  • yeas you can but i only can get v3.1 unfortunatly but at least its mxit

  • Press the volume key either up or down and it will turn the camera around. I've had this fone for 4years and its awesome. I've dropped it so many times and the only thing that broke is that the batt fell out and now i hav to sticky tape it. but really its such a good phone. only the batt doesnt last to long. i can only get v3.1 mxit it would be beter with a mem card but i love it.

  • Hey guys, I brought this phone 3 years now and it is great, I am so much attached to it and love it so much, I think it is the best of all Samsung phones with it's elegant shape, colour and performance, I never realy complain from anything during this period. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts.

  • If your camera is upside down, press the volume button while in camera mode to correct it.

  • hi,i would like to know if there is away that i can back-up my sms`s on my E340.

  • My wife dropped her cell in water. Please help. What can we do to save the phone, she is very attached to this phone?

  • my camera has been upside down since I bought this a year ago, its been driving me nuts, the salesperson couldn't help and couldn't find answers online either... Thanks so much for the SIMPLE fix!! Good camera, fun, cute, but the battery life is very bad on mine.

  • Definately Yes!

  • hey people... My sister bought the phone and I think it's an awesome phone.. You can load mp3's off the computer if you have a bluetooth device.. that way it doesn't cost any money at all :)

  • my samsung E340E has a sign and it look like a phone or something thats sorta broken in two.. its hard to explain but is there and icon directory so I know what it means?

  • I have the E340. Can I load mxit on it?

  • I have a e349, it confuses me sometimes, most of the time there is an red E on the top next to my battery life sign but i dont know what it means.also i put reminders on but i don't get a tone and they always go show on my screen at the wrong time.

  • i have samsung e340.there no call conversation recording,

  • i've had mine 4 bout year or so,also experienced that it heated up while busy using it..it just went of and restart by it self and just one day desided not to come on anymore????

  • my e340e handset heats up during the conversation and/or while it is in standby mode. secondly, it frequently indicates on the screen:LIMITED SERVICE.

  • i have a samsung e340e, when i press the buttons it switches off or restarts itself.

  • for the camera person ... on the side there is the volume button u need to press this when u in camera mode this changes the view upside down or right way up

  • can somebody tell me which samsung models have a compatible battery with samsung E340?

  • I've got a samsung e340e in black. The only thing with my phone is that about 1 year after I purchased it, the camera (video recording) just suddenly went upside down.

  • I've got this one. It's amazing. One and half yrs without problems. (:

  • Yes It does come in black, infact, I never even knew that it came in any other colour. They probably don't sell silver here

  • The SGH-E340 has a blue backlight for the keypad. As for moving files onto the phone, buy a data cable or blutooth from another phone... This is a nice phone: good for people with smaller budgets... I recommend the SGH-E340E. This model has EDGE... Great for use as a portable high-speed modem...

  • hi im planning on buying this fone and i want to know what colour does the keypad light up as?Is it blue? Thnx

  • hi does this phone have MP3?I know it says it does but how does the Mp3 player work and how do you put songs on it?I want to buy this phone.

  • hi i have a friend who has this cellphone, but i'm not sure, is this the cellphone you can turn the camere to both sides? plss help

  • I had constant software problems since i bought the phone and will never buy it again....Thank for making such a crap thing

  • LOL 5 songs?? u havent herd of compression. i've got a black E340E with 30full tracks that sound great. its a great basic phone if u aint got much to spend. Bluetooth, USB, EDGE, GPRS and GSM what more kud u want??

  • at first , it was 2 great but now after ayear , it is boring , no memory cards, it can take maximum 5 songs , mp3 only

  • I've got this phone almost year now, and I gotta say it's still so wonderful, the best I've ever had.

  • r there any video in tis phone plssss reply >_

  • Hey guys great phone! However does anyone know if you can use the speakerphone to have a conversation without sticking your ear next to it? Songs sound great from the speaker but when trying to hear somebody talking their voice is not loud enough! Am I the only one to have this problem? Thanks

  • This phone is extra. i am from bosnia!!!

  • It really is a cool fone with fun features, but the only doen side is memory i can only store 5 mp3's at a time.

  • Hey, people, I am not sure about buying that phone-I can see you`re all very pleased with it and I am asking for your advice what to do, because I like it really, but I still cannot go to the phone shop and buy it. Is it compact, does the camera work properly, things like this-can u tell me more?

  • superrrrrrrrrr pgone..ultra-kill performance..!!!!

  • I Just purchased my E340 E today, and I like the fact that it's so compact, I don't know the full functionality of it though. The EDGE feature looks like something interesting to play around with though.

  • i am from iran.e340 is very good,nice phone.

  • Its a really gr8 fone i hav mor than 40 ful tracks stored my only prob is u cant store pers msg tones it can rec up 2 1h vids contin it sup web browsers like opera wel done sam

  • As I know, the main difference between E340 and E340E it's the last one has Edge. I don't know if there is other differences in software but, for sure, in E340E you CAN use your musics in funbox as ringtones! It's an awsome fone!

  • its a great phone. but i couldnt set the recorded msgs as my ringtones.

  • I think it is a great phone. I enjoy myself to the utmost.There are only one problem. You cannot use a ringtone to advise you there is a message. Am i wrong, can you. Kindly advise

  • could someone pls help me set up my mms! i've tried everything, even called samsung.PLEASE HELP!

  • I would like to know what is the differences between the Samsung E340 & E340E and could you please send me pictures of them, because I am interested in buying them next weekend. Thanks.

  • I think it's a good phone. For one it has all the requirements I need and it also has a very stylish design. It's a phone that is well recommended.

  • it is a very good phone my sister likes it because it looks nice

  • I bought this fne a week ago and luv it, compared to the other fnes that iv had this one comes out tops!!! the only downfall that i find with it is the battery life, but other than that its brilliant, definatly buy it

  • I have tested this phone with an D500! I have to say that this phone is in video recording much smoother,menu response are much faster than D500.Even if you take the max resolution of 640x480 no blurried images! It has edge(by giving a code you can activate it),bluetooth ,mp3, 40ply sounds (it is moore than sufficient),40MB of memory! In comparaison i really prefered the sgh-E340 much moore than the D500, really. I am gonna sell my d500.....

  • I recently bought the E340E and well it has edge, and guys quess what works with this phone? The d500 attachable speaker......yes it works, do yourself a favour and get one it really turns your phone into a boom box.

  • You can't out your sim card in this phone ?

  • Hi I am new user of Samsung but I have few difficulties in handling this as I am used to Nokia. Can any body help? How can I use contacts from Phone only, right now both phone and SIM contacts are in display? Second, how do I transfer photo/video to pc, is there any special Software required? You may write to my e-mail also [email protected] Thank you.

  • hi, i was wondering what is the difference between the e340 and the e340e? thanks

  • The samsung E340 is very nice and easy to handle however it would be 100 times better if you could set voice recordings and "sounds" (in the funbox menu) as ringtones. But big up to samsung this is a great phone.

  • This phone is awesome! I got it about 3 days ago and it's just so beautiful, wasn't so keen to get it at the first place but now i'm very happy with it! The only things that bug me is the battery (only last 2 days!), and more space, but it's still a lot compared to the E700

  • What's the difference between E340 and E340E? E340 costs 195,- and E340E costs 219,-. I just would like to now if E340E is worth buying instead of E340.

  • this phone is cool.very easy to use.mp3 player is jst toooooo nice.any nyc gals wanner get to know me.(me 16 on 23jan)

  • i thin it best mobaile company samsung in iran

  • im looking at buying a flip camera phone and this one looks perfect. does anyone have any negative or positive comments on it?

  • i really really like it.. too bad there's no other colors.. but its sooo cool n so handy and since im a lover of flip-open cell phones.. i'm bound to hav this one!! lol^-^ hehe

  • Ville...... rttfm, its not rocket science you know, i have had this handset for about 2 months now and no complaints as yet!! big difference from nokia but happy all the way! GO SAMSUNG

  • Stefi.. u hafta click the volumne buttons on the sides to flip it.. the phone is really nice black or not =] cuz u can flip it sideways too hehehe go Samsung !!! for now that is...

  • Im going to buy the E340E version that has edge, so as i dont yet have the phone Im just going to post what ive read elsewhere. You can turn the camera image using volume buttons. So if its upside down press volume up and if you want mirror press volume down. At least thats what i read somewhere.

  • Hy, I've bought this phone 3 days ago,and I want to tell you that this is the most stupid phone. When I rotate the camera to me the image is upside down. SHAME to you Samsung!

  • well i got the black samsungE340, and it looks much better than the silver. I love the mp3 player, the bluetooth works wonderfull, everything about this phone is amazing. Well dont Samsung on creating yet another fab fone.

  • heya, i have to admit, i had my lil phone now for about 2 days and its an amazing phone, and totaly user friendly, im usualy more a Nokia fan and this was my first fone that isnt a nokia and im really happy with it. Its so easy to use, its light, looks good, love the mp3 player ... everything is good about his phone!! im planing on getting the D600 aswell sometime but i love this phone!!

  • Good.

  • ho do I to ratate the camera please?

  • And btw, i'm finally goin' to buy this phone, i decided it's the best! I don't mind that there's no colour in smaller screen or that the inside screen isn't so good, this is just so good lookin' phone! I really hope it makes me happy :D

  • can PLS somebody tell me how many mex does it store? and is there any video recording? and how long can u record? i am planning to buy one so i NEED HELP! thanx in advance luv ya NINA

  • can anyone tell me which Samsung phone is the best.I am not overly bothered with elaborate functions like video etc but I do want a good looking phone that has high volume and easy texting functions. Any ideas?

  • I got this phone and it is just perfect !

  • it can record 1 hours i think!

  • the samsung e340 does have video recording as i got it 2 days ago and the length of the video all depends on how much space you have left on your phone. their is NO specific limit. the phone has 40mb of internal memory. so it has quite a lot for a small phone.

  • thats not the best mobile the best is the samsung e530!!

  • Dat phone is da best, but 4 how long can it video record??? Plz sum1 tell me.. I wanna buy it..

  • I have just bought this phone online.Hope it is a great choice.It looks so good tho!

  • im thinking of getting this fone but does it hve video recording on it???? pleez reply! thanx!

  • This Phone Is Like So Cool And I Adore It.

  • Really, i bought this phone about 5 months ago. I don't have any complaint. The bluetooth works fine, it has 40 Mb shared memory, it plays mp3 as an mp3 player and for ringtones also(great quality!), the interiour screen is colored 65000 colors very nice, the screen outside is not colored but that doesnt bother me, its very clear. I really recommend this phone to everyone with a budget from about 250 euros, it costs already less i think.

  • Howzit Selwyn from fellow South African And ex-Eldo's Ext.2 resident. Firstly regarding the ringing tones & vibration you can download ringing tone with simultaneous vibration, cant remember the website just now. Regarding the camera, when taking the photo, just press the volume button on the left side of the fone use the top one it will turn the image around.

  • Another South African entirely satisfied with the new black version I bought for my fiance. Can anyone please advise whether it is possible to have the ringing alert set to both ringing(melody/sound/audio) and vibration simultaneously? I know about the "first ring and then vibrate" setting but wish it could be done otherwise. A bigger memory or MMC provision wouldn't hurt either. Whenever I try and take a self portrait by swivelling the camera around to face me, the picture I take is upside down. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for your response.

  • Guys can anybody tell me how do i connect my phone to my PC? And how do I send a melody through Bluetooth to another phone?

  • hi again, I have one prob. someones say there is blue light in this phone's smaller screen. But i went to shop and there it was white!:/ So is there really two version of this phone? And if someone can answer, is this phone's colour-screen good?

  • Why can't i buy it in poland??? it's such a nice lokking phone!!!!!

  • I have just one problem, i can't activate my WAP and GPRS so i can't send an MMS,I really need help. Other then that the phone is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  • yez this phone has bleutooth, but no ir, and has also 40mb internal memory...this is a rich phone for a pretty low price...it's really worth it...

  • People.... stop it!!!! Does this Phone has the BLUETOOTH, IR PORT and the claimed built-in 40mb of memory????? PLZ, somebody that bought one... answer to me this question...

  • very very gooooooooooood

  • for how long does it record video.ll apreciate anyone's reply

  • Ths fon luks rich. I m sure u wil enjoy usin ths fone. No words to express about the features of ths fone.

  • Hi all, From South Africa, we have this fone here now for about a month now and its only available in black... yet on this site it only mentions silver colour.

  • Answers ---> The smaller outside screen has a blue light. Locking can be done for MMS, Text Messages, Photo's, Video Recordings, Ringtones, Mp3's, Games, and Voice Recordings. My battery Life lasted 2days with Making calls and playing Mp3's.

  • Myself and a friend of mine bought this phone about a month ago. We do not recommend it. The battery lasts only 2 days (if you do not receive calls or play games). No really it was a waste of money. It only looks great, and that's about all.

  • I want to buy this phone but I have a doubt... In some sites I found in the description that there are 9MB of memory, in other sites 40Mb. What's the truth? There are two version of the same phone? And the memory how is divided?

  • hi I want to know whether the E340 has a function that locks your text messages. I know you can lock your mms', video clips, etc. Thanks

  • umm.. what coloured light is in that smaller screen? is it blue, or just white, or.. some else? That could be nice to know^^ thanks if someone can answer^^

  • I got my fone a few days ago! Its great! The sound quality of the Mp3's is fantastic. And too answer someone's question, the Mp3 player still plays when the phone is closed. U can set the mp3's are individual ringtones aswell. Camera and Video recording is the best i've had so far. Video Recording with sound. My model is is Black with Blue lighting. Anyone has more questions about the fone i'd be happy too answer them

  • i just want to say that this is a small cute phone but want to know does it have 3g on it

  • I have a choice between the Samsung E330 and the Samsung E340. I know that the E340 is a slightly better phone, but I like them both. I just cant make up my mind! What do you think?!

  • Hi I have been trying to download JPG & JPEG pics from my pc to the E340, but I am having no joy.Anybody know if this format is compatible with the phone, and if not what formats does the phone have or use?

  • I took one of this this morning & it can record video clip. but it want not told in Specifications

  • Hi.. I just wanted to know whether the outer sceen is in colour or not.. On some websites it seems like it is, and on others it seems to be black and white. Although on the real Samsung website it appears to be black and white, in some shops over here in The Netherlands it's in colour..

  • I found the function to activate the loudspeaker, function not documented: During the conversation press on the key "I" (I blue in the medium of the arrow keys). A message will appear asking to you whether you wish to activate the highspeaker.

  • I bought this phone a week ago in Istanbul/Turkiye. All specs satisfact me except battery time. In normal use, it goes 2.5 days now. I'm disappointed for the battery. But, It may be necessary to fully charge and discharge the battery three to four times before it will be able to make use of its maximum capacity. I'll see. Also, there is no built-in handsfree. You can use with head-set or handsfree-set for handsfree speaking.

  • This is a very cool phone, it does the same as the E330 it only has got Mp3 and Bluetooth extra with internal memory of 40MB. Please stop asking stupid questions in your comments, use this website to get the information you are looking for. This phone is now out in South Africa only in Black. Nice!

  • The Samsung E340 looks great. Its just come out in South Africa. I cant wait too buy mine. The only difference is that it comes in Black only here, which i prefer. It looks so much better in Black with Blue key lighting. It has everything except 3G. Which makes it the perfect phone for me!!! I love it!

  • on magazines it says that this phone has a flash . but where is it and if there is how do you use it.

  • To the person who said some of your friends has this phone from what carrier

  • wow sum of my friends have this phone and i loooooove it!!!!!!!!so much!! i want it sooo bad it's really cool!

  • yeah,i'm in dileema as well weather i really gonna use all thos INFRARED and BLUTOOTH funtion.really,it's just to transfer mp3,pic,stuffs like that! what for? besides,the price is unresonablly high for the phone with thos funtion( but with no use) i'm planning to buy Samsung X640 since the design is marvelously outstanding!!! thank god it's in BLACK!!(no more silver for me,please..)but X640 doesnt have infrared and bluetooth(its ok) and now,i can sleep well without having to worry about those mp3 stuffs.besides,i dont even use it because all the time i put my phone in vibrate and silence mode(since all my time is dedicated in lecture hall in college) i wonder if samsung is good at the quality of picture because all my friends said so.it's very sharp.is that true??? and what's UFB and USB port? are they for transferring photo into computer??

  • this phone is not already out in australia. the e330 is currently out here.

  • this fone is already out in oz I LUV THIS FONE!!!! my best friend has it and i just adore it!! im considering buying it myself i definately recommend it!!!

  • can u put a differnt ringtone for each ndividual person. i like the smallness

  • i was gonna get this fone but from the other peoples comments it has put me off so ive decided it looks pretty crappy

  • I like it is a good product.

  • Uhh I wonder what mono means? ie matrix external, screen READ!

  • Im thinking of getting this phone... but something bothers me... is the external screen colored? 65k??

  • i got this phone. it's nice and charming!

  • Mmm.... Nicola it's clearly seen and it says COMING SOON :))

  • This phone is gorgeous looking But how much is it ? Where on the internet can i buy one. I can't wait to buy it!

  • hie.. can someone please tell me wat's the difference between this and E330?which is better? price? can you please confirm if E330 has "photo call"? i read in the mag that it doesn't haf but this website says it does...

  • dodo, its not USB, it's UFB. btw tha phon looks cool.

  • Hey! Does anyone know when this phone is coming out? And where I can buy it?

  • This phone rocks! Depending on what you interested in doing.

  • I have bought 2 phones, 1st I bought samsung without infrared and bluetooth but with perfect design, then my friends teased on me due to this. A while later I bought another phone, sony ericsson with infrared and bluetooth. After sometimes, I realised that these 2 functions for me is just to transfer ringtones, mp3, pictures and photo, thats all, so I wonder what so good about these 2 additional functions.

  • Dodo, i think TFD is better than TFT, check out D410. the color is amazing.

  • oh such a bad phone. no bluetooth n infrared

  • They make the screen better : TFT instead of USB

  • Looks a great phone am going to buy

  • hi, i problem is driver cable for E330 for connect to pc and recive pic from E330 please help me

  • yea it looks really nice nd im gunna get 1 but how much will it cost thats wat i wanna kno!

  • Wrong compare! See it as a X460 with extra band and camera for only 3g extra weight.... (Even though the name points at the E330)

  • This phone. i'm interest in it. some website said that this phone hv bluetooth and mp3. and i wanna check it in samsung.com. but there's no info abt this at the official website of samsung. so, anyone can send those picture to me? and abt the price. i hope it isnt' tat xpansive

  • OMG! this phone looks alot like the E330 even though this might be the "upgraded" version. Look at the bad spec!!!

  • tis phone does not haf Infre red, no bluetooth, external screen is a mono color. wat can i say? no one's gonna buy such a phone! samsung, u can do better den tat!! like Z500!!!!!! however, if Z500 could be smaller, it would be perfect. currently waiting for Z500 to come out.
