Reviewer: Keith - Essex, UK
Date: 12th Dec 2010

This phones oozes charm, with the large touch screen.

unfortunately touch screen, making it difficult to do the simplest task. Also it had a mind of its own, making calls & sending text whilst unattended. Also it would not connect to the PC with Samsungs kies software. This was replaced with another new 3370, the screen was much more responsive but again it would not connect to the PC, this has now been replaced with Nokia 5230.

Also could not find any way of changing the alert tune when a text is received & the alarms do not function when the mobile is switched off (handy during the night as a tone is generated whenever a new email is received).

All in all a bad experience of what should have been a good mobile.
