Samsung E360 - User Reviews

  • i love this phone but my casing is damaged.. Is there anyway i can get the casing for this model? 2nd is still fine by me. even if its a spoilt one is still fine because i only need the parts of the phone such as casing and keypad.. Is there any way for me to get it? Can reply me at my email [email protected].

  • i want Samsung to make cell same like this one with 8mp camera and card slot with 8gb memory.That will be something awesom.

  • design is fine.. but useless is awful... That`s why I hate samsung Just try to use this brick.. quiet hard

  • I Love this phone,. I used it since 2006,,

  • i like this phone the minute i used it since year 2006, the only design flaw is its camera resolution and limited memory , overall i like its design, performance, and features. simple, stylish, and robust(except its rubber that might melt away cause the microphone non workable unless clean it.)

  • PERFECT DESIGN! the flaw is the internal memory >,

  • I love theh size and function of this phone and the only reason I am looking for a replacement is that the battery is not holding its charge for as long. I wish there were replacement batteries available!

  • i love ths fon.. actually i also use ths fon

  • do you know if this phone is still available thank you

  • I just simply luvvvvvvvvvvviin it..... my viance also wants it but unfortunately this cellphone is out of market by now. Samsung, please... please... do make another series of this model with addition to its camera (make it in MP), memory (add in internal memory and also external) and primary LCD colour. we will surely buy it!!!

  • mary, i had the same problem before with my phone.try cleaning the lower right part of your phone where the speaker is.the rubber cover might have clogged the hole due to heat.

  • i want to buy many of tsese

  • I LOVE this phone! I really like the design a lot and I remember getting this years back JUST for its design! I hope Samsung would consider redoing this model and upgrade its memory space because to me, the amount of memory is the only flaw of this model!

  • i like it vy much especially for its camera. it is faster than many other types of hp., such as sony. all the function in it is enough for me, but i think the memory internal should be more larger, cox sometimes it is nt enough for me^^ haha. also, the miccophone or speaker is nt good in quality i think, bcox ppl always cant hear me ..

  • Fellas, dis phone is cute. I've been using it 4 some times now n i luv it. D things i don't like r about d ringtones which aren't very loud n d fact dat u can't copy images right from d web pages 2 ur phone. If anyone knows how 2 do it, pls post so others can benefit.

  • i use this phone for years now... i like the black version. i like it most bcos it very good to grip. but the only problem now is speaker. people cant heard me, anyway... i still choose this hp even my husband offered me a new 1. i really2 like this phone... no matter what.

  • I have the black version. nice phone, only little outdated software (I have the early 2006 version) Battery life has been reduced to 24h, but thats my bad :)

  • its ok

  • I got my samsung e360 as a birthday gift from my husband more than a year ago and i am satisfied with my unit so far.With its battery life,I got no problem too.It just have to be manage well, like draining it if you have time before recharging it,to prolong its battery life.My phone batt can last for 2 days,txt n few calls and i love watching my saved pics n videos.:-)

  • hey Im tryin to get around the USB fuction but cant even after installin the drive v7.5 or v10 shld i use strictly v1.1?

  • i really like it, mine is color black, and so girlie stuff.

  • I am wondering if I can use bluetooth to install Java games or it's just allowing gprs downloading.....

  • i had this phone for about a year. there was nothing ever wrong with it, perfect in every way. obviously if u use it 24hrs a day, the battery wont last very long (der) but my battery could lasts days, and i used it pretty much every day, texting, calling everything. i was devistated the other nite wen i lost it in the harbour, i cant find any phone that is perfect jus like the one i had. it holds heaps of MP3 songs, messages, everything. if anyone knows where i can get another one, in black from PLEASE let me know, i only lost my other one 4days ago!

  • I had bought this mobile in 20-03-2007 in Palestine,i found that this is the mobile that i was search since many years ago it's agreat mobile samsung. I thank samsung. I need the softeware that relats with this mobile like sharings riningtone and pictures with my computers, please sent me this software to my email above.

  • I had bought this phone in Singapore.The reason being the first look atracted me small,handy makes you feel that you don't carry a mobile phone with you.So small the working feature are really excellent.It is a great valve for my money.

  • i love it!

  • Its really great and looking good. As long as this phone close it's safety, I'm trying to work with this phone carefully when its opened. This phone really feet to my hand This phone fallen twice and still works and look great, I can't said that about the two another phones that I had before ...

  • i got a samsung e360 bought by my father in europe. At first i was impress by its appearance- an elegant black makes a big difference. it has nice and easy to press keypad, the screen so colorful and vivid plus the double screen. Sooner i discovered some problems- the battery life is no good especially when i used the phone the whole day texting only., second the menu themes or icons cannot be change only its color, the radio when used while texting interrupts its sound while pressing keypad, no usb in the market, sometimes the name of the sender is change to another name in the inbox, lastly samsungmobile sites doesnt have a featured unit for E360. I dont know why maybe samsung has just phase out this product. Over all i give this phone 6/1o rate.

  • ita a goooooood phone..........

  • nice phone ive had it a year i thought it would be better

  • at the first sight i belive that is a good phone.but i really don't know how much it cost

  • i bought this phone 9 months ago. i choose this phone because of its design and not the function.

  • I hate the samsung e360! I bought it 4 months ago, and I have had to send it back to the distributor twice because of software problems - and it is still not working. So I am sending it back for the third time hoping never to see it again. Other than that, it is really crap if you like sending text messages. Compared to Nokia and Sony Ericsson, I was really shocked about its poor functions. Though I do love the radio and camera in it...I do have to give credit for that. And it has some great games to play. But is that enough to buy it? Well, I just hope I will never see this mobile again.

  • i have this phone about two months...the batery discharge in 4 days (radio mp3 camera...)mps qaulity is wery good and you shuold buy it in black it look realy cool p.s. sorry i dont speak realy good in english because im only 15 yr

  • hello i am looking at purchasing the Samsung E360 i was just wondering how long it takes for the battery to run out? would you recommend this phone to your friends? does this phone come with a spare battery? and is there any way to connect it to the computer and download your pictures onto the computer?

  • i bought the 4n a month ago.i hav 2 serious problems.the batt life in unbelievably short(1 day or less)!!!mp3 capacity is too little so i rarely download mp3.n does it realy hav usb? the clamshell design is great n its features r realy great compared 2 other 4ns.overal its a good 4n n i'd giv it 7/10.

  • I hate the phone I think it adds little or nothing to what is out there on the market now, not the lease interested in buying it.

  • does anybody know where is "_" on this phone? i tried to send an e-mail but i cannot insert the e-mail address because it has not such sign.

  • whats the extension file of samsung? i was looking for games but everytime i try to download, i search for the model type which is e360 but it wasnt on the list...??? some says the model maybe a reject or obsolete...is that possible? anyway wer can i find games for this kind of phone? a lil help here...

  • looks great and neat

  • i think its a good mobile!! the main thing is camera and this mobile have a camera so i think this is a good mobile!!!

  • Hey Jay, Sigmung, my little blackish 360 is with me for about 6 mth ... couldn't agree with you more !

  • I think this mobile is very great. I actually love it and you people are weird... "WHY NOT 2MP" "This mobile sux cuz there's no memo-cards, SUX CRAP OMG" It makes me laugh. Just tell me, what will you do with a Uber mega camera on PHONE?... Phone is only for talking with each other, those cool features are just for fun. AND TAKE A LOOK IN THE MANUAL FIRST, BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS YOU N00BS! 10/10 - Kewl phone, love it.

  • Man, great to have a finally lively video recorder. Yet, my mobile was the same type but still no video recorder, unfortunately Samsung spreads their features to almost untrackable spots. I at first still confused about GPRS especially MMS setting. Nothing seems right.

  • Hi, I bought this phone around 3 months ago and although the navigation and feature set is good, i find the battery life a bit short. But all in all, a good phone.

  • hi, The samsung e360 (black) is fantastic! but remember it is just a mobile phone ! not a high qualtity digital camera! or an mp3 player with 1GB memory! those options are just for fun its a really good phone a hint: if you turn the symbols on the external display off, your battery stays good! its a really good phone a beauty from samsung , samsung is just like mercedes and sony--> that are alsow perfect brands! buy him! ps: i have no problems with the E360E ( that a limitid etidtion in belguim) jay out of Belguim

  • Hi i've had my e360 for 4 weeks up till now it's doing ok. the few complaints are that the outer display gets switched after very few seconds. the sms ringtones can't be mp3 or else of someone knows please let me know. thanks

  • Hey Kasper, you need to work with a bluetooth, it normally comes with a driver, with simple installation you can up/download files/photo/MP3.... to & from your PC.

  • hello - i cannot connect to pc with usb and serial eather - mightbe some specific driver i need(now i have atleast 10 non of them working) please help tnxs

  • how do you upload music for the mp3?

  • hi!can anyone please tell me how to get rid of that T9- dictionary function?i want to write messages without the T9, and i can't seem to get it out of my way!thanx..:)

  • samsung is my favirte handset.i like very much all the features of sumsung.i think u r tthe only one firm who is introducing all the new facilites on the handset. goahead............

  • This is the best phone so far! It has all the features you want in a phone including mp3 player, radio, camera, nice design and light as well! However, one of the problems with this phone is that the wallpaper on the external cover does not display long enough...they should really change it so that it stays...the battery life is too short and that there is no usb! How can i download mp3s when there is no usb?? The only way is to use bluetooth...which is dissappointing..overall i give this phone 8/10! Hope that the problems with this phone would be removed for future samsung phones.

  • Hi, did anyone reply as to how you can set mp3 as sms alert tones for the Samsung e360, is this possible? Please help?

  • A great phone in many ways. easy to handle, grat looks. My only complain is that the battery length is way too short

  • Very short battery life, low resolution, and my handfree set that came with it had major connection problems just within 2 months

  • This phone is not very sophisticated but has most of the features you'll ever find in some cellphone brand. The sound is crisp and images are vivid...this phone is higly recommended!!

  • Still enjoy using my little 360, good stuff !

  • Hi. I just bought e360. I cannot see the icon for missed call in external display and it was appear for only 2 second. How to make it stay?

  • u people are nuts , think about other phones line nokia 6170 ot motorola v3 that are more expensive then this e360 and have a memory of 2 mb and 4 mb.. i think this is a great phone nice look , very usefull , and the pictures are OK , i can't see the difference between a 1.3 MB camera and a VGA... ps : love this phone

  • Honestly, go for a different Samsung if your fussed about MP3 storage, and the megapixiels in the camera. But, if you are looking for an affordable classy Samsung, this is definetly for you. In my opinon this phone has a to-die-for design: best that I have seen on the market currently. An absolute pro of this phone is: affordablity. I have to say is that I am a bit dissapointed in the battery life, but otherwise im a happy Samsung E360 user, and would reccomend it highly to anyone.

  • Fhank samgor. I think i would buy this h.phone. I think its good price and quality proportion.

  • Hey Silver, internal screen measured by 3x3.5cm. Batt life really depends, serious users can't take your hands off the phone would find it can't even last for 1/2 a day. In general, 1-1.5 day. I solved this problem by putting a 2nd charger in my office.

  • This is the worst phone I have bought yet. I had it for a week and the messaging system started playing up. I got it replaced and the same problem happened again.

  • ahh.. how long does the battery last???

  • Hey! i want to ask you... the inside screen size is small or large? and it is true that battery little keep? fhank

  • To orange ; you can't be wrong with a Samsung but be reminded the battery life is not that impressed with this little E360. To the unknown handfree guy; check out the user menu, it does go with a built in handfree.

  • Sure you can... Go Setting, sound settings, incoming call & choose ur songs under ringtones..

  • any one knows if i can set mp3 as ringtone for this phone?

  • i have a e360 samsung and i am satisfy, but there is little problem: it hasn't have built in handsfree in my opinion.at least i didn't find it yet.and another thing is that my cellphone is black so there are not only silver.if any other person finds the built in handsfree write like i did.thanks.

  • Great phone. But I'm quite upset that it doesn't come with voice dialing. Really defeats the point of me having a bluetooth headset to go with it now, since Im still gonna have to use the phone to place calls.. No so handy when youre driving.

  • juz got it for 2 weeks...really a nice phone with all the features needed...too bad it does not has card slot and had very low battery life...

  • Samsung e360 is so out,what phone is in year 2006

  • Check out the full review at:

  • can i ask y whenever i clse the phone there is a blue light on e external cover stating its time and battery life ?? the light dosent goes off.. will it affect my phone?.. is it always there so tht we can see the time clearly.. does anyone have this problem?

  • Just wanna ask a question, upto how many secs or mins it could record a video?

  • I got the samsung E360 for less than 5 days and had it replaced because the LCD screen went blank. The dealer replaced it with a new unit. Have been using it for around 3 weeks already, and its doing okay. I agree with Chelle, that its battery life really drains so fast, even without making so many calls. Also, the names sometimes do not appear in the inbox only their numbers. There are also times, when the screen upon opening the flip cover, would appear as a white screen, you would have to close and open the flip again, to have the correct wallpaper screen appear. Anyway, having a good time using this phone.

  • what about the sms tones, still default, or can use MP3 also. Someone can help ?

  • i got this phone about a week ago, it is about the same size as all the other common samsung flip phones, maybe abit thicker and longer, but it fits very nicely in my hand anyhow and i love the design! external buttons are very nice although I find it a little redundant as the phone as only 44mb of memory and cannot store many mp3s.. so it is not very often that I would play music on the phone anyway. Camera is very clear, video recording and playback abit laggy so I absolutely do not record videos on it.. It has a very nice external screen although I do not understand why there is an option for cover display wallpaper selection if it is only going to be on the external screen for 2 seconds when you close it? (is there any way the wallpaper can stay?) I am also very pleased with the voice clarity. The buttons are spaced apart very nicely and writing SMSes without dictionary is no problem at all. Problems with this phone would mainly be the extremely short battery life. I could charge the phone overnight and it would be dead by the time i get home from a day out, even though I do not talk on it very often, perhaps SMS.. Wish Samsung would produce higher quality batteries with longer life. Another would be the SMS inbox - sometimes i go through my inbox and the name of the sender does not show (only the number), or the name of the sender is actually WRONG! A message from 'jake' for example would sometimes turn out as 'rachel', which confuses me. Does anyone else have this problem? Overall i quite like this phone for its user friendliness and very nice screen display quality. Would give it a 7/10. :)

  • Can't really locate it's whereabout in the manual !?

  • Does this fone really have usb

  • Own that phone for a wk, mine is a special matt dark edition and it's kinda cool ! My last samsung x 430 is very reliable + durable - still in good shape but now spare for mum ! Mind you, battery life is stil very healthy after 2 years ! Back to this E360, am really suprised by the price , even cheaper than my x430 2yrs ago but with better display + lots of interesting (std) features, I like samsung for its build quality and durabiliy, the clarity of incoming voice you can't find in most model/made. OK it hasn't got a 2M camera ,so what,don't kid yourself with a camera phone, a phone is a phone, it's >5M era now, get a descent camera if you're serious about photography, the 0.3M is just for fun here, same philosophy on MP3, bonus is an added radio. Trust me guys , you can't be wrong with a samsung, just like mercedes & saab, you'll be a die hard follower like my family once you're addicted to samsung cell phone... a practical user in HK.

  • can anyone tell me about the bluetooth with Samsung e360?...is it good?...how are they compared to Ericson or Nokia?...Its not as bad as Motorola right?

  • Actually i think of buyin this hp... bt i saw all thos comment.. it make me a little bit scare... i juz wan2noe...do this hp reli so worst...can any1reply me here or send mess to my email.. [email protected]

  • is it posibble to record a bit from radio station by recorde/dictafon instaled in this phone???

  • E360 is tri-band: 850/900/1800

  • i) 'This phone has most things that High spec phones have with less quality...prevents the prices being cheap.' >> Fully agree this has abt the same px as the e730 and slight cheaper than x700. Why would i choose to get this? ii) 'What a useless phone this is... It is not a high spec phone, nor it is low end. an mp3 player, but with 40mb memory and no card slot makes the mp3 useless.' >> A nice clamshell modelled so many times ^NO Card Slot^ iii) 'Camera is horrific. The era has moved onto 2mp cameras....and yet this still has VGA.' >> i am using an older samsung with VGA. i dunno why it still exists in new models. kudos to Pikao - you have written everything to summarise what buyers think

  • it has Bluetooth vga camera speaker phone mp3 player fm radio it is good for a phone if u want a mp3 player go buy one u want a camera buy one this is a phone not a mp3 player or camera!

  • I luv the look of the phone and the comments are great but i would like to no if it has mp3 and where can i buy it and how much does it cost if anyone could get back to me that would be great thanks

  • Nice simple little phone, about 10 000 B (200 Euros)in Bangkok, very cheap.

  • hey i reackon its a nice fone a fone is a fone, so u can talk to people and text to people thats what counts if u want a good camara buy one dont go crazy just b'coz the fone hasnt got good mp if u dont like it dont buy it find another fone its as easy as that.

  • omg this is the gr8est fone

  • at least better than samsung x660

  • Well, if you want a camera why dont you BUY a camera instead, personally i think this phone has alot of nice features for a PHONE. i think this is a good phone

  • Nice Design but Why Not 2MP Camera??

  • Great phone!!!

  • no MP camera no card slot small memory old design basically a **** fone sorry samsung about the only good phones you have out is the d600 and the e770

  • I like this model very much with the buttons under the 2nd LCD and the oval shape... But I agree if you say that samsung makes the most horrible phones at the moment, for example the new samsung smartphones like the P860/P850

  • i really think that Samsung has really getting off the track of good looking fones. i mean take a look at serene. and the thing is that now days NOKIA is producing even better looking fonez with more features. I'm sorry, but Samsung has left the battelfield, for quit a time.

  • do you really think that everybody's searching for a total-phone with all the useless stuff you mentioned (for a crazy price)?...this phone has all you may need in a phone (and even more). Simple.

  • No 256K colors, No Card Slot, No MP Camera, Old Design... Sincerely, a Crap phone.

  • Terrible mistake by Samsung.... What a useless phone this is... It is not a high spec phone, nor it is low end. It doesn't fit anywhere. Mp3 buttons indicate that it's an mp3 player, but with 40mb memory and no card slot makes the mp3 useless. Camera is horrific. The era has moved onto 2mp cameras....and yet this still has VGA. Not to mension disadvantages of being Triband, rather than Quad band (especially in USA) This phone has most things that High spec phones have...with less quality. Hence, having these unneccessay functions that don't even work properly prevents the prices being cheap. Samsung wasn't thinking when the annouced this phone. My guess is that this phone will not reach mass production stage.

  • oops... din realise it has bluetooth... edittt

  • external mp3 buttons are nice... but still no bluetooth and only vga cam...
