The Phone ***********
This slider phone looks sleek and is full of great features. Mine is on the O2 network and is a pay as you go. You can also get this on Virgin, Vodafone and Orange. The menus are very easy to navigate and use unlike some phones. The large bright display makes it easy to read and compile text messages.
The camera takes high quality photographs that you would be pleased to get from a dedicated digital camera. The radio gives great reception and tends to maintain it in most areas and locations.
There is a host of other features such as calculator, currency converter and even a stop watch and timer. With this phone there is no need to carry around an mp3 player as it has its own built in player for music on the 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 not spend hours trying to set the alarm for the 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 tones. It is worth investing in a memory card and you can get them from any mobile phone shop or Argos and they wont break the bank. Normally if i choose a phone for myself my kids would not touch it with a barge pole, saying its not cool enough for them, but with its clean lines and great features even my teenage son is considering getting one, or maybe that's a ploy to get me to buy it for him. This is a great little phone with enough features to keep most people happy and at a great price as well
