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...

Samsung L700 Digital Camera

Advantages: Looks good, good battery life, good quality photos
Disadvantages: Have to buy memory card and have to use specific battery

...I have recently brought the Samsung L700 Digital Camera and have so far been very pleased with it. I brought it before a night out and only got the charge the battery for a short time before using it for the first time and the battery didn't even go low all night - which i was very impressed about as many camera batterys do not last long. In the instruction manual it says for still photos the battery life is 85minutes and 70minutes for movies, but I had it on alot longer than that and also used it for 2 days after without the battery still going low. One problem with the battery is that it is a special camera battery rather than using rechargable batteries, so if there is a problem with the battery or it runs out while you are not with the charger you cant go and buy any batteries to go into it. The battery is recommended to be...

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...

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...

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...

Samsung E700

Advantages: just about everything!
Disadvantages: sometimes it takes photos when its in your pocket

...the settings or it's not possible. I prefer to type the texts rather then using the dictionary. The phone book is reliable, and for each person you save onto the phone you can put in their mobile number, home number, office number, fax, other numbers, e-mail and put them into a group. You can also choose a graphic for that person, so when they ring the picture you choose comes up on the front screen. It's also possible to assign ringtones to different groups in your phonebook. The camera is very good quality- my phone is currently holding 162 photos and I still have around quater of the memory left on the phone. There is a normal mode to take photos, a self shot mode (so you can see your face on the front screen as you look into the camera), multi shot (takes either 9 or 15 photos, so when you flick through the photos it appears as though...

SGH-U700 review

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.

Samsung SGH-F700

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

...trying to write an e-mail or text in a hurry, this is a lot more convenient when compared to something like the LG Viewty where it can become frustrating writing long texts or e-mails as the screen can be too sensitive or not sensitive enough to fulfill the users needs. This phone also features a vibrating effect once the touch screen is pressed which lets the user know that the phone has registered their touch. I personally find this to be a great gadget and the internet is simply wonderful - fast, clear, easy to use and just like using a regular computer to browse the web. Furthermore, with developing technology, popular websites such as ebay and facebook are creating "mobile sites" so that phone users can take advantage of all features. Despite the lazy touch screen, browsing the web on this phone is relatively easy as it is just a simple...

Review of Samsung SGH F700

My Sexy Samsung!

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

...Over the last 8 years, I have steadfastly stuck to the one brand of mobile phone, the Nokia. Basic reason being that I pretty much knew what I was getting and could mostly guarantee a trusty reliable phone for the year I had the contract. So, recently the time came again to upgrade my phone and since I had seen this phone on the TV I wanted to see what it was like. A friend at work got her hands on one so I had a go and was very much impressed! So I decided to take the plunge and phone up good old orange (yeah right, but that?s for another review) to see what they could do. Which ended up getting the phone for free because I shouted at them for a previous problem I had had and threatened to leave them completely! So, my new phone came through the post and was delivered to my work without any problems. As sad as it is, I was...
