I think this phone is great, can use it quickly & efficiently. Had it for about 2 years, probably going to buy a new one soon so some features that have stopped working on my ZV40 will work again!

Bad points.
- When taking a photo with the rotating camera (which is really cool), you have to press the up arrow on the side to flip it the right way round, or the down arrow to flip the image side to side.
- No flash on the camera, photos can be dark & or blurred.
- Camera takes picture about 3 seconds after the button is pressed, you have to make sure the shutter sound is on so people know when they can move again!
- My Bluetooth stopped finding devices about 2 years after I had purchased the phone.
- It takes ages to turn on, quite a few intros, & if you have a password like I do to turn the phone on, it takes about 15 seconds to get to the place where you enter your password.
- Can sometimes take a long time to find a signal.
- I found there is not enough memory (even with the memory card in) to store a lot of songs & pictures!

Good Points.
- Video calling! Also handy with the rotating camera to take photos of yourself or with your mates, & be able to see what you look like.
- Downloadable games, ringtones, pictures, videos, music etc.
- Has alarms to wake you up or remind you of important appointments.
- Easy to find contacts by typing name/first few letters in contact book.
- Email, picture & voice messaging.
- Bluetooth (when it's working, it may just be my phone that goes a bit funny! )
- Memory card for extra memory
- Easy to write texts etc.
- Stores birthdays & other events.
- Voice recorder!
- Great quality main screen & cover screen, full colour.

Hope this review is helpful. It's a great phone, hopefully I'll be getting an upgrade soon, but if you have a busy schedule & don't need a lot of pictures or music on your phone, this one is perfect. Well, it does store loads of pictures, but not with lots of sounds & songs as well, like mine!

Have fun buying your phone :).

I love it, Samsungs are always really easy to use & it even gives you the option to put passwords on your text messages & pictures etc. The only thing I don't like it the camera because if you want to use it in its maximum quality, it takes 10 seconds to take the photo (not joking! ) So if you want to take a picture of friends, then you can't because they get bored. I don't mind though because I have a digital camera. Video camera however is really good. THIS IS A VERY GOOD PHONE!

This is a very good phone & highly recommended to everyone. I have had it for about a year & I am still in love with it. It's a phone for business & pleasure. This phone didn't get the credit it deserves in my opinion.

Top marks from me for this phone! Never want to change my phone again now as it's got everything I want on it. Me & my partner both have one in the grey colour & have had it for over a year now. Love the features especially the MP3 player, the 3G capabilities & the design. Pity it can't take any memory card bigger than the 64GB card that comes in the box. Other than that, it's fantastic! Certainly the best phone I have ever had & my partner says the same.

I really like the design & its pinkish colour but I am a little disappointed for not having a radio FM included in its features. The photos are pretty good if taken in daylight but blurred if taken in the dark or if the subject is moving so it would have been much better if it consisted a flash. All in all it's a good phone & I recommend it.

I love this phone, very easy to use, great features & functions. The camera could be better (a flash would be useful!) & it would be nice if the front screen could stay on but those are really moot points. If you love Samsung phones then I don't think you can go wrong with this.

I think that this phone is brilliant & well worth the money. It could be better though if it had a better camera & if the screen on the front was a little bit better & didn't always turn off, but apart from that the phone is BRILLIANT !

If you are looking for a deal go to the Woolworths, Buy this phone & you will be happy!

VERY disappointed WITH THIS PHONE HAVE JUST SENT IT BACK. UNLIKE PREVIOUS SAMSUNGS, the COVER SCREEN GOES OFF AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the PHONE WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING IF YOU JUST WANT TO CHECK the TIME YOU HAVE TO OPEN the PHONE. ALSO the CAMERA ISNT VERY GOOD I have 2 SMALL CHILDREN & THEY don't STAY STILL ENOUGH TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE EVERY ONE TAKEN WAS BLURRED. THERE ISNT A FLASH EITHER SO UNLESS IT'S BRIGHT ALL the PICTURES ARE DULL.APART FROM THAT the REST OF the PHONES FINE

The ZV40 is OK, but not the best phone I have had.

I love this phone - just received it today. The colour great, screen so clear. I've always had a Nokia phone & was a bit wary to change. But this is so easy to use. No problems - I didn't read the manual for ages. The only thing that bugs me - when the phone is closed - the front screen only stays on for 5 seconds. Maybe I am doing something wrong. But I would definitely recommend IT.

I'M GETTING THIS phone AT THE WEEKEND, & FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD: ITS A PRETTY MINTAGE phone! THANKS

Got this phone today as an upgrade; didn't know what to expect as I have always had a Nokia in the past - the last one being a 6230i which I love! Have to say I am very impressed with the Samsung ZV40; relatively easy to use, stylish to look at (I've chosen 'girly' pink!) & has everything I want/need. My only gripe is that it seems quite a lengthy process to send a text message. However, overall, I would recommend it...

My girlfriend has the Samsung ZV40 & she thinks it great. Its pink & has a few good 3G features that excite her like video telephony & streaming but that is where it ends. Like I said she loves it & I hate it, we call it the MARMITE phone as you either love it or hate it.

Samsung I love you, ZV40 is the coolest fone ever. The colour is cute, the design is beautiful, camera is good fun, video calls are a laugh, video streaming ok but cant' see the whole picture which is a little annoying, MMS love it, Bluetooth works brill & I am a happy fone owner.

Looking for a phone for my 10 year old daughter & this will do the trick nicely. Birthday present done. Thanks for the info & advise.

I've had this phone for a week now but all my buds the GG's (Gorgeous Gals) want it now. I love the colour & shape of this phone, there is quite a few pink lady lady phones out at the moment but this one has the best colour of pink & the best features. Sending MMS & email all the time & nervous to see my first bill. The GG's are wanting to get this phone soon & I hope they get it, they will love it like I do.
