Excellent Design and stylereally light, i was shocked in it's weightclear, crisp screensimple to use and to get utilised to. only took me a couple of minutes to figure every thing out.simple telephone for each day use maybe i want much more time with the telephone, but i wish you could just tap on the widget on the left bar to open the plan. I have to drag it out of the side bar and location it onto the primary screen. I like to maintain items clean, so i prefer to not have considerably icons visible. At first i was worried it come in a different language, but mine came in english. Like the other guy mentioned, the phone isn't for individuals who want a whole lot of tech stuff. I'm a simple individual who really only cares about the primary funtion of a cell telephone. I dont need to have Wi-fi or other stuff like that. But wanted a sleek looking phone. This was excellent for me. |

excellent telephone for the price tag, quite a few functions of 3-400 dollar phones. phone is in what seems to be ukranian, out of the box. the phone has english, but is really hard to modify to if you dont understand ukranian. ill give step by step directions to transform it to english.1. starting on the house screen, hit the menu button in the bottom correct corner, it will bring up a menu screen with 12 icons.two. hit the settings icon in the bottom proper corner. it will bring up a list of choices.3. choose the 4th choice down, this will be phone settings. it will bring up another list of choices.four. choose the initial choice, this is the language settings. there will be two drop down boxes.5. decide on the english alternative for both of the drop down boxes, and save your settings.if the settings dont transform automatically, then you might want to pull the battery to restart it, but this need to operate. |

Fantastic appear. Effortless to use. I like the touch screen. Excellent price. First telephone did not work. NewEgg is genuinely wonderful and did replace it. Second phone worked but had difficulty taking a charge. Now telephone will not charge at all unless you physically hold the charger in place, (not very sensible if you have a life) Again NewEgg has been fantastic and will take telephone back. Following all this I am seeking into a different telephone. Telephone is also tough to text on. |

lightweight, compact, extended battery life doesn't interpret written text into text messages well, sounds cut in and out, can't store numbers into speed dial slots this is my 2nd samsung telephone so i am familiar with the set up. primarily based on my practical experience i would not advocate this model to any individual. very first of all it does not have a qwerty keyboard, i don't know why the other reviewers say it does. secondly the sounds don't always function in the "normal" profile so i miss calls. there is also a issue with storing numbers to speed dial short cuts where it won't let you save the contact at the finish. lastly it sends me a text message every single time a verify voice mail, which is annoying. purchaser beware! |

decent battery life, lots of capabilities sends text message with random characters each and every time i verify voice mail, touch screen does not predict written letters very properly for text messages if employing stylus some of the capabilities i complained about final review (like storing numbers to shortcut keys) had been rectified by taking out the battery for a short period of time. on the other hand, the phone still sends out a weird text message every single time i check voice mail and it struggles to pair with my BMW's bluetooth (i have to confirm twice every single time). also if you're as well lazy to study the manual the qwerty keyboard only appears if you rotate the telephone sideways even though in message mode, which i figured out by accident. the LG Vu, which is incredibly comparable to this telephone, has an actual button you can push to swap involving conventional and qwerty keypads for typing messages. |

It has really lengthy energy life, fantastic style & light weight. I only need to charge it about two times a weeks even even though I use it to access the net like all the time when traveling to perform. The virtual keypad make texting considerably simpler. The wap browser is quite fast as well. Lack of settings support in the US, even if you try to google it. Had to set the wap setting manually. Nevertheless, been owning this telephone for 4 months now and I nonetheless can't come across the appropriate MMS setting for tmobile for the telephone model I usually modify phone like every single 4 - six months. And so far I really like this telephone a lot that I wouldn't want any other model Yet *lol* But I may have to if I still can't locate the appropriate MMS setting. |

All of it! The touch buttons respond well; have not struggled with hitting the incorrect location all the time; the scrolling takes a tiny receiving used to but that's to be expected for somebody who has not used a touch phone prior to. Not to mention the battery life. All in all, I am glad I didn't go for a far more high priced touch telephone; my final 4 phones now have been samsung and I have however to be disappointed. NA |

Low price tag, high high quality, great camera, excellent touch screen, FM radio, Crystal clear sound, Fantastic reception, Quad band, Light weight, modest size, Great battery life, simple to use menu program, A lot of choices of languages to select. No Wifi, No GPS, No 3G, but for the price what do you count on? Back panel can be challenging to get rid of with no braking it. Micro SD card is installed internally. FM radio calls for the earphone to be plugged in, No three.5mm headphone jack, but these are just minor annoyances. Mine came with a UK wall charger and an adapter was in the box, so i could use it in Canada. Charged mine thru the Pc, through USB cable which was included. I am glad I got a Euro version with no annoying, proprietary splash screen of neighborhood providers. Works with my Fido SIM card and will also operate with my European T-Mobile SIM card when I go there. I was also glad to see it has tons of languages to chose from, not just French & English. The telephone feels great in your hand and the touch screen performs good, even with the protective film still on it. This is a fantastic phone for ppl who have no information plan. Typing text is easy on it and the screen resolution is sharp, colors are vivid and life-like. Wish it had at least Wifi. The three.3-Mp camera takes nice images. For the cost it is extremely advisable. |

I didn't locate anything pro about it. The Battery cover was Very Tricky to OPEN, believed my SIM card & MicroSD cards were goners! Yes, the telephone is NOT new like it's suppose to be described as. I as well agree with an additional anonymous user in right here who also mentioned the identical factor that, the original Seal from the Manufacturer was torn in half & replaced by a larger clear circular seal over the makers seal. Following inserting my SIM & MicroSD card that I thought was going to be a breeze to get began with, it was as I read before installed with yet another language other than English. All I was able to do was caliberate the touch screen, & then I tried going further from there & all it would do was give me an alternative to unlock or lock the screen, & even right after pressing the unlock button on the appropriate side of the phone, it would not do something. I also had troubles with the Headset not being Stereo. It has both earbuds, but was only playing a mono signal. Very displeased with NewEgg's Client Svc. Will be cautious when ordering again |

*Battery does last a very extended time with average usage.*Bright screen*Its unlocked and performs with at&t*Has a decent camera with video*You can set up 3rd party apps such as gmail java based*Install widgets *Great Speakerphone*Has most essential telephone characteristics you would require. *Browser is somewhat straightforward to use. *Can only hold about 220 text messages in your inbox*Phone can simply get scratched without having a cover*the screen is pressure sensitive. I occur to like heat, like the iphone*The memory card is below the battery*Software offered does not work with windows7 despite the fact that you can use the phone in mass storage mode.*Was challenging setting up the MMS and Online settings for my provider they do not come with the phone.*I cannot lock out the telephone entirely only applications, so every single time i wanna read a message with the lock enabled i have to enter my password each time instead of once, Type of a inconvenience. General the telephone is good I have been employing it for a couple of months, appears to get the job carried out. I'm not a individual that usually browses the internet with my telephone but i do use it occasionally for checking e-mail. For the price tag you can not go incorrect, The phone is extremely little so if you employed the landscaped text input when texting it may well be challenging for people with bigger fingers. |

Good touch screen telephone. Nonetheless trying to figure it out (had to download manual.) manual was completely in French and my French is not that good. Charger was a Euro plug with adapter and it did not function -- had to charge telephone using the USB cable. If you're looking for the English manual, look for a GTS5230 -- there is also updated software accessible for the phone. |

-Decent battery life (I recharge it as soon as a week)-Price for top quality is really very good (also got it on sale)-functions with AT&T -headphone jack is identical as charger jack (there is >no< 3.5mm)-will not play m4p/AAC (i.e. iTunes) I purchased a case for this from A different web page for a few bucks and it has taken the beating it was intended for. Albeit with the case, the telephone has not malfunctioned immediately after a dozen drops. |

Every thing is just excellent about the telephone! The touch response is truly nice, rapid. The screen resolution is really nice. The battery last fairly significantly the complete day. Text messaging is nice. I have thick fingers and have no problem with the qwerty touch response keyboard. The accelerometer is pretty rapidly. It is a very good phone in all. The truth that it is not 3G capable and does not have Wifi is the only downer with the phone, but my GRPS/EDGE functions just fine. It kinda faster with this telephone than my last. |
- exclusive (not alot of folks have this model in Canada)- Pretty new design (released sometime in July ཅ )- extremely easy to startup and use- compact- light weight- unlocked- touch screen - I tried to sort with my massive stubby fingers and it is seriously correct (calibration accomplished)- games are java primarily based.- bluetooth- mp3 player - 3.two Megpixel camera - and other individuals (see specs) - difficult to attach stylus- stylus is difficult to open- difficult to uncover a silicon case for it. - No Wifi- but wife won't genuinely use it anyways- the back panel for the battery and sim card was fairly challenging to open the initial time and for my stubby fingers (my infant finger was as thick as the telephone) - This telephone is a basic and sleek, but it functionality is of great worth considering the price tag.- I read other evaluations that individuals in one more language, but, my wife's came in English-Would NOT Reccommend this if you are: a high tech / tech savy person (Programming in Java on your telephone), require WiFi all the time and be able and willing to setup the WiFi up all the time, or do alot of texting.- I would suggest this phone if you are not willing to pay too a lot for a UNLOCKED touchscreen phone, hunting for good value for certain attributes, convenience, getting unique, travel abroad exactly where SIM cards are applied, and wonderful styling... Finally, If you have Huge FINGERS with no fingernails.. You may possibly want to re-contemplate.
