Easy to use and very functional mobile phone. Battery life is quite good, mine only needs charging once a week and I use it on a regular basis. The camera on it takes quite a reasonable photograph, and it is very easy use. The only downside I have found is that the phone sometimes turns itself off without explanation. The charging time is about 2 hours from fully flat, which is good compared with other makes of mobile phone. Another slight problem I have found is that when you download your pictures on a computer, for some reason it some times takes a couple of attempts before it does it.

Fiddly to use and cannot get a good signal in the house, would not buy another one and the buttons wear out easily, not ideal for daily use, more for people who only use a moblie now and again but it is strong and not breakable when dropped. Long life with the battery, only needs to be recharged once a week if left on 24hrs - 7 days a week. Takes reasonable photos, the free games on it are good, but no internet connection with this one.

A fiddly phone to use, but stylish to look at. I'm yet to meet anyone who found it easy to take my photo when I asked them to, the centre button and other buttons tend to activate when not wanted meaning you can get menus pop up in the middle of something else you were doing.

The screen is also not as bright outdoors as it could be, and you may have to position your ear carefully to hear an incoming caller. Sometimes the slider does not activate the screen and there's a delay in seeing anything on the LCD display.

You may have to change settings or you'll find the phone may accidentally activate your web/WAP browser if you inadvertently touch one of those buttons. Yes, it can be adjusted to reduce the chances of that but it's still far too fiddly for large masculine fingers!

Also disappointing is you can't have an MP3 as a text message alert, and using the micro SD card for storage is not an intuitive matter. The software with the phone helps but it's not as easy as it could be. That said, the PC software is better than other manufacturers' that I've used and always recognises the phone is connected - some phones don't easily talk to the PC.

A good phone if you can get it on the discounted side, but have your most precise thumbs at the ready!

This phone is not too bad as a basic phone although I wouldn't say much for the camera - the quality is not that great. I have it in black and silver and I quite like that it is not that popular a handset so not everyone has it.

I did have a few problems though with the software not really sure why but I got them fixed and now its been working fine, hopefully it will last me a good few years as don't want to have to upgrade handsets every year.

I am not that careful with it but it seems to still work fine so overall a very solid phone but nothing special, all I want from it is calls and texts so it fits the bill.

This phone had a rocky start, twice in the first month I had it sent off to Carphone Warehouse repair centre, first time, no idea why, second time, needed a software update!! who sells a phone and the software needs updating in a month! I am on to my third battery in this phone due to its useless charging ability from the beginning.

But I've had it now 8 months and have learnt to deal with the flaws. Will probably buy Samsung again, they have been a lot more reliable than this one in the past, but having said that, it has seen a few knocks and bumps in its time and survived them.

All in all it basically does what I want it to, but probably wouldn't go back and buy the same one again.
