Love the phone but the camera is rubbish unless the subject is not moving & the battery doesn't last long enough. I have gone back to my z400!

It's a good phone & excellent quality. I have dropped mine many of times & it has not broken. I love the touch screen, although I do occasionally call someone by mistake. Overall it is a great phone.

I love this mobile phone so much! It's the best mobile I have ever had, seeing as my list mobile was a Motorola, which is an awful make! The design is so sleek & neat, & you can get in silver or pink!

It's easy to use & I have had no problem with the touch pad at all, ever, only ever so often I may ring someone by mistake but otherwise I put it on lock when it's in my hand bag! I love this mobile loads even when it breaks (which won't be for ages I bet) I will continue to get the same phone because I love it so much.

If you are looking for a simple phone, sleek, with great features, this is the phone you want, trust me, it rocks! The only slight downer is that the camera does not have flash so it does not work in bad light, but otherwise it's fabulous! The screen is slightly speckled which is a bit annoying bit you only see it if you look very closely!

I love this mobile & I know you will love it to! Don't listen to any of the bad reviews about this phone because it's fabulous & if they say it does not work very well its only because they are not using it properly! Listen to me, if you get this mobile first hand it's amazing, it's well worth the money & it will not let you down!

I love it! Wooo! Bye.

This phone is fabulous! I love it & I think that a lot of others will too. It's really slim & all my friends are jealous. I have had it for three months & I've got to say everything about the phone is great, apart from the battery life. I am the type of person who is always texting & messing about on my phone so battery is quite important. Mind you, I don't really care if I need to charge it as long as I have a phone!

10 out of 10 for the Samsung E840!

This is a great phone!
It's really stylish & skinny. The camera could be better but its good enough. I used 2 have a Sony Ericsson k300 which lasted 3 years. But this phone is a whole lot better! I recommend it for someone who wants a cheap but designer phone!

Buy it now! :) x x x.

I find that the e840 is a phone worth getting for the price that it is. I like the design but some of the colours are bad. The features are good & the usability is heavy. I would say get this phone. P.S.I also like the touch buttons.

THIS PHONE IS REALLY GOOD. ITS the BEST PHONE I have EVER HAD SO don't LISTEN TO BAD COMMENTS, I WAS WORRIED AS WELL READING THESE COMMENTS BEFORE I GOT THIS PHONE BUT SOME COMMENTS ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. THIS IS A good PHONE! BUY IT!

Nothing wrong with it can't understand the problems people have the keys are easy & the new thing about phones is touch screen so if you don't like why buy the phone.

I love this mobile, I don't know why everyone is saying that the touch keys are rubbish, I don't believe it.

I use it all the time & it has never failed on me. It is a fabulous phone I love the sleek & stylish design, it is ideal for a girl like me.

I am sure that if you buy this mobile it will not let you down.

Reviewer: Jf - Derbyshire, UK
Date: 16th Feb 2008

This phone is a good phone to look at but the problem with it is, it's the user interface is appalling & Motorola have used the same desktop the camera is good because you have to be in the correct light to get the picture good otherwise it is always blurry if you move it a touch. It is quite a boring phone to be honest because there is nothing to do on it.

Think before getting one. I prefer the E900 to this phone.

Reviewer: Sanjay - Palani, India
Date: 16th Feb 2008

You know people THIS IS A cool GADGET but it is a bad mobile phone. I got some games into it but they don't work. I got some images into it but they don't work. I got some songs into it but they don't work. I got some software into it but they don't work. Nothing works in my e840. Please do not buy.

Reviewer: Lisa - Birmingham, UK
Date: 11th Feb 2008

I had this phone for my birthday in September & I loved it as soon as I saw it, BUT, there is a big problem with this phone, it's the software. My phone worked perfectly until last month. It wouldn't let me open my address book or let me send messages. I went to four phone shops to get some opinions of what was wrong with it & they all said it's the software. One person said that once the software goes in this phone it's hard for it to work again. I've sent it off to be repaired & will get it back the end of the month so I will keep you updated.

This is one of the best mobile phones I have ever had, I can not fault it for any thing.

---

Reviewer: Ashleigh - UK
Date: 8th Feb 2008

I think this phone is great! I got it for my birthday & I think it is really easy to handle.

The camera on it could be better but it is better then the LG Chocolates which I thought was quite good.

I have the pink E840 & it looks really lush!

The touch pad is a bit difficult to use at first but you get used to after about a week.

I would give this a 10/10

For any future buyers go for it!

AMAZING. This phone is great. I don't understand what the other people were going on about. It's amazing. Easy to use & super chick especially now they have brought out the new pink & silver version! A truly top phone.

A NO NO. I don't LIKE the DESIGN, BATTERY RUBBISH. IT'S JUST A BAD VERSION OF the LG SHINE. The LG SHINE IS SO MUCH BETTER. & IT LOOKS MORE CLASSY.

LG SHINE, SO MUCH BETTER.

Date: 21st Jan 2008

A great phone when it works, unfortunately phone numbers or pictures as you can't see them. I wonder whether it's the connection with the slide?

If you have one that keeps working they are great as the screen display is large, the buttons are big & the battery lasts! It's a nice looking phone as well. I have a few friends who have had Samsungs & their experience has been pretty much the same.

Phone looks great, got good features, covers almost all the necessities required but lacking in handling. The touch screen provided becomes mess at times.

Reviewer: Shantal - Paris, France
Date: 18th Jan 2008

Well I never! The Samsung E840 is brilliant! I just got it today, & I can't stop touch him all the day. It's so slim & stylish & really wonderful. I have no problem with touch sensitive keys, I touch him first time in my live & used to him, I don't think that would be a problem to anyone, it's really easy. The mirror effect look really amazing & the features are great too. Camera is really good, even not having flash, I am taking a pictures all the day in my room & the effect is just the same like having a flash, the pictures are nice & light, I was scary about that but the quality is great. The sound is perfect & there is enough memory, anyway you can buy a memory card if you need more space for your stuffs, I plan to buy one too. There is FM radio too & Bluetooth & I think this phone has everything, especially for girls because the design is the best ever, I really recommended this brilliant phone, & I can't understand the people that writing a bad reviews about them, believe me is simply the best one! Sorry about my English, I am from France.

This phone is amazing. I got it for my Christmas & when am not using it a just look at it! I love the look & if you're buying don't listen to all the bad reviews. I know everyone says that but a really mean it. My friend has got the w580i & I read up on it just there I would much prefer having this phone than hers! I was a bit worried about people saying bad stuff to me about it because when you slide it up the slides stay there but I had nothing to worry about because everyone loved it. Tons of people have it now & got it because of me & are constantly thanking me showing them mine. Because I if didn't they wouldn't have known about it. Overall this phone is the best. The touch pads aren't sensitive & people who said all that are just jealous! I love the camera & everything! You can even change the font type to them, sticky notes or fountain pen it is so cool! I've got the pink one & if you're a girl I would definitely go for that one! Anyway the phone is great & you would be silly not to buy it. I wouldn't swap it for any other phone in the world!

Great Handset, Slim & sleek, Very Stylish, Large display Screen Resolution is just too good, Smooth solid slide action, lovely graphics touches, Music Player (MP3, ACC, ACC+, eAAC+ & WMA)

Only weakness I saw is speaker phone is not quite as loud as on some other mobiles Anyways. GO for this sleek Mobile & make your friends jealous of you.

Reviewer: TC - UK
Date: 4th Jan 2008

This phone is the WORST phone ever. It has had to be replaced 3 times, & I am not allowed to change my model!

The software is glitchy, the camera is terrible, & when you accidentally hit the *TOUCH SENSITIVE* hang up button while texting (believe me this is all too easy to do!) then you are not prompted to save to drafts, you just go to the 'desktop' or whatever you call it.

DO NOT GET THIS PHONE!

Please.

For your own good. When I contact customer services, they say this is the most complained about phone they sell (The reseller said this not Samsung) & it is the one they have to return most.

Reviewer: Miranda - Nantes, France
Date: 27th Dec 2007

So far, I am prepared to think the VERY best of this phones brilliant looks (rivals the LG shine) & its design. Its usability seems pretty stable & consistent, however I am wondering what's better, the e840 or the e900? (Samsung) could somebody please tell me?

Reviewer: Dan - US
Date: 9th Dec 2007

Don't let this phone fool you, it looks great, with its mirror finish & high specifications for a reasonable prise but once out of the box there are a few things Samsung don't tell you like the poor camera quality for one hardly the good quality cameras usually produces from Samsung.

I previously had the Samsung z400, that was a great phone the camera was sharp even when printing out. But the worst thing about the Samsung E840 is that the memory card does not connect properly with the phone if you want to use any of the photos as wall paper or add the songs to your MP3 they have to be copied to the phone defeating though whole purpose for the memory card.

Overall it is an average phone which promises more than it can deliver. The only big plus about this phone is the design which looks great.

Reviewer: John - Isle Of Barra, UK
Date: 11th Oct 2007

This is an okay phone however I have many problems with it.

After a while the slider on the phone becomes sticky & the screen can become really dirty requiring daily cleaning!

The number buttons can be difficult to press sometimes due to the outer edge & so this phone is not great for people with bigger hands. The touch screen, for me, is awful. I keep phoning people when going through my contacts. Grrrrr.

The phones music player takes quite a while to switch on & so does the camera.

The phone scratches very easily & so I recommend separating it & coins into different pockets.

Reviewer: Taylor - UK

I have had this phone for a month now & the only 2 problems I have had with it are number one it scratches so easily so keep the protective film on & number two, the slide up bit can get a little bit wobbly but its back to normal after a few hours. AWESOME PHONE!

I have the pink version of this phone & I like it. However I do agree that the touch sensitive buttons don't always do what you want them to do & anyone with big hands would struggle to compose a text message. All in all though I like my slim pink phone!

I recently purchased this phone. I was a bit uneasy about choosing one I knew what it had to have. Looking in Carphone Warehouse this phone instantly caught my attention. It has a stunning mirrored screen! I was debating between this phone & the Sony W810i.

I had read a lot about how fabulous the W810i was but I decided that I would take a walk on the wild side & buy this one. I simply wanted a good camera which could record videos & a phone which played music. Since buying this phone it has never seized to amaze me it has more than I first expected. All my friends think this phone is ace & it is.

Personally the touch screen is perfectly fine. & as for having fat fingers I wouldn't know. This phone has the F in fun, defiantly one to consider! I also don't understand how people have problems with the phone book it is easy & simple. It is easy to move things to your computer via USB all you have to do is install a CD & away you go.

This phone gets 10/10 every time!

To the people that have this phone? Does it have a flash & can you use 3.5mm headphones with an adapter?

Reviewer: Rob - Ireland

READ FOR GREAT ADVICE

Bought this phone from a well known UK mobile phone shop chain (CPW) on pay as you go for only £89 (& unlocked too) - very nice deal, as no need to obtain annoying unlocking puk code, if you wish to swap sims around.

Style wise: Samsung speaks for itself - very nice & slim with a sleek high glossy shine. Slips into shirt pocket just nicely.

Ease of use: Can be a little trickier than most phones to use as some of the keys are standard buttons, but others are touch screen type. Personally, I find it tricky, as you have to remember to press the touch screen buttons lighter than the standard buttons.

Overall: This is a nice phone, with lots of features & for the cash - a good deal. Battery life is OK for a phone of this thinkness & I personally average about 4 days between charge ups (that's with making a fair few calls too).

Should you buy one?
For £80 to £90 then you can't go wrong, & would pay a lot more for a phone of this standard with 2 mega pixel camera, radio, MP3, 262k resolution screen & speaker phone.

- Good phone.
- Stunning looks.
- High Speedy performance.
- Intelligent SW.

MP3 playback sound is bit weak, but overall 8.5/10.

Good value for money.

Reviewer: Hannah - Warrington, UK
Date: 10th Sep 2007

I think this phone is pretty good, but I found it difficult to part with my old Sony phone as it had a built in Walkman & this sound system is a bit dull sounding.

One thing I cannot figure out is why my contacts in my phone book are Last Name, First Name? Is there a way I can change these round as it is driving me mad?

Apart from this I have nothing bad to add about this phone.

---

Reviewer: Matt - UK
Date: 4th Sep 2007

This phone is not easy to use if you have large hands. If you like touch buttons then it's a good phone, the camera is quite good for a 2 megapixel camera with no flash. The music player is also good, especially with a 2GB micro SD. However, the phone is very top heavy when the slider is open, the battery only lasts about 3 days & if you are out in the freezing cold & have to call somebody then don't bother because the touch buttons don't work in the cold.

Reviewer: Yash - Mumbai, India
Date: 1st Sep 2007

In India the phone comes a bit pricier. But still it is a good buy. The most stylish phone in its class. Using the feather touch buttons needs a bit of practice but it's OK. Sound quality is good. Camera is OK. Not good for texting though.

---

Reviewer: Sharon - London, UK
Date: 27th Aug 2007

I love getting a new phone & playing with it, & I even read the instruction book eventually. So, hugely excited when I got this but. It's horrible! The sound quality is dreadful, it feels cheap & tacky & the controls seem to have a mind of their own so that even making/answering a call is a chore. Swapped it within 3 weeks for a different phone as this one was just irritating & life is too short for hassle.

Reviewer: Starling - Lancaster, UK
Date: 20th Aug 2007

I want my old phone back! This thing is a pain. The worst thing is that it'll randomly ring people without pressing a button, & that it'll also randomly cancel things. Great when you're online & have done about a gazillion searches to get where you were in the first place.

It's not a small phone either. It might be flat, but it's wider than your average phone. The menus are even more illogical than the ones on other Samsung phones (don't think you can find the world clock settings under 'settings' because that'd be logical).

The 'touch' buttons either don't respond or respond when you haven't pressed them. The other buttons are sunken into the phone & give you sore fingers when texting. Most of the games are 'demo' games & you have to buy the full versions. It has no 'reject' option when you get a call. Lovely when you're in a different time zone & someone rings you at 4am, Grrr.

I am getting another D600i as soon as I can. Much nicer phone.

Reviewer: Barry J Rushby - Warrington, UK
Date: 19th Aug 2007

READ ALL OTHER REVIEWS THEN READ THIS. I am known to my peers to be something of a 'gadget freak', new phone every week etc, but not anymore. Since buying this phone I never cease to be amazed by the many things this phone is capable of which on many a 'smart' phone, you have to pay extra for. For example: rejecting unwanted calls with a text message, a reminder system that allows you to set a reminder for the start time of a radio programme, a contact ID system that shows a full size picture of the caller.

What about the phones clever unseen stuff? A message arrives, you've not read it yet, the display gives a magnificent visual display that changes it concept daily, until you've read it, & the really clever stuff. Throughout the day the screen changes 'till at night time, the sky has changed to night, the birds have gone to bed, & the stars come out! WOW.

Beware! A word of caution, yes those keys are very sensitive & like me, you could end up ringing the wrong people at the wrong time (a lot!), but seriously, a GREAT phone. Buy one & enjoy.

This is the best phone ever! A really cool phone.

Good things are:

- Camera is brilliant, flash is there.
- OS is good.
- Bigger Screen.
- FM Radio.
- It's at an affordable price.

Bad things are:

- Only thing bad is top 4 buttons, they are sensitive.

But when you get used to it. It won't be a problem!

I earlier used Nokia 6300 n Sony Ericsson Z550.but I can proudly say ' This is the best & everyone should get it'.

Don't believe me. Just go to the mobile store & see with your naked eye.

The only word I can say 'BRILLIANT'.

This phone is the best! I have had many phones up to about 13, in the last 2 years. Many phones I have managed to scratch especially when it's in my bag, but this there is none & no finger prints which I hate especially when trying to take a photo, that gets really annoying. I know what I am looking for in gadgets, so they have to be really good & as for the 2 mega pixel camera you can't go wrong, the quality is great, it looks very much like the LG shine, great phone price approximately £89.99.

The Samsung e840 is a sleek cool phone but you can't judge a book by its cover because this phone has terrible features with OK usability. Sorry to put you off but this is a bad phone.
