The Samsung F200 is an ultra slim mobile phone which will catch potential user's eye with its small streamline casing. The phone is slim & thin which comes with a user friendly swivel opening mechanism. The phone comes with a 1.4 Inch colour screen which when in the closed position covers the entire cover of the casing & when the handset is swiveled open the user can access the slim but useable keypad. The Samsung F200 will fit into the user's life beautifully, as well as fitting into the user's bag or pocket with ease.

I should say that this phone is not bad, with such interesting design. But the bad point is, it had to be fully open before you can answer the phone, especially quite unfriendly when you only have one hand to answer the call. Overall, I like it because I prefer non-camera phones. Cheers!

Simply said, in my eyes this mobile is wasted money.

Manual is the worst I have ever seen, you have no chance to copy a MP3 ringtone to the mobile itself, it can only be stored on the micro sd & only in the 'music' part. The built-in tones are rubbish & not worth hearing, they make you really ill. Also missing a voice command in any case when you try to use the phone in a car, you have to take it into your hands, very bad & dangerous.

Result: if someone likes a MP3-Player with attached phone, buy it. If you like to have a good phone with MP3 Player, buy Sony Ericsson or Motorola, with this one here, you will make a mistake.
