This phone has a very stylish & sleek design. Unfortunately the camera is very poor & the battery life is not very good.

The touch buttons are very frustrating. You can be in the middlle of doing something on your phone when you accidentally touch the clear button & whatever your doing is deleted. Also the keys are quite small & fiddly to text with.

It is good because it is quite small & compact.

This is an amazing phone. I have had it for 3 years now & it has literally bin dropped down stairs, trodden on & similar problems & it is still working absolutely brilliantly. I am getting new phone basically because screen is scratched beyond belief but that's totally my fault & I am really sad 2 get rid of it. I have gone for another Samsung phone because of their simplicity to use & general style & elegance, I love them. It is a really good phone, touch buttons included & I would fully recommend it. LOVE IT!

I've had this phone for about 2 years, it's being dropped on the road & dropped in water & it still works fine. I love the touch buttons & it's really easy to use. When I get another phone it will defiantly be a Samsung.

Had this phone for about 3 years. It's been everywhere with me, knocked & ran over by cars & all sorts, but has lasted me ages!

Only today has it rebelled & that's because the touch pad just stopped working. I am presuming it's just a wire or something inside, but I use my phone excessively, so it's been really good.

The only problem I have found is that the buttons don't respond when you have gloves on. Slightly annoying in the freezing cold, but, that's the most I have to complain about. For me, the battery has been fine, it lasts me about 2 days, & that's with me constantly chatting or texting.

& I agree about the alarm being so irritating. Gets me up every morning!

But, overall, a very good phone, that can stand a lot of abuse. I am buying a new E900 to replace my current one!

Nice phone, one incredibly annoying problem is that you never know who you're voice mails are from as it doesn't tell you what their number is, you only know whos sent you a voice mail if they actually tell you in the voice mail itself.

I have had this phone for 2 years it is incredible. I am getting a new phone & it will definitely be a Samsung. Its touch buttons, once you get used to them, are fun. Even my 7 year old sister can use them. I would definitely recommend this phone for anyone who enjoys playing games while listening to music or just someone who wants a stylish phone Xxx.

I have had this phone for about a year. It is a good phone but I wouldn't recommend buying it. Its battery life is shocking & you can't use a personalised ringtone as your message tone you have to use a sample one : (. Great camera & great texting. It takes a long time to load up all your music & photos. No crashes!

When I first got this phone I fought it was amazing but after having it for about a year I have started to have second fought & decided to buy a new phone. This phone is excellent it you don't like using them often the maximum amount of time you can use this phone without the battery dying on you is about 2 hours & then you have to charge it up again & when switched off this takes about 2 hours. Also the camera is good as long as you don't make a slightest movement for about 2 seconds after taking the picture. Also when playing your music from a memory card it doesn't change song until you press the button after it has finished otherwise it just doesn't play anything. When texting if you need to add a word to the dictionary if it has more words than you first typed it will crash your phone & the phone restarts itself but apart from that it is a good phone & is very resistant against being dropped.

Had this phone over a year & what first attracted me what its slick looks. General usage has meant that there are a few odd scratches here & there but doesn't spoil it.

Nice little phone which does all you need easily.

Annoying thing is that (but is with a lot of Samsungs) you cannot set it to vibrate & ring at the same time. It can either, only vibrate, only ring or vibrate 5times then start to ring. Also, the ringtones are not the best, but you can use an MP3 song which you can easily put on the phone with the USB cable supplied or via Bluetooth from another phone. However, this does not apply to the message or alarm tones so you have to pick the least strange tone.

Along the same point, you cannot personalise it as much as other makes, especially considering Sony Ericsson's so if that's something you like then it's something you will have to deal with.

Only have two full games available which are OK but it's easy to download new games to your phone.

I think the WAP is a little tricky to use but no more than other phones which are not made with lots of Internet usage in mind.

Menu & set up of the phone is easy to navigate through. It's also easy to change what the main key on the front of the phone is s shortcut & also there is a customisable 'My Menu' when you simply press the up key for quick access to the functions you use the most whether that is the calculator, games, inbox, calendar, to do list, etc.

The touch buttons are a bit tricky to use to start with, you keep accidentally touching the cancel button. But you get used to this within a week & then you're fine with them. However, they can be fiddly for some, I.e. My grandparents & parents LOL.

Camera isn't the best but this isn't made to be a camera phone. Have to hold hand very steady to get a sharp image as it blurs easily but the flash does help somewhat.
Randomly now & again but not at all often, it will restart itself but this was never while in the middle of something.

As time went by, the touch buttons would start to play up. At the start this was rare to happen but now, it happens too much & I am buying a new phone. The buttons would freeze & the select touch button would keep setting itself off just go through the menus. This stops when you slide the phone shut but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes before it stops doing it all together. It normally happens when writing a text which makes it all the more frustrating.

This has been my only fault with the phone though & I know a lot of other people who have this phone have not experienced this.

Loved this phone & wouldn't be getting rid of it so soon was it not for this problem as it seems quite sturdy enough to last a lot longer.

One of the worst phones I have ever had. I adored this phone for the first few weeks, than I started to get bored, it's touch sensitive keypad is so annoying, your half way through a long text & you press back by accident & low & behold your straight back to the menu with out saving it to the drafts!

You cannot have different text tones apart from the bog standard & very boring ones usually about 8 tones. The files area can be tricky at first but then you get used to it.

The design menu is not fir at all, especially if you're a male. They first start you off with a T Mobile design & it is pink, but the icons have very good animations, but, if you are a male you would much prefer the black & Orange design, although it does not have good animations with it.

The camera is OK, but it has at least a 2 second delay after you will press take, so when you put it down from the scenery it'll be all blurred from when you moved your arm down.

Its battery life is OK, I'll say 5 days if you turn it off at night (which is what I do) but if you don't I'll say you'll charge it every two nights.

It scratches very easily, I dropped it on my floor (which is carpet) & the back of the phone, which is what hold the card in, came off & cracked! This phone is very brittle, I bought a protective case & that cracked in the corner, making it all loose, that came off & another part of the phone cracked! So I went into the T Mobile store & asked for a refund & they said no! Apparently there phones are strong & so are the cases!

The applications are OK, but the games are rubbish! You go to play them, yes on all phones you have to pay for them, but not $6.00! The only free game is Lemmings, which had no instructions & is actually makes you think, what the heck am I doing?

The Internet is OK, although I could not get the WNW (WEB N WALK) & it'll load up, the Java logo will come on & then it'll go back to the menu straight after, after I paid $10 for my free 10 day Internet! So basically I gave T Mobile my money!

So yes overall I hated this phone I still have it, I haven't turned it on in 8 weeks, so for Christmas my wife is going to buy me the LG KS360, which is via the reviews, is a very good phone, well thanks for reading guys!

Had this phone for 18 months. At first it was amazing, the camera was brilliant though downloading songs was a bit difficult but managed to do it in the end. Having to buy a new phone now as the phone has completely died, the battery life now only lasts for 6 hours. Alarm is very annoying which I find hilarious & all accessibility is great.

Would recommend for 12 to 18 months, but if your looking for a long term phone, this is not it.

Am in mourning for my E900 today. It's been dropped in the bath, no problem & dropped on the floor loads but has suffered 1 drop on the pavement too many today & the screen has finally given out. Have had the phone for over 12 months now & despite initial problems with the soft touch buttons & boredom with the text tones, I've loved this phone like none I've had before, excellent value for money, after initial high price, ease of use & camera has produced some really good pictures on print, wish it was still readily available to buy as I need a quick replacement & can't imagine another phone replacing E900 to my satisfaction.

The touch buttons & the MP3 player drove me nuts, send it back. I could not for the life of me import songs from the memory card into the playlists & the touch buttons are oversensitive even for my small fingers. Touch any of the top buttons while texting & your back to the mail screen. Looks good, works horrible.

Me mate & my best friend have this phone & I love it, I am getting it instead on my brick of Song Ericsson K610i but that's another story, they have had NO problems with the phone, the memory is great as are the looks, my best friend does get annoyed with the touch screen but he has chubby fingers so that's self explanatory, the layout is good, but unlike my recent phone it doesn't store important things like passwords & PIN numbers but never mind I can always remember them somehow. All of these bad reports like battery problems, none what so ever, it could be due to overcharging, that happened to me old phone, wouldn't last 5 seconds (no joke! ) but with my recent one I charge it when it's half full & no problems there. So problem solved me thinks.

I would advise anyone to get this phone, cheap, easy, & pretty.

I have the pink Samsung E900 & it looked really good in adverts but when I got it, it looked more like a red phone.

Also when I am texting or looking at pictures I slight touch of the button & you are back to the main screen so it is very sensitive. The battery life is rubbish when fully charged you can only listen to about 15songs before it is died, although the camera is fantastic but the flash is rubbish you can't take clear pictures at night.

I do recommend this phone but if you like your music & pictures you are best to try another phone.

I've had the e900 for about a year & a half now & so far so good! I've never had any major problems with it, I agree with some people who say that it is slightly annoying that you can't put on your own ringtone for texts, but its not the end of the world! The touch sensitive buttons are different if you're not used to them but you soon get familiar with it. As for the camera, no its not the best but at the end of the day its a phone, these designers aren't designing cameras, they're creating phones! So all I can say is, if you're interested in taking a lot of photos then buy a camera instead!

This phone is great but after a while whenever it lost signal it cancelled what you were doing then went onto the screen when you first switched it on after that it said please wait for a couple of minutes then went back to the main menu. This happened even when you were on a call. Very Annoying. So I'd recommend this phone but be careful.

My E900 has just been through the wash & sadly died, Yippee. Rubbish phone. Touch sensitive keys are a nightmare. You will always press them by accident which is so annoying. The delay when taking pictures is terrible, you need to allow a second between pressing the shutter button & snapping your subject. MP3 playback OK, but had some trouble uploading songs so lost interest. Accessing anything stored on your memory card takes an age. Also you can't change the text message tone to anything other than the standard Samsung chimes of which there are about 8, boo!

In summary, one awful phone. Stay clear!

Bad points.
- Even though when it first came out it was very dear but the phone itself feels very cheap & plastic.
- the touch sensitive buttons can become very annoying.
- Marks, smudges & chips very easily.
- Oddly placed buttons.
- Usability is at a minimum for some people of the phone in general.

Good points
- Very good resolution screen.
- Very good features that work properly.
- Pocket friendly.
- Now has dropped in price massively.
- Quite nice design not thick & bulky.
- Reasonably good battery life.

I think this phones features are very good & great value for money but give this phone a second though about buying it because its usability is low & would be aggravating for some people.

I recently got rid of my Samsung E900 pink phone for a Sony Ericsson W580i pink. This phone is a great phone but when you haven't locked it & you put it in your pocket it starts ringing people which was annoying. The touch screen wasn't very aware I have to press most of the touch buttons about 7 times then it finally works. If you are a person who doesn't like fiddly things this phone isn't for you. Apart from that its ace.

I've had this phone for a year now & I'll admit it does look good, but I've had nothing but problems with it!

Firstly the touch buttons are very hard to get on with, sometimes they work with the slightest touch & others you have to stab really hard at them to get any response.

Also when I am in the menu, say in the file where my pictures are, it'll randomly decide to change to the messages menu, this is very annoying.

Then when I press the contacts button it sends me to my recent calls log.

Also the battery life is rubbish, as is the memory, it makes the phone unbearably slow even when it's not got that much stuff on it.

One really annoying thing is that if you send a text then decide you don't want to send it, no matter how hard you try you cannot press the cancel button, it simply does not work.

& just recently my left, right, up, down arrows have broke & it is now almost impossible to use. I can't wait to get the Sony Ericsson W580i. I wouldn't recommend the E900 to anyone!

I absolutely loved this phone, I thought it was fantastic. I've read back through some of these reviews & I didn't have a single issue, not even with the touch buttons. The only reason I don't use it any more is because it went through the wash. But it does still work. I just decided to go for something newer! If anyone wants a phone that's superb for texting & calling then this is the one for you! That's all I can say!

I personally loved this phone, & made the dreadful mistake of trading it in for the Nokia Music Xpress slider. Which disappointed me greatly, but that is for another review. The E900 is an excellent phone for design, it looks & feels beautiful, perhaps the screen could have been larger, but for the time it was made it was impressive enough. Its music ability is not great, but passable, the camera works well. The video capture could do with a little tweaking but otherwise this is a very rounded, reliable phone. I would recommend it to anyone who didn't want to spend a great amount of money on a phone, but still wanted a sleek, reliable, stylish gadget in 2008.

I have had this phone for exactly a year now & can't wait to get rid of it! It's the worst phone I have ever had & I have had some shoddy phones in the past.

Where do I start, the MP3 player, the sound quality is poor, I use my own earphones & it doesn't improve the sound. You can't pause a mix & go back to it after you've exited the player, so if I have a mix of an hour long on my phone, I only ever get to listen to the first half hour, as you can only fast forward at snail's pace.

The camera is rubbish.

The touch sensitive keys were, at first too sensitive & I now have to stab at them several times to get anything to happen.

After I had the phone for 6 months it developed a problem where it would randomly vibrate & then not stop until I disconnected the battery.

Now I've had it 12 months (& the warranty ran out like, last week) it's developed a strange problem when I try to type a text, it will let me type 3 characters, & then it freezes, crashed & re boots. So I am now unable to text.

If you're thinking of buying one, don't. I am so angry with Samsung for making this sub standard phone.

I had this phone for well over a year & was generally pleased. I unfortunately so am going to upgrade but will write a review for this first.

Pros.

- Excellent doing all the things you want a phone to do well, texting, calling etc. Can write texts quickly, no hanging about waiting for it to catch up with your fast typing.

- Generally fast, it didn't have problems viewing texts or navigating the menus (EXCEPT pictures).

- You CAN turn off all extra keypad tones I discovered after about six months of it making annoying noises, just press the down button on the side.

- I dropped it so many times & it didn't affect it AT ALL, it just carried on working perfectly.

- Data cable, can back up your numbers & texts on the computer.

- Touch sensitive was for the main keys, not the navigation or centre button or number pad. I didn't find using it a problem, in fact I liked it a lot. The buttons were always responsive & never failed on me. A strange sort of plus is that when you're sitting in the pub your friends can't nab your phone & look through your pictures & texts without accidentally hitting the back button because they are not adept at using it. Of course, once you got used to it was no problem to work, just required a little patience at first & it hardly took ANY time to work out. But.


A few niggles.

- If you have a big thumb though I imagine trying to navigate left right up & down you may hit the touch sensitive buttons by accident. This happened to me sometimes when using the camera.

- Camera not great, blurry, overexposed some of the colours were just plain weird. Maybe my settings were just not right.

- It does not allow a text message tone & vibrate at the same time, it's one or the other. & with calls it will vibrate first & THEN ring, again it won't do both at the same time.

- Battery would last well for 2 days on three bars but would then suddenly drop from 2 bars to 1 to nothing extremely quickly. If I saw it was on 2 bars in the morning I would charge it first before leaving the house because I know it wouldn't last the day.

- Alarm only had 5 snoozes before turning itself off (but that's only a problem if you're lazy like me), simple solution buy an alarm clock.

- It randomly started deleting my messages on its own (which weren't on the SIM) towards the end of my time with it, but I think that was something faulty as opposed to a usual problem. It only did that a couple of times.

Although these look like complaints it was generally a good phone that lasted me well. If you want a reliable phone that doesn't have software problems & can be dropped a lot I recommend this. If you want one with a great camera look elsewhere.

I have had this phone for a year now & overall it has been quite good!

There are some things that could be better. Like the MP3 player! If you have your music in folders on your memory card then you can't play them on the MP3 player! So you have 2 keep going back & choosing a different song after you have listened to one!

Also, I was not very pleased when I went to buy the phone as it said that it was pink but when you see the actual handset it is red! The touch sensitive keys are pretty annoying too. Like when you are in the middle of looking through songs or photos, if you by accident lightly touch the hang up button you are back to the main screen!

The camera is not that good either! Most 2MP cameras are quite clear but this 1 isn't! Apart from that the phone is not too bad! It doesn't break easily & it's easy to use! For my next phone I am going to try any LG though!

Hey, I've had this phone for about 6 months now & it's still working must be the longest I've made phone last it is just so indestructible.

It's been dropped in a lake & survived left a field over night in the rain & survived drop it in a puddle & it survived. Been smashed against a wall several times when I have been in a bad mood several times & survived but with sum damage to the internal & external screen but still survives & can be used perfectly well but over all I think it is indestructible because it survived me for 6 months & it still going & I normally go through at least 1 phone a month.

& for music it's amazing that's one of the main reasons I have it & if you get a good memory card for it it's amazing I have over 350 songs on it but the only problem is that you can't put them all on a playlist so you have to keep changing the playlist as to what you want but you can make up to 4 playlists on it.

& the camera on is superb never seen a phone with a better camera I would say it's as good as the Sony Ericsson k800i phone which has a amazing camera just like this phone.

But overall it's an amazing phone.

I bought this phone about 6 months ago & it is the worst phone I have ever had. The first thing that really annoys me is the touch screen. It is so sensitive, you can be typing a message or playing a game & you only have to slightly touch the pad (by accident) & it ends your text or game. I can't tell you how many times I have done this. The battery life is rubbish & it doesn't give you enough time if you're out & about to get home & recharge, it just dies on you. There are some features I don't like such as not automatically saving your text message every time, it only does it if you are replying to a message I think. It is the touch screen that I can't stand & gives me the most grief.

I had a touch screen Smartphone before the Sony & that used to dial itself in my pocket or bag so I vowed never to have a touch screen again but I decided to give the Samsung a go. It has put me off touch screens now which is a shame because the new ones look amazing & have cool features. After a few days of this phone I wanted to take it back & go back to my old Sony Ericsson w700i, unfortunately husbands, k810i which he says is brilliant.

This seemed a good phone at first (had it for 6 months) but by 3 months, the battery seemed faulty, it only lasted for 12 hours max even on standby. Despite the terrible battery life, I dropped it over a million times, it hasn't broke, but it has caused it to seize up & freeze occasionally. Going away, the 2 MEGAPIXEL CMOS camera takes good photos, that is if you can hold it perfectly still, slightest movement before it has finished capturing the picture & your picture is ruined! As time went on, the battery now decayed to 5 hours max in standby, wish I never bought it. The MP3 player is a waste of time as both the volume & the speaker is absolute rubbish. It also has some very rubbish games, so I have hacked it & put my own on.

I've had this phone for nearly 18 months & I am really impressed with it. I have dropped it loads yet it still works perfectly.

The camera isn't that good, turns things yellow sometimes if you turn a light on, but I can't complain really.

It's the best phone I've had in a while.

It does take a while to load sometimes though, like when viewing photos, it will take a while for the photo to come up, & the same with music, but that might just be mine.

I am hoping to get the Samsung f210 soon, but that's just because I get bored of my phones quite easily, normally they only last a year, this is the longest I've had a phone & I am SO pleased with it.

I would highly recommend it.

The touch screen took a lot of getting used to, as like everyone else, when in the middle of a text, it would wipe the whole message but I have had this phone for over 18 months & that no longer happens.

I love the fact that it is small & slick, so I can slip it in pockets without worrying about it poking out or being bulky & I have dropped it on wood flooring, pavements & it still works perfectly.

I am now moving on to the Samsung Soul, purely a need for change, but I have been very happy with this phone, it has certainly fulfilled my requirements.

For those having trouble changing ringtones, if you go into settings then sound settings then incoming calls. Highlight ringtone & press the square silver button in the middle of the touch screen it will bring up a menu. You need to choose default ringtones. Hope that helps.

I have had this phone now for nearly a year now & I've never really had any problems with it.

The phone has a modern & stylish design with a smooth slide up mechanism & it also has a high resolution screen so images & videos are very clear. The E900 also has reasonably sized buttons so it is a very easy phone to text on but if you send a text accidently then you cannot press cancel ( trust me I've tried ).

If you are looking for a phone that is stylish & easy to use then you should definitely buy the Samsung E900.

But one other thing when using the phone the touch pad may take a bit of getting used to as I always exit things by mistake but now I am okay don't do it as much but apart from that this phone is very worthwhile getting.

It's looks fabulous & is really clear & easy to use. It allows me to send & receive messages music, videos & pictures with no problems at all.

I have dropped it so many times & it still works & nothing has cracked, chipped or broken.

One bad point would be that the buttons don't work with gloves on. But then I didn't really expect that as they're heat sensitive & it can be worked around so you don't have to take your gloves off every time you use it!

I ordered this phone may last year off an Internet website for this due to the fact that the colour is known as pink. This may be a little tedious but it could be misleading.

The features at first seemed impressive & think the camera is quite good for a phone, but after a few drops turned the pictures a little blurry. The MP3 on this phone does not hold many songs but I brought a memory card, so this was not an issue, although the MP3 is not that loud. The games are very good on the phone as are the personalisations. Menus etc very pretty.

The most annoying thing however has to be the touch sensitive keys. I personally at first thought they made the phone very flashy & posh & loved the idea, & did end up getting used to them, but annoyingly (I don't know if this applies to everybody) when you press the middle button by accident, it automatically connects to the Internet resulting it the payer (me) getting charger a lot, as this happened frequently throughout the day, as did when I was writing a long text catching a touch sensitive key & deleting the hole message & sending me back to the wallpaper.

On the upside you can connect the phone to the computer but I found this a very big hassle to download the software. I got this phone stole yesterday & am looking at buying the Sony Ericsson cyber shot k800 or Sony Ericsson w810i which one is most recommendable?

Overall the Samsung e900 is a good looking phone but fiddly to use, with a fairly good camera & limited MP3.

To sum things up quickly this phone is great to look at, has a OK camera, the MP3 is good & the slide & menus are easy to navigate around.

The thing that's really lets the phone down are the sensitive pads around the menu buttons. As I am a guy with big fingers it's so easy to accidently rub over the sensitive back button when you're halfway using a feature which obviously sends you back to the wallpaper.

I think this phone looks nice especially the pink colour, the features are pretty average except for the fact that this phone is touch sensitive which was quiet annoying at the beginning but when you get used to it it's not so bad. & the camera quality is really rubbish. But I like the fact that to choose options to get to another feature you can type in a number to get you there. Which is easy. I had the w810i before the E900 & I would defiantly recommend the Sony Ericsson's phones rather than the Samsung phones. I am getting an upgrade now on the w890i because I'd rather have a Sony Ericsson phone. But in general this phone is OK.

It's a great little phone for everyday use, I've had it for about 18 months now & never had one problem, & it's been run over, dropped & danced on & generally abused, but still works perfectly. Everyone is making a big fuss of how annoying the touch buttons are, but seriously, after about a week of getting used to it & learning how to brush them instead of hitting them like a real button, I have never noticed them as any different. Unless you are particularly heavy handed it becomes quick & easy to do anything.

The camera is fine, when I got it 2MP was fantastic but that's been surpassed now, but either way it is fine for general daytime snapping, but as someone said, pictures can blur very easily.

One downside to the whole phone, the default alarm. It's so annoying I want to hang myself first thing in the morning. Not a good way to start the day ha ha.

It's a great little phone for calls & text, & the odd photo, & they are dead cheap anywhere you look, so I highly recommend it.

This phone is a good looking phone & I don't have many problems with it but what gets me is that the touch screen won't work if your using gloves & when your charging it the screen stays on & gets warm (does this happen to yours or is it just mine) but overall it's a great phone well worth the money.

Well I have had this phone for a year now & I have to say honestly that I hate it. When I first saw this I thought yeah nice phone so got one. The touch keypad is a nightmare, the slightest touch & you end up back at your wallpaper that drives me nuts. The slide itself is fine, no probs. The keypad started off OK but now the buttons have to b pressed half a dozen times to get a letter up when sending a text. I found the paint comes off the front really easy to instead of being pink it's not. Overall for Samsung this is rubbish. I had a Nokia 6230 before this an I think will stick with a Nokia for my next phone.

Hey, I just got this phone & I am finding it pretty easy to get use to apart from when your use another phone that isn't touch screen. All my life I have had Samsungs but I think this is one of the best but one disadvantage is when your Bluetooth is in use you can't use your music player, whereas on a Samsung D600 you can also on the alarm you cannot have your own music to awake you, you have to have the defaulted songs.

I Like the Phone & Find It Really Easy To Use. The Touch Screen Takes Getting Used To. The Only Thing Which Gets Me Is When I Slide My Phone Down I Would Expect the Phone Screen To Go Black, This Does This Happen But Very Rarely. Normally the Wallpaper Will Dim Out & You Can Still See the Background. I Was Wondering If This Just Happened To Mine Or Others As well.

I had this phone for Valentine's day last year & despite me getting rid of it 6 months later, I wish I had of kept it. I had 3 of these phones, all of which broke or went dodgy in one way or another. Apparntly, these models were always being returned as the software had flaws in it. I had the last one repaired & afterwards it worked perfectly, although I gave it to my mum because at that point my experience with this phone was soured & had bought a new one. I found the touch keys fine, once you take the time to get used to them. The screen was bright & I have had great difficulty in trying to find a 2MP camera in another phone to match the quality of the photos the e900 produced. I have a ted baker phone now & the camera is nothing in comparison to the e900. As for the photos blurring, I found that it never happened. The graphics on the phone were nice & bright & it had lot of storage, with room for an sd card. The only thing I would say about it is that the phone was slow to load pictures & stuff, but the software update sorted it out. & the themes on it could have been a bit more imaginative. But apart from that, I don't think you could find a better camera on a phone for the same price. If you are thinking of buying it, I would! Just not off eBay in case anything did go wrong.

I have had this phone for about 2 months I have had no problems so far apart from if you pin lock it. It is hard to figure out the PUK code so I suggest you don't put a pin lock on there is also quite a lot of memory there is also a memory card slot so there is expandable memory. The buttons are quite sensitive but when you ring or pick up your phone to talk to someone they aren't available so there are no problems about hanging up on someone accidently.

The Samsung e900 is a really good phone so I would recommend it to anyone!

I have always loved Samsung. They do make some of the best & easiest phones to use.

& this one in particular I love. But I am bored with it. The design I think could have been better. It's a bit too fidgety to work with. The slide function I don't like on this particular mobile. On others I have had, not a problem, but this is a bit. Well, clunky.

My other concerns are what others have said & it goes on the camera. Yes, when you take a photo. You have to take it of a wax work because one slight movement & the whole picture are ruined. The other thing is the fact that it takes in too much light & makes all photos far too bright.

The touch screen is annoying sometimes but it does take patience & time to get used to.

I've had this phone for over a year now & it's virtually unusable.

The touch sensitive feature over rides EVERYTHING to the point of silliness. Spend two minutes composing a text? Get five minutes into your favourite game? No problem! Just accidentally brush against the touch sensitive panel & hey presto! Everything is gone.

I have two months left until my next free upgrade. The moment I do, this thing gets stamped on.

Usability, well the touch buttons obviously are very sensitive but I suppose you get used to it because well you get used to it after a while & well you buy the phone knowing about the touch buttons so don't complain about it because you know what you got into hah.

Overall pretty hot phone, I recommend.

I have had this phone for nearly a year now & I think it is really good. I have never had any problems with it. I have got the pink one, well it isn't really pink, it's more red. That's one bad thing. The touch sensors are just right, I don't think they are too sensitive or anything. Also there is only a black & white skin design, not any themes. The memory is OK, & so is the MP3.

Some good things about it are it looks quite good & is easy to use. You don't need to read the instructions at all. I think if you are thinking about buying this phone it is definitely worth it! On most sites it's a really good price too!

I have had the phone for like half a year now. Here are the good points.
- Large screen.
- Battery lasts quite long.
- Vivid view of messages meaning certain words are displayed as symbols which is cool.

Bad points (more than good).
- Touch is too sensitive!
- Cannot be sued when you are wearing gloves which is all of winter!
- Camera is too sensitive with movement meaning if you breath when using it then it goes blurry!
- Cannot receive images from mobiles with a better camera but other makes with a 2 megapixel camera.
- Does not give enough settings to fully customize the phone.
- Does not save sent messages unless you tell it to which I didn't know until I looked it up on the Internet.

Do not buy unless you are on a budget & want a reasonable phone for 60 quid!

Good points,
- Looks nice.
- Plays music pretty well.
- Has a good light to use as a torch.
- Good UI.
- Small & compact.

Bad Points,
- the screen stays lit when it's on charge & it cannot be turned off. For the first few days it's very annoying but there is an effective solution, turn it on its front at night!
- Texting is OK but the phone doesn't store sent messages automatically. When you send a message you need to click 'send & save' as opposed to just send. It does store some messages automatically but not all. It's kind of hit & miss with that one. The phone can only hold 190 messages.
- Talking, the screen stays lit when you're talking so it does feel a bit hot against the ear after 2 hours on the phone.
- Ringtones, I never use them but you can't automatically store ringtones which are songs on your phone.

This Phone Is Overall Very Good.

The Downsides Are the Touchscreen Buttons, Which Are Very Sensitive. Once You Get Use To Them, They're OK But When Your Finger Slips They Can Be Very Annoying. The Camera Was OK When I Bought It But Has Gone Downhill From There & Is Now Very Blurry.

The Flash Is Good As A Torch, But Makes No Difference When Taking Photos. The Music Player Is Good.

The Major Up Side To This Phone Is That It's Basically Indestructible. Mines Been Dropped In the Bath, Had Chewing Gum Melted In It & Has Been Dropped More Times Than I Can Count & Still Works Fine, Even If It Does Have the Odd Scratch. The Battery Was Very Good For the First Few Months, But Now Runs Out Quite Quickly.

Without A Memory Card the Phone Holds Quite A Few Songs, Photos & Videos.

Overall This Phone Is Just Above Average, I Would recommend It To You If You Are Looking For A General Phone For Everyday Use, But Wouldn't recommend It If You Are Looking For Something Special.

This is a great looking phone & good value for money. I got mine for about 40/50 pounds. I got it as a replacement for my e370 which after a spin in the wash was unusable. Any way as I said it look great & is good value for money. With the rage about the touch sensitive screen it is completely untrue, yes it takes a bit of getting use to but after that it's fine. A few problems though. Even so much as accidentally touch the screen & your calling someone (normally the person at the top of your phone book) & move the screen an inch when taking a photo & you end up with a picture of a big blur. It also gets dirty quite easily & it really gets on my nerves that you can't end a call without sliding the phone down. But overall it is a good phone for a first by or if you need a phone but don't have much money, but now I do I am thinking of changing to the LG viewty with a much better camera.

The touch buttons are very sensitive & very slow. Obviously I expected them to be sensitive but for instance I press the back button once & it goes back about 5 times.

The camera is poor. The slide part of the phone became very loose just months after buying it.

Had this phone for 18 months & never had any problems with it (same with all the Samsungs I've had). Photos take a while to load but that's a minor niggle. My free upgrade is due now & will probably get another E900, as mine spends a lot in my overall pocket & is a bit worse for wear. If you're getting one for crimbo you won't be disappointed.

THIS PHONE IS rubbish! I have had it about 11 months & it's a complete wreck I dropped it on my living room carpet & the screen broke!

About 2 days ago my touch buttons stopped working you can't touch them or anything because they just stopped working the screen goes white & blank all the time & the battery is rubbish it's the worst phone I have ever had its good for the first 2 months after you got used to the touch screen but then it breaks it scratches very easily if I was you I wouldn't get it at all!

IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF the MARKET IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!

I have had this phone for just under 12 months & over the past week the buttons started to go dodgy on the touch sensor bit. Now they don't work at all I can't go on menu or anything the only thing I can do now is answer calls because all the buttons have stopped working.

It's a good phone & it's smart but it freezes a lot & the camera isn't that good. If someone asked me 6 months ago whether they should get it or not I would of said yeah but now I would say no so many problems occur with this phone.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else's but it also keeps deleting everything off my memory card I would be on music but then go off to send a text & when I go back on to the memory card there's nothing on there.

Will someone please write back & say whether they have the same problems I have please thankyou.xxx

I am getting this phone for Christmas & all the people who are saying that the phone is rubbish. Just think you probably don't even have the phone. So anyway I just wanted to know can you make a ring tone you have downloaded, your tone? Because people have been saying that you can't have your own ring tone & I am getting put off about it. But I still think it's the phone is smart. Let's hope that this phone is cool when it comes for Christmas.

What is better the LG Chocolate Pink Phone or the E900? From Ashleigh.

I've always been a Samsung fan & moving from the E720 to the E900 was no mistake. The touch screen can be a bit annoying at first, but you get used to it after about a day. The only fault I would have would be when you call someone by accident, because it locks automatically, you have to keep unlocking the keypad to unlock it. Can be quite embarrassing. I've just had to send the phone back because of a fault of my own (drunk, dropped it & it wouldn't charge & I dropped it a good few times) really had no problems with it at all. Everything is easy to use & easy to find, if anyone can't use it, read the blooming instructions. The camera is only a 2MP, which was good around this time last year, so was happy enough with it, now looking to move onto my new G600!

I have had this phone for about a year & a half now. I haven't had too many problems it just takes time to get use to the touch. Sometimes it can get annoying though because when your texting you end up ringing the person instead & when you're talking on the phone you could easily hang up on the person. Also a few times when I turn on my phone & it's on silent, it would start to vibrate & I can't get it to stop until I put it to sound again. The pictures & videos are good, but you might need to buy a memory card as it doesn't hold a lot. Apart from this the phones great & has done me a good while!

I have had this phone for almost a year now & I have not run into any problems. I admit that when I first bought the phone, the touch screen was hard to use & a bit annoying but I soon got the hang of it. I only gave features 80% because the camera can be a bit blurry if you don't have dead still hands & also the flash is useless in darker surroundings. In spite of this the video recorder works very well. If you were to buy this phone I recommend buying a memory card as it can only hold about 100 pictures & a few videos. Overall it's a very pleasing phone, had no problems & intend to keep it another year.

On my present contract (runs out on 3rd dec. New phone. Yippee) I have been using a d900. Two weeks ago I cracked the screen, so had to change the phone. My daughter had an e900 with her contract but is using a different phone. So rather than be without a phone I used the e900. Three days usage made my mind up, this phone is a totally useless piece of rubbish. I swapped with my girlfriend (a Nokia) until tomorrow & she's has been pestering me to take this thing back ever since. My daughter hated it, my girlfriend hates it & I hate it.

Been reading these reviews & before today I was split between the Nokia n95 (bad battery issues) & the Samsung g800. Now I don't know what to go for. Any ideas?

I had an 18 month contract with this phone, & despite the fact that it took a lot longer to get used to than most, as the touch buttons can get annoying, I really loved it. I found it really easy to text with & the Bluetooth connection was very good.

However after 12 months it broke, not through any fault of my own as I looked after it incredibly well, but the screen kept going white & although I could call people if I knew the number of by heart & I could receive calls I just couldn't see what I was doing on the screen. I was really disappointed because up to this point I had loved the phone.

My other one thing that was a real pain was that I had to keep my hand really still when taking a picture otherwise it would go fuzzy, not easy when you have shaky hands! However I would probably still recommend this phone to someone who wants a phone that looks really good, but is easy to use!

Persuaded into upgrading to the E900 from my trusty D600. Chap in the phone shop promised it was exactly the same phone but in a different cover plus snazzy touch controls. I am counting the hours until I can throw it away as also persuaded to an 18 month contract in comparison with my previous 12 month contract. I feel I've been conned. I've called my provider to complain but been told as I've signed up there is no change of handset until at least 9 months of the contract is up, April 08! I asked if I could go downgrade to a D600. (I gave my old handset away to husband who keeps saying do I want is back but I'd feel kind of bad as he hasn't had a camera phone before & we have a new grandchild). Provider says cannot downgrade. Other providers happy to give me a sim free handset but why should I have to put my hand in my own pocket to compensate for a duff handset where you can phone the last person called. Try accidentally calling your new driving instructor at two in the morning & you'll find that closing the slide doesn't cut off the call nearly early enough!

The Samsung e900 is a good phone. It can be annoying at times when you spend ages clicking buttons to get somewhere then you accidentally click the cancel button & you go back to the home page. Most the things on this phone are excellent. The camera is 2 mp but does have a 3 second shutter lag which if you don't hold the phone straight causes pictures to be blurry. The MP3 player is great quality & the phone comes with earphones. The memory is really good to but to use this phone as a real MP3 you would have to buy a memory card (micro SD). The memory capacity is 80 mb which is alright. To any new people for phones I would recommend this phone.

Always use this site so thought it time I contribute. Coming to the end of an 18 month contract on this phone & all in all I am very satisfied. Very sleek & stylish & I am having trouble finding a phone to upgrade to that is as small & looks as cool. Just upgraded the girlfriend to the G600 which she's happy with but it is more chunky than mine & doesn't do a whole lot more. I tend to use a phone for the basics but like to know it's got gadgets & this phone fits the bill. I am left handed so the touch screen cancel button hasn't bothered me but I can understand the criticism & it would drive me through the roof as I've had it happen to me when I've been texting right handed. As for the phone getting scratched, come on, all these smart looking phones get destroyed in pockets & bags next to keys & what not. I think mines held up very well as I take no precautions & as for dropping it & the screen breaking, try dropping your home computer, I bet the same will happen! If you want sleek & stylish it comes with a price & that's taking care of it. I can't comment of any software problems as it's been good as gold & battery life is great. I tend to avoid new phones until they've had the teething errors ironed out as having done security work for a certain phone manufacturer I know how much pressure they are under to get phones on the market despite still full of software errors.

I have had the Samsung E900 for a while now & although at first it is a pain to get used to, the touch screen I found that it was easy to use & a great stylish looking phone. However I did find that when using the Internet that it would turn off for no reason & loading web pages could take ages.

The camera is also a bit of a letdown as the images are often grainy even in superfine mode. A 3MP or even 5MP camera would make this model great.

You'd be better off buying the new g600 or the g800 great little phones, regards Barry.

Yes, it's me again Joe I can only say one thing about this telephone it is well & truly RUBBISH! I have now had it for a few weeks now & yes more problems.

I finally managed to find someone that would fix my screen for me okay, the price was a bit more than I expected but okay I can afford a few pounds, after I got it fixed I checked my credit it said how much I expected it to say the next day I checked it again to see if I could call a mate from work it had been calling people without me even knowing because of the touch screen!

I tried to take a picture of something for work I took the picture & it was fine until I looked at it to see how it came out, it had pink, green & blue lines over it & was fuzzy.

If you do decide to buy the E900 whatever you do, do not put it in your pocket because on my way to work, I put it in my pocket when I got to work I had to ring someone & found out that it deleted at least 5 people off of my contacts!

WHATEVER PHONE THAT YOU BUY DO NOT BUY the SAMSUNG E900!

I have had this phone for about 4 months now due to having the LG chocolate that broke on me where the screen kept going white, the E900 compared to the LG chocolate is brilliant, there are a few downside's you only get a choice of 10 polyphonic ringtones to have as your message tone you can't have real tunes, also I find the cancel touch screen button a pain because many a times I have cancelled messages while still writing them. Also you only get two games you can fully play the others you have to pay for after you complete the first level which is a bit pointless. But the main problem I have is that in the past month or so it keeps stopping whatever I am doing & saying insert sim mostly when it's on charge so every time I have to remove the battery & reinsert the sim, next Thursday my 18 month contract runs out I want to upgrade to a Sony Ericsson W910i shake control, but I don't know because after reading some of the reviews I don't know whether or not I like the sound of it.

My main problem with it is that the numbers 7, 8 & 9 just stop working & I have to switch off my phone a couple of times, sent it away to be repaired & it is still having the same problems. Getting annoyed at trying to text without using the letters p-z.

I've had the phone since April, after upgrading from a D500 & I have to say, the D500, was probably better. Fair enough the E900, is a good looking phone, it's not very robust. My E900 is on Virgin Mobile.

A couple of months after getting it, I accidentally dropped it on to a table & the screen messed up, I took it back to Virgin Mobile & they replaced it within 24 hours & then just today, it was in my pocket, all fine, no problems, then I took it out of my pocket to check the time again & I find that the screen is messed up again, so, off to get it changed again tomorrow. The only problem is I lose all of my music, videos, & pictures when it gets replaced. I think I'll go for one more E900 (maybe third time lucky) & if it happens again, look at other models & makes.

If you're careful with it, it's a really good phone & I can't fault the memory. If your careful, I don't see why you should have any problems.

My only problem with the phone was how easy it scratched on the back & front & I advise anyone who gets this phone in the future to get a phone sock or something just to keep it safe. I am currently looking at another phone & I simply can't find any phone on the market in a reasonable price range with the same amount of memory it is one of Samsung's most fantastic phones I have seen in ages.

I really liked this phone, but now I am absolutely fed up with it! I am on my third one now & this one had just started to go mad as well! All the buttons, apart from the touch ones now don't work & the menu keeps flickering form one screen to the next. The last two had problems with switching on & off, not good when you're in hospital like I was & I couldn't turn it off. The speed dial has never worked on them. The man in O2 told me there were problems with a lot of these phones but I decided to try again with the 3rd. I have now had this for 7 months & am going to take this back tomorrow to swap it for something else. I give up! I don't know why they don't recall the rubbish ones.

Apart from that, I will be sad to see it because it is a good phone. The touch buttons are fine when you get used to them. If your going to buy this phone all I would say is make sure you buy it from a shop because if it goes wrong you need somewhere to take it back to!

Hi I bought this phone back in March 2007, I had no problems with it up until this week. It is only 7 months old so I had expected it to last a bit longer than it did. The battery had to be recharged every 6 hrs & I couldn't turn it completely off. I have taken it back to where I bought it & waiting for it to be looked at & fixed. I can honestly say that it was the best one I have had but due to the fault I am disappointed with it now.

This phone is terrible, will scratch at the slightest thing touching it & the touch screen, you will NEVER get used to them, no matter what anyone says! They are SO very sensitive that you'll be in the middle of one thing then all of a sudden something completely different will flash up on your screen - anyone thinking of buying this phone - think again DO NOT BUY IT, YOU'LL BE WASTING EITHER YOUR MONEY OR A FREE UPGRADE!

Had this phone nearly a year now & have not really been impressed. Touch sensitive keys will drive you mad unless you have baby sized fingers. Phone has an annoying habit of unlocking itself & switching off in my pocket. Just ordered another Sony Ericsson can't wait for it to arrive.

I have had this phone for almost a year now & can find almost no problems with it whosoever. Yes the touch buttons can be a little annoying (especially when in the middle of a text) but after a bit of practice you get used to it. I don't know how many times I have accidentally dropped it or splashed it with water & it still works brilliantly (expect from a few tiny scratches from it being dropped, but all phones do this at some time or other).

Honestly though, if you are thinking of getting a new phone with all of the gadgets but don't want to pay over the top prices then this is the phone for you. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

Anybody who complains about this phone either doesn't know how to use it, is very impatient, or just had bad luck. I've owned this phone for over a year & it still is doing a great job, despite the fact that it fell of a table, bed, desk numerous times. Great phone. OK battery life is not that great, but what do you expect from such a slim battery. The camera could have been more responsive but then again, IT'S A PHONE, NOT A DIGITAL CAMERA. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that you can't add games from your computer. Even the touch sensitive pads don't bother me, the first week it was getting used to but after that it was smooth sailing.

Anyone who wants to buy a E900, do so.

Fine phone & for those of you who say you can't disable WAP. Well, you can! Go to browser. Select. Then browser settings. Select, use 'options' to enter the current selected setting, then select 'edit' & delete the current profile name & URL settings. It reverts to blank & no name.

Then save & go back to main menu.

Press the middle button & it will say 'check your wap profile' Hey presto. No more annoying wap connections.

BTW. Who on earth thought wap on a phone was a good idea? Idiot!

I have had this phone for almost a year now & I had no problems without at all, at first the touchscreen was enjoying but after a bit you get used to it. For me the memory wasn't quite enough but then I bought a memory card. I am gutted now because I had it in black because that was the only colour available when I had it but now you can have it in gold, silver & pink as swell witch rules! Some people say that it scratches easily but if you take care of it will be fine my friend had it for a while & she scratched it but I only scratched around twice in a year! I am due to get a new phone now as I had this phone on contract & its running out next month & I am thinking about getting the Samsung u600 as it looks similar to the e900 though id BE SAD TO SEE IT GO!

BEST PHONE I have EVER HAD (& I have had a lot of phones) I recommend IT TO anyone!

I think this phone is great! Yeah it can be annoying but I mean if you're complaining about the bad quality music or the annoyance of the camera go buy & ipod & a proper digital camera! This is a phone not ipods & cameras!

Me I find it great it does everything I need it to & it is the best phone I have had! & trust me I have had some good phones!

I love the amount of storage space! & plus you can add to it with an SD card if you don't like it! But I LOVE it!

It is the best phone in the world!

I haven't had any problems apart from one or two scratches! So if you're having problems & needing to get a new one, look after it better!

I used to have this phone until I broke it. I spilled a drink all over the key pad. If you do this & have no insurance you can't scam the phone shop because on Samsungs the battery has a white strip which changes colour when it's got wet but while I had this phone working it was a very good phone & would recommend it. I am thinking of purchasing the J600 because it looks near enough identical to the e900 as I am having to use my old Sony Ericsson w300i because I broke my Samsung.

I think this phone is the best I have ever owned very easy to use for a touch screen but you get used to it. The only bad thing about it is it scratches so easily beware if you drop your phone a lot or need a hard wearing phone this isn't it because if you but it in a pocket with keys in it won't be the same phone again but other than that great memory without the memory card great camera & all good rounder if it didn't scratch a lot would be the best phone ever.

I have had this phone for about 9 months, there are good & negative points to this phone, more good points

The good points are -
- the music quality is excellent, with 3D surround sound (better music players than the latest phones today).
- It has 80 Mb of internal memory (enough for about 14 songs) & it can be expanded to 2GB with a micro SD card which you can buy of eBay for under £15.
- It has a good quality camera (2 mega pixel) with flash.
- Picture text (words in text show up as pictures).
- You can view all office documents & you can print them wirelessly.
- It has EDGE technology.

The bad points are -
- There are only two themes (black & white) & you can't put any more on using USB.
- When you record a video it stops when the internal memory is full even if you have lots of external memory.
- When texting if you catch the Touchpad close button is goes of which is annoying at times.
- the back when not taken care of can get scratched easily.

BEFORE you buy this phone you must have -
- PATIENTS, the touchpad is sometimes annoying.
-Medium to small fingers as I do have large hands I catch the touchpad quite often.

The Samsung E900 is a very good looking phone - however try to use it & you will want to smash it against a wall. The touch sensitive screen had you moving to menus you just don't want to access.

Two major issues: having bought a magnetic case I found that the magnetic interferes with answering the call, when you go to pull the phone out of the case the call is rejected. I now have problems with the camera, a CCD (?) problem that some digital camera suffer from, need to now return & ask for a replacement.

OK so I got this phone last year for my birthday & I thought this phone is amazing! Yes I still think this but it's not as good as I thought it was going to be. First you can't really have phone charms because it'll just end up scratching the screen which isn't scratch resistant unlike the LG chocolate. You can't have music that you have downloaded as your alarm - I am talking about songs in MP3 format. So basically you have to stick with ringtones they have given you or pay to download some. The touch screen thing takes a while to get used to, I mean I am looking through texts that I have received & all o a sudden I am ringing the person & sometimes it just happens & I don't even know. I would recommend this phone if you want style, it's great to text with & doesn't take too long to get used to.

Okay, so I've had this phone since May 2007 & use it every day, so I know a bit about it. It's great if you want to look good, but that isn't what's important to me in a mobile.

The bad points are:

- No matter how much people say you get used to the touch sensitivity, it does get easier to use but the number of times I've wanted to throw the phone out of the window because it's deleted my entire message, called someone or cost me money by entering my browser against my will.

- It has some very annoying sounds which you simply cannot get rid of. Firstly, if it doesn't want you to do something (e.g. Send a message with no signal) it makes a very irritating noise. Also, if you turn it off silent, it makes a very loud, very conspicuous melody. To be honest, these things drive me mad!

- It doesn't save your messages automatically in an outbox - not important to some people, but it gets on my nerves a bit.

- You can't have recordings or mp3s as your alarm or message tone.

It does have some good points, though:

- Its camera & MP3 player are very good.

- It's a great shape, size & has a great feel.

I am just a bit disappointed, partially because I only got it because my old Samsung e350 (loved it! ) broke & I was dead excited then let down, & partially because I am desperate to get a new, more usable phone, when I should really be still enjoying my fairly new phone. The design & features are great, but usability is more important & sadly the touch sensitive really lowers that in the e900.

Good luck buyers! Hope you find your perfect phone.

I bought this phone on a pay as you go from Virgin mobile I thought it was an OK phone but too sensitive for my liking as when reading text messages you would find that you are calling the person who had sent you the text message. The PC studio stopped working so to take photos off my phone was impossible, I called the customer services at Samsung about the fault & they said it was probably my PC that was at fault. Virgin replaced this handset twice for me & I was completely unsatisfied about it. But all in all a lovely sleek phone for anyone.

I work at a stables & so you think it will be easily broken - think again, I have dropped it on concrete, down the stairs & I have left it under sprinklers for a good half hour, it still works perfectly I love it! It's water resistance if you take it apart & leave it.

If you have problems with the touch screen then the phone is not for you & if you have big fingers again it's not for you. I am a younger mobile phone user & have little hands! So I love my phone & recommend it to everyone. Thanks.

Anyone on here saying this is the best phone they ever had has either only had it for 5 minutes or they work for Samsung marketing. There is no doubt this is the finest looking small phone on the market, (or it was when I bought it) but the user interface, the touch screen, the text dictionary, the software, the menus are all either awfully designed, or have annoying little quirks that just make you wonder who tested these things.

The worst problem is the touch sensitive buttons which will have you navigating all over the place randomly & will no doubt cause you to lose text messages & hang up on people by accident.

The sound quality of the MP3 player is EXCELLENT, but it is rendered completely useless by an impossible user interface & the fact that you can only set up 4 playlists of 30 songs maximum & that's if you can work out the file system which means you have to bulk all the songs together in one folder with no conceivable way of organising them.

The camera is pretty decent, although very sensitive to movement, but this is usually the way with mobile phone cameras. Overall though I've taken some really good shots, with a steady hand.

If you want a phone that fits in your pocket & you don't do much texting & don't want to make use of any of the (poorly implemented) features, then this is fine. Otherwise look elsewhere, but there's not much out there that looks as good as this phone.

Let's hope Nokia get their act together soon & bring out some decent phones again, as they, without compare, give the best user experience.

Most of all though, the incoming call volume is rubbish - don't like the way it vibrates for about 10/15 seconds then starts ringing - missed several calls already because of this, plus the volume at its loudest isn't that good.

Had this phone for a LONG 18 month contract & got out of it early & as soon as I could because it really did annoy me. Spent some time reading the reviews & whilst I do agree it has got some good points I.e. Camera, video & good battery life with regards to actual usability IT DID MY HEAD IN. I was frequently swearing at it & in the end just gave up on some texts because it was just too much of a bother when those touch sensitive keys kicked in out of nowhere & lost my text. The touch sensitive keys were a good idea in theory but really annoyed me as I just seemed to lean my fingers to the right all the time.

I do not really get the whole trend towards slide phones so that is obviously just my own personal preference. I have never been so frustrated by a phone & I have owned quite a few. I now have a Motorola RAZR V8 & love it & will never change. I really would say do not get this phone. There are good points but surely the most important thing is usability & this phone failed badly for me.

This phone is the easiest phone to learn to use the touchscreen is a doddle. The sound Quality & Volume outdoes the D600e completely which is surprising as the D600e has 2 speakers & the E900 has only 1 with its own internal memory I got up to 23 MP3 songs that's full songs not clips of songs. I listen to it when I walk my dog around the local lake & I find the batteries have only gone down 1 mark & that's through the phones speaker not headphones. The camera is as good as the LG Shine camera phone It even caught my dog when he had decided to move mid shot without blurring the picture the Flash can also double as a handy Torch If you press & hold the volume up button on the left hand side of the phone My only gripes are no radio & no MP3 Alarm sounds which the D600e can do.

Also it does not recharge the phone when attached via USB to a PC which the D600e does.

I've had this phone for about 6 months now. It's my second e900, since the first one had a button problem on #7. I have to say, if you're thinking of buying this phone, GET IT. Everyone in my family has one, & all of them are happy with it. The touch sensitive keys aren't bad. Seriously, you get so used to them that when you go to a regular phone, you'll wonder why it's not responding before you realize it's not touch sensitive. I love the feature now & am thinking of buying my boyfriend the u600 or u700. The camera's great but easily gets blurry if you move. The only time the touch sensitive keys gets on my nerves is when I am trying to take a picture of myself & a friend. You have to press the center button without touching the soft keys. Which can be tricky. But I love the fact that I could put in any song, of any length, to be my ringtone. The alarm is great, since it goes off every morning without having to set it every night. I wish, though, there'd be different alarm options, since after a while, the tone gets CRAZY annoying (which might be good if you really do need to wake up at that time). Anyway, I love this phone. I pretty much laughed at most of the negative reviews & some confused me, since I've never had those problems. That's why I am afraid of reading reviews of the u600 & u700. That I might miss out by not buying the phone because of some people's negative comments.

Right then, I'd just like to say, that the people who have said that this phone is awful, haven't even given it a chance, & if you do give this phone a chance, it is amazing.

Good points: camera is awesome! It looks better than my digital camera & works better sometimes & my digital camera is meant to be better! The music player is good when I am out & I want to listen to music without putting annoying headphones in like an ipod. Some of the games are pretty good. The video is awesome too it seems to last forever which is dead good for me! :D Also the looks of this phone look so. Mysterious & when you slide it up & end a call by sliding it down. You just feel so KWL. Another great feature of it, is the Samsung PC studio that comes with it. It is very confusing to start with when you have to install it on to your computer & I can imagine people with a slow computer ripping their hair out, but once it is on there is it amazingly easy to use! :O

Bad points: on some songs the speaker does not sound good loud. THAT IS ALL :)

Thank you & that was a very truthful review & can I just say. The touch sensitive buttons are not a problem!

I do not have fat thumbs, first of all but still everytime I go on the menu or folders I almost always press the cancel button, I think they should have put it o the left side. But then that wouldn't be fair to left handed people. I suppose I'll have to practice that. Anyway I really like the design & the camera is really good. But there are some problems with stuff like the themes. I tried to put on some themes which my sister sent me & they wouldn't work, & the rest of the themes are kind of. Bad. Just plain black or white. Also, there's no screensaver, which isn't so bad, & you can't choose your own message alerts, which is extremely irritating as the default ones are deafening & really boring.

I really like the sliding thing, which is very useful in case your phone calls someone by accident. When you slide it down, the phone automatically locks, & you can unlock it either by pressing the power button, or just the middle button. Sorry about lack of technical language.

Great phone, cheap (compared to modern prices), needs some getting used to.

My contract is expiring, hurrah! I can now get a new phone.

I fell for the slick advertising of this phone & my goodness it is the most awful phone I have ever used. Even the 'no thrills' £10 phones are better. It might look good but that is all it does, the designers have completely missed a trick here, a phone needs to be usable, but this one isn't.

The soft keys are too sensitive I have lost soooo much time re-entering text messages & trying to get around the menu without exiting the application or the phone deciding that I should be in another screen entirely.

STYLE IS NOT ENOUGH WHEN THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE.

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

Hey I am Fayee from last night telling you about my phone problems LOL. Well I got the E900 today & all you people out there saying its rubbish well it's not! It's the best phone I'v ever had, the cameras amazing, sound, messaging, video & music are good.

It also has a USB connection to your PC which you can download pictures previously taken from your phone & music from your p.c.

It's all good to be honest. I haven't really explored it yet so I better stop typing & start exploring.

I highly recommend this phone.

Great phone.

Have no problems at all with the touch sensitive keys, quality of the camera is great. The alarm clock is fine, option of 'off' or 'snooze' as with all phones.

Had no problems with the screen & no scratches so far, touch sensitive keys lock when making a call & when the phone is idle so no danger of making unnecessary calls, after being fully charged phones lasts for days.

Overall very happy & would recommend.

Hi all. My previous phone the new fly phone wouldn't charge up after a month. Just stayed blank. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants to buy it. I might sound a bit snotty but the camera's not much.

Messaging OK. Style nice. Just not all that if you get me, so I decided to take it back today & they said I'd get to pick another phone, so as I was scanning through them. I thought I couldn't just pick a new phone in 2 minutes so I decided to go home & think about it. & I came to a decision with the sleek, adorable style. By the way we're still talking about a phone not a baby here lol. I fell in love with it from most of the reviews I reckon it's a good phone, well it better be because I am getting it tomorrow.

The Samsung e900 is one of the best phones I have ever had. The looks of the phone is just to die for. It has a fantastic sliding mechanism & has a stylish touch screen. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants a stylish & good phone. The only thing about the e900 is that the touch screen is hard to get used to otherwise I would give it 9 out of 10.

Had the phone for about a year now & it has been OK, battery life is great, features are perfectly adequate, looks nice too. Build quality is pretty top notch.

Bad points are, those touch sensitive buttons, infuriating when you lose a long text message. The memory card access time, I've never come across anything as slow. Push the up button once & you have to wait about 5 seconds before anything happens & if you get a little frustrated & push button may times until it reacts then you have to wait even longer while it scrolls through loads of times.

So if you have the patience, a great phone!

I LOVED this phone. In total I have had 14 phones in the last 7 years, & I thought the E900 to be one of the best phones I have ever had. But that was past tense because my Samsung E900 is currently broken.

I received the phone at Christmas, & 6 months later the screen broke. All I did was put the phone in the front pocket of my jeans & sit through a half hour car journey. No pressure was applied to the phone, but when I took it out of my pocket there was a black smudge across the screen & a visible crack (not a physical external crack) seemingly inside the screen. Now the smudge is replaced by lines, & half the screen is bleached white.

I am unable to use my phone, & it will cost me £70 to fix. This is the FIRST time this has EVER happened to me with a phone, & with the amount of people I know who this has also happened to I believe it to be a fault with the phone Samsung should warn people about.

Only get the E900 if you are someone who changes phones regularly. It is a beautiful phone, & once you get used to the touch sensitive buttons it has many good security features as well as multimedia features etc.

I doubt that it is a phone which will last a long time, & wouldn't recommend it if you want a reliable phone.

It sickens me how many people write a bad review about this nice phone. I am using it for over a year now. Of course the touch buttons need a little getting used to. But that only takes a couple of weeks.

When you go back to the menu while typing a text message it is automatically saved in concepts so you're just lame when you don't know that.

Battery life is still almost a week! (Without watching movies or playing mp3s). Always load your battery when it's empty, when it's asking to be reloaded. You want to do it sooner. Play a 3GP movie & it'll consume the battery power in minutes!

Great phone. No scratches yet. I even sat on it once with my chair & had the LCD inside replaced (for free). You have to look at it with an angle to see where the chair landed.

I did not choose this phone, my previous phone had been stolen & this one was the replacement chosen by my insurance company.

The design is attractive & it has a range of good features. I had not had a Bluetooth phone before, but have found this to be a useful feature. The camera is good & the pictures are easily transferable to my computer, so I am happy with this. The bodywork is beautiful, but requires constant cleaning as it shows up every finger print. I love the fact I can use a memory card.

Whilst the touch sensitive buttons look attractive they take some getting used to & can be irritating. During the first week, several text messages got cancelled because my finger brushed against the cancel button. Worse came when I was texting my friend & I noticed that the whole screen lit up & I found that she was talking to me. I thought that she had phoned me & that the phone was set to silent mode. Only after we ended the conversation, several minutes later, I found that I had phoned her, again the result of brushing accidentally against one of the buttons. I lost eight pound of credit!

I am now aware of the risks of touching these buttons & am now exceptionally careful so hopefully this phone will not make any more expensive calls! I find the quality of the handset & the features good. The menus are easy to understand, & I did not have to consult the handbook to learn to use them.

Overall, this is a very nice phone for the price & I look forward to getting fully to grips with it.

I have no complaints what-so-ever with this phone. I cannot believe some of the negative review. Read the manual, sort the settings out so that it is set to your liking.

My phone has not rang anybody because once it is down, the touch screen lights are off & when I press them, the whole pad is locked. I have read all the negative remarks & I have no problems like the problems some people have had!

The design is fantastic. It is sleek & stylish. The features are great & you can customize the short cuts yourself. The usage is fantastic. I have little patience with technology. I had a Nokia 6111 before my Samsung & let's just say, my Nokia was a waste of money! It is now being fixed, like all my other Nokia phones.

I like things simple & this phone is so easy to use. I have had this phone, not even 24 hours yet & it's mine. Customised to how I want it. Working fine, NOT deleting messages, NOT ringing people 'magically'.

I have had my phone for a year now & have had no problems until recently. It has stopped picking up signal in places it used to & where other mobiles on the same network has full signal.

Also within the last week charging has become a nightmare! The phone just stops charging after 10 mins & turns itself off then back on again. When you try to turn it off it turns itself back on again! An absolute nightmare as it bleeps when the ringer is on to tell you it has no battery & it vibrates when it is on silent, even muted silent. I was not amused when it has continued for many hours during the night & resulted in me removing the battery from the phone just to stop it!

I have to say I never had any problems with it before but now I can't wait to get rid of it & get a new phone!

I was sent this phone free on contract. Thought I was getting something very cool & trendy after seeing photos of it.

It's probably the nicest looking phone I've ever had but that's about it, the touch screen is very annoying, if you catch it mid text. I've lost numerous texts that way. The camera is as someone else pointed out a nightmare to use, though photos are very good. I've also managed to use the video but only after a lot of practice.

I am now looking for a flip/clam phone as the amount of scratches this one now has after only 6months is ridiculous.

Hope to have better look with my next purchase.

Before deciding that this phone is rubbish, try owning one for more than a week, & then write a review for it. The battery life is bad at first, only because the battery needs to be fully charged & discharged a few times to get it to its maximum capacity, which is quite good.

Once used to, the touch-sensitive buttons are not a problem at all. I think they are more efficient than standard softkeys.

This phone is the best I've ever owned. The only problem I have with it is the MP3 player: It is not of brilliant quality, & after using it, the keypad has to be locked manually, as opposed to automatically.

So once again, don't moan about a phone until you've used it for at least a week.

Reviewer: Chris - London, UK
Date: 14th Aug 2007

Okay, I have had an e900 for a year now, & wanted to clear some things up that other reviewers have said:

1. The Touch Screen

It deletes text while you are still typing - Yes, it does, but only if you hold your finger on the delete button for a few seconds, it doesn't just delete randomly.

Hangs up while in a call: No. It does not. If you change the settings to close application when you slide down, as I have done, then when you make/receive a call, the phone automatically locks itself & the touch screen fades out making it impossible to accidentally hang up. To unlock just press the centre button on the keypad. Simple.

2. Durability

It scratches easily - I am looking all over my phone, trying to find a scratch. On the actual screen I have none at all; on the back I have 3. I myself am not altogether too careful with my phone & drop it a bit too often, the damage is unable to be seen.
Don't put it near water: When would you purposefully put a phone near water in the first place? That's just stupid. I haven't dropped it in water or anything, but have gone on water rides at theme parks with it in my pocket, it got damp but I just rubbed it dry & carried on.

3. Battery life

Battery is awful: Complete rubbish. Yes, I charge mine every night, not because the battery is awful but out of habit. Putting it on vibrate does not ware down battery quickly. I often have it on vibrate. In fact, I once lost my e900 for 8 days - having charged it the night before, so it was fully charged: & it was on vibrate. This of course made it hard to find when I rung it, even though when it vibrates it is still quite audible. I eventually found it & I watched the battery bar go from 3 bars (full) to 2 bars. So it lasted 8 days without losing a bar of battery. Yeah, a bit faulty then...

MP3 player wares down battery: I have put about 15 of my own songs onto my phone, admittedly I don't play them too often, they are mainly ring tones (assigned to different contacts) but when I do play them, the battery is just the same as ever. It may wear it down a little faster than usual, but then again, it is a phone, not an iPod.

4. MP3 Player

There are no shortcuts to the MP3 player: Have you checked the button on the right hand side of the phone next to the shortcut button to the camera & the power button? It has the writing 'MP3' on it. Just hold it down.

5. General 'annoyances'

The camera takes a lot of getting used to: Well, not particularly. It is a decent 2MP camera. Yes, when you press down either the centre button or the shortcut button on the side, it automatically takes, for me. You just need to make sure you are still, not jumping about so it goes out of focus. If you do that, the picture will be good. It has great editing features too.

There is never any signal: I used to be on Orange, with my old Motorola. HORRIBLE. I got maximum 3 bars out of 5 at the top of my house, with no signal downstairs, so I couldn't use it at the bottom of the house. I am now on Vodafone, & have to say that I never have any signal less than 3 / 6, & that is rare. I usually have 5 or 6/6 with the occasional 4 bars.

The memory card is bad: Well, the simple answer to that is to buy a separate memory card. I have not needed to, but then again, I wanted a phone, not a computer. If you want to save old messages, then move them to your real computer to save space. Having texts, pictures, videos & between 1-15 songs or so is perfectly easy to do on the memory space you are provided with.

In summary:

The e900 has been a wonder to me. I love the touch screen, all the features & what I especially like are all the little applications. A converter; with currency, length, weight, volume, area & temperature, calculator, alarm, memo's. Etc.

You can customise the phone to make it real feel your own. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. To begin with, it will take a little bit of getting used to, by which I mean the touch screen, but once you're up & running, you'll love it.

Hope this helps.

This phone drove me nuts! The touch sensitive keys are a nightmare & I was constantly ringing people I didn't mean to. I also did not like the fact that it did not automatically save outgoing messages & the message memory was pretty rubbish. On a plus, it is a lovely looking phone, but nothing more I am afraid. It started vibrating constantly when I opened messages & I had to actually switch it off completely before it would stop. I have since returned it to the supplier as it was obviously faulty & have gone back to Sony Ericsson & got a W850i which is probably the best phone I have ever had & just blasts the E900 out of sight!

Please, please, please. 'Do not', I repeat 'do not' buy this phone. I have had quite a few phones in my time but this one is the worst ever. If you don't tend to swear much, trust me you will turn the air blue if you buy this phone. The soft touch keys are its most annoying feature. Deleting messages half way through, losing connection half way through a call, going into menus that you don't want, aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

The battery life is atrocious, trust me you will be charging it every single day. There are only 10 message tones (all rubbish) to choose from as you can't use your own downloaded tones. & finally when I have the phone in my pocket, (sorry 'had' the phone in my pocket, as it now lives at the back of my cupboard) it keeps opening up & calling people without me knowing.

So 'please', 'please', 'please' listen to what I am saying, stay well clear of this phone

The worst phone ever. Do not get this phone if you want to keep your sanity. I am a fun of Samsung phones in general but this one is a very bad joke.

The touch sensitive screen is horrible. It keeps on going back to the home screen just before you are about to send a text, thus deleting all of it, calls the phone book at random, just because the fingers passed over the touch screen & so on & so forth.
This could be a problem with my phone but the camera is really bad. The screen jumps into red, green & purple colours as soon as the camera has been on for 1 min.

Overall the worst phone ever made. I bought it off contract for 80 pounds 4 months ago & will through it in the bin end of September so I can upgrade.

I got my phone for my birthday in March & it is now only five months but my phone has had a lot of scratches especially one just dropping it on a bus but the scratch is very deep.

The touch sensitive keypad is unnecessary & useless & when you are texting, it deletes your message & when you're going through your contacts, if you move your finger a fraction of an inch it will call them.

The battery life is also useless & I have to charge it every three days even though it is switched of in school for seven hours.

SO IF ANYBODY IS thinking OF GETTING THIS PHONE, I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST IT AS the TOUCH SENSITIVE MIGHT LOOK SLEEK AT FIRST, BUT AFTER the FIRST THREE MONTHS, YOU WILL FIND IT ANNOYING.

This phone is the worse I have ever had, the touch screen in itself if about the worst thing on the phone, it deletes text whist you are typing, hangs up whilst you are making a call & is generally not very responsive when you do touch the screen, unless of course you don't want it to.

I had to get a phone sock to stop it scratching, after a couple of weeks the pink cover had a chip in it, not sure how as I was very careful with in.

The battery life is awful if you have it on vibrate, it lasts a day if you are lucky, so best thing to do, although not practical is to take it off vibrate & just hope you can hear it.

The camera takes a lot of getting used to as you have to hold the button down a while to get it to take, this is an art to perfect, so don't bother getting anyone to take a pic of you cause if the touch screen hasn't already taken them back to the start screen, then their pic will come out all blurred. The video on the other hand is great, & I ended up doing videos rather than pics as it was easier & they came out clearer.

On the up side the music play plays all formats including MP3 & WMA, although I found the headphones would not stay in my ears if I was actually moving (walking/running) when using it, but fine if you're on the train, although any longer than listening to it for an hour & your battery will died.

I have had my phone 8 months, & its actually just been stolen whilst I was on holiday, I was really glad as it meant I HAD to get a new phone, so I am now on the Sony Ericsson k550i which is fabulous, no more touch screen ;0)

Please don't get this phone unless you are really patient, I don't know one person who has it that actually likes it.

I purchased this phone to replace my Sony k750 which was worn out after 2 years of serious abuse. Should have got a new 750. The touch screen stuff is the most annoying aspect of a very poor effort. A young girl was asking if it was worth spending her birthday money on a pink e700. My experience with phone makers is that when they have a dog on their hands they produce it in different colours. Steer clear you can get twice the phone for half the money.

Absolute garbage! I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy. I am a school teacher & teach kids who are 11-16 if I get my phone out they ask me why I have it as it is so rubbish & often advise me to get rid. The touch screen sends half messages & cuts you off when phoning, messages get erased half way through & there is never a signal. I have never had a phone like it in my entire phoning career which spans 13years now. Even my first brick was better than this, it is basically a piece of trash. Service providers are still offering this phone even though when spoken to on the phone the telesales person at Vodafone said it was rubbish themselves. Don't EVER BUY ONE- I regret mine & we have three in the family with different service providers I have found out that it will cost £140 to get out of the contract & I am now giving it serious consideration.

I know 4 different people whose phones have broken because of water damage, it's not really a common fault but knowing 4 people that has had the same problem it is like 4 people in the same town who all know each other winning the lottery. This phone is terrible, Samsung know this fault & they won't do anything about it so that's why it's not covered in the warranty. So never get this phone you won't have it very long I have only had the phone 6 weeks & never had it anywhere near water but if Samsung do this on this phone what will stop them doing it on the rest of their phones which they will sell in the future.

I bought a Samsung E900 a fortnight ago to replace my smashed BenQ-Siemens E61. I primarily use my phone as an MP3 player & for texting. A friend had the E900 & it seemed extremely user-friendly, with an excellent camera.

Unfortunately in anyone's ears, downloaded tracks are often missing huge chunks toward the end.

I added a compatible memory card with the intention of transferring around 400 songs from my BenQ-Siemens E61. Unfortunately more. Those that had downloaded were often listed as 'unsupported files'.

The memory card / MP3 player interface is useless: the MP3 player works on the phone's existing memory & you are thus limited to 80MB of songs at any one time, & only four playlists are permitted. This is even with a 2GB memory card! The memory card effectively sits there as a storage device rather than augmenting the MP3 player memory.

The design is sleek & pretty but the touch-sensitive pad often causes mistakes, & there are no shortcuts for the MP3 player meaning that whenever you want to switch playlists you have to do it manually.

In short, I would recommend the E900 only for those customers who have a very high turnover of tracks or images that mean very little to them (I.E, someone who downloads a lot of ringtones each week & then discards them). It is not recommended for anyone who relies on an MP3 player facility.

Also, the battery life is terrible. I have to re-charge my E900 every single day. Initially I thought I had got a faulty phone as I could not believe that one day's normal usage (I.E, alarm clock, four or five texts & one received call) alongside fifteen minutes of MP3 player playback - seriously! - resulted in a low battery warning.

After having this phone 1 month the screen developed lines across the screen. Pressure damage apparently which Samsung will repair at a cost of £70! I could understand if it had been dropped or bashed but pressure damage from carrying the phone in your pocket, very poor designing by Samsung! This has also happened to a couple of other people I know. Also the battery life is very poor always on charge.

As this phone can no longer be used I will be forced to buy a new one, hasten to add it won't be a Samsung as I will not be giving them any more of my hard earned cash.

I loved the phone when I first got it, it was great. But the inbox doesn't hold many messages. When adding a new song from my memory card it sometimes deletes the whole 4 playlist. The playlists only hold 30 songs, & there is only 4 playlists, not good when you have a 1 GB memory card. Scratches really easily.

Over all, the phone is OK, but could be made a whole lot better. Had the phone 12 months now, getting a new one next week, really glad.

I've had a go on the touch screen keys & they are quite hard to use but he hasn't had it that long & he can use it perfectly, when you get used to the touch keys they won't be problem.

A great thing about the e900 is you can put in a memory card so you never have to worry about memory.

The camera doesn't need to focus & is good 2.0 megapixels.

I am looking forward to getting the phone but it would be better with a FM radio.

Overall an amazing phone.

The touch buttons take some getting used to but once you've got that sorted there is nothing to fault. The emoticons in texts are great! & the MP3 & camera are really good too. Mine held up to about 21 songs, which is more than the D900. My sister had the D900 & personally this one was faster & better in many ways, I fully recommend this phone to anyone. I love it.

I had this phone today & I must say I am pretty impressed. Not only does it look really good it has some great features. The touch sensitive controls can get annoying, but with the phone slid down & on lock during calls it doesn't create too much of a problem. The main annoying bit about the phone is that the actually designs on the phone; skins etc are limited & very bland. If your looking for a phone to make your own you might want to consider something else. This is still a really good all-round phone, brilliant screen, decent camera & MP3 playback & a nice design. Well worth the money by all means.

I have just bought Samsung E900 two weeks ago. You may think it is short time to give my opinion but I have been using Samsung most of time. I bought E 900 after my Samsung D500 dropped in water. For few days of using E900 I found it excellent than what I have been using. Its soft touch key, camera & colour resolution I like it. The only thing which I did not like it, is that it can not VIBRATE & RING during text message alerts. All Samsung I have been using had that feature. The other feature I propose to Samsung manufacturer is that they should allow or make a USER TO ADD HIS/HER OWN FAVOURATE MESSAGE TONE. OTHERWISE AM COMFORTABLE WITH e 900 FASTER BROWSER, Bluetooth, & WALLPAPER STYLES.

The E900 is a very slick little phone weighing in at less than 100g, & slips perfectly into any pocket. Mercifully the keypad hasn't been compromised as a result, so no fiddling around with microscopic buttons when texting! This mobile is packed with a host of decent features (though lacks a radio), but I suspect it's slightly 'plastic' build could lend itself to being easily marked through use.

Alas, one of its selling features - the touch sensitive navigation - is also its biggest curse! Whoever thought of having touch sensitive cancellation needs a good slap! After repeatedly frustrating myself by accidentally cancelling phone calls, texts (etc, etc) simply through brushing my thumb across the touch-screen, I threw in the towel after a week & reverted back to my previous handset. The E900 is a sweet mobile, but flawed.

I have had this phone for over 6 months now, & am pretty pleased with it. I really liked the design, & the touch-button idea & a couple of my friends had it & said they liked it. It has a lot of functions & features etc, although the phone can't vibrate & ring at the same time when you get a text like my Nokia could & there isn't much choice of ring/text tones (some guys might not like them as they are a bit girly). The design is nice & shiny, but is easily scratched unless you keep it in a case, which I find irritating after a while. For usability, I initially hated the touch buttons, as you would just brush over them while txting or whatever & it would cancel what you were doing & go back to the idle screen, but don't be put off as you do get used to them after a while. The camera is brilliant, & takes full-size photos that look good as wallpapers on both the phone (you can zoom in on the photo & set it, which is great)& on your computer. Finally, the transfer of photos & music is quite slow & complicated with the Samsung software provided, but it is much easier to transfer files with Bluetooth if you have it on your computer. Overall, I would recommend this phone, although I am thinking of changing to the new Samsung x830 instead.

This is a cool, stylish phone but the touch screen is just a nightmare. Sometimes it is unresponsive, & other times a gust of wind is enough for the cancel button to activate & cancel whatever you're doing. It wouldn't be so bad if the cancel button was positioned somewhere other than right next to the direction buttons cos basically, as soon as you start using the directional's, by having your thumb hover over the cancel, it gets cancelled & you find yourself on the main screen. The most annoying phone I have ever had. Looks good though.

I think E900 is the greatest phone in the world. It has great camera facilities, but sadly can't take pictures in dark conditions. The MP3 sound quality is really good & even songs from the 1960's you can hear with perfect sound. Now moving onto the touch screen. This facility is good, but not that good, as someone with chubby fingers might have problems with touching ONE button instead of TWO. I've done some research on the Internet & on PLAY.COM I have seen the gold version of this phone for £74.99 so go there quickly & buy it. But for the natural black colour the phone is £80.00.

I found the camera poor & easily blurred, the sound quality from the MP3 player tinny & the fact that you can't have an MP3 as a message tone or an alarm clock irritating. I had an ancient Sony Ericsson Walkman phone & looking back it was heaven on earth. The software for it was also rubbish & kept forgetting my phone & having to reinstall which was a pain. The shiny rear scratches VERY easily & more than once I have had a conversation or text ended because of the badly done touch buttons.

All in all if you want a stylish phone that ages quickly & has wasted features, this is definitely for you.

Its one of the worst phones, I have ever used in my life. It's worse than the simplest & cheapest Nokia. It boasts to have several features, but it fails to give a simple way of operating the phone. Touch screen is poor. I have been using it for quite a while now, but still I get problems handling the touch screen. Samsung, you have lost a customer.

I think this phone is very, very good! I really liked LG KG800 & this phone is similar to it. Design of this phone is maybe most classy thing here, but this phone has some very good functions, great camera & other. My advice for all who haven't decided do they want to buy this phone, is to buy it as soon as possible!

The phone is great, the only thing about it is the camera could be a bit better. I have a friend that has such a horrible phone & she is jealous & says that the Samsung E900 was on the news because one of the worst phone in the world, she has no brain or sense so don't listen to her. BUY the E900 NOW.

I had this phone when it first came out in the summer last year. I did struggle to get used to the touch keys but it's not all that bad. However recently my phone developed a problem where it kept switching off, I returned it to T-Mobile & they sent it away to be fixed, 8 days later I got my phone back, but after 1 hour it developed exactly the same fault. I have had it repaired a second time & so far so good, but be aware, the guy in the shop did say that this was a very common fault with this phone. Overall, I have not been that impressed with this phone & will probably stick to my usual Nokia when my contract runs out.

Nice looking phone, we received this phone as a gift from our father in the UK. We brought a new sim card from New Zealand & the phone will NOT accept our new sim card, it's continually reading ' INVALID SIM CARD'. I HAVE TRIED TO REACH the Vodafone UK & they seem to be as if they don't know much about what they are doing. Samsung in the UK has referred us to the Vodafone company, Vodafone in the UK takes a while to answer their callers & then when we did connect, they could not help me. Does anyone know how to unlock this phone permanently? I have tried the 8 zeros (00000000), but that does not seem to unlock or accept the new sim card from NZ. So as you can tell, I am now pulling out the remains of my hair, LOL.

I've had this phone for a fortnight & I can recommend it one hundred percent. As well has its good looks it has a very easy to understand & easy to navigate menu which takes you to a host of great features. It seems that peoples main gripe is with the touch sensitive keys & I can well understand that if you text very fast which it seems most people do apart from me then it would be easy to catch the sensitive key & wipe off your info. I have found that if I use my left hand to tap the keys then it works better & I don't seem to be catching the Touch Sensitive keys.

Get this phone & you won't regret it.

Well, my birthday is coming up soon & I want a new phone & this is one of my choices, all the choices I have are Samsung which is a make I love to bits. I would like this phone in pink or the E250 in lilac. But this phone has to be one of my favourites because you can get a protector case for it which protects it from scratches which I am terrible at with phones LOL & the numbers which come up on the screen can change colour! & it's a SLIDE. These tiny details mean a lot to me, it might not to you but it does to me because I am young & haven't had a lot of phones. If I do get this phone I will keep you updated with how it is.

No phone is perfect, we all remember the Nokia 3310 we all had it & were addicted to snake well this is another prominent phone that everyone is going to remember fondly, the camera is dodgy along with video recording. Memory needs expanding which can be done easily. The head phones are absolutely awful but you get used to them because you love the phone.

I have had my phone for 6 months & I love it dearly, it's getting a bit battered now & the screen is cracked & I have to get a new phone which breaks my heart because I love the Samsung E900. 3 of my friends own similar models & they al find it easy to use, good features & the touch sensitive keys are not difficult to get used to the first 10 mins are the hardest.

There's a few tips that I have learnt my self. Unlocking the phone is done easily but lightly pressing the power buttons located on the right side of the handset. Silent mode is achieved by holding the # key until a small box pops up saying silent mode. Such a brilliant phone highly recommended but I am going to buy the new Samsung U600 so I am not leaving the Samsung family.

Brilliant phone, reliable.

It is a brilliant phone, you must be silly to make the phone cut out a call when you touch it again because it locks the keypad when you make a call & if you accidentally press a button when writing a text, it will let you save the message in the drafts folder so you do not loose the message. One downside to the phone is it doesn't ring & vibrate at the same time, it only does one or the other.

Hi there, I just bought the very stylish Black Samsung E900 phone a week ago, & it definitely is a phone worth getting!

I use my phone a lot, for texting, listening to music, calling friends, & bluetoothing images & sounds.

The Bluetooth on this phone is amazing. It works really fast, even on sending songs!

I read some of the other reviews, saying you need to charge your phone a lot if you use it a lot. I use my phone a lot. It's on all the time & every other night I turn it off & charge it until the morning, & then it tells me I've got full battery.

It takes a while to get used to, but so does every new phone. This is certainly a phone to get!

I don't know why people are complaining so much about the touch screen. It's a nice feature integrated into a stylish phone. Fair enough, it does take a little time to adjust to it but after having the phone for just under a month I am having no trouble at all. Predictive text works fine for me, I never have to reset it. My settings save fine & if on the odd occasion I do hit the touch screen button while I am texting it always gives me the option of saving my text first so I can recover it in like 10 seconds.

Anybody who is experiencing problems with the settings or predictive text obviously has a faulty model & needs to get it changed.

As for the phone in general it has a decent camera, expandable memory (take into account that a 2 gig card will only set you back about 11 quid! That's a lot cheaper than an Ipod), it has a friendly interface & I find it very easy to use. It has been a pleasant change from the sluggish Motorola V3 I used to have.

It also has great inter-connectivity with my PC. The tools for transfer music, movies, messages & pictures are very easy to use.

Nice job Samsung.

This is not really a good phone. I bought it on contract with Vodafone & after 6 days, took it straight back!

Like most people are saying, the touch sensitive buttons are hopeless! They cut you off in the middle of a text message & just about any other scrolling you do in the menu.

The internal menu itself is a little too unnecessarily complex & could have been more practical. The only thing I could say is the external design is good & the camera too is good.

Like some people have said, you might get used to the touch sensitive buttons. But for me I wasn't willing to take that chance & took it back within the few days you are allowed to return it.

You do get a lot of fingerprints on the black version, but you can just wipe them off.

There is a little beep which sounds every time you cannot do something (e.g. When you have no signal to send a text) but it's not a big problem, just a bit annoying.

You can't have recordings or mp3s as your alarm.

It doesn't automatically save your sent msgs, you have to choose to.

But, I really do love my new phone & I would deffo recommend it :)

I bought this phone this morning. I was pretty pessimistic about getting it, cos id read that the touch sensitive buttons are a problem.

I disagree actually, I was surprised to find that after about an hour I was fairly used to them. Not been on the phone yet so unsure what that's like, but it locks the keypad while you're on the phone anyway so I doubt there'll be too much problem. I was also under the false impression that all the buttons were touch sensitive, they're not, it's just the soft keys & the phone symbol buttons.

I am not a technology genius (far from it! ) but I had absolutely no problem setting up the computer program that comes with the phone, & now have some good songs on my phone.

I would recommend this phone to somebody who is willing to take a bit of time adjusting to something new, but who wants a good quality camera & music player, with all the features you want at a very fair price.

I am not sure about the battery life, it has already lost one of its three bars of battery, but I am not too worried about that, as I have been on it quite a lot today.

A pretty good phone overall, at a good price.

But some ppl said that the phone was too sensitive but if you no how to control a sensitive phone then it would be easy to use.

As with other reviews I agree that it is very sensitive but I am getting used to it (after 6 months! ). I find the menu structure still a bit puzzling, I have only just discovered today that I can put it on & off silent by holding down the hash key. Up until now I could turn on silent mode but there is no way to turn it off through the menu system that I can see. My main irritation is that it takes 9 clicks to send a text message to someone in your phonebook, drives me mad particularly as it often returns to the main menu if I pass over the exit key by mistake! It does look good, I don't use it for photos or music much so perhaps I am not getting all the plus sides to compensate for the more menial applications. On balance its worth persevering with if you like the look but I will be changing it as soon as I can!

I am currently on contract with 3, & to be honest I hate it, however phones for you have said that they will buy the contract off me for the last 4 months. I want this phone purely because I have a weakness for touch screen phones. When I actually went to get my contract phone I wanted the LG Chocolate, but couldn't get it for one reason or another.

I really want this phone but I am not able to get it until Christmas this year. I was wondering if someone could tell me whether they think it will be too old by then & whether they think that I should get the Nokia 7373 instead just based on what you know or whether you have had them or whatever, I really need some advice, please could you help?

I hate this phone. I actually detest it! I ended up taking it back & luckily the O2 shop let me change it to the fantastic D600.

OK so where to begin on the bad points. As many people have said the touch sensitive buttons are far to flipping sensitive, its every so slightly annoying when your just about to send a text message when you finger grazes the back button & the WHOLE message is gone just like that. Believe me it's easier done than you might think. That's just one small thing that annoyed me, the menus are so annoying the come out in huge blocks which make the navigation so much harder & the Orange colour scheme is YUCK & after much playing about with the phone I discovered can't be changed. Probably one of the worst features is the inbox, messages aren't in order of most recent. Oh no that would be too simple, they're in alphabetical order so you have to actually search through your inbox for ages to find the message you last received & again this can't be changed! I also think the camera sucks. If you even move your hand in the slightest the picture quality is awful & even then the time between you pressing the button & the picture actually being taken is about 5 seconds, very annoying.

I agree the look of the phone is good but do not let this fool you into buying this phone. If you want a nice looking phone but will make you want to throw it out the window then this is the phone for you, other wise I recommend you stay well clear!

Only cost me £82 instead of £100! Bargain! ) Would like to be able to change the message tone to my music, more skins would be nice & would be tones better if the Chelsea pics weren't on it!

Physically this phone is beautiful, looks so elegant. But you have to get used to its sensitivity. The camera is amazing, but I haven't really figured out how to zoom it properly. & once you've taken the picture, you shouldn't move right away cuz it ruins the image. The thing this is I send & receive a lot of text messages everyday & the MEMORY & BATTERY LIFE sucks. I have to charge it after a day since I use it a lot. & I got a 1G memory card but then that's for the images, videos, etc. I've dropped it a few times, & I lay it on the table while I am in class & it's all scratched, but then that depends on the user, if they're careful. But since it's all black, very sleek color for a phone, it's not that obvious.

If you text a lot & you hate charging everyday, don't get this phone, but if you want to look all sleek then get it.

This phone is really sleek in design, & the menus are really easy to use. I have smaller fingers than the average user, & so have never had a problem with the touch keys. I have had two handsets due to a faulty sim card & therefore it restarting all the time, however I changed my new t-mobile sim to my old virgin sim & it works like a dream. I love the style of the phone, & to me, it seems like a cheaper prada phone! Just also to high-resolution with the phone un-slid. This is so great. Brilliant phone apart from faulty sim card got us off to a bad start.

It's been almost a year with this phone. Took me sometime to get used to it. The worst things with my phones are that they keep breaking because I am pretty clumsy with the phones. This one on the other hand is just amazing I have dropped it a million times even driven over it, but it works like a charm.

Every phone has issues & so does this but till now it has served more than what I have expected it to. Besides the battery like the phone is just amazing in every way possible.

Phone arrived today. Well impressed at first (10am). Seemed sleek & well designed. I dived into the settings & changed a few things, like the annoying sounds.

It was at this point I realised the phone wasn't as friendly to use as my trusty old NEC e540. The phone is also quite a bit slower responding. Menus not nearly as well laid out.

The black shiny case soon looked a mess with fingers prints.

The camera is good for phone. Won't trouble a digicam, not even a 4-5 year old digicam. But for an adequate picture that you don't want to miss, it's okay.

Never got a chance to try out the MP3 player. Or any other feature for that matter. As by 11.30am the phone was broke. Continually rebooting, unable to find a network & crashing part way through anything I did. By 12pm it was in a loop of reboots & unable to sort itself. Finally by 3pm (after 1.5hrs on the landline phone to tech support) I gave up & returned the phone. Now ordered a Sony K800i & hoping for better luck.

I think the E900 is a fantastic phone. It is really stylish & the heat sensitive keypad is no where near as bad as I thought it would be. It is sensitive enough, but not too sensitive so someone with chubby fingers can use it with no problem. The camera video recording is the best video record I have ever seen, but unfortunately.

I just bought this phone, liking it over some of the other phones, & there were some very ugly phones there, thinking that it looked rather nice, & being someone who bores easily, I am entertained by the sliding screen.

However, after two weeks with it, I am still very stressed with the touch screen. If you so much as slip a little, it goes off that screen & onto another, which is rather annoying. Even more annoying when you are trying to take a photo of yourself, it gets near impossible at times!

It does look nice (it's RED! Not pink! ) & otherwise is a nice phone to use, but I would like to have a tune & vibration for texts.

I thought this phone was pretty good. Until today!

I am 13 years old & nearly 14, & had this phone as a Christmas present. I thought it was quite good, nice design, great features.

Today I went shopping & had the phone in my front jeans pocket (as ALWAYS) I took it out after around 2 hours & saw there were several fuzzy lines & a strange black blob on the screen. I turned it off & on again & it was still there.

I went into the carphone warehouse (not expecting them to fix it for me there & then) but to find out what was wrong with it. A pleasant member of staff told me that my screen had shattered, & this was a common problem with the e900. He then told me that it was going to cost £45 to repair! I thought he was joking. The phone itself is now only worth £90. When I had it for Xmas it was £170.

I am now going to have to wait 2 months until my birthday when I will have to get a new phone. The most annoying thing is that the day before I had just bought an ipod with all the money I had saved up!

I am on a contract sim, so I can put my sim card into another phone (my mom's old one) which doesn't even have a colour screen let alone a camera! I probably won't even bother.

The worst phone I have ever bought in my life! This is the second faulty one I've received! Keeps turning itself off when trying to send a text or make a phone call! Very irritating as it doesn't save the message & you have to retype it. The touch screen is far too sensitive & if you ever so slightly brush a button it will for example delete a message or change into a completely different menu from the one you were in! You cannot set your own message tone & the options available isn't that great! Also the pink phone is red! I am not colour blind. It is red! It has a great memory & some other good camera features but it's really not worth it compared to the hassle. Also when making a call if you move the phone & your ear touches the screen, good bye phone call! Steer clear for own sanity!

I have had this phone for about 3 weeks after it came out in the UK. As long as I have had it the phone has had all my needs. I just wish it had more memory without having to have a memory card. The phone takes brilliant pics. Because I was so exited about the phone when it came out I went & bought the black one a little while after my mate bought a white 1. I was a bit jealous at first. But I am happy because you can see all the scratches on it! On mine you can only see the big ones! I love this phone it is the best I have had but any advice to Samsung: keep the looks the same just get more memory space on there! I love it though.

I don't know how so many people love it so much the only thing I completely adore is the design & the fact that it has an MPS. *pulls a face* I would agree the memory is poor! Compared to my old phone the Siemens SF65 which no-one ever had so it was different & I could hold all my text & messages the memory was unlimited. Going to get the new Prada phone.

This phone is driving me mad. The touch sensitive buttons are so sensitive that I find myself constantly in the wrong menu or leaving text messages unsent & unsaved. I've stuck with it for three months on the basis that I was used to Nokias & thought it was just a familiarity issue, but it isn't. I recommend you try out the phone before you buy as the keypad is very tiresome, to say the least.

OK this phone really is stunning, I have it in gold. I've had it for about a week & everyone always says how good it looks. The menu is really easy to use & texting is easy, great buttons. The screen is big & clear. It's really light & fits easily into your pocket. The camera is brilliant too & you can add lots of cool effects & inserts frames, clip art & emoticons etc

But there are some problems- the touch sensitive screen is a bit TOO sensitive. I always end up calling people by mistake & accidentally deleting messages half way thru I've written them, it' gets really irritating after a while. The sound is quite clear but the volume is pretty low even when turned up all the way. Sometimes I can't hear my phone ringing if it's in my bag. Also what's up with the msg tones? Only the boring Samsung ones- you can't choose a song for the tone. & the skin can only be in black & white which is a bit dull! Also when I am charging my phone it's really difficult to use the touch sensitive screen- I have to press really hard & sometimes it doesn't work at all, maybe it's just a problem with my phone though. The battery life is alright, I use my phone quite a lot & I need to charge it every 3 days.

Overall I do like this phone, you just have to get used to the screen but I do think it's something you should consider if you're thinking of buying it- calling ppl buy accident can get annoying. But it's so pretty!

I've this phone in pink since December 2006 & yes the touch sensitivity is as sensitive as you can get once you get used to it after a few weeks it's great. Don't forget to mess about with the setting so you don't always have to have it sliding just to use your menu. The only problem I find is editing my photos I can't actually copy or move some files to the photos folder. If any one has any clue on how I do it please let me know. All in all I think this phone is brilliant. It looks great, the size & weight are excellent.

Well got this phone for my birthday in February & I have tried to get used to it but now its getting replaced. Initially I thought it would be a great little phone as had a Samsung previously. I only really use it for calls & texts. It's OK but not right for me!

Problems & issues include:

It doesn't allow you to have your own text tone, the ones they have are a bit pants, the same with the alarm!

Its ssssssssssooooooo sensitive! I have really small fingers but it still some how gets caught on the exit button! Also the first person on my contact lists gets repeated calls by accident!

The black version shows fingerprints & marks quite badly.

It does not have a very loud volume. Could never hear it in my bag or trouser pockets.

Hope this helps.

Just got my new phone to find out the softkeys aren't working right, I am having a time trying to get this fixed with Samsung. The softkeys randomly switch off & there is very little I can do say if in the menu & navigating. The only way I can get the phone to work is by closing it & leaving it for 5+ minutes in the hope the keys work again, very annoying.

Apart from the obvious I love the phone & intend to get it fixed/ buy a replacement as the design & features are fairly good. Perhaps I have just had an unlucky first experience with Samsungs. Fingers crossed!

If you want a phone that looks great, then this is the one for you. However, if you want your phone to be practical then steer clear. Having previously used a Motorola v3, I got the E900 as an upgrade & I have persevered with it for 4 months before finally giving up! As mentioned by other reviewers, the touch screen is just too sensitive! It is irritating in the extreme to compose a text only for it to cancel before sending or for it to be sent to drafts. It is also annoying that predictive texting has to be set each time you text rather than being able to set iTAP as a definitely!

Had Samsungs for years & what Samsung call ''touch of the future'' with regards to the touch buttons will drive you mad! No really I am not joking your be screaming at it by the end of the first day.

I lasted a week before throwing it in the back of the drawer & in that time found that both photos & videos when downloaded onto your computer look great, miles better than the D500/600.

The fact that you can have a small video clip that keeps looping around as your wallpaper/screensaver was a neat feature (took a video of the fish in my fish tank) & also that you can have video clips of your family & friends as your caller ID was excellent.

But alas all these great features mean nothing when you spend 5 mins writing a long text & then just as your set to send it you brush your finger across one of the side buttons taking you back to the menu screen.

E900 'the screaming Phone' bet Samsung never go down that path again touch of the future.

I upgraded to this phone last week & was really excited at getting at. The shocking pink colour & slimness of it really appealed to me. It arrived & after playing around with it for a couple of hours I was ready to throw it out of the window.

The touch screen is just far far far far too sensitive. It's hard to navigate around the menus. Say for example you use both hands when using your phone & you are navigating with your right hand & resting your left hand on the phone, your left thumb will cancel out what the right thumb is doing. Then when making calls the phone cuts off because your ear presses against the touch screen buttons.

Please please don't waste your money on this phone. Feel free to read the rest of the reviews about 'I don't know why people can't use it, they obviously don't know how to use it properly'. I am sorry no, I know how to use phones, the screen is just too sensitive. Unless you are prepared to hold the phone away from your ear whilst talking don't bother ringing anyone!

The only way for me to get a video is if it is sent to my son's phone which is a Samsung D900 & then he transfers it to my memory card. What a faff. My sister has a Samsung D600 & she is able to receive videos, but my E900 just does not want to know. Has anyone got any ideas? Or have others been having the same problem.

I love this phone. But I find that I have to charge the battery every day, & that I end up ringing people too easily because of the touch screen. Also, I can't work out how to put songs onto it from my computer, even though I've had it since November.

Overall, a great phone, & I would recommend it to others =]

I have no complaints about design & features they are the best! Usability, I have never had a slidy phone so I am adjusting, I only got it yesterday & I am pretty much got the hang of the slide. The sensitive buttons are all fine but the cancel button sometimes is too sensitive or not too sensitive. Like I am writing a text & I hit it (what would be the back button) accidentally & I have to save the text as a draft otherwise it cancels it & I would have to start again. My dad has trouble with it because he has really big hands, & he can't hit the center button without hitting the navigating arrows.

Needs more skins. Fantastic phone!

This is the best phone everrrrrr. No probz with it soo far. Recommend it to every1. Great look. Music is loud. Games are good. Memory is good. I have got about 30 trkz on ma phone without any memory card. Camera is good. It fell so many times & hasn't even got a single scratch on it. But I bought a crystal cover just in case LOL. But overall it's perfect. 10/10

It is a very good phone & I like the fact that it's slim & can fit into any pocket or bag very easily, but it's too sensitive & I press buttons that I am not meant to all the time! I like the colour of my phone (red) & I think it's different from a lot of peoples that I know.

I do love the phone but I am looking for a new one at the moment because it's annoying that I keep sending messages I don't want to or cutting people off when I am on the phone.

I love this phone, had few prob's with receiving pic messages at first but a call to my provider & they sent me the config messages to allow me to receive them! I have always had Nokias but tried the Samsung d500 which was the turning point for me- I loved it & was tempted when my upgrade came about just to get another d500 but was persuaded by 02 to give the e900 a try! Its great & I would never go back to another make.

My only grumble is Samsung haven't quite got round to allowing you to have your own message rec'ved tone- they have to be the boring pre-set ones!

Any ideas what I can upgrade to next--- obviously a Samsung but which one?

I gave the phone a 75 for deign because the 'creators' or whatever you call them should have designed it better.

I have this phone in Gold, Gorjus phone but yeah like every1 seems to be saying the Cancel button need a a little more touch sensitivity

I have actually read all these to see if any1 has the problem I have, my vibration doesn't work I have only had the phone about too weeks tried everything & I am good with phones & so has my dad. Wondering if anybody could post back if they know anything about it as I use the vibration a lot for when I am at school & work etc.

I think for the price you pay a memory card should be included as it is needed. Camera Smudges too often which is so annoying when trying to capture a picture.

I understand what every1 is saying about having to restart messages but before it cancels you have to say weather you want too save it in drafts or not so. You can't really complain I just save it & send it then.

Mint phone though can't fault the design. Only we should be able too have more skins than black & white to be honest.

The Usability Was Difficult To Get Used To but Once Acustomised To It You're Well Away.

Over the last 10 years or so I've always had Nokia handsets, but this time I wasn't impressed with the range available on pay as you go, so, after much perusing on this site, settled on the Samsung E900, & am really glad I did.

The sliding mechanism is sturdy, unlike the Nokia 6111, which my sister has, & the menu options easy to get comprehend. Memory status is organised well, so you can see what file types are taking up all your memory, although 80megs is quite generous. I've seen people gripe about it, but come on this is a phone, I have a 30gig ipod to play music on, so 80megs is more than enough for me.

I've only had the phone since yesterday & have gotten to grips with the 'touch screen' keys easily, for the most part (the clear button seems to need a lot more than a touch), & find them quite nice to use, actually.

There are some fun features, one such being able to change the screen when inserting a phone number manually to dial so that it's not just boring numbers on a screen, one of the options has a quill that 'writes' the numbers in different colours.

All in all, I am glad I took the leap from Nokia. This is a really impressive phone, & stylish to boot!

Did anybody get a memory card with their phone? Because I didn't. & on the sites I have looked at. About e900's say that they have a memory card with them. Or a memory stick. What ever you call it. ! I am quite confused about this. I had my phone at Christmas 2006.

Takes great pictures & as of yet I cannot find a fault apart from it gets grubby easily although mine hasn't yet & my friend who has this phone doesn't use a memory card but at the moment has 271 messages on her phone so I hope mines the same!

You can't Store a lot Of Messages But you Can Put Them in a Folder Which Allows You to Keep More. I Can Store 80 Photos & 16 Songs Which Is good. The Screen Scratches Far Too Easily If You Are A Teen. & when you're In the Menu Your Finger Always Touches the Screen & you're back To the Start Which Is Veryyyyy Annoying!

I've had this phone just over a week now & I like it!

It looks good, there's no doubt about that & the slider is very smooth, it doesn't feel like it's about to take your eyeballs out.

There are some great features on there & all the menus I would say are very user friendly & set out simply & logically.

Camera/video quality & software is excellent

OK, so the down points?

The touch sensitive buttons can be a bit sensitive & then the complete opposite. They're a bit temperamental but once you get the hang on them, they're not so bad!

The phone makes stupid bleeps at you when you press the wrong button & often cancels whatever you was just doing (such as writing a text out), is this punishment or what?

Despite the downsides I would say this is a good phone but don't get it if you A. Don't like fiddly phones & B. Don't have lots of patience!

Had Samsung D600, was a great phone, upgraded to E900. What a mistake. The touch screen buttons are a nightmare, either too sensitive taking you back to previous screens or deleting texts or not sensitive enough. Also, there are many tones that I can't turn off, e.g. the message sent one, the silent mode off one & when you press a wrong button. It drives me mad. The D600 was a great phone, the E900 has not really moved on is so many ways. It does look good though, & transferring music from PC to phone is a lot easier than before. I am troubled!

OK, I was thinking about getting one of these but having read all the reviews here, it paints a pretty clear picture. All the girls love it, which suggests it's a great looking phone. Most of the guys hate it, which suggests its functionality is pretty poor. What's the point in getting a phone that doesn't work properly / do what you want it to do? Great if you are just looking for a cool phone but otherwise what's the point?!

Rubbish! How come the first message in the inbox isn't the last one you received?

How come EVEN WHEN SILENT it makes a loud annoying noise if you do something wrong?

I seem to have only space for 20 texts- 20! Are we back in 1982 or something?

These things MIGHT be correctable- but I can't find out how.

Rubbish, I am selling it on eBay & going back to my older model Samsung

I have heard that there are a new batch of non-faulty ones out. I hope I get a non-faulty one, if I do I will be very disappointed.

I just bought a Samsung E900 & it is yet to arrive. However my friend has one & I find them very classy! I think that the people who complain about the phones touch screen clearly just have fat fingers, obviously not for them. My boyfriend has a chocolate LG so I think there will be a bit of competition between us about who has the best phone. (I have noticed that people have compared the two). I am obviously going to win because the Samsung E900 is clearly the winner :)

People - this phone may look good (sorry to say I bought it for that very reason) but the usability is terrible! The touch sensitive keys make are a gimmick & make the phone difficult to use - half way through writing a text message the phone will go back to the main screen & you need to start all over again (arghhhhh! ) Location of the Internet button means constantly connecting to the Internet by accident (I don't want to see my bill). Ring tones are poor, you can't set your own music as the alarm & are left with a small number of highly irritating tones to choose from. Speaker isn't too great, MP3's sound tinny. The camera is OK, few blurred shots but the overall quality is pretty good.

Kept this phone for a week (to try to get used to it) but have sent it back, going back to Sony Ericsson!

All in all, I'd say if you want to do nothing but look at this phone, by all means buy it. If however, you want to use it at all - stay clear of it!

One thing I want to know though is: How do I get pictures off my phone & onto my computer?! I've tried installing the software & plugging it into the USB port, but the computer just doesn't pick up the phone. I also tried the Bluetooth, but my computer can't detect that either : (

-I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago, & I do like it. Yes, you do sometimes press the cancel button by mistake, but I have got past that, & do it no more.

-Also, I keep pressing the middle button, on the home screen, which takes you to WAP. That gets me sometimes, but it's not so bad!

-I am listening to some of my mp3s now, with the free headphones, & the quality is good! The volume goes quite high, & you have a couple of EQ settings to suit you. 3D setting sucks, don't know why anyone would want that!

-There's a nice setting you can have, where if you close the sliding bit, it doesn't exit the activity! Sometimes when I am in the middle of a game, my friends will slide it down for annoyance, but not anymore!

-Camera is very good! As long as you hold it still, your images won't get blurred, but they do have a tendency to get blurred. Could do with an autofocus. However, the pictures are of a very good quality, & have numerous settings, for your enjoyment!

-Calls are very audible, & texting is easy.

-The battery meter on mine is a bit weird though. It'll be full one minute, then suddenly running out. Doesn't bother me too much, I charge it every other night, & that works fine!

In a nutshell, this is a good phone, & I would recommend getting it! Just, prepare to be a little patient!

Very user friendly phone. Easy to access menu system. Niggle is the touch sensitive buttons.

Battery life leaves much to be desired, but ALL the Samsungs I have had eat batteries anyway. Must be a common fault with them? Overall, is a very nice phone. I got it 2nd hand of a girl who said she said it was pants cos of above & more. Get the battery life sorted & do auto block on the touch sensitive buttons during texting, & it'll be fine.

This was my second Samsung phone - my first being an E350 which was excellent. The E900 was one BIG let-down, it looks the part, but feels cheap & scratches very easily. The camera is awful - picture quality is very poor & just the slightest movement will mean the photo is totally blurred. I got rid of mine after just two weeks - I now have a Sony-Ericsson K800i which is absolutely fantastic & cannot be faulted in any way.

In reply to Callum from London's message regarding the sent items remaining empty after sending a text - you need to press options Save & Send rather than Send Only. I've only just found this out myself after having the phone for a month! Also I do agree with other reviewers that the camera is rubbish - I have a 4 month old nephew & taking photos of him is difficult as the subject needs to remain still for the picture not to blur - as you can imagine it's difficult to keep a 4 month old still! Another area to moan about are the touch sensitive buttons - too sensitive!

Hey Peeps, I agree with almost everything said below, apart from the rubbish reviews etc LOL, & this phone is awesome!

It's very sophisticated & I do agree the buttons do sometimes wind you up & it goes back like 4 steps when you accidentally touch it once hehehe

Message tones not being real tones is annoying but maybe that's for simplicity & sophistication!

As for anyone wondering about the camera! If you have the flash on, wait until it's gone off & then it won't blur! Otherwise just hold the camera & posers still for a few seconds after the snap-shot sound & it'll be fine!

Song wise I got like 20-30 tunes on my MP3, millions of images (well not quite LOL) & lotsa messages!

Anyways have fun people!

Got mine just before Christmas & was torn between D900 & this. Chose this one because of the width (D900 too much of a man's phone) as it fits better in my bag (a good enough reason to me!). Touch keys not really a problem when you get used to them - you need to be gentle - but volume is not very loud even on highest setting so tend to miss the odd call but hey, if it's that important they'll call back!

To Shaz in Sheffield: Go to Settings, then Display Settings & select Show Caller Information - this should be ON. Hope this helps.

Has anyone had any problems with the phone constantly vibrating when you retrieve an SMS? We are now on the third handset! The phone is fine for 7-10 days then just decides to vibrate - non-stop! Resetting to factory settings does stop the problem but only for a matter of hours!

I've just had this phone free on a contract deal. I wanted the Nokia 7373 but as that phone was out of stock & they couldn't promise that I'd get the same deal when it was in I decided to go for this phone, my second choice. I really dislike this phone, I didn't really think the particular phone I got would matter, as I only want it for calls, messages & photos, but I find this so difficult to use. Because I am a girl my hands are too small for me to be able to use the touch screen without my thumb brushing over the cancel button & it takes me ages to do anything as I keep having to start again. I think the touch screen is just technology for technologies sake, it doesn't make the phone easier to use, & in fact it makes it harder. I am thinking about buying a new charger for my old phone so I can use that again & selling this one.

The Samsung E900 is a nice phone & easy to use. I bought mine a few days ago & yes I do agree that the touch sensitive keys can be problematic however I have used touch sensitive keys before so I don't find them all that hard to use. I will say one thing about the keys though & one key in particular - the cancel button - now that is a bit too sensitive when you start to use the phone for the first time. You'll find if you're not careful you end up lightly brushing the key with your thumb when using the navigation keys, & it ends up taking you back to the main screen. However there are ways of getting around this problem.

1. Use the menu shortcuts - each menu option has a shortcut number
2. Use the scroll keys on the side of the phone for navigation

Personally I find using the phone left handed solves the problem too, the key the opposite side isn't so sensitive & if knocked will not cancel out anything you're doing.

I do find though that you cannot assign personal ringtones to different people without copying all contacts from your sim to phone memory. & unlike my other Samsung phone you can't give people different message tones. Talking of ringtones if you're hoping for a good selection you'll find the definitely loud sounding.

On the positive side I do love this phone & after having a go on it in the shop I realised that what people had said about the touch sensitive keys being hard to use weren't all that hard after all - that is until I got it home & found out about that one key. But I am getting used to it & now hardly ever accidentally knock it due to using the shortcuts & scroll buttons on the side. It's a very nice looking phone & is an added bonus when you can get it in different colours. The screen is sharp & clear & the text size is nice & large for those people who have trouble reading small text. You can also personalize the text size & colour & even the background for more easy to read purposes.

Really difficult to get to grips with. Touchscreen so sensitive screen changes from what you are doing to something else-with no explanation. The most frustrating thing of all is I cannot get my callers ID to come up, all say UNKNOWN! Can anyone help? the D900 is a much more 'positive' phone.

Hi, I do not actually have a Samsung e900, I have the older version. I bought the phone, & it was the best & the newest in the shop. About one week after I was in the car when I dropped it on the floor, & the screen cracked. The actual glass screen broke & the screen what everything is shown on is smashed. It costs 100 to fix the screen & 20 pound to mend the glass! It has also happened to my mother! Is this the same for anyone else? Are these phones hazard prone because I was thinking of getting the e900 but I don't want to waste my money :S x thank you x

Got this phone for a Xmas present & I think it's great. The touch sensitive buttons weren't a problem for me at all, & I was fine with it after the first hour or so. I did have a few problems transferring music to it, because I have windows me, & Samsung PC studio isn't supported on that system. But I bought a micro sd card & card reader of eBay & it was working great :D until last night I twisted the card when I was putting it in the slot & it was jammed, so I tried to get it out with scissors & tweezers & it kinda snapped (oops) but I have ordered another card & hopefully I haven't damaged the slot or anything! I think this phone is amazing, the cameras great, & the music player goes quite loud (well for a phone.) there's only one thing that annoys me which is that you can't change the message tone & you have to choose from the preset ones! Although this is an annoying feature on many Samsung phones, I think they really need to sort this out! I love the design & think the overall features are fantastic. Its way better than the LG chocolate it feels so plastic & the e900 is so much more sophisticated!

The phone looks stylish & that's about it. It has a few high tech stuff but that's about it a complete waste of time otherwise, you can't change the message tone, you always cancel everything with the sensitive buttons, I can't receive or send messages? I can't get on to there website before. It's just dodgy everything seems to break & especially when you have a £200 odd phone that you can't use at all except for music, games & camera.

I got my e900 recently & I am extremely happy with it! When I first got it the touch buttons are a bit different & the menu navigation is slightly different as I am used to a Motorola. However, once you get used to it you do appreciate the novelty of it. Not having a text ringtone is fairly annoying but the ones given are not horrific! To the people who write bad reviews on here & complain about the buttons all I want to say is that when you bought the phone you would have seen that it has touch buttons & if you don't like it send it back or don't buy it in the first place!

OMG what are you people on about? A few drops of rain break the touch buttons? Do they like heck, I have dropped mine in a sink full of water & everything still works perfectly! The memory is great & I love the fact you can get a memory card for it. The camera is a lot better than I thought it'd be. I have had mine nearly a month & I am so glad I bought it. It's a lot better than Sony Ericsson's cos I have had loads of them & they break so easily & take age's bluetoothin & their camera pic quality isn't as good as the e900's. I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a lot of features in a phone, something stylish & easy to use. The touch buttons do take some getting used to but the phone on the whole is worth it!

Had this phone for around a month now, I do like it, although it is different from a Nokia which is what I am used to. Takes a while to get used to, but will stick with it. One thing which I do find annoying is that when the phones light has dimmed (its gone blank) there's no clock or date on the screen (like on a Nokia) its just a black grey screen, so if you received a text or missed call, when your phones gone back to the blank screen you can't tell you've received anything unless you slide the phone up.

Does anyone know how to change this or is this standard? I've looked in the settings, but can't seem to find anything that changes that.

After reading many reviews about this phone I bought it & would like to point out the following.

Predictive text was not on the 1st time I turned on the phone but when I selected it has stayed on permanently

Battery life on the first charge was poor but was greatly extended on subsequent charges

the touch buttons are good but take getting used to as does the whole phone really

Put songs from my PC on2 it & very impressed

Overall very good camera memory & features can't complain & it's probably the best looking phone out at the mo

Hello

Had the phone for about a month now & I love it! All these people saying bad stuff are WRONG! There is 80MB memory. Not enough? BUY A MEMORY CARD - THEY'RE CHEAP ENOUGH! I got a 512MB memory card for £6 on eBay! Don't complain! MP3 is excellent - those people complaining about the sound, you can change it on settings to make it clearer & louder. Locking the phone when your in a call is a positive point so I don't know why people are complaining - obviously it has to be locked otherwise the SENSITIVE keys are going to activate! Loads of cool ringtones & backgrounds ready on the phone, I love them! It has soo many features like Bluetooth & games & stuff. It's really amazing camera - definitely! To see if you have text just slide it up! Not hard.

THIS PHONE IS GORGEOUS Would recommend to anyone. Such beautiful design & so many features make it just perfect! Can take it to school & everyone says 'oh my god I love your phone' they all want one!

Thanks for reading my review! Lucy

Sure it looks great, & the features are awesome (great video & camera for example), but it's a disaster to use:-

1. The phone's speaker (not loudspeaker) is dreadfully tinny & echoy. Hearing people properly on calls is not always easy.

2. The touch sensitive keys are a nightmare, not least of all because you'll keep hitting one by accident, thereby cancelling whatever it is you're doing.

3. The phone can't ring & vibrate at the same time! Unbelievable but true.

4. The ring tones are rubbish, for those who don't want to sound like an idiot, there isn't a plain 'ring ring' tone.

5. The screen scratches very very easily (think iPod).

6. The text messaging / predictive text is badly arranged, & if you're used to Nokia texting (like me) then forget it.

I could go on, but this phone is completely unintuitive & difficulty to use.

I hate it.

Had it for a week & have to agree it looks really great. But those touch buttons ARE a pain, slowly getting used to them. But just too close to the nav keys, it really does get frustrating.

Name card, only sends number (no name) on SMS, manual & Samsung can't help. I used Contacts & calendar sync but not good (for me). Contacts difficult as can't select fields & calendar nothing transferred after 4 attempts. I could persevere, but why, with my last 2 Sony Ericsson's I setup fields & -bang first time sync. Never looked back.

If you just want a good looking phone/camera go ahead, if you want more from contacts/calendar try something else.

It's a real shame, but reluctantly I am sending it back to get a Sony Ericsson again, even if it doesn't look so good!

Just got this phone from Orange after many years of using Nokia's, it looks very nice & is very small. The screen images are good, & I was very impressed by the camera.

However, I can't stand this phone's usability! I really can't understand why they put some touch-sensitive parts along with a middle push button. It makes it very unwieldy.

Also, the stupid thing keeps skipping, & I must have rung one number on my contact list several times by accident, as well as locking the damn thing onto loudspeaker & not being able to click it off.

What's more, I can't understand why phone manufacturers make the space button on text messages as the #key rather than the 0key, it makes no sense. It's uncomfortable to use unless you are left handed.

So, despite it being a cute phone which looks nice & has some good features, I am sending it back & going with good old Nokia, luckily the 7373 has come out now, so I'll give that a shot!

I have had this for about 6 months now; yes, it takes a little getting used to, but once you've managed to master the heat-sensitive keys its great. The way it works dragging info to/from the phonebook is quite smart & contrary to other reviews you don't wipe a complete message with one mistake - the message is ALWAYS saved to drafts. Camera quality is excellent, it's actually 3 megapixel not 2 & produces by far the best widescreen shots (yes widescreen) that I've seen. It's quite weighty but very resistant to damage; I've dropped it many a time & it's come through without a mark. Don't believe all you read about raindrops affecting it, you just wipe them off its not difficult!

OK I just wanted to say tht to all tht ppl tht are moanin about the MP3 not being loud enough what do ya expect its a phone its not built to be loud! If you really want loud music then get an actually MP3 player & plug it into speakers! Next ppl are moaning about the touch sensetive buttons being annoyin & being too sensetive well hence the word sensetive! The whole point is in the name! Then ppl sayin the camera isnt good enough well a phone has really only been designed to phone ppl & you probably done with a phone years ago without a camera! & if you wanted good pictures then get a digital camera/video recorder! & the last thing I want to say is tht ppl are also moanin about how the phone locks the touch sensetive buttons when your on the phone but is a pain tryin to go through your phonebook while on the phone! Well a dnt really think you should b moanin becuz you either get annoyd will the phone going into things while on the phone if they didnt lock or you get annoyd when tryin to get into your phonebook ect which isnt the kind of thing you do all the time when on the phone!

Great looking phone. Of course good quality audio. But be very very careful while using, handling. I have had 2 phones in 2 months. First one, few drops of rain on touch screen - touch sensitive keys gone! (Just 3 or 4 drops- not much). This is true. Second one, the touch sensitive buttons are extremely sensitive. Had to take it back & changed for Nokia. The salesman said he had plenty complaints & said it's not a reliable phone. Good phone but very fragile. Conclusion: If you are really really careful & use very rarely, but it, will last for a year. Anyway I prefer Nokia - no offence.

Have recently upgraded to the E900 from a Nokia 6230. I have always used Nokia but found their new phones to be too bulky so I decided to go for the stylish E900, wish I'd never bothered! Yeah it looks great, has a good sized memory & takes good photos but that's about it. The MP3 player sounds naff & eats away at the battery life very quickly. There is no standby display you have to keep sliding the phone open to see the time or if you've received a message/call, ringtones are very limited & message alerts are poor & quiet. The touch keys are very sensitive & it makes me SCREAM (a text message that's taken minutes to write can be deleted in seconds! ) Great looking phone & practical in size but wish I'd stuck with a Nokia. If you decide to go for this phone it needs 16 hours to charge first, the manual does not state this!

I have had this phone for just over 4 months now! I can't really say to much bad about it apart from the fact that the touch keys are very sensitive & are easily pressed by mistake. The camera is just 2.0 megapixels which I suppose is about average. Memory is also limited so purchasing a memory card is well worth it. All other features on the phone are 1st class. I have a number of friends who are fairly envious of the sleek look of this phone. Plus it is tiny & weighs very little. All in all a fabulous phone.

Bought this phone in September it includes touch buttons, it's not very different to any other mobile I guess if it weren't for that. Personally I love the phone never gave me problems, although the touch screen can be annoying at times, you will really notice this when you are trying to take a picture or some video, you always end up by touching one of the buttons & of course it will exit or change something for you whilst taking a shot, this might happen to you whilst writing a text also, not very nice after you spend 5 mins writing the text. Another thing that might affect you people who live in cold places is that you cannot use the phone whilst you are wearing gloves! The buttons won't work, for those who do! This means cold hands whilst sending a text or making a phone call. Not good, also trying to get into the menu whilst making a call requires some skill, seeing you have to stay unlocking the touch sensitive screen, then making sure you don't brush the cut button whilst browsing the phonebook lets say. The phone it self is nothing special & is more of a LOOK AT ME phone than a practical phone. Besides that MP3 player is good, photo & video quality is good, menu & functions are good, memory slot is great upgraded it when I bought it to 1 GB, stores all my photos & videos on it, but you can do that with all phones these days. Also if you want to manage your files you have to install the USB drivers for it which means you cannot use it as a portable storage device. Battery life good reception good, nice clear big screen overall rating 7/10 would I buy it again if I knew all this before. Yes I still would, the phone just has something that makes you fall in love with it, but if you are not a patient person I do not suggest it unless you want to smash it on the floor hehehe, hope I have been helpful.

This phone rates 10 out of 10 for looks but is absolutely bloody useless. Had it for about 3 months now & have come to the conclusion that:
- the camera is so slow, you're guaranteed a blurred picture with the slightest movement of your subject.
- the speaker is tinny so sound is mediocre for your mp3s.
- There are only 2 skins available.
- It cannot ring & vibrate at the same time.
- Still haven't figured out how to pair a Bluetooth headset to it.
- the heat sensitive buttons are oversensitive but the menu system is too slow resulting in either undetected button presses or jumping multiple menus.
- the cancel button is way to close to the navigate button so you can easily delete a whole text message before you get to complete typing it out.
- the worst thing of all is that it suffers from extremely poor reception. It jumps erratically from no reception to about half. In one call it can cut out up to 7 times in 5 minutes of conversation with much of it breaking up anyhow.

My phone has gone back to the shop so they can send it for investigation. There seems to be a batch of these phones with dodgy firmware that may cause the poor reception.

If you're thinking of getting this phone, don't. You have been warned.

This is a really good phone & I can not understand what a lot of people are saying. The design is brilliant, it is full of features, & the downside is the touch screen can get a bit annoying but once you get used to it is fine. People are saying you can not have your own alarm tune or your own ring tone but if you play around with the phone you soon find how to do it. The manual if not too good & misses parts out but you can zoom find them out for your self. Up to know I have not managed to put my own games on to the phone but I am sure there is a way, the downside is that all but 1 of the games on the phone is a demo & you are limited to what you can do. People have all so mentioned that it is hard to get the phone & the computer connected but I did not have this problem & simply used the software that came with the phone. Now the camera, the camera gets a bit of getting used to it does not always focus properly but it does give stunning pictures, the video capture part is good, people have said how the quality is not very good but if you change the setting then all is good & you get good quality videos. The T9 setting is simply to keep on even though people have said you have to turn it on each time you done only the first time. The more you play around with the phone to more you find it can do. People have said that the phone could not handle a 1GB memory stick but for me it works fine. The MP3 player is good, yes you have to put all music in to play lists for it to play but this is not a big problem. There are 4 play lists & each can hold about 30 songs meaning that you can have 120 songs. This is fine because it is not a music phone like the Sony Walkman phones. The last point is that people have said that due to the touch screen calls can end while you are in the middle of a conversation but Samsung have upgraded the software on the phones in the shops now & this is no longer the case

This phone is a very good phone & works very well. I recommend it to everybody, even though this phone has its bad reviews I believe people haven't given time to get used to the phone as it is very different from others but once you get used to it (takes about a week) it is fine.

I am very confused. I have heard so many bad reviews about the sensitive touch screen. But then again so many good ones. Is this just a problem for people with fat fingers as the reviews say? I have also heard many bad reviews about the phone scratching easily. Well every phone scratches any wears whether you want it to or not. I am not sure whether to get the LG chocolate. But have heard that's not the best. Or the Samsung D900 my friend has the Samsung D900 & it doesn't look the best looking phone out well. If I am pretty honest its ugly but. Well. I don't want to buy this phone then find out I have fat fingers & can't use it. I have also heard that there are faulty phones. But I am not too bothered about that because you can always return it to the shop & get a new one. I think I am going to get this mobile for Christmas but also people have been mentioning that the MP3 doesn't work to the standard they would like I would just like to say that there is a clear film over the speaker that needs to be removed. That's what I heard anyway. I think I am going to get this phone well I have spent all this time writing a review for it so might as well get one now.

But if someone could please comment back on whether I should get the LG Chocolate, Samsung D900 or this one

Please reply Vicki. X

I have had my phone for just over a week now & find it very reliable to use. Every time I venture on to it I find something new about it, it's great! Sure there's the few problems but isn't there with any make or manufacturer. You just get use to it! The only problem I have is the scratches. Everyone expects them but when their there you regret not looking after it properly & think it looks a bit trampy! But you just get on with it. If I was to say to anyone buying this phone go ahead it's a great phone the best I have bought. Just look after it! X x x

I bought this phone after falling in love with the look of it & I was very impressed with the functions & styling. Had the phone for 4 weeks & am now so wounded as the touch screen front won't light up or work. I took it to the repair centre this morning & man there says I need a whole new LCD front. He says this is this first time he has seen this fault without the screen been damaged. Probably take a fortnight to repair as they are waiting for parts to arrive from Samsung. But I suppose you get a fault with any phone you can buy just disappointed it happened so soon after buying.

If you want an honest review then here we go. I have had the Samsung e900 for about 1 month now. It's an OK phone not the best but not the worst. It has all the basic functions you'd expect from a modern phone. The touch keys are a nice feature, but to be honest I think this was Samsung trying to show off. THEY CAN be high-resolution, nothing really stands out. You get the usual MP3, camera, calendar etc. Usability again 70% because of the touch keys. Oh if you were wondering not all the keys are touch keys, the num pad is just normal keys.

Hope this helps, Thanks

I upgraded from a Nokia 6111 & was expecting a really cool phone. I was so disappointed from the getgo. The soft touch keys are so sensitive you only need to look at it then it connects to the server. The whole software is so un-user friendly I can't see how anyone has given this phone a good review. I changed the phone to a Sony K800i & what a giant leap in experience this phone is. Amazing user friendly software great ringtones & looks the business. I would say to anyone what is thinking about getting this phone try it out first because living with this for at least 1 year would drive anyone crazy.

I as very put off getting this phone as I read the reviews but I am glad I stuck to my choice now it has arrived. I just wanted to leave a review to make a point on ever bad thing I have read so far!

- the sound is 'tinny', can I remind you it is a PHONE if you wanted it so badly for an MP3 player, don't be so tight & buy one as that is the point!

- can't do long videos, go to camcorder settings & change recording mode to normal & not limit for multimedia. The camera is very good but you have to make sure your still while taking your picture otherwise it is blurry, but I have found this with ANYOTHER camera phone. The video isn't the best & could be improved as I think the video was better on my d600, but I have only tried it at night so far!

- There appears to be many people with fat fingers out there or something, I have found no problem with room on the keypad.

- Some people whinge about being sick of slide phones - why bother writing a review? Just get one that isn't? !

- Touch screen, yes sometimes it is unresponsive but just press it again! There are many worse things that could be wrong with it. It does cancel easily when you mean to press back in menus but you are taken back to the same point on the menu again any way

- Only 2 skin options, but the black looks that good, why change, surely the phone memory is more useful else where than on loads of skins. & anyway, the different colours on the previous Samsung phones were a waste of time

- People keep saying you can't use your own tunes for incoming calls; well I managed it so it appears you are wrong!

- People seem to go on the Internet by 'accidentally pressing the middle button' thinking it is the menu button, why can't they just press to button with 'menu' written above it? !

If you have had a Samsung before, a few things haven't been improved such as ring & vibrate at same time but on this phone you can't have a song as your alarm unlike my old d600 which isn't great but you turn your alarm off when it goes off so I don't see the big deal.

As you can see, all the negative reviews are very petty, half the stuff people moan about, if they had a flick through the manual it would be sorted. Many people do seem to be writing in with faulty phones though, but I seem to be lucky. But surely this is true for any technical thing really, there always seems to be a bad batch. People are singing the praises of Sony Ericsson; I had one & had to get it changed 4 times in a month due to the joystick in the middle breaking on all of them. Anyone else I have spoken to who had that phone had the same problem. So it is the same everywhere!

So if you cannot read, have fat fingers & are too tight to buy a MP3 player, this phone is not for you!

Had the E900 for 6 months having always had Nokia previously. Good Looking with excellent features although I found Nokia far easier to use, especially the camera function. Easy to make & take calls & no problems surfaced at all with phone or software. However - marks very easily, both finger marks & scratches on cover. Sometimes difficult to slide open. Can only select vibrate or ring tone, not both together & vibrate hardly noticeable, hence easy to miss calls in noisy atmosphere. Text messages a nightmare with sensitive buttons. Too easy to write message & then touch wrong button & lose all. Buttons much too sensitive. All in all I wish I had stuck with Nokia or gone for Sony Ericsson.

As a computer science person, I have use E900 for 2 months. The bad file system makes me feel shame for the mobile operating system designers.

- Lack of importing of MP3 songs from memory directly ---although songs can be added into play list, then playing, but each play list can only store limit number of songs. When I made the MicroSD memory card full of mp3s, I had to split them into 3 to 4 play lists. & there is ONLY ONE play list can be played each time;

- Impossible mission of editing images outside the 'my photos' folder --- once you have moved your taken photo into another folder, such like the folder in the MicroSD memory card, you can NEVER edit the photo using the again. Why I use NEVER? 1st, there is no 'edit' option when opening images outside 'my photo' folder; 2nd, Application>Image editor can only load image from 'my photos' (this is one of the most silly point of this phone); 3rd, images do not allowed to MOVE BACK to 'my photos'.

- Deadly slow rate for reading file from MicroSD memory card --- although this is an acceptable shortage from hardware;

- Videos & photos only being save on phone when taken, NOT the MicroSD memory card. ---What about if I am taking a long video which is larger than the memory of the phone?

Over all, I just have the feeling that the project schedule made programmers have to cheat their boss somehow when submitting the software work.

Conclusion: Designer's idea is implemented in a cheating way.

The buttons are great, it just takes a bit of getting used to. The phone doesn't switch off itself!

I got the pink E900 today & I cant put it down I love it, the touch buttons taking a bit of getting used to but great after having a play around with it. As for T9 not staying on, press & hold star key when you first write a text & it auto goes back to it when writing texts again. The screen & camera resolution is really clear the editing software is great, already have uploaded my own animated screensaver. For me the 2 things that let it down is the black screen when not in use, one looks off & the fact it has 2 skins black or white (both with Orange bars) needs a bit more colour.

Looks great, promises so so much, then as soon as I turned it on I was let down. 2 skin options, black or white, nothing else!!! I've had it for 2months, it's a disaster, I've spent the past 2 weeks emailing o2 trying to get the Sony Ericsson k800i, I hear you can watch sky TV on it, is this true? the Samsung is awful, don't get it, I know cos it looks so slim & perfect that you will get it, don't be fooled, Samsung should not cash in on such a bad phone, Sony Ericsson all the way!!!!

This fone is amazin!!!!! A was gettin a new fone cause the arial in ma Nokia 3220 went wako!! So a was to get the D500 but the place a was to get it from discontinued it, WRONG IDEA!!!! So then I got the Samsung E900 & it was the best thing I had ever done!!! It looks good, the camera is amazin! And the memory is MASSIVE!!! I have 12 songs 31 photos & 1 video & a still have thousands of memory AND get a micro SD card in it & I have even more memory it's so great!!!

First Samsung I have had so has taken me a while to get used to the controls but there top notch, the menu's are easy to use & features great. The down side is it's small but hey I can live with it. I used to always stick to Nokia phone's but I had four (yes four) 6280 in six months which has sort off put me off having another for a while anyway the screen on them kept failing with internal bleeds. Got this on the Vodafone rep's recommendation, I for one am very impressed but it doesn't take a lot to impress me. On a one to ten rating I would give it 9

Got it on a free upgrade. Just a couple of gripes about this phone. Firstly, the poor storage space of messages. Only 20 before you have to start deleting. Also the battery life wasn't too hot. Another annoying feature was I couldn't set the phone to ring & vibrate at the same time. And the games were only demos & cost £3 for the full game. Other than that, the features weren't bad. The touch sensitive buttons weren't too hard to get the hang off. But I did turn round & sell it after a week to go back to my k750i.

Had this fone for a couple of days now, here's what I think.

Touch Screen, a lot of people say it's really easy to make a mistake but when your play around & discover the phone it's really quite easy to get the hang of. And if u accidentally deletes your message you're writing it's not that bad as it always gets saved in drafts.

USB & MP3, I've been using the USB cable to get tracks off my itunes to my fone, its takes a few minutes but sound very good.

Camera & Video, the camera is very good but u have to make sure your still taking your picture over wise blurry. The video is OK, could be improved.

Charging, battery life isn't very long but it depends how much you use Bluetooth & MP3 ECT...

Overall I really like this phone & would recommend it!

This may sound like an absurd thing, but you know every1 says they are having problems with texting & deleting it, but I was just wandering whether you would skip this problem if you were left handed, cos surely you'd use a different hand to text with.

Its a bit annoying that u cant set it onto ring & vibrate at the same time & u can only chose black or white for the skin while all the older Samsung phones have different colors but I think its a bril phone I'm happy I bought it & haven't found any problems so far apart from my little picky bits.

Got this phone today & had many doubts in my mind, but after using it for twelve hours I could roll over & rub my belly with joy!! it's a classy phone, opening mechanism feels awesome, contrary to what I've read elsewhere, you push it gently & it feels as thought the phone is helping you open it, its a really nice feeling, it feels solid & well constructed. the handset looks beautiful & is a nice compact form, the touch sensitive cancel key is annoying at first but what new phone isn't until you get used to it, & it does not destroy the pleasure of the phone, this problem is insignificant, I can imagine I'm going to get even faster texts out with this handset, this handset does demand some practice to use cos its a slightly different set up from hard buttons but its well worth the time, I'm loving it, the way it looks, the way it opens, the software seems solid, the bundled pc software is dreamily easy & pleasant to use... this is my first Samsung handset & I am majorly impressed.

After reading some of the reviews, I must say I love this phone. It looks great & after only having it one day I am use to the touch sensitive buttons. I can see what people mean about accidentally cancelling when texting but just don't put your finger over that button, simple! One thing I don't like is the fact that when you receive a text message the name of the sender comes up on the screen for all to see. Does anyone know if you can change that so it doesn't? I used to have a D900 & like all the others, you couldn't see who the message was from until you went in the inbox. I appreciate if anyone can help.

As for the question about changing the videoing time to be as long as you want, go to camcorder settings & change recording mode to normal & not limit for multimedia.

Got the phone on contract, loved the look of it & the idea of touch sensitive buttons. I WAS WRONG! With my first e900 I couldn't receive a text or a call if I was on the menu (or doing anything with the phone). With my second e900, the same problem came up. Took it back again, problem solved. BUT with this one the camera was not working, if I tried to take a picture it would say, no memory & freeze. I would have to take the battery out to restart it. Took it back a gain & got a fourth e900. This one was fine, except that night went on camera & it just turned off. And I couldn't turn it back on!! I got through 4 e900's in exactly 2 weeks!! Sending it back & getting a Nokia. A RELIABLE PHONE!! The touch sensitive buttons are good, but really easy to accidentally push them. If you're some where on menu you can accidentally press exit. It's just annoying!! Some of my mates have had to take theirs back as well. My advice, don't get it. Looks good, works bad.

I've had this phone one day & I have to agree with the others who say it's very easy to press cancel with the middle of your thumb when navigating. I found a way of getting around this partly by using the phone when it's closed to navigate the menus. Obviously you can't do this whilst texting/dialling but you can do it using everything else as you can unlock the phone by briefly pressing the power button when it is closed. This way the middle of your thumb does not lie over the cancel button as it would when the phone is open. (Try it, you'll see what I mean.) I'm disappointed that I can't use a downloaded real tone as my ringtone (the default ringtones are worse than ever) as that's the whole idea isn't it? Also it should be able to vibrate & ring at the same time by now, come on Samsung.

However I would recommend the phone for it's very aesthetically pleasing sleek, slender, light design; innovative touchpad (although slightly frustrating at first, you will get used to it if you give it a chance;) great camera & mp3 player; easy to navigate menus; stylish themes (no brash bold colours anymore although you can only choose between black & white) & excellent screen size & picture quality.

Overall a thumbs up from me, but only after the learning curve - it's not for the quick tempered.

Of course havin it a fu days I havnt been able 2 put it down but even I can admit in a month r so the novelty wil hav worn off, but still I will always listen 2 da mp3 player, use the camera, bluetooth, txt & make calls etc. I AM NOT JOKIN if u want a gud fone 4gt da LG CHOCLIT u hav 2 av da Samsung e900!

If you want a phone that will drive you to distraction by kicking you back to the main screen when you try & navigate the menu-this is the phone for you! However, if you prefer a phone that you can actually use without wanting to launch it, then definitely do not buy this phone.

Just bought this one after my Samsung D600 was stolen :( . IT looks amazing. (I think amazing is an understatement). Features are good. Maybe a radio would a have made the phone near perfect. Usability however is one big issue. The touch pad is ridiculous. As mentioned before, I end up making unwanted calls or deleting my carefully typed messages. I miss my old phone now. But I am hoping, the superior design will make me change my mind soon. In the meanwhile, if anybody gets a call from me at absurd hours, please forgive me :p

Such a shame, I've read all of the comments & have come to one conclusion. The Korean version of the E900 is different from the UK version. I have never had any of the problems with my phone cept the fact that it did not ring & vibrate at the same time. That I have forgiven since it's not such a big deal. I live in Toronto Canada & have ordered this phone STRAIGHT from Korea. Therefore, made in Korea. Very durable. I've dropped it 2 times within the period of 2-3 months & hasn't been scratched yet. This is truly an amazing phone. And another thing, for ppl who are over sensitive over the sensitive button issue, THEN CHANGE YOUR PHONES! Don't come here & complain about this amazing phone. Cause we over here love it & UK phones are probably worse than Korean phones, because this phone originated from Korea. I've made my point....

I think it is such a gr8 design & the memory on the phone is SUPER!!! there is only 2 slightly annoying things & that is the delay after you take a picture is really long. Also I can only take a video for 18 seconds? does anyone else have this problem or is it just me??? But overall, a fantastic phone!!!!!!!!

Phone & its design look very good! The features are great, especially if you would compare them to previous Samsung phones. Usability of E900 is ok, however there are few things that could be improved. I guess few things like sms typing & internet connections could be improved! Of course the design of E900 is fantastic, it looks so great. The display is very good, & its camera does some great shots! I think that if u want to by that phone, go ahead, there is nothing really important that could stop you!

After using the SE Z520i I was getting excited about this phone, I'm not going to complain about the touch pad but the 'freedom' of the phone. Using a phone it should be essential for the user to have the 'freedom' to manage their files etc... This makes the user-friendly factor very limited/low.

- You cannot move files to ALL folders (only certain ones).
- You can't even create a new folder.
- You cannot change your MSG tone with your own mp3 tune.
- BATT life is too low & takes ages to re-charge.

And this is going to end up destroying the phone's pixels, when you charge the phone the screen lights up & simply stays lit up.

Don't get me wrong this is a good phone but if you can't live with the above factors don't bother with this.

Whoever designed this phone was definitely concentrating on form & not function.

The phone looks absolutely superb &, on the whole, I got on ok with the touch sensitive buttons.

BUT, everything else was a complete nightmare!! Everything was so complicated & sending a text was just ridiculous. The fact that you have to turn on predictive text every time you start a message, & then keep turning it on every time you use some punctuation is crazy. Plus, why when you select T9Abc mode did it not put a capital letter after a full stop?!

Two other bug-bears:
1) Only one ringtone & one message tone as standard & I couldn't find a way to even change the message tone to one I downloaded!
2) Why can't this phone cope with playing a sound & vibrating at the same time??

Come on Samsung!! This is basic stuff surely!!

Anyway, I kept it for a day & then gave up - I'm now awaiting a SE k610i.

I disagree with many of the reviews on here. This phone is a work of art, it's stunningly beautiful with extraordinary features that you will no doubt enjoy to the full. It is easy to control & the touch-pads are a great added extra. The music player plays with a high quality sound & has the ability to play many different formats of music files. The E900 has a great 2.0 megapixel camera with flash & 4x zoom that takes wicked snaps when & wherever you want. I am on vodaphone & my phone always has full or close to full signal, no fault there then like many others have said there is. When texting it does not strain your hand at all to reach the bottom keys & it is very easy to change to non-predictive text, just hold down the * button on the bottom left of the handset. If you give the phone a day or so of getting used to, you will never accidentally delete the whole message either. This phone is top draw & I loved it ever since I first laid eyes on it, I would recommend it to anyone!

Reviewer: Wingy - Manchester, UK
Date: 8th Aug 2006

It appears that this is a bit of a 'love it or hate it'. Whilst I can understand the criticism this phone receives, I personally love it. I've had this phone for about 6-7 weeks having had an E800, D500 & D600 in recent years & here are my observations based on other people's comments/gripe/difficulties:

Texting - I do find it a little annoying that the buttons aren't as responsive as what I've been used to, since I've picked up the knack of speed texting. Just gotta be a bit more careful of where you put your right thumb (i.e. not hovering over the cancel key!). I'm not a fan of predictive texting so can't comment on having (or not having as its seems) the T9 as a default setting.

Camera - It is a little slow to take snaps & the subject needs to be very still. But once you get it, it's a pretty decent quality.

MP3 - I think it does the job. I wouldn't expect super quality sound from a mobile phone anyway so I do think expectations may be too high from some people in this aspect (I've not own a walkman phone, so I may be totally wrong on this).

MMS - Up until last week I had problems receiving MMS. I'm on O2 & it took a couple of calls to get it sorted out where the operator had to go through the settings with me one by one. But you should be able to get the right settings now if you call up your service provider.

Alarm - I've not managed to find the snooze function on this yet. Given that the buttons are touch sensitive when the alarm goes off, a slight accidental touch will switch it off & you wouldn't even know!

Ending call - After you finish your call, press the central navigation key to "unlock" the keypad & then press cancel - Done.

Download message tone - ok, accepted. It's disappointing that you can't download your own message tones & most of the ones on the phone are poxy. But not exactly a deal breaker.

Like a lot of people, I wanted a phone which had everything. Style as well as substance, but I felt that options are very limited. Ultimately it's what you want to get out of the phone. Whilst having every function possible on a phone can be great, I'd probably stop using most of them within 3 months anyway cos the novelty wears off. I think it looks really cool, have had no problems with call clarity, can send messages fine & learnt to accept those minor irks.

I read all the negative reviews about this phone but still followed my instinct & got it.

This phone is all about looking good. But it does do everything else to some extent (will elaborate further down). All the reports about it cutting off phone conversation...well I have not had that problem... Text messaging...the first few times it did cut of my message...but it does have the politeness of asking me if I want to save it. I don't have that problem now...though. The camera is 2 mega pix. Which is really good. It had an SD memory card slot...u do not get a free memory card. Also you don't get that big loudspeaker thing that the d500 was supplied with. I found that useful when driving. functions...as I said before it does everything....BUT you have to mess around a lot before u can get it to do something...e.g. loudspeaker when on a call...the d500 was easy to put on load speak...it is more difficult on this model. The camera can be quite frustrating...u have to do it slowly & even now if I accidentally touch the front it will loose the camera interface. The button for taking picture can be the centre button or the side button (which is really small). And you have to concentrate on what you're doing. This phone is not for the type of people who are really into taking pictures a lot (i.e. spontaneous) or clumsy. You do have to concentrate on what you're pressing. Trying to operate this phone while drunk will be a challenge.
I'm gonna keep mine as I just use my phone for making calls, text messaging & the very occasional pictures. It looks good & does loads of things. However, it is not everyone's cup of tea.

N.b. if Samsung want to improve this model. They should put it in a metallic cover, make the camera button easier to use & put a radio into the phone, & make the touch button function light up in nice colours! Now that would be a quality phone!!

I was really excited about this phone as it was packed full of features. It was fine for the first week or so. But then I noticed some issues... firstly, although the camera is 2MP, it lacks auto-focus which can really ruin those great moments. Also the shutter delay is a problem as well. The earphones on the music player are awful - very 'tinny' & you can't use your own. A massive difference from my W800i. I understand that it's not a designated Walkman phone but it shouldn't have to be - nokia do ok without the branding... I'm also in agreement about the touch-pad; it's too sensitive. Wiping messages & cancelling calls by accident is extremely irritating. Finally is anyone having issues with the battery? It doesn't seem to be holding a charge anymore - its only 6 weeks old too! And yes it was charged for 16 hrs when bought etc.

Oh, now got a k800i & couldn't be happier. Should have stuck with SE in the first place...

Samsung have gone way out of their league here. Have crammed soooooo much tech stuff into this fone that they have forgot that people need to send text & ring out. Have only had this phone a few days & I have not managed to make ONE phone call. My area I live in receives signal ok & I could send text & ring out before on my nokia but this just takes the mick. Messages constantly failing etc. Touch sensitive buttons are bit difficult, just have to learn to handle with very much care or you cancel everything out. Keypad not the best to write a txt on but gotten used to that already. All in all...... good looking fone, but it is a fashion accessory only not for constant use.

This is without a doubt the most beautiful handset I have ever owned. It is so sleek & stylish & it has the most wonderful sliding action when you open & close it.

Unfortunately, that's where it ends. After 7 years of mobile phone ownership, I can honestly say I have never found something so difficult to use. I have quite small fingers really, & yet I accidentally cancel whatever I'm doing about 15 times per day because the button is way oversensitive & in a stupid place. And then I go on the internet by accident because the stupid button in the middle which you would expect to take you to the menu, takes you to the web browser.

You cannot custom set this middle button to do something else, neither can you turn down the sensitivity of the cancel button (oh & did I mention it makes this annoying noise everytime it happens - & you cannot switch this off).

Also, you have to set it to predictive text everytime you start a text message (there's no option to change this permanently), then you have to confirm about six times before it actually sends (that is, if you get that far without accidentally cancelling).

There is a 2 mega pixel camera which takes quite nice videos (if you can avoid that cancel button), but i never managed to get decent photos - they were always a bit out of focus.

The music player is quite fancy, but the equalizer is quite limited, & I didn't find the sound quality that satisfying (& you cannot use your own headphones). Nothing compares to the Sony walkman phones in this respect I'm afraid.

I thought I might get used to it, but after two weeks of solid use (or trying to use), the phone has driven me insane to the point where I have decided to return it. Here is an indicator - I had given up swearing this year, but this phone has made the habit return big time.

It's such a shame. Such a beautiful phone but another minute of trying to use the thing, & I would have ended up smashing it up.

Do not get this handset unless you are looking for a trophy phone which you will never use.

Got my E900 after straying away from flip phones (had an E720). Shame I did.

Problems like most people with accidentally hitting the cancel button whilst texting. Texting not too easy as phone is thin & I get cramp in my thumb trying to text on the nearer keys. Hassle trying to disconnect after making a phone call as I have the touch keys on the front deactivated (to prevent me accidentally hitting them on). You have to unlock the keys with the power button, then press & hold the cancel key. Takes about 20 seconds to end a call! MAJOR problems with MMS. Spent about 3 hrs on the phone to o2, visited the stores, spoken with Samsung. Can send MMS OK, but not receive. Everyone giving different answers from it being an old tariff (SIM still receives ok in old handset!), the settings not being right (tried about 10 settings sent, manually inputted them, tried ones from Samsung), No one seems to know & no one seems to be able or bothered to help.

Looks a nice phone & it has image editor, a decent camera, but half wishing I'd not upgraded to it.

I think the look of this phone is great, but the practicality of it leaves something to be desired, better to hold than the 'chocolate phone' but equally as annoying, having to reset predictive text every time you go into messages, & fear of touching the touch screen because one false move & it takes you back to the start. I have just been turned to the darkside... I have bought a Sony Ericsson k610i it is a good phone, basically I think the e900 & LG are ahead of their time, when they have had a couple of upgrades of this phone maybe it will be worth getting.

An example of form over function. The touch sensitive controls seem great until it activates what you don't want when you don't need it. But if you forgive this, you'll wonder why the internal keys are still mechanical. The built-in facilities are good though, so if you prefer to have a phone that looks good rather than works well - buy & keep it. I returned mine.

I found this phone hard to get used to the touch sensitive keys were very sensitive. Also when charging the phone the back light seems to stay on & the phone gets hot. The slide feature is good but feels a bit wobbly as if it might fall apart. Sending the phone back as not really happy with it there are better Samsung phones on the market.

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PHONE. HAD IT TWO DAYS & JUST HAD ENOUGH OF IT. THE TOUCH SCREEN IF ACCIDENTY TOUCHED ALWAYS RETURN YOU TO THE MAIN MENU, IT CUTS YOU OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF CALLS & WHEN TEXTING IF TOUCHED LOSES YOUR MESSAGE. ALSO NOT EASY TO TEXT & NOT VERY SIMPLE OR EASY TO USE (LIKE A NOKIA!) IT WOULDNT RING & VIBRATE AT THE SAME TIME & MOST ANNOYING THING WAS THE SCREEN IT WENT BLANK AFTER BEING CLOSED. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TURNED OFF & YOU CAN NEVER TELL IF YOU HAVE HAD A MISSED CALL OR A TEXT. BASICALLY THIS PHONE IS NOT GOOD!!!!

I really like the look of this phone, & generally happy with all the features EXCEPT it does not seem to stay on predictive text, I have to reset each time I go in to write a message. This is amazingly annoying!

The overall design of the phone is good, but it takes a bit of getting use to the sensitive touch screen controls. I have had the phone over 2 weeks now & have already managed to scratch the screen.

The list of features on this phone is very impressive. There is something here for everyone.

Couple of slight issues with this phone. You have to go through quite a few screens in order to send a text message. Also camera takes a while to load up, & there is a lag between pressing the shutter button & the image being captured.

All in all, good quality phone, with a couple of issues.

Really disappointed with this phone. I was really excited when I bought it, however apparently major problems with internet at moment (on orange that is ) & battery life is meant to be far longer than my old d500 .however on my 1st day using it, I talked for 3 hours in total & the battery went dead. This will be a great phone but it isn't quite ready yet. So back to my trust d500 at the moment now that is a great phone.

I'm looking to use this phone as access for the email & internet on a boat - there are no reviews from anyone to say how it is - more opinions please - other than that the features look excellent along with its design & colouring my last phone was a nokia 5 years ago & its still working but my needs have changed will this last as long? - the deals that come with it are frills which I don't want - can anyone advise on its reliability???

Hi I think this phone is great - just got it today but does anyone know how to turn the screensaver off that comes on when you don't use the phone for a while?? I keep thinking my phone is turned off all the time...I want it to display the time as a screensaver & tell me if I've got a text message through or if I've missed a call.

Thanks

This is a nice phone. It is quite annoying to use when you first start trying to send messages from it as you can EASILY accidentally go straight back to the main screen & lose your entire text without warning. I've got used to it now though. Word seems to be getting around that there is a batch that _DO_ have reception problems. It can take ages to send a message & connection problems are rife when dialing out. It is also important to stress that because of these problems, sometimes inbound calls will go STRAIGHT to answerphone. Good luck getting a working one! Hehe -- as a tip though.. newly designed boxes have been circulated & these have the problems ironed out. The boxes are kind of flat & long with a flip-top.

Nice looking phone. Not sure about the touch buttons. If you brush your finger on one of them it does it. Often calling people when you don't want to & deleting messages half way through writing them! Also the light stays on when you are charging which isn't very useful when you are trying to sleep! part from that looks great, clear when talking on the phone, great applications.

Unfortunately I broke my VERY reliable Samsung e720, I am sooo annoyed as it was the best phone I have ever had. After looking around I think I will defiantly get this fone I quite liked the lg chocolate but my friend has it & this is very similar &, in my opinion the best phone manufacturer has made it!!!

Don't no if my phone was duff, but every time I went into menu the phone came up with limited services & people ringing went straight to answer phone. Every time I tried to send a message, it took a minute, & half the time failed. Even though I had full signal. Same as when I rang people took ages to connect. But most of the time failed. Beautiful phone & easy to use. But a big disappointment when it came to using it. Very frustrating & had to send it back.

Like this phone so much & I am going to get it tomorrow. I liked the LG Chocolate but I really want to stick to Samsung or Nokia phones. I have used 2 Nokias & 3 Samsung phones & I have no complaints on any of them, although one of the Nokia phones did have annoying faults that became frustrating, freezing screen & not responding to commands. I am so excited about getting the E900 & will be playing with it by this time tomorrow, I will be downloading music & videoing everything that moves. I will be filling up the 80 MB of memory sooner than expected. Exciting hey.
