Samsung SGH-700 Phone

Advantages: A great, reliable and cheap phone full of standard features
Disadvantages: Not the highest picture and sound quality

...My brand new F480 Tocco popped its clogs a couple of weeks ago after just a couple of months usage, and with very little pennies in the bank at the moment I couldn't afford to just go out and buy another one, so off I trotted to Mommy and Daddys house to see if they had a spare phone for me to use. They came to my rescue with my Dads previous phone which he had kept as a spare phone - the Samsung SGH-J700. ~The Phone Itself~ The design itself is quite sleek, obviously not to the standard of some of the newer and more expensive phones of late, but still quite stylish in looks for the price paid for it. It is a 'slide-up' phone where you have to push the screen up to reveal the key buttons underneath. This is a standard style phone and not a touch screen phone. It is available with either a black or silver casing. I personally...

Review of Samsung SGH-J700

Not quite 700 out of 100

Advantages: stylish; everything you need
Disadvantages: not much memory; keypad a little small

...Samsung, in my opinion, make some of the best, well made products and thus, all my gadgets tend to be manufactured by SAMSUNG, including ONE of my mobile phones - the Samung J-700. The J-700 comes available in either metallic black or pink so it's stylish for boys and girls a like though I do consider this more of a 'girly' looking phone with it's long slender smooth appearance. The phone is a slide up which are my favourite kinds. I always feel like I will smash the screen with flip phones and with standard ones, the key pads always get accidentally pressed and you call someone unknowingly. With a slide, the key pad is protected by the front screen. A simply push upwards eaily slides the screen up with a click to reveal the keypad and locks securely into place. All the keypad and buttons light up when this happens and go off shortly...

The Samsung SGH - F480

Advantages: Looks great, has lots of useful functions and you can personalise it to your exact needs.
Disadvantages: Slow internet, hardly ever get a 3G signal and the text messaging keypad could be improved.

...The Samsung SGH - F480, also known as the Samsung Tocco is an ultra-stylish touch screen mobile phone. With its great looks and its 5 mega pixel camera the Samsung Tocco is one of the best choice of touch screen mobile phones out on the market today. It is so simple to use yet there are so many different functions built into it so you can do to it to make it exactly how you want. Like many other phones, as soon as you turn the phone on you are greeted with your home-screen. On the tocco's home-screen there is a sliding bar along the side called the touch wiz where you can store all of your favourite applications, such as your music player, and simply drag them onto the main screen of the phone when you want to use it. This is a great function as if you like to have a clear home-screen on your phone it allows you to have one just by...

Sleek & Stylish U700

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...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 service that they have provided and I was over the moon when they offered me the tariff of 600 mins and unlimited text messages, all for £35. The tariff I was on before was 200 minutes and 500 text messages for the same price, in which I was going over by at least 500 messages and my bill was coming in around £100 per month which was ridiculous. I hadn't really looked at which phone I would be interested in, however I fancied a Samsung phone and they offered me a U700. All I knew was it was slim and silver, sounded good to me so I opted for that. THe phone itself is very light...

Play it again Samsung

Advantages: Good camera
Disadvantages: Fragile

...or £40 cash, plus a compulsory ten quid's worth of credit with the network you chose. I chose Vodafone for no particular reason, my previous P-A-Y-G phones all BTcellnet and 02. One presumes it cost less to pay on debit cards so they can hook you into their databases. They really push you to register the phone with the providers from day one, a measly pound sterling for your efforts. The Samsung 700i is the latest X1in many ways, a cheap model that has all the basic features and the all important pay-as-you-go options for most networks. Its looks pretty neat and with its slide up handset and sleek black and silver finish it wont embarrass you in those trendy bars, no need to worry about the beautiful people who pull out their £250 pound phones pointing at you in disgust and mockery as they take pictures of each other to make sure they...

Advantages: slim phone, wide screen, 3G with 2 cameras: front (VGA) and back (3.2MP)
Disadvantages: touch pad buttons, loop like button, low internal memory, low maximum external memory

...i am a samsung phone user and this year i bought another cellphone. This slim design gives this cellphone thumbs up before the other new cellphone. lets break down the pros and cons of this cellphone: pros: *design are very attractive: slim phone, available in silver colors *wide screen dimensions *bigger fonts on screen resolution *3G capable *2 cameras, front (VGA) and back (3.2MP) cons: *touch pad buttons *loop like buttons (located at its center), this button is just like the button in ipods. this is a con because this kind of button is a recipe for faster deterioration of the product *low internal memory *low maximum external memory: up to 2GB only *games version of the java is still not supported by a large amount of t sites...

Samsung help you keep in touch on the cheap

Advantages: User friendly and a lot of phone for the price
Disadvantages: getting the back off initially

...I usually go with Nokia mobile phones but as I was in a bit of a rush due to my much needed phone being in adversity damaged, (more dropped into a toilet to be exact? which doesn?t do it any good at all), I went for a cheap and cheerful model known as a Samsung J700, which is offered on all networks with either PAYG or contract. I opted for a PAYG on the orange networks as I have been on Orange for what seems like an eternity. Anyway, I had heard a few good things about this particular phone and thought ?why the hell not??? I mean, for under thirty quid I couldn?t grumble. WHAT IS IT..? It is a sliding phone weighing in at under 100 grams, easily fitting into your pocket, being approximately 10 by 5 cm and a little under 1 ½ cm thick. WHAT?S IN THE BOX..? Opening the box I found * The actual phone...

Advantages: Internet browsing, photo quality, sound quality, ease of use, touch-screen lock.
Disadvantages: Touch screen delays.

...up and down movement. It really is like having the world in your pocket and with a better touch screen this phone could easily top the other favourites such as the IPhone, Nokia N95 and other Samsung touch-screen models....

My Sexy Samsung!

Advantages: Great for taking pictures, looks, battery time
Disadvantages: Crap alarm, easily scratched.

...try and get the little plastic bit out to put the earpiece in! And since I drive (and abide by the no use of mobiles while driving law) I need to spend a good 5 mins wrestling with it to budge. Once I have managed it however, the quality through the earpiece is excellent although I did buy this separately so not sure if that?s down to the carphonewarehouse or Samsung! Battery Time I have found this to be really quite good depending on how you are using the phone. It?s quoted to be about 180 mins of talktime and 240 hours in standbye which I feel is realistic. If you are using the camera a lot however, be prepared to charge it quite a lot as this does take up a lot of power. Oh, a note on charging, when you first get the phone it has a little plastic insert that covers the charging port at the bottom of the phone which is TOTALLY...

Review of Samsung SGH E700

what happend Samsung ?

Advantages: Good 3.2 mega pixels camera , good looking phone
Disadvantages: very unreliable

...As a loyal user of samsung phones, previously on pay as you go tarrifs my next phone was always going to be samsung. The nature of my new job meant using my mobile phone a lot more so a contract tarrif made more sense. Having selected a network provider I was delighted that there were two samsung phones to choose between. I was instantly drawn like a magpie to the beautifully slim, increadibly shiny silver sgh u700, with its large screen and easy to navigate icons......BAD MOVE. I hadnt owned the phone more than three months when i had my first problem with it, The over sensitive menu button seemed to have moved somewhere within deeming it necessary to stab all around it trying to get to the menu. The phone was returned to the manufacturer for repair but unsuccessfull so a new SGH U700 arrived in its place. This one lasted slightly...
