Reviewer: Stavros - London, UK

Just a quick review & note to Lewis from UK, I had the same issue with the flash blur & picture quality, then when looking closer there is a clear protective film (like the front when new) over the camera lens that was still there (dear me) Once removed pictures & flash images are crystal clear.

On the review side I have had Nokia's for the past 5 years so the menu system was different, but usable, 3 problems I have noticed in 2 months.

- I have had some people in hands-free (speaker option) made calls saying they cannot hear me or darlek speech.
- It has a more frequently loss of connection compared to Nokia's.
- the supplied headset & charger share the same port, so if the battery runs out you have to wait for recharge?
- the top headset connector (standard headphone pin) does not allow radio to work.

On the whole a good phone I hope, early days.

I personally think this phone is great, although the memory is not great, but you can buy an SD card so that solves that! I did want to get a touch screen phone, but thought I best not, as it's just another thing to go wrong! It's a lush little phone, & the wheel is a great idea! Makes searching for things a lot quicker! I did have a Sony Ericsson w900i & that was a super phone! Until it went wrong & kept turning itself off! Oh well, I am very happy with my purchase of the F400 & think that it's much louder than the Walkman phones too!

AWFUL PHONE. Stay well away from it. The camera for a 3MP was very poor & worse than some VGA phone cameras that I have had in the past & the flash when using it in low light just turns the captured image all a sky blue led colour so you can barely make out the image & the iPod like music wheel can be tricky to use. If you want a phone that can hold a good number of MP3's & just want to text & call then the phones fine but if you want to take pictures & have a mid ranged camera phone avoid it like the plague.

I have had this phone a week now. I have given it 95% because I think it would be unrealistic to give any phone 100% because there will always be something you like more about one phone than another.

I have been wondering if I should have waited & got the G600 which was out of stock at the time. But I know now that I DID make the right choice. The sound is excellent, & also LOUD, much louder than other phones I have had. It looks good & I am proud to carry it around. I particularly love the butterfly, sliding image feature in standby. To set this up you go into Settings, Display then Wallpaper. Then go to My Screen. The scrolling wheel makes searching through for a particular photo or track nice & easy. Though I don't use it an awful lot.

I also have a U600 & that has a sunlight setting so you can always see your phone no matter how bright the sun is. Only wish my F400 had this. Then again, perhaps you can adjust the brightness & this may help. Not tried that.

I love the music recognition feature. This, in my opinion, is better than the one found on certain Sony Ericsson phones.

I don't have any complaints other than when receiving items by Bluetooth you cannot save directly to the memory card but have to manually move it. But hey, that is only a minor thing. The camera is good, video good & more responsive than my U600 which can take forever to take a photo due to the autofocus which the F400 also has but copes with it much better for some reason.

I definitely recommend this phone. It has video calling which I will never use but find it maybe a little slow when using the Internet. But that may be down to the network (Virgin) & not the phone.

BUY IT & TRY IT & SEE WHAT I MEAN!

Try this phone, you will not be disappointed.
