Review rated by 8 Ciao members on average: helpful

I`ve recently bought this phone.
As a professional cell-phone tester in Riga, Latvia, I`d say,this phone is really great!
Let`s beginn with PROS:
1.Design - it`s really beautyful
2.Features - this phone is full of all needed modern features
3.Built-in FM radio
4.Perfect, true to life colour screen
5.Menues are made really comfortable
6.menues are easy to adopt to personal needs
7.At last, as in Samsung SGH-E570 vibro+sound call and smart dialling.
8.Really good music player, similar to SE Walkman series phones
9.New feture,known as Living World (in all countries there will be another wallpaper,shoiwing,f.e Big Ban in London.First used in D900 and E570)
10.Really good e-mail manager,organiser and Samsung PixelViewer(for reading MSoffice and PDF docs)
11.The price is really nice!
12.Fantastic 3,2 MpX camera with AF, flash and lots of features

And now CONS:
1.The keyboard is not suitable for people with big fingers
2.Again-no vibro+sound available for any message alert.You may choose either vibro or sound,and you can not choose your melody for message alerts-only pre-installed are available.
3.The battery talk and stand by times are seems to be quite low.Need to be tested!
4.Touch buttons seems to be too sensitive,sometimes it irritates,but it looks like you need just to get used to it.
5.To answer the incoming call, you need to press unlock button and then "answer", the same during the call-to end it.Or you need to slide up the phone to answer and then slide down the phone to end call(?).Need to get used to this!
6.It seems, that this phone gets scratched and durty fast-may be the purse is needed.(?)

-----All CONS,marked with (?) may be just small irritations and specific software settings you will get used to, or that may uccor not to be CONS or PROS -----

Overall:
If you need super-stylish,beautyful,small and light phone,full of features,3,2MpX high-quality camera, good internet browser,document viewer, great player and radio, and you agree to charge the phone every 2nd day`s evening or 3rd day morning-this phone is really for you!
If you want to understand better this phone,and you have no possibility to try it yourself-check samsung D800,both phones are very similar(keyboard,battery,features,software,design)or D900(full similarity).

UPDATED:02.05.2007
1. Confirm on battery life:it seems to be about 2 to 3 days long of average use.I need to charge my phone every 2nd day`s late evening(NOTE: I switch off the phone during the night).But it looks like,that it works a bit longer,than Samsung D900 (see review).
2. Touch buttons are TOO sensitive-during some operations you may accidentely press(i mean-touch :-) ) it.With me it happens about 1 to 3 times per day (NOTE: my fingers are small and I work really fast with the phone).So,this irritates a bit,but you need just to get used to this scheme of working with the phone.Thanks god,during the call and when you have incoming call you need,as mentioned in review either to slide up/down the phone or press UNLOCK and then pick up/hang up the phone-it is impossible to make accidentely a call or pick up the phone,as well as hang up the phone accidentely during the call.Thet`s is good!
