A second camera which is situated discretely on the front of the handset allows the user to use the second camera for 3G video calling. The second camera is small & situated above the large colour screen which is ideal for capturing the user's expressions during a 3G video call.

Good looking phone but rubbish battery. Sent for a replacement but it was just as bad. If I had known I would not have bought it.

Does what it says on the box really.

- It is advertised with a flash but does not have one.
- I have had to send this back due to freezing screens.
- After a year quite a robust phone for a basic entry phone.
- Battery life is average if you are not using applications.
- Instruction booklet is useless.

Not a bad little phone.

Here in South Africa the phone never sold well, which is understandable since its launch worldwide was rather quiet, it is being discontinued so its price is really low, I've bought it as an extra phone to my N73, I love the design, I am not a fan of Samsung & hate the brand but with this phone looking very different from there other mobiles I must applaud their design team for this rare masterpiece with good mid range specs & ability to hold a 4gig micro SD HC memory card, fantastic job, overall 9 out of 10 thanks to its design.

I absolutely love this phone to bits, I charge it every night & the battery is great for the next day. The camera is very clear in fact all the features are fabulous. One thing, once a micro SD card is added, the music gets mixed up with the ringtones.

Would recommend this phone to anyone.

Reviewer: Ejv - Colwyn Bay, UK

In UK, this is a 3 network exclusive handset.

This is a fabulous & beautifully designed baby, almost a little sibling to their F400 slider.
Smooth sliding mechanism, crisp & large display, large keys & absence of any irritable touch sensitive keys are my favourites.

I do not use the phone for photos or music & can't comment on these issues.

Nobody's perfect, the biggest drawback is its appalling battery life, the comeuppance for manufacturing such a slim slider. Poor reception areas & 3G surfing drains its battery like sipping a lemonade! It doesn't matter to me as I reach home & plug it every night.

A lovable little phone.

Happy customer.

I love this phone, I have had it for over a month now & it has worked perfectly, the battery isn't brilliant (2 days) but I forgive it because its beautiful & works well. Very easy to use & the camera is great.

Rubbish I am on the second phone as had to send last one back as with 3 network but kept getting Orange! Oh new phone in for repair as screen has completely frozen at the Samsung start up loading page! Want to send it back as its naff, looks lovely but not up to other Samsung standards.

& to the person asking how to change text tone it took me ages to work it out. Go to profiles i.e. outdoor, silent etc etc, select options & click edit, change ring tone etc, click to the right & you will see text settings & mail settings, hope you sort it.

Not a bad phone but the only fault I can find at the moment is that there is no setting menu to add or change the only message tone which is also very quiet & short. Any help would be grateful.
