...new mobile phone :) The Samsung S7330 Pink (also available in black/grey)
I got this phone just before Christmas but have only just got around to writing my review!
This phone was brand new out when I bought it; it's the newer and cheaper version of a Samsung Soul.
I'm a very girly girl and so of course this phone is girly; pink and lilac to be precise.
Specification
* * * * * * * ... ...fits into the mini USB, Samsung PC Studio disc for editing photos etc, instructions booklet.
The earphones are a good quality, my fiancé bought the Samsung Soul at the same time I bought my S7330 and my earphones are better than his :)
The instructions booklet is quite useless; I figured everything out myself as it doesn't give any guidance as to what to press to perform certain functions.

My review * * * * * * * * * Aesthetically this phone is very pleasing. There is a lilac part around the generous sized screen which has a crosshatch effect to add interest; the pale pink parts on the rest of the phone are plain metallic.
The phone slides open, below the main screen is a little square silver screen; this is the touch screen. When the phone is open, the touch screen lights up with 5 symbols; an envelope, a phone with a musical note, a phonebook, a G and in the middle of these four 9 little squares arranged into a square. By touching these you access 'write message' 'phone profile' 'view phonebook' 'google search' and the middle square accesses the main menu. You can change the sensitivity of the touch screen so it is easier/harder to activate. I love this control. It has a 'haptic feedback' feature which means the phone vibrates a tiny bit everytime you press the touch screen so you know if it has registered your touch.
The keys are all pale pink too, they are quite spaced out so easy to press the right ones.
It's really slim and light and fits easily in the pocket of my tightest jeans and the tiniest clutch bag for a night out.
Its easy to text, you can choose from normal input or predictive text which I use; there were no instructions on how to scroll through the words it predicted so just incase anyone needs to know (same for a Soul) it's the 0 key.
Making phone calls is simple, the phonebook is easy to access and once you're on the phone the earpiece volume is very loud but clear, I have mine on the lowest setting otherwise everyone can hear what the person you're speaking to is saying!
The camera is only 3 mega pixels (one of the reasons its cheaper than the 5MP Soul) but the pictures are really clear, the phone also has a feature which stops blurring. So if you take a picture and the person you're photographing moves this corrects that motion blur. It also has face detection technology so it focuses on the faces and changes the exposure until its picture perfect.... apparently. The camera has a built in flash which is useful on night-time photo opportunities.
You can personalise every part of the phone's display; the colour of the touch keys, the icon size/colour, menu set-up.... absolutely everything.
The only downside I can find is the battery, it lasts a good few days maybe 4 or 5 at normal use but when it tells you your battery is low it switches off five minutes later, not much warning! This is the same with the Samsung Soul, so my fiancé tells me.
It's available free on contracts with 3 from as little as £15. The phone itself on pay as you go would cost around £140. All in all I think this is a great little phone, it does everything you could need it to plus a hell of a lot more! It looks great and functions fantastically.
