Samsung Steel 3G Phone Review

This gorgeous looking 3G mobile phone comes with a steel casing which oozes sophistication. The Samsung Steel is available exclusively to the Vodafone network. The Steel comes with a slide opening casing which is smooth to open & reveals a well spaced out black keypad. On the exterior of the steel bodied casing the user can view the large coloured screen & access the call keys along with the high gloss black coloured navigation key which is highly useable & stands out for easy access. The screen is 2.2 Inches in size & displays a massive sixteen million colours on the TFT screen which has a screen resolution of 240 pixels by 320 pixels. The Samsung Steel is a compact handset due to its slide opening design which is only 14.2mm thick by 104.2mm tall by 48.9mm wide when in its slide closed position. The handset is made from luxurious metal materials by only weighs 190 grams which gives the phone a quality feel rather than a heavy feel to this stylish handset.

The phone supports Bluetooth® technology which allows the user to enjoy wireless connectivity to other Bluetooth® compatible devices including the user personal computer, laptop, printer & other mobile phone handsets. The user can use the Bluetooth® wireless connectivity to transfer files & data without a cable or wire in sight.

The user can access the Web via the built in Web browser which supports HTML & XHTML Web browsing for a fully mobile Web experience. The Samsung Steel works on a tri band network which covers 2G GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 & 3G HSDPA 2100 networks. The phone can hold many pictures, videos, music files & much more using the expandable memory card slot which allows the user to insert a memory card up to eight gigabytes in size. The user can communicate with other compatible contacts using the built in messaging services which means the user will not have to make a call to stay in contact with others. A text message service allows the user to input text & symbols when sending a message & the message can be shared between compatible SMS message users. A multimedia messaging services offers that little bit more as the user can send & receive pictures or video clips complete with sound & text which makes it easy for the user to share pictures with other compatible MMS messaging contacts. The Samsung Steel comes with a mobile email service which allows the user to send & receive emails on their handset which can be shared with any compatible user with an email address. The user can store all their contacts details including names, contact numbers & email addresses in their phone book which is easy to manage & access.

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery which can provide the user with approximately 4.7 hours of GSM talk time or up to 568 hours of battery standby time when fully charged. A built in 3 megapixel digital camera allows the user to use the camera to take still pictures & record video footage. The camera comes with many useful features which allow the user to gain the best possible shot each time the camera feature is used. An automatic focus feature allows the user to capture a well focused shot & the flash feature will bring light to those darker surrounding. The camera has a built in image stabiliser which will counter act any small movements made by the user when taking a shot so therefore the users pictures will not end up blurring for any small movements made. The user can store their pictures or video recording on the phones memory or share them with others using the built in MMS multimedia messaging service. The Samsung Steel comes with easy to use video setting & the user can simply use the camera keys when recording video footage. The handset has a second camera which is situated at the front of the casing & this can be used for 3G video calling. The user can enjoy an on screen conversation with other compatible 3G video calling contact. The 3G video call allows the user to view their contact on the phones screen whilst the second camera is recording the user's facial expressions & surroundings which is then seen on the other contacts screen. The Steel comes with a hands free speaker call feature which allows the user to take a call over the handset loud speakers so therefore the user can put the handset on their table or desk & hear their contact talking out loud to them & the users responses will be picked up by the built in microphone & heard by the other contact. The Samsung Steel is a wonderful looking handset which will fit into the user's life beautifully.

The slider on my phone does not work, it does not lock into position & constantly slides back down, & I changed from Vodafone over to Tesco's, & now I am unable to get on to the Internet. I am getting a new phone, after having this one for ten months.

IMHO for a high street price of £60 £70 the phone really excellent value. On my sample the slider is smooth with no lateral movement. The screen is reasonably large & bright, the phones slim & in all areas it looks & feels quality. I have larger fingers & find most phones difficult to use for text, No such problems with the SGH L810V Steel, I find the keypad easy to use. The phone is capable of the faster 3.5G, can be used as a Bluetooth connected modem for your Laptop when you need, can send & receive Email, also you can synchronise contacts & calendar with MS Outlook. Therefore short of moving to a Blackberry or other Smartphone the steel has all the bases covered, overall highly recommended.

I have had this phone for a couple of days now & have to say I am not very impressed! It is nowhere near as nice as my old phone (Samsung D840) & has lost some of the good features that my old phone had (such as being able to change texting font size & remembering recent recipients when texting so you do not have to search your whole phone book). However, the most disappointing thing about this phone is the interfaces. The menu interface is great but all the others look horrible & very old fashioned, especially the create new text message one & when you get a new message. I am so disappointed in this phone that I am tempted to send it back. If you do not mind about the design of the phone then it is probably for you. If you do, do not go anywhere near this phone!
