A good buy? SAMSUNG SGH-U900 SOUL

Advantages: Most of the features: cameras, bluetooth, size, display
Disadvantages: The volume of the sound, battery power

...After looking around a plethora of electrical stores, completely undecided about which phone I should purchase, I spotted the Samsung SGH-U900 Soul, sitting stylish and modern on its perch. The phone, which comes in a small variety of colours (including pink, silver and graphite) is of slide design. Underneath the perfectly-sized display screen, which even caters for those with less than perfect eyesight, lies the coloured touchpad. The sensitivity of this touchpad, along with the colour can also be altered, as can the 'vibrate-when-touched' function it contains. My perhaps favourite feature of this super-sexy mobile is most likely to be the 5.0 Megapixel camera. This amazing camera can not only capture pictures of ultra-fine quality, but it can also capture videos of the same calibre. With the phone's very own editing...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Stylish design. Easy to use. Simple menus. Takes good photos/video. Sliding mechanism works well.
Disadvantages: Accidental button presses. Light remains on when charging. Vibrates too much when battery is dying.

...The Samsung E900 is a very stylish looking phone, it measures 93x45x16.5 mm, so it is very slim and lightweight, and it is barely noticeable in your pocket. I have mine in black but it also comes in pink, gold and silver I believe. The user interface is intuitive and the menu structure is easily navigated. Having expected to have to sit there for hours to get used to navigating new menus, I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything appeared to be where it should be, making the E900 an easy phone to get used to, and use to its full potential. It comes equipped with a 2MP, 4x digital zoom camera with flash, which can also record video with sound. The camera does take very nice photos, and there are a whole host of settings available to alter the type of picture you're taking e.g. Picture size, Picture quality, ISO. More than...

Samsung SGH D900

Advantages: Stylish, Quite compact
Disadvantages: Camera, Sound, Memory

...I own this phone and i got it when it first came out at the end of last year some time. I got it on contract with Orange, so i can't really comment on what the price/value of the phone was. But, as with most contract phones, the handset was free and was delivered free of charge. LOOKS - When i first saw this phone, i thought it looked quite nice and compact, with the very slim and sleak stylings that was widely talked about and advertised on tele. I opened the box, and my initial thought was that it looked alot bigger than was shown on the tele, but was very thin, and looked good none the less. With the big screen and stylish front panel with the basic buttons on. With a silver trim around the middle arrows and okay button, and a small part along the top for the speaker, keeping in line with the Samsung logo on the front. I was...

Samsung D900i Mobile Phone

Advantages: Looks good, light, easy to use
Disadvantages: Bad battery life, breaks easily

...This is a really stylish looking phone, it is really thin but it is quite wide but is also quite light. It is available in chrome, black or pink - it is different on different networks. Over all I think this is a good phone but it does have its down points such as it breaks very easily. I dropped a glass next to it and a small piece of glass about 1-2 inches big bounced onto it, and the whole phone broke, it wouldn't even turn on, I think that was really bad and a phone shouldn't break that easily - especially thinking how good old phones used to be, you could do anything to them and they wouldn't break! The phone has a slide up feature which you can set to answer a call if you want. The buttons are quite large which is good for texting. It is generally quite an easy phone to use, especially if you have had a samsung before...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Good features
Disadvantages: Been said to not have good durability

...I basicly brought this phone as a cheaper alternitive to the D900 but having said that it is not a bad phone. Sleek in style and did have all the features in a phone that I was looking for, it is not really that different to the D900 apart from it's mermory cap and the fact that the touch key pad is sentive to the touch and juring use of the phone the canel button or call button can be easily caught by accident making over all useage abit of a challenge, texting is mostly what I find difficult as brushing your finger over the cancel button will delete some writen text if not all, thankfully it will not call out if it is in your pocket as the phone will not operate unless it is fully open, it doent have a key lock as such but is key locked if the phone is shut. Camera is good quality for a 2 MP and I am pleased with my pictures...

Samsung E900 Pink

Advantages: Very Easy to Use, Looks Good
Disadvantages: Everybodies got one, an I still can't find an Apostrophe!

...I originally bought the LG Chocolate cause it was going to be much better than anything else, how wrong I was! It broke three times in seven months so I gave up on it and opted for the Samsung E900. Best phone decision I've ever made. I was pleased when I opened the box to find a stylish and sophisticated, compact phone, USB cable, Charger, headset and the Samsung PC Studio Disc, and mine came complete with a two-year warranty. It pays to shop around. I chose the pink model, although I have seen it in the black which is also quite stylish, and been told it's also available in Silver and in Gold. I paid £99.99 for mine on O2 pay as you go, but have seen it advertised on other networks for as little as £79.99. This slider phone weighs in at 93g and their dimensions are a mere 93 x 45 x 16.5mm. When closed it has a touch...

Samsung SGH-U900 - Good or Bad?

Advantages: 5 mega-pixel camera, 3G video calling
Disadvantages: generally slow in speed, battery should be charged daily

...The Samsung SGH-U900 Soul boasts a 5 mega-pixel camera, 3G video calling, a super-cool touch pad, an MP3 player and a stylish finish chrome keypad. The best feature of this mobile phone would have to be the touch pad, which can be customised to the colour of your choice. Other features include an FM radio, camcorder, Java games, image editor and video editor. Also, you can customise your own theme to use generally on the phone, using a photograph or simply colours of your choice. In my experience, I have added up more cons than pros about this mobile phone for example, the ring tone volume. Anyone with impaired hearing would never hear an incoming call! This problem also applies to listening to the MP3 player whether by speaker or headphones. Another negative point about this phone is the battery life. I feel that the phone must be...

Samsung Omnia i-900 - avoid!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible touchscreen, awkward operation and generally rubbish!

...it to be. The regular Samsung menus are comparable to other Samsung handsets, and better to use. The phone also get ridiculously bad reception. In areas where I know reception should be good, this phone won't connect. When I was sold this phone in the shop I was told the Opera internet system was excellent and rivalled the iPhone's internet access. In reality it is slow and clunky, and I prefer to use the slightly better but not brilliant Interent Explorer on the phone. The internet runs very slowly on this phone - since getting it I have replaced it with a Samsung Tocco which is lower down the range but much faster at connecting and running on the internet. In fact the Tocco is a superior phone in every way being more responsive, smaller and sleeker. Also, I will often check my phone to find it has randomly connected itself to...

Review of Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia

Samsung D900

Advantages: Memory card slot, camera, MP3
Disadvantages: Text message tones

...After reading a lot of reviews when trying to buy a new phone recently, I finally settled on the D900 on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm glad I did. It's sleek and stylish and packed with many features which I'm still discovering nearly 3 months on. The design itself is very nice, and it's easy to handle. The key pad is nicely spaced out, the only downside being the lip at the bottom of the pad - people with bigger hands may find using the bottom 3 numbers a problem. Texting is an easy thing to master (I've had motorola phones and have found the transition pretty simple) as well as changing the settings on your phone to suit your needs. The best option the phone has to be the addition of a memory card slot, this allows you to add a huge amount of songs for the built in MP3 player - of which the sound is of a high...

A Review of the Samsung D900

Advantages: Look and feel; Portability; User Interface; Excellent camera given design
Disadvantages: Durability a little questionable; Some reservations over battery standby time

...I have been using this particular phone for almost a year now, as well as having used Samsung phones in the past for some time. In terms of aesthetics, I believe them to be unmatched, but I have a few reservations over their durability - all the Samsung phones I have owned have looked a little the worse for wear by the end of my contract. Nonetheless, the D900 establishes itself as one of the more stylish and sophisticated phones in the market, and the integration of a 3 megapixel camera into a sliding setup is an impressive design feat. In terms of usability, the interface is exemplary and an improvement on some previous models I have owned. The phone also has excellent compatibility with my PC, which might be a selling point for those who take a lot of pictures on their phones Altogether, I would recommend the D900 as...
