This phone is really good & easy to use. The touch screen is really good.

The only disappointment is that when I turn it off the battery dies so when I turn it back on there is no battery left.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Can't send a email, it says not enough memory. So deleted some but still won't send a email. Can't set a standard picture to my wallpaper, a little box comes on the pic & I can't make the box big enough to fill all the picture so I can save it, the picture comes out over 3 screens, tried to move the box & enlarge it but so frustrating, please help ohh the Internet won't come on as well. Only had it 2 days, where am I going wrong? Please help.

An excellent all round phone. The main problem I have is that when phoning home to pick up any messages on my answer machine, it is time consuming to display the keypad in order to input the security code resulting in the machine starting to record before I am ready.

I received this phone yesterday through Vodafone contract & without even looking at the manual I was able to figure out how to use it, it's so easy. The only problem I have is I don't know how to turn the sound off & put on to vibration when I receive or send a text message, I can't find it in the manual. Apart from that I think it's a fantastic phone. Can anyone help with the text sound please?

After getting hold of this phone I thought, wow, a great phone, cheaper than the Tocco Lite etc. Feels better & easier to hold than the Tocco Lite. But has less features than the much cheaper Samsung Genio.

I had a problem with this phone like Nicola from UK. It's holding back my texts. Can't receive or send calls or texts even though the phone is showing full signal. Then after a bit I'll get them all at once that's the only thing that lets this phone down.

At first when I bought this phone I thought great, couldn't wait to use it however when I got it home there was no signal, tried at work, no signal, tried at friend's houses, no signal. I took the phone back they replaced it, perfect it worked. Then 3 months later, people can't contact me as it says the phone is switched off when it's not, it won't let me text or receive texts even though it says there is a signal. So I am now taking the phone back for the second time! Therefore I would NOT recommend this phone.

I've been in possession of the Samsung Blade for a full weekend but have decided to send it back to Vodafone & replace it with an HTC Magic. The actual phone itself is a nice phone. It's no bigger than my old N95 8 gig but a lot thinner.

Positives.
- Clear display.
- Some nice widgets.
- Good download speeds.
- Clear web rendering.
- Good music player.
- Good radio.

Negatives.
- No Wi-Fi.
- No GPS.
- Fiddly USB cover destined to break off.
- Oversensitive touch screen resulting in too many numbers when dialling, spaces instead of deleting in text etc.
- General lack of any kind of support for reading office documents.

I think the phone is very good & it is also a very good touch screen phone & I loveit to bits.

I really like the design & usability of this phone. Texting apart, I've found it nicer to use than the Nokia 5800 that I've got as well to compare it against. However, the company had left on for the UK market the fake call facility which had caused me a lot of grief before it was identified. A general opinion from all reviews seems to be that the phone has some teething problems. A shame really.

I think it's a really good looking, slim phone.

Love the set up, & the touch screen is so easy to use.

I am really however disappointed with it. This could be down to the Network Provider, but the reception is absolutely dreadful! Trying to make important calls to hospitals, when it keeps crackling & stuttering is a real pain.

The camera also is pretty grainy.

This touch screen is rubbish. It looks lovely, but I have had it a week & it's being returned. Texting on it is ridiculous, if you're in predictive you press the space & it turns off. As for being super speedy, I had it within the first hour & already it started lagging, has lagging ever since. The Internet usage is great & the large screen for this also. But again selecting things is silly, & it will randomly zoom right out.

The buttons around the outside are so very sensitive it will randomly lock itself in mid usage. Most frustrating! Maybe I am just a hater of the touch screen. What's wrong with good old buttons? This definitely was not the phone for me.
