This is a small sexy phone.

Games..
Lets start with the things we like to do when we are bored 'Play Games'. This phone comes with three built in games 'Fortress, Space War and X-Fighter' I have attempted to play them Fortress is abit confusing you have to move the cannon and fire at these little things its not very interesting so i moved onto Space War. Now this is better i like this game you have to manoeuvre your plane round the screen dodging there other 'bad planes' to compleat a map. Good game! The third game is again very hard to get started you have to chose your machine and that in itself is hard when you eventually get going its very slow but you have to fire at oncomeing planes, not very good. I am hopeing that you can download games but i havent worked that out you.

Personal Organiser..
Scheduler, Calendar, To do list, Short Cut, Clock, World Time, Alarm, Currency Converter, Calculator,Memo Book, Count down timer, Chatting.
With all these in you little phone who needs a 'Secretary'. All of these functions are easy to use and are very handy. The alarm, Scheduler, Memo Book all come with an alarm of whitch you can chose from your polyphonic tones plus some normal alarm tones.

Text Messaging..
Its simple and easy with dictionary/predictive text you can text with ease. You can add Pictures, animation and sound. so you can have loads of fun sending silly pictures and sounds to your friends.

Those things that make it even better..
This phone has a wide range of polyphonic ringtones that are good you can also download the latest tones from the samsung wap page for free!
This phone comes with a sexy hands free kit so i can talk to my friends while putting my make-up on!
A service light flashes on the front you can change the colour you have 7 to pick from.
Defently one for the girls a little witch appeares on the screen saying 'hi' when you turn it on and she says 'bye bye' when you turn it off.
i have only used nokia phones and i am happpy with my switch this is my favourite mobile.

Woa I can't believe you forked out that much for this 'phone when the S300 has come already! The S300 is basically looks the same as the A800, except that the screen is larger and COLOUR! The S300 is also slightly more narrow. Good op, but watch the typos :)

I have got this phone too. i have had it for about 2 months now and i love it! i dont think you can download more games though but i had no idea you can download more ringtones. thanx! I have to say the best thing about his phone is the size. it is the cutest phone i have ever had and i love the way it fits snuggly in my hand bag.
