I have this model for more than 6 months now & I think it is a very good phone. It has a very sleek design with standard Samsung features which are user friendly. Yes, there are rooms for improvement but to be fair, I had been totally satisfied.

I have had this phone now for a couple of months. My first impressions were that it looks good & nice design. My only one question is how long are you supposed to charge this phone for? On my previous Nokia phones I have had once you charged it fully overnight, if you try & put the charging cable on it says battery full. On this one it shows the battery bar going across.

I don't actually have this phone my mum does but it was the only good one for the upgrade so she chose it, the touch pad it prone to scratch!

- Week 1, loved it.
- Week 2, the smile techno won't take the pictures.
- Week 3, scratched & scraped.
- Week 4, she wants the 18 month over!

SHE HATES IT!

Well my father gave this phone to me. Phone screen scratch prone you must buy a screen protector. I loved the design although I prefer clam designed phones. Voice clarity & sound is excellent. One thing I hated was the navigation touch pad as it reacts slower then me & my fingers were prone to pressing the wrong keys in haste. This maybe a plus point for some people who like to have fun with their phones.

I wished it did not have a navigation touch pad I would give it 100% all the way!

Excellent phone, could be better, my one had no games in it, camera is very good but at times taking pictures a bit flimsy, you're trying to focus on taking the picture & you may accidentally brush against the touch screen part which ends up changing the brightness, flash etc, also there is a slight delay in pressing the button & then taking the shot you wanted.

Seems to be a great phone but heard that there is some problem with its touch navigation which reqiures even manual confirmation.
