The Samsung Z140 comes in a very sleek casing which is mostly black coloured on the exterior. Internally the phone is mostly silver coloured apart from the striking black keys that stand out beautifully. The phone is a 3G technology mobile phone & it comes with fun & very user friendly features. The Z140 has a flip open mechanism & dual TFT screens.

The internal TFT LCD (176 x 220 pixels) 262k colour screen provides a perfect & crisp picture quality to view the videos or display the perfect photo. The Samsung Z140 comes with 50 Mega Bytes of memory which is plenty of space for the user to save all of those special memories.

The JAVA™ games come with 3D accelerator chip which make them very playable. The user can have fun with the Flash™ wallpaper feature which allows them to personalise their Z140 with their own style of wallpaper.

Have had this phone for just over a year now & can definitely that it is the best I have ever had!

The good thing about it are that it is very durable & handles lots of use, e.g. no scratches!

There are a few things that could be better such as the battery life which normally last 48 hours with average use! As well as this, the memory could be better- the phone has 60MB internal memory which is average but does not have a place for external memory cards which is certainly a negative!

Also in the last few weeks I have discovered that when vibrate is turned ON the phone sometimes decides not to vibrate, making me unaware that the phone is ringing!

All in all a pretty good phone although I am upgrading soon to a Sony Ericsson which I hope will be just as good!

Great phone, really easy to use, camera & video streaming leaves a bit to be desired, but for a phone that price with those features, you can't complain.

This phone was really good to use, but after a few months. The battery went when I was talking on 3G. Overall not bad at all. The design of it is stylish but it was chunky & didn't fit in my jean pocket without shoving it in. The camera easily attracted dust which mean that it had to be cleaned every so often (difficult as it's really small).

This phone is great if you want a simple but yet excellent phone. It is a bit hard to understand what to do but as soon as you understand it is great. The rotating camera is excellent & great resolutions!!! Really pleased with this phone. It even has a math's converter which is great in math's tests! :)

This phone has got the lot. Everything & more. Neat flip open styled 3G phone that has a slightly lower specification than the top of the range Samsungs. Unsure if I will be getting this one but very keen.

It is a 3G phone & full of heaps of un-user friendly stuff that tries to impress us buyers but it aint working on me. Keep 3G & keep the Z140 Samsung.

Yes, I am in mobile phone heaven. I adore the video recording feature as it last for ages & I can actually record until my poor arm is aching. The video feature is great for a phones recording feature as normal phones can only record 2 minutes worth of clips. Perfect recording.

I'm so pleased with this new phone & the designers should be very proud, it has not let me down in anyway & I have used all the features in the book. It is an amazing piece of equipment & should be treated with great respect. Powerful, reliable, useful, easy to use & very attractive phone. 100 out of 100.
