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 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...

X830, where did they think of this?!

Advantages: Amazing design and cool looks!
Disadvantages: Hard no navigate and easily broken.

...When purchasing my new x830 i was very excited about this new phone, everyone had been raving about it and early reviews had been promising. When i opened the box, everything that you need was there, USB, software, charger, phone etc. and the pohne its self was packaged well. I was surprised by the size of the handset its tiny! Starting the phone was easy enough, it turned on quickly. I find that the display is quite poor though, small and seems a bit cartoon like with the colours and menu icons. Next i tried the camera which was very impressive for a 1.3 megapixel, clear and crisp even when in poor conditions, but video is very standard and grainy. I then installed the software for transfering music which was easy to install, the transfer of files was quick and easy with minimal fuss and problems, but the phone seemed to slow down...

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 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 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...

☼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...

So Small And So Light!!!

Advantages: Wma format as well as Mp3
Disadvantages: Buttons are to small and close togther

...I have just got a Samsung X830 in pink (blush) but it does come in other colours too! black and white, the phone is really small, when closed it looks like an Ipod shuffle just slimmer it's also about the same size. The phone and features When you open the X830 up you are presented with the key pad, as you can guess the buttons are a little on the small side and close together so at first you do end up going in to functions that you don't want to access but you do get use to it after a while. The phone has an mp3 player that takes your normal mp3 format but the X830 also takes AAC and WMA files as well, now I like feature and was one of the reasons (and apart from it being pink!) why I got this phone. I find personalising my phone much easier and faster, as were before on my old Samsung phone I had to convert all the music into...

gr8 for music

Advantages: long battery life and an mp3 player built in
Disadvantages: the buttons

...i puchased my phone off O2 as everyone i know is with them, the only thing is they only had this phone in white, which to be honest i would not recommend. The phone shows up any dirt and its hard to get off. You can get it in pink from the orange shop but apparently, orange have the exclusive rights to it in pink. I would strongly recommend black, as they dont show up dirt as much.

samsungs ifone

Advantages: small, lightweight. large internal store.extremlely cool
Disadvantages: fiddly keys

...The samsung sgh-x830 is a cool looking phone. Firstly its small...very small (approx half as narrow and a little shorter than my motorola v3x). Not for those whom misplace things on a regular basis. Becuase of its size obviously the screens are going to be small but this is to be expected and although you can not see much of the photo on the screen, once you have put them on the computer you will see that samsung have squeezed as much quality as they can out of the modest 1.3mp camera. Aswell as this the camera lens is situated inconveneintly on the back just where your fingers hold the phone which means you have to hold the phone lower down to take a photo without getting a close up of your finger. however the camera is merely an added extra, looking at the phone front on you can see quite clealry its intended for use as...
