♥Samsung L830

Advantages: AAdvantages way out disadvantages! --- great quality, stylish, fun to use!
Disadvantages: a little flimsy, menu a bit complicated, rubbish instruction manual

...An introduction The Samsung L830 is an advanced but usable camera newly launched by Samsung. I bought this camera for £79 from Currys just after Christmas. I though that this was very much of a bargain as I was told that it was reduced from £199.99. So what does it feature? The Samsung L830 boasts 8.1 mega pixels of quality, although you can also downgrade the settings to lower mega pixels. The 8.1 mega pixels provide the user with an astonishing degree of pure quality in both photographs taken and films created. The definition and detail is absolutely superb and when you take a picture of something it actually looks like the object in the photograph. There is no doubt that the quality is absolutely fantastic and you could use this camera and it's quality to take all different kinds of photos. However, as the photos...

samsung sgh-x830 pink

Advantages: Great mp3 player
Disadvantages: not a very good mobile

...What can i say about the SGH-X830, I have always stuck to samsung for my mobile phones as its a brand i trust. or at least i did till i got this phone. I use pay monthly so i get an upgrade every year and when i saw the tiny pink SGH-X830 i had to have it, it looked so different and stylish and colour screen too. It has a great mp3 player, camera, video and also bluetooth however... The buttons are too close together making it difficult to text and even dial numbers. It doesnt seem very strong, i dropped it and it got a huge chip and also the circular button does not work anymore making it difficlut to access things quickly. The camera (which doesnt have a flash) is not very good qualitty. The ring tones arent very loud so i often miss calls tho it does enable you to download songs from your pc which makes it good...

Samsung L830 - fantastic

Advantages: ASR, Optical zoom, 8MP, Face recognition, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Slow shutter time

...Features: 8.1 mega pixel 3X optical zoom Face recognition 2.5" LCD screen Red-eye fix ASR (advanced shake reduction) i-movie (MPEG 4 SVGA quality 800x592) High sensitivity ISO 1600 Mode Dial Items you'd find in the box; Camera, rechargable battery, AV cable, camera strap, AC adapter, USB cable, User manual & warranty and a software CD - things such as memory cards & a camera case have to be bought seperately. I bought this samsung camera few months ago from Currys.Digital for around £80 - great value for money in my opinion. The battery life lasts approx 100minutes and takes about 200 photos in 8M, fine quality or 90minutes recording time using 640x480 image size. I found this camera really easy to use there is a power button & the shutter button at the top of the camera, as well as a dial to easily switch between...

Samsung SGH- X830

Advantages: appearance, storace space, swivel
Disadvantages: button size, volume

...The best thing about the Samsung SGH X830 is its appearance; unfortunately, the praise for this rather small phone ends there. The mp3 player is far to quiet as are the ringtones and the sounds provided with the phone clumsy and childish. The screen is far too small and narrow, even for those with perfect eyesight and the small buttons hard to use. The swivel is one of the nice touches of the phone adding character and is relatively easy to use. Although initially the two-column set up of the buttons is confusing after only a few hours you will be texting just as fast as you did previously. When I first purchased the phone one of my friends commented that she 'would find it annoying' and surprisingly I do not. Despite all the phones faults it really does have some good assets. Of course, its size is useful, making it easy to carry...

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...I bought this camera in ASDA at the incredible price of £75 in a gorgeous chrome silver colour (pictured). I am probably one of the most indecisive shoppers around, so when it came to buying a digital camera, I was thoroughly confused by the choice and newly released technology, meaning every week a new camera with more mega pixels and better zoom and a toaster built in was released! This certainly does not making chosing easy! Well, thanks to the advice of the very helpful assistant in ASDA, I was able to finally decide on the Samsung ES55 and have no regrets! Ok, so how do you chose the right camera for you? It's all about accepting there is SO much variety but making sure you know what you want, that way you can really trim down the choice. Also, pick a reliable brand and as I have been informed, Samsung are one of the best. I had...

Samsung SGH X830 Mobile phone

Advantages: Small and great to look at
Disadvantages: Unreliable not very good features

...I wanted a smaller mobile phone than the old flip phone and the Samsung SGH-X830 sure fits the bill. My Mum bought me this phone for my birthday and she paid £130 for it, which I have to say considering the first one went wrong in the first 2 months was not very good value for money. It is a really small phone that slides round to open. A lot of my friends at first thought it was a MP3 player, which of course is one of the many functions this phone has, but first and formost it is a mobile phone. The features include: ~ GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz ~ MP3/AAC/AAC+/e-AAC+/WMA player ~ Video player ~ Flight mode ~ 1.3 Megapixel camera ~ GPRS, EDGE ~ SMS, EMS, MMS ~ 64 channels polyphony I must say that even though I love the look of the phone, I have already had 2 replacements and phone number 3 is now on the way out as...

SAMSUNG TAMPAX PHONE

Advantages: good features, small and lightweight
Disadvantages: too small for some

...The Samsung SGH X830 is a slim line swivel phone which is very small and light weight. The size of the phone is W30 X H84 X D20 mm and its total weight is a small and impressive 72g. Some people may think that because the phone is as small that it may not be as good as some other mobile phones on the market, but this small phone packs a punch and is full of features. The mobile is not your standard Samsung slider or flip phone, the X830 is a swivel phone, basically you just push the side of the phone and it swivels round and doubles in length and in turn revealing the key pad. I really love the design of the phone because it fits snugly in the palm of your hand, it can fit into the smallest of handbags or even your pocket and it can remain unnoticed and concealed. I think that the overall design and appearance of the phone is quite...

Samsung X830 Durability or Design?

Advantages: Great music player and battery life.
Disadvantages: Poor durability.

...I purchased my Samsung X830 three months ago. Throughout the period of time I have owned the Samsung I have have had the benefit of the great functions this phone has to offer, yet also sadly have discovered the negative areas of this product. For anyone who is looking to purchase one I hope my breakdown of how I have found the Samsung X830 on a day to day basis is of use. Starting with the good points: For carrying around on a day to day basis, this phone is great. It is just the right size for fitting into your pocket or bag. The look and design of this phone is equally as good, you can always guarantee that someone will comment on your 'funky' phone. The Music player on this phone is superb. I often find myself referring to the Samsung X830 as an MP3 player that is also a phone, as opposed to it being a phone...

Samsung, Sleek and Shiny

Advantages: Good images (which is what you need, really)
Disadvantages: Not intuitive to use

...Time to be dragged into the digital age and get a digital camera, so I recently purchased this baby (handily in time for my trip to Slovenia). It's worth pointing out it is also available in silver and black, although I have the red as pictured. What can I say, it's pretty and shiny. And it is pretty, compact, well-proportioned and sleek, with Samsung's usual appealing design. With regard to digital cameras - I was very reluctant to buy one for years as I liked having the physical pictures, but I haven't missed them! I now actually prefer being able to delete the shots that come out badly, or just where I've taken ten shots of the same thing (yes, I do that. I must be a frustrated photographer). i paid £112.00 for my camera on the Pixmania website, which seems to be a good price. The camera's own memory is pretty pathetic...

☼The Ipod looking Phone...by samsung☼

Advantages: Small, Stylish, good battery life. 1gb MP3 player
Disadvantages: naff camera, low ringtones.

...My husband needed a new phone as he had never had a good one, usually he had my hand-me-downs and they weren't in great condition. I had Bought a Samsung D600 about 8 months ago which was still in extremely good condition so I thought to myself that my husband could have the D600 and I would get myself a new one. I had been eyeing up the Samsung X830 since it was released I loved the look of it and thought it would be ideal as it had an mp3 player on it. So we went off to the Trafford Centre and had a peek in the Orange shop. I saw the phone and immediately fell in love with it. The fact that I wanted a new Mp3 made this phone ideal as I could get two in one. So I purchased the phone easily for £179.00 with £20 Top up which was required. ☼ OPENING THE BOX ☼ So I couldn't wait to get my new little toy home, as soon as I...
