This mobile is a very best & sleek model. The unique feature with the Samsung i450 is the two way slider mechanism, in principle somewhat similar to the Nokia N95. However, instead of revealing a set of multimedia keys, the SGH i450 has a speaker that pops out of the top instead. Samsung i450 mobile better for Nokia n95 & price.

It is very good phone tough. It's camera is not bad, in night yes, because it needs light. In video recording? IT IS the BEST for a 2MP phone. & the navigation pad, the touch pad. It need harder because to track your way better, because if it will going to be so smooth its harder to push to play it will just slide down or up the another track.

That's all, overall it's better than n81.

I have seen this handset & also heard the surround sound of it. It's really amazing, & cool phone. Especially I am looking for Blue coloured phone. Its Blue circumference glowing on entertainment option is truly a good look for the phone. I am looking to buy it in the coming week, let's hope some more colours are also added in this version.

I love the way this phone looks & works. I just admire at the sight of Symbian. Only thing I'd say it lacks is a better camera but in saying that am the type of person that doesn't care about such things & would rather have a handy 10MP camera instead. Also a better camera would mean that the phone would be priced even higher. Not a good thing is it? Moving on to the good stuff, it has B&O's Speakers! WOW! Even better a cool click wheel! Now enough of this. I just want to know when the phone will be released in the UK!

Reviewer: Omk Are H - Goa, India

Well, I am looking for a good music phone for around 10 to 15 granda (Indian rupees). The phone should also have a reasonably good camera. This, i450 looks good & I was most impressed by its sliding speaker function.

But I am not sure about its cost & usability, so I'll wait for a while. The other phones on my mind are Nokia 5700 & Sony Ericsson K810i because it comes with 2GB card which I can use for music & it also has a good camera. The 5700 sounds great though. As you can figure out I am confused!
