...quite liked. It was a Samsung E250. I had previously had the D500, about eighteen months ago, so I knew they were reliable, the menus were easy to use and the specifications are usually good for the price. This phone and the previous Samsung I had were quite different as the E250 is a slim phone but the screen and buttons are slightly wider, but the sliding mechanism is the same as it the overall modelling of the phone. The phone looks attractive, ... ...appearance. There is the familiar Samsung logo beneath the screen and then a ridge which is used to slide the screen. There is then a central OK button which is surrounded by directional buttons, this small group of keys is enclosed with a small silver lining. There are also a left and right selection key on the outside the grouping of innermost buttons, underneath these are the buttons used to accept and decline calls, a green phone on the left ...

...these requirements perfectly was the Samsung SGH-E250. FIRST IMPRESSIONS
My first impressions of it were really good. It's a stylish looking phone that is really thin, and the front of it slides up to reveal the main keypad. So this should make it more or less impossible to make inadvertent phone calls with it in my pocket or bag. Also the camera is cleverly hidden beneath the slide too, so that the lens will be protected against dust and scratches. ... ...the camera is on the back of the phone) that I thought would make self-taken photos easier and more accurate. It is available in either silver or black, and it was the latter of these two that I chose, due to it looking more grown up and manly than the silver version. There is a simple directional pad for navigating menus and texts, with straightforward up,down,left and right buttons. Price-wise it was well within my budget at £59.99. Perfect! SET-UP

Advantages: Basic duties, ease of use, battery Disadvantages: headphone/charger socket, music player
This was my first decent phone that included Bluetooth, reasonable camera, SD card slot to expand phone memory and one that just looked nice.
We paid £49.99 for the phone from the Carphone Warehouse (it came with £10 airtime on Orange). and they were quick to deliver it.
It came in a nice, reasonable sized box with earphones, a charm, mains charger, SIM card, manual and the battery with the phone. For that price, it was excellent to get all that ... ...it was easy to transport if you wanted to keep everything in the box.
Of course the time came when I dropped it on the gravel. To my surprise, the screen hadn't been scratched and it was still working on the file share over Bluetooth! It had left a little scratch on the top of the phone but it was hardly noticeable. Over time I kept dropping it and it still worked. With the phone being lilac, any major scratches were visible but because the phone ...

Samsung SGH-E250 is an up to date silde mobile phone with all the latest technology and functions but won't break the bank.
I bought one of these phones for myself as cheap quick buy because suddenly decided to stop working. I bought this phone for £50 which I thought was a bargain. When I first got the phone out of the box and saw the actual phone for the first time it was a nice size and shape not to big would fit nicely in my pocket. The phone ... ...screen is a nice size as well.
This phone provides all the latest technology like I said earlier so it has a camera that takes photos and video.

It also has FM radio so you can listen to your favourite radio stations wherever you are just by plugging in the headset as this acts as an antenna. The phone comes with bluetooth so ...

The Samsung E250 is a bit of a let down to my other phone which broke and I have had a lot of phones but the reasons why it is a good phone are shown below along with a few bad points but every phone has bad points this one has an advantage to other phones.

The phones colour is great and has some depth to it. I have owned many phones and this one is the best by far for colour.

You can also change it to black and white, a negative, Sepia, Emboss and Sketch.

The Samsung E250 is a great cell phone despite its mentionable flaws and critical points with an overall rating that will suit the need of the mass community and will reach your expectations.
First of all, SME250 is based GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 terminal, a 2G (EDGE, so it's a 2.75G ) unfortunately not a 3G, so you can't make video conference phone call. But, that's a not big loss comparing the big range of features.

All though, SME has great applications in the inside with Java MIDP 2.0, FM radio, MP3/AAC/AAC+ player, T9, Organizer, Built-in, handsfree, Voice memo which comes in handy accomplishing daily tasks. 1000 phone contact entry is fair ...

I'm currently using this phone as my old one fell out of my bag on the back of a motorbike going 120mph...I'd say its pretty easy to use, loving the purple/pink colour my local O2 store had to offer me, and i got £18 free credit! It's good value as mine cost about £30 at the time.
Its quite slim and it slides up and down and has a variety of ringtones and wallpapers pre-set into it.

Don't bother trying to buy realtone ringtones as they don't seem to work and you end up wasting your money, you can't change your message tone to that awsome "Mail mutha F*cker!" that alot of people seem to have on their phones. Doesn't hold alot of memory, i currently have about 10 pictures on it and cant take anymore without deleting them :( ...

Advantages: cheap, looks good Disadvantages: small internal memory, no custom text tone
I purchased this phone from my local supermarket after inadvertantly breaking my other mobile and I havent regretted it for a second. The E250 is cheap, reliable and overall great value for money. The phone boasts a large 2inch, full colour screen, a backlit keypad, FM Radio and VGA Camera. The camera, although rarely used by me, is of a reasonable quality however my philosophy is that if i wanted a phone for its camera, id have simply bought a camera. ... ...three or four mp3 files and so making use of the available memory card MicroSD slot is a good choice. The sound quality is clear and not fuzzy during songs with loud bass or distortion. The games, much like the camera, should not really be a deciding factor in whether you do or don't buy this phone. They are predominantly demos with the option of buying them from the online service with the exception of the addicting 'Cannonball' that has stolen ...

If you are looking for a very easy-to-use, simple, basic, and slim phone, this is for you! And guess what, it is really cheap too! This phone offers an MP3 Player, radio, SMS / Text, Caller identity, Internet Browsing, Calculator, Calendar, Games and Camera are just a few of the features which are available.

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to use Disadvantages: Not many extra features and low quality camera
I have had one of these phones for around 6 months yet. I bought it as it was the cheapest option at the time.
The VGA camera is not brilliant,
The FM radio only works with the headset (no speaker)
BUT..
For the price these two areas do not matter much. The picture quality is fine just for random pictures of friends, but dont expect to be making the pictures bigger.
The best thing about this fone is it's menu is simple to use and is nice and ... ...a nice size making texting a much easier process.
Bluetooth is also on this phone but unless you upgrade with a memory card for it then you won't be able to fit much more than 1 song or maybe 5/6 pictures on it.
All in all, for the price this is an excellent phone if all you want it for is texting and phoning, and are not interested in all teh extra mod-cons a lot of phones have now. ...

The memory card abilities were very easy to get running and the mp3's i put on there went so loud. Very good considering i spend most of my time on the train.
When sliding the phone open to answer it, i did notice that it was often easy to hang-up on the person who was calling you.
