...is fantastic. The earphones that Samsung provide are reasonable but not great. I read a lot of bitching about the memory limitations of this phone. For me, the 70mb onboard is fine. I don't need a memory card with 1000 songs on it. Who does? I can put a new album on the phone each day and still have room to take 20 or so photos. I'm not a teenager so this suits me fine. The 3.2 meg camera is ok. I own a Nokia N70 with a 2 meg camera and it takes ... ...the camera. The video quality is average YouTube video quality. Hardly worth watching. The keypad on the U100 takes some getting used to. I'm not fluent on it yet so I can't really judge it. The call clarity is great. The reception is great. The "loudspeaker" isn't very loud.

The 3.2 megapixel camera takes fantastic photos and videos and has a ... ...on your computer. One downside is that the camera has no zoom function so what you see is what you get.

This model is stylish and the metallic silver looks sleek and modern. It doubles up as a mirror on the screen so when you phone goes into sleep mode so to speak, you can check your lippy whilst on the go. Its probably more of a girls phone as it has soft more
After my Nokia 7373 broke, I should say after I broke it, but that's not something to go into now, I realised I was still paying for a £35 a month contract and getting no benefit so I went in search in a new phone. The problem is now when you buy a pay... more

When I was due for upgrade this time, I wasn't particularly bothered which phone I had, I was more interested in whether they could offer me a better tariff on my contract. I have been with Vodafone for many years and have always been satisfied with the... more
