Samsung SGH-J700

...cheerful model known as a Samsung J700, which is offered on all networks with either PAYG or contract. I opted for a PAYG on the orange networks as I have been on Orange for what seems like an eternity. Anyway, I had heard a few good things about this particular phone and thought ‘why the hell not??… I mean, for under thirty quid I couldn’t grumble. ==WHAT IS IT..?== It is a sliding phone weighing in at under 100 grams, easily fitting into your ...
...under 1 ½ cm thick. ==WHAT’S IN THE BOX..?== _Opening the box I found_ * The actual phone. (obviously) * The battery. (pre-charged) * USB cable * Instructions * Charger * Earphones/aerial * A SIM card ==WHAT DOES IT OFFER..?== * It has a 2 inch screen which is nice and clear. * 1.3 megapixal camera and video, with many little adjustments for each, including a rather nice little zoom feature. * 250 hours on stand by with about 2 ½ hours continuous ...

...efforts. The Samsung 700i is the latest X1in many ways, a cheap model that has all the basic features and the all important pay-as-you-go options for most networks. Its looks pretty neat and with its slide up handset and sleek black and silver finish it wont embarrass you in those trendy bars, no need to worry about the beautiful people who pull out their £250 pound phones pointing at you in disgust and mockery as they take pictures of each other ...
...are for texting and emergency calls only so not to be waved around like a porn stars penis, what an expensive cell phone really is to guys. -Features- 1.3 mega pixel camera with video playback and capture (industry standard) A 1.3 MP3 player (plays various digital formats...MP3, AAC, AAC+ & MIDI) An FM radio Expandable memory slot of up to 2GB to put up to 420 your songs on. 2GB card costs between £8 and £12 on top Stereo Bluetooth to listen to it ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

Samsung J700 Pink My review on the lovely pink Samsung j700 mobile phone. I purchased this phone last week online as I thought it was a brilliant wee phone. I read review after review and no one had a bad word to say about it, so I purchased it for 49.99 from Amazon brand new. The look… The phone is very stylish and trendy. It is a mixture of dark and light metallic pink with a slide feature. On the front it has got the main screen, and underneath ...
...again. And like other Samsung phones I have used, predictive text lets you select the words from a list, but once you space off that word you cant go back to predict and change it, meaning, delete it and re-write it. The last problem I have it that you MUST get a memory card for the phone, The memory is dreadful I got to store 2 songs on the phone, and then there was no more room, which meant I couldn't use my camera as it couldn't save the picture ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

...a spare phone - the Samsung SGH-J700. ~The Phone Itself~ The design itself is quite sleek, obviously not to the standard of some of the newer and more expensive phones of late, but still quite stylish in looks for the price paid for it. It is a 'slide-up' phone where you have to push the screen up to reveal the key buttons underneath. This is a standard style phone and not a touch screen phone. It is available with either a black or silver casing. ...
...makes the phone look more expensive than it actually is. The top of the phone consists of a screen measuring around 1.8" x 1.5", which is pretty impressive for this phone, as the phone itself is quite small, so I think they have made the most of the space by optimising the screen as much as possible. You also get a circular menu button in the middle which dominates the phone and the usual call answer, call ending and cancel buttons too. All these ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

...move. My Thoughts ********** Samsung in my opinion not only delivers fantastic looking phones but also very robust ones. I have dropped this on a number of occasions and it still works fine. Whenever i change phones i always go for a Samsung if i can. What i love about this phone is that the keypad has fairly large buttons, so if like me you have large fingers it is still easy to send a text message. The menus are fairly straight forward so you do ...
...morning or find the calculator when doing the shopping. The timer on it is great for boiling eggs, what i mean is, if like me you like to time your cooking, just set the timer and it will set off an alarm when it finishes. I have to admit that i have not tried the WAP function on the phone yet and that's only because i am too lazy to do it. Although the phone has a 10Mb internal memory this can soon be used up when you start adding music and ring ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

The Samsung SGH-J700 is a very stylish, compact, easy-to-use phone which comprises many features. This phone consists of an MP3 Player, radio, bluetooth, camera, video camera, calculator, caller identity, calendar, and the list goes on. This phone also is very cheap and currently retails at approximately £40.00. The design of the phone is thin, compact, does not take up a lot of room and has a slide screen. The sound quality is also quite good. ...
...use, ie: sms / text messaging, listening to music, talking on the phone, etc. One disadvantage that I can think of is that the camera is not the best quality and often blurs. I purchased this phone about 4 months ago and this phone has been great ever since. I can highly recommend this phone for you to purchase, if you wish for something cheap and for basic everyday use. ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

I have been using the Samsung J 700 for the last 9 months. The phone is small, and is relatively easy to handle, however I suspect that if you have big hands you may have a problem. The 'slide out' number / letter pad is some times a nuisance, sliding out inadvertently when you try and remove the phone from a tight pocket. This causes the phone to accept an incoming call when perhaps you don't want to. The audio quality is very good from both the ...
...I am sure that newer Samsung models are better. To use the inbuilt FM radio you need to have the ear pieces connected as they are used as the antenna. In my view that is not really a problem. What is a real problem is the battery life. After using the phone for the last 9 months, with maybe 6 calls a day, I now need to recharge the battery every 24 hours. If I use the MP3 player or radio the recharging is more frequent. I would have hoped the battery ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

I bought this phone as my old one was totally useless. I got this phone as I thought it was quite stylish. The phone cost £49.99 plus £10 top up on the O2 network. I have found that the reception on this phone is excellent. The screen is brilliant, and has the usual features of a camera, bluetooth and an FM radio. It is also a triband phone, useful if you plan on going to America. You can also purchase an additional memory card, which I think is ...
...music on the phone, especially if you download pictures onto your phone from you camera. The battery life on this phone is also brilliant-I have had the phone almost two weeks now and have only needed to charge it once. The phone is also durable-I have dropped it a couple of times and everything works perfectly. All in all, I would say this is a great phone, and would recommend anyone to buy it. ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

Im my honest opinion I found this mobile phone to be good value for money and has everything I could want out of a phone. I love the pink colour and the shinyness of the phone. its light and very easy to use. I personally dont like to buy a new phone and have to go throught the instruction manual. with this phone i picked it up and easily manouvered my way around the phone. Good selection of games too even though they are only free trials. There ...
...is great as I found the phone only held 2 songs with me. You can select any tones for ringing and messages . There are several alarms on the phone and again you dont need a standard buzzing when the alarm goes off, you can have any sound you want. One thing i found was great is that you can store photos with peoples numbers in the phone book so when they call their picture comes up, the camera on the phone is fantastic and i would personally say ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

I have had this phone for just over a month now and I think it's just fab!! I have the pink version and I love it! Ok so it hasn't got the greatest camera just 1.3mp out there, compared to more expensive models that have the 5mp+ but it does the job great, I uploaded photos from my phone to the computer and they looked great. It also has a feature to video record and thats pretty neat too. It has an mp3 player and built in FM radio. Its a nice design ...
...Its reasonably priced at around £40, which I think is a good price for a quality phone. The biggest downfall really is the memory which is rectified by the hand set having a little memory card slot. My phone didn't come with a card but I suppose some might. It comes in a few colour ranges too. It's really easy to use and get the hang of, extremely reliable, it hasn't crashed at all since i've had it, and the battery life is awesome, it seems to last ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

The Samsung J-700 is a complete brilliant phone with fantastic features! Firstly, it's a slide phone so you can slide it up or down which is very handy because you just slide your phone down for the "keypad locked" mode which means that your phone doesn't dial somebody when you don't want it to or do something like that. It's very easy navigation with the normal buttons (nothing new.) It has a built in 1.3 megapixel camera and a mirror (for self-portraits.) ...
...a pay as you go card which you use to top up with in top-up newsagents etc. The phone comes in black or white so it's a choice of dark or bright. Overall, the Samsung J-700 is a very good phone but the only downers are video memory space. ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

I bought this phone as my old phone broke and this one seemed good value at £49.99. I was surprised at how good this phone actually was - it has all the applications i would look for in a phone, ie. bluetooth, music player, radio, it keeps charge for an average of 3 days which is better than most of the other phones I've owned previously, it looks pretty and the camera is decent. It is also very practicle as the planner contains alarms, a calendar, ...

I have recently bought the samsung j700, as my previous phone always had to be charged up, however this phone is great it has a good quality colour screen, great battery life i last charged it up about 5 days ago and it still has its full three bars, the camera is good however there is no flash, but the overall design and weight are great really compact got everything you need on it and a bit more, very easy to use and would recommend it to everyone. ...
...i found it wasnt on my previous phone, it has a range of games which are good quality not just the free trial that they sometimes put on, and also has a memory slot to expand the memory but the phones own memory is quite suficient, it also has the ability to send and recieve sos txt messages. ...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

...I had also had samsung recommeded to me, although I had previously only owned nokia and motorola phones, so thought I'd give this a try as it looked pretty smart. I got this phone on orange pay as you go and have never had any problems with reception. The phone itself looks pretty smart, with a shiny black finish, and fits in the palm of your hand. To use, you slide the top part of the phone up and the keybad is exposed at the bottom. It is fairly ...
...explanatory. Like most new phones, it takes a while to get to grips with but once you've got your head around it it's really simple to use. It has a camera and video function. At 1.3 mega pixels, it's not the best camera on a phone that you'll find but it does the job. The pictures that I have taken have been of reasonable quality (although you do get a lot of blurry ones), but as this is not a function that is terribly important to me - i'd rather ...
