For my birthday last year i was expecting a Samsung D500mobile phone, so got a surprise when i opened my prestent and it turned out to be the Samsung E350 instead. I was a little disappointed as i wanted the popular D500, but my Dad told me to give it ago so i did and i have no regrets at all.
This small compact phone will fit in small spaces and pockets that no other phone i have seen can and it has all the functions and services you can imagine, although lacking the blue tooth it still has infared, Tri-band, VGA camera and video with flash, MP3 player , speaker phone and voice recognition, messaging, fax,e-mail, WAP and a variety of games and standard applications.
Although the phone does not have blue-tooth the infared function can still do mainly the same job.
The camera and colour quality on the phoe is excellent and is just as good as the D500.
The look and style of the phone is very stylish and it is easy to use, and if you are not as high-tech as me then there are very useful step-by-step instructions on how to use all the functions of the phone, that come in the user guide with the phone.
I use my phone all the time, usually to text, but i still only have to charge the battery every 5-7 days, the battery length is alot longer than any phone i have had before.
Sounds on the phone are also high quality and the noise it makes when you slide it open and closed or you type in a number keeps people amused for hours, well it does my friends anyway.
The camera lens also has an extruding frame around it so if you are as clumbsy as me and you drop it all the time the lens does not get ruined or scratched and the photo quality is always at the same high standard. The quality of using the camera function in the dark using the flash is also very good and you can see the photos or videos at high quality.
I am very pleased that I can show off tis small ultra-cool phone and i am not the same as everyone else who has the D500. At around £130-150 on the market this phone is well worth the money and i would highly reccomend it.
