixon

I purchased this phone around 5 months ago, I got it as part of my contract deal, I always wanted a touch screen phone and this seemed a pretty good deal. I took the phone home and opened the box, the box contained: Mobile phone Charger USB lead for computer to phone 3 different coloured backs. (Red, black and blue) Instructions for the phone Disc for the computer to enable transfers from phone to pc Headphones Memory card Instruction manual Battery ...
...just use your fingers So I set the entire phone up and plugged it in to charge as instructed in the manual. Switched it on and waited for it to pick up the sim card. This can take a minute or so to start up. I started to explore the phone and below I will describe what the phone has with it. When you hit the menu button you are shown a list of things listed: Call log: This gives you a list of people who you have either receive or missed a call off ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

I have been faithful to Samsung for three consecutive phones now, from the D500 to the G600 and as of most recently, the Samsung Pixon. I find their phones extremely stylish and innovative; Samsung are very image-concious and this certainly rings true for the Pixon as well, which although is not exactly small (due to the necessary large screen) does have a smooth and sleek feel to it. Do note that this phone is also available in pink and silver, ...
...First and foremost, the Samsung Pixon's most hyped feature - the eight mega pixel camera - believe the hype because photos are of an incredibly great quality. It does take a little patience to figure out how the camera works and where the pictures get automatically stored but that's because I always tend to skip the phone manual! What is also great is the 'scene' option which allows you to adjust the camera according to what background or 'scene' ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

I love my Samsung Pixon. It is the best phone I have ever had, however evey time I get a new phone it betters the previous one! I bought this phone mainly for the camera, having an 8 mega pixel camera on your phone is brilliant, I always have my phone with me, therefore I always have my camera with me and never miss a photo opportunity. The photo quality and features of the camera rival standard digital cameras in the £150 - £200 price range. People ...
...assume I have used an expensive SLR or similar. There are many great camera features such as slow exposures, macro, blink detection and manual adjustments of white ballance, exposure and ISO. The touch screen interface is very easy to use to set up the shot and also for editing images and movies. Other things that made me buy this phone are the touch screen, it can be double clicked, it also vibrates when clicked. The media player for films and music ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

This is my first Samsung mobile phone after being a die hard follower of Sony Ericsson phones for years now. I decided that it was time for a change and also a change of the contract that I was on. There is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice to move on to Samsung phones and the M8800 Pixon in particular. Although it does posses some annoying little perks, it is an outstanding phone none the less. Well I guess the first thing I should ...

Camera - 8 mega pixels (photo quality is measured in pixels - it's the quickest and simplest way of comparing a camera's image quality. Just look for the bigger number!) Touch Screen (The screen detects the presence of pressure on the viewable touch area. In this case, the whole screen is touch screen) Video Recorder (The ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

This is more a digital camera with the added bonus of having a mobile phone functions. The 8.2 megapixel camera ensures that you get great photos at times when you dont have your camera to hand. The touch screen functions and phone keypad take some adjusting to if like me you're more used to a more traditional dialing pad. But once you get over that, its a fun phone to use with a qwerty touch screen keyboard that makes texting so much easier and ...
...i first started using this phone, i was convinced that I would have a preferred buttons that I could physically press, but that was not the case. Truth be known, I now have trouble texting using a traditional phone keypad. The only drawback I found is that the smart screen is very sensitive, so even the slightest movement can make the screen go from horizontal to vertical. Which can be a pain when you are trying to send a message. Oh and if you are ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

The day i brought this i must have forgotten how to read. because generally i will at least read ONE review somewhere on this item. and in hindsight there was a lot of bad ones about it. I have hardly anything good to say about this phone. I had it in pink. Nice shade of pink i guess. not really what you want to be paying £35 pound a month for thou. nothing fantastic or outstanding to report. the touchscreen couldn't keep up with me and unlike other ...
...had to press it hard for it to work. the 8mp camera wasn;t brilliant either. still came out quite dark and blurred when you can eventually upload onto a pc. battery life was terrible. trying to press numbers during a call was pretty annoying. i got less signal using this phone than any other ever used here. other than this is was just the general lack of technology that i didnt like. and pther small annoyances like when you mis spell a word using ...

I got this mainly for the camera though I then got a digital camera for my birthday so have not used it as much as intended. When I have used it I found the results as high quality as I had anticipated with many features which are fun to play around with such as face detection, scene type etc. I ahve also noticed in comaprison to friends phones the shutter speed seems to be alot quicker meaning people don't get fed up waiting for you to take the ...
...used and for the most part it is fine, I find just using my nail works better than the stylus which did not work for me at all really. All of the larger icons such as the menu icons are easy and have not really caused problems however I am still quit clumsy at texting; things I can't seem to stop doing are changing the language and switching predictive off but I think this is just me going too quick. I have not really found the battery life a major ...

I got this phone just about a month ago and i love it. It is easy to work and looks great. The touch screen has great accuracy! You also have the ability to calibrate it so it will always be able to detect exactly where your finger is! When i txt it is fast and easy! When held normaly it has a keypad just like button phones, you can also turn it on its side and you have a qwerty keyboard! The camera is 8mp and takes amazing pictures! I am a 14 years ...

It also has the features of a normal camera including things like flash, face recognition, timer, effects and other things! I have unlimited internet! The internet is very easy to work and web pages will also show up very quickly! The only problem i have found with this phone are ...

...it, Ive previously owned samsung phones but did not like the way they worked but this is so much different. Firstly the styling of the phone is very slick, if I had to moan id say it could do with being a little slimmer, there are 3 buttons on the front panel, the answer button, the end call button and the return/back button, there is a camera on the front of the phone too, the touch screen is very clear and works really well, the only problem I ...
...was a problem with other samsung phones I have had and the callers voice sounds quite dull and flat, the menu's are great and very intuitive, all the functions are very well laid out and easy to use, this phone uses a feature on the main screen where u can have a little widget bar on the side for quick access to your favourite functions or download more widgets from the browser, its pretty good but i wouldnt say vital, quite useful though the music ...

The Samsung M8800 Pixon in my opinion is a great camera phone. The photos the camera takes are top class. In my opinion the best feature on the phone. 8mega pic which has all the features that a normal camera has, infer red, black & white. Storage is very large and could hold hundreds of photos. The Pixon has a very big screen which looks good for checking your photos. It is very good for playing games also. The only thing i would say about the camera ...
...irratating trying to find your newest photo. specially if you have lots of photos on the phone. With the memory card in the phone you could hold hundreds of photos and videos. The prices for the phone range from £0 to £529.99 If you take a contract out with the phone most providers will give you the phone free. I got my phone from "phones 4 you" which in turn got the contract with Orange. I am on the Dolvin package that is £35 per month 600 mins, ...

I feel the the samsung pixon does not live up to the good samsung name. My last four phones have been samsung but this one has hadconstant problems. Oneproblem is the touch screen stops working and is only remedied by lifting the screen slightly from one side with my finger nail. On the positive side to this phone, the camera is superb and of a very high quality. When the photos are donloaded to a PC, the images can be blown up and printed whilst ...

...is alot nicer than the Samsung Omnia but by all the features it boasts. The first thing i was dying to check out was the 8mp camera & wow what a camera, it's as clear as any digital camera i've ever had, the face-detection is brilliant & the video quality is also a huge step up from any phone i've ever seen. Another thing i was very impressed with was the memory capability, i was told it can hold up to a 32GB memory card which is a massive amount ...
...people will even need. I have't had chance to check out the GPS system on the phone as of yet but will update this review as soon as i have. This is another great touch screen phone, the screen is extremely responsive to any touch & this phone also boasts an accelerometer which adjusts the display to how you're holding it. Although i do not have this phone i have had Samsungs before & have every faith in them which is why i intend to purchase this ...

When i first when to get this phone i was going for the brothing phone the omina but i was told that this phone was more practical for personal use. The wide screen makes using the touchscreen easier to use and more fun for the games. The down fall of this phone is the size of the phone, but this makes up as the screen. The phones messaging was to ways you can have it up the standard way or you can roate the phone to the side and use it as a mini ...
...you had rather slim fingers as you press the other buttons buy accedident. The in phone memorie can holds up to about 10-15 songs so i would suggest you buy a memorie card to go with the phone. I think this phone is amazing and i hope this infomation i have given you has helped you a bit. Thankyou for reading this reveiw and please rate and comment :) Thankyou so much. ...

Review of Samsung M8800 Pixon

I decided to buy this phone in december because i thought it had a good amount of features and i felt that it was one of the best phones on the market at the time. So far, it has been very good, with only a few minor annoyances. The camera is good, but not as impressive as was stated- it can be quite slow and when it is dark the pictures tend to come out blurred, i feel that the flash is poor, however day time photography is quite good. The inbox ...
...every couple of days which can get quite annoying. I like the fun features on the phone like the image editing and the live pix which allows you to draw on the pictures, just like paint. I initially thought it would be annoying to text on, but you can text like a normal phone or using a keyboard if you turn the phone sideways- which i have found is much quicker and a great feature. I would definitely recommend getting a memory card for this phone, ...
