But when I check the dialed number it shows the name of the person that i acuity needed to talk but his number has changed to the one I actually got to talk (the wrong persons number) This is really annoying and sometime its very embarrassing also. Once I got a call and it show a name of Person A but the call was from a Person B Can anyone help me please ... thanks in advance

  • I absolutely love this phone. Especially the ring tone that I have 'The Cat Dance'. It cheers everyone up. I have mine over five years now and it's still working away. I love the keys as the lettering is very easy to see. I will be really upset when it finally 'dies'. I would love to get another one. I have newer replacement mobiles but I'm still using my E700. Please bring it back on the market.

  • i still am using this phone, i don't understand why you stopped supplying it. plz i need one for my grand-mum for its very durable, easy to use, full of luxury, i mean just bring it back to the market, remember old is gold. i love the phone. will use it until, only time can tell.+

  • I just ordered a Samsung e700 on the internet from Minidigital.com.au. I hope it turns out to be as good as you all say! Regards: JO

  • can i use it like GPRS modem?

  • ya its good

  • its very good phone, I never had so perfeck phone, try to buy it ;]

  • its very nice, every thing is good about it. its color screen,its camera,its external lcd,ringtones. just simply beautiful.

  • E700... The stuff of legend.. when this first came out, everybody wanted one. One of master pieces created by Samsung.

  • very weak camera n cable need to change it and it cost $120 AUD,problems with TFT screen.For short time usage is good for 2 or more year not a good phone to use rather have nokia 3200 then this E700

  • my first camera flip 2004-06..usual weak battery but software all good...hahahaha

  • I bought it approximately 4 years ago, when it was first produced. I still use same phone and I think it s a wonderful phone. If you need just calling and sending messages it s a classy designed ideal phone. Once I paid 20 Euro for repairing about a screen problem. If it s possible I would buy a new one after this one has been broken down. Also it s very useful.(get messages and calender with one key)

  • Very bad phone quality. Quick tipp: If your screen is blank, close it again and make a photo while closed and then the screen should work again.Problem!: You have to do it every time your want to use the screen.

  • My original Samsung E700 'died' two years after I purchased it on my vacation in Spain. Due to the sand, I thought. I was so naive. Of course, incredible beautiful phones like these are built to last for only two years. Why else whould you buy a newer phone? Long story short: when my Sony Ericsson K800i didn't recharge anymore in the end of last year, I dove on eBay and got myself a refurbished Samsung E700 from Hong Kong. And thus the most beautiful phone ever built twirls in my hands again. So while I'm sure the E700 won't last longer than two years again, there is a lot to love about this phone. The outside of the phone is just incredible sleek, with a stylish darkblue line breaking the metallic bodycolour. It flips easily, it's got great buttons for calling and sms-purposes and it's still equiped with that sweet little VGA-camera. You could just call it poor now. The callsound, speaker and the amount of functions too are quite pover for todays standards. Back in 2004 however, the E700 was top of the bill. If you too had great memories shared with the phone, you should consider to look on eBay. It's worth it.

  • preview error always apear when i will use the cam how can i remove it? pls help

  • Hi I just bought this phone. Is it just me or is there not a menu? How do I get to the clock? I know how to get to the date (via the calenda) but how do I set the clock? And is there a main menu? thanks

  • it is very nice phone but the camera keeps saying preview error after 3 years and the picture turns green otherwise very nice top model

  • It is good telephone, but I don't like menu style and sms ringtones... I use it for 4th years and it was repaired only one time. It works great. ;)

  • i had a E700 3 years ago but within the first year of using it, i had it repaired for 4 times already because of the LCD connector something. my cousin bought one also and at least 3 other of my colleagues at work. they encountered the same problem. now the other unit my cousin bought is still functioning after he changed the LCD twice and changing it is costly. lucky me coz i emailed samsung philippines about it and presented the documents from the service center. they exchanged it with a Samsung E720 which i am still using right now. I have no complaint about it. it is very dependable although the rubber portions are already worn and deformed and had to be removed. i really appreciated the move of the samsung representative who was very polite and kind enough to give me another phone. plus, the local dealer here in bacolod city offered a free mp3 to go with it. my only regret is that my cousin has to spend for the LCD to be repaired and the units that my colleagues bought which they were only able to used for a few months.

  • this is very very bad phone. not only it doesn't have otions to be graded as ok, 99% it vill bi broken after 10 months and repare will blow your mind. DO NOT BY THIS PHONE!!! EVER

  • Great for it's time, spent 400+ euro for it in 2004 and very happy with it. Still use it to this day as my main phone, but it's lack of BT and gprs incompatibility with new service provider makes me look for a new replacement. Batt life went from about 5 days between recharge when new to about 2 or 3 days now.

  • I had one of these phones and I loved it never had any problems with it. I bet the other retards have either been really unlucky or havent been looking after theirs

  • One of the best phones I�ve ever had! Cool design, great features and really tough! I still use it !!

  • there is no phone that give problems like this one,E700 sucks, i wont advice any one to buy it is a waste

  • This phone sucks! I have one of this before and it didn't last long enough it got broken...

  • forget my privacy password, any help to clear

  • Hi this is Prakash... Actually i lost my SAMSUNG mobile. And i want to block that mobile.How can i do that? Can anyone suggest me ASAP pleaseeeeeee....

  • I had this phone ,but it had a problem with the video conector inside it ,and now i wanna get another one for my colection but i can't finde any in romania :( i just got E720 on 75 euros , E700 must be around 50 euros.

  • can any one tell me how to deactivate t9 in this unit....... tnx ... ive tried deactivating it but it does not work... is there an automatic deactivation of t9? coz everytime i type a msg i always have to deactivate the t9 manually... pls tell me how to deactivate it permanently... tnx

  • can any one tell me how to send message to group.Is that option is there in this mobile

  • how to send message to group. is there option in this mobile e700

  • Hi i had the same problem with the screen gone black and sometimes white. i need an opinion. Is it worthed to arrange it? or sould i buy a new phone?

  • I reckon if you're a parent and ur kid is just badgering u to get them a mobile phone, this is just the right one, it's a very handsome unit, with just enough features to make sure that ur kid cant do anything bad on it. 9/10

  • I loved this phone when i had it 4 years ago. Still this it is a gorgeous mobile phone but compared to the latest handsets, not many features.

  • This phone was pritty good, 4 YEARS AGO!!!

  • to all samsung e700 user can u all tell me why i can download samsung original polyphonic....i love that tone name sonata...(i not remember that tone name)plz help me

  • and festa... which samsung are you getting? I would like to comment on this phone, and would like to state that yes this phone although it has no mp3, is absolutely brilliant. I had it for 6 months until its screen completely went black mysteriously for life. Sold it as a faulty phone at ebay for 200 Euros...not too bad ey?

  • To be honest ive has this phone for almost a year and have had no problems apart from the fact it likes to take pics in my pocket.The camera quality is fine and it's easy to use which is why my new phone for xmas is also a Samsung.

  • you so lucky coz dont have any problem with your e700.maybe 10 in 1000 are lucky like u

  • i have this phone from 2 years!!and the phone works perfect even now.i had no problems with the camera.i think all of you who have problems wiith this phone is because it isn't original.if it is made in china it is a crap.mine is made in korea and it just works perfect.

  • yes ma sis bought the fone and she gave it 2 me n i really loved it but then i have the same problems its very annoying!!!!!1

  • s700 full of problem.....throw it away

  • i thought this phone was the bomb when i got time running across yeah the works i liked but..............the screen went blank,cant take any pictures and i thought it was because it fell from me but my mother got one shortly after and her screen is blank too,something is definately wrong.

  • i am using this phone for a year and three months, this e700 is not the phone i can boast of this is the worst samsung i have ever come across.the pone is full of problems from the key pad to the pannel

  • i have this phone 1 years.this is the worst Samsung phone evenmade.kamera stoped every month and i must go to servis.one day i will chrashed him.

  • this E700 samsung mobile is full of problems..first the camers stops working...and then the virbrate doesn't work...and fnally and amazingly...the keypad doesn't work if i switched my mobile phone on...i couldn't write my pin code....so this phone is useless to me.

  • e700 is bad serouisly 7mb,4vgcam, its crab?

  • Well a lot of u have the problem of white screen, i have a black screen problem. 2 days ago i opened the mobile and found the screen black. 1st i thought it was off but after restarting it same problem only the front LCD was working.So i switched it off hoping it would b fine after some time. but same problem till now. now i also have the white screen sometimes but remains black when i open da mobile. i tried 2 see if i da screen worked at any angle. i found out that it worked in 45-55 degree angle, sometimes normal and sometimes too bright. now i will have 2 give it 4 repairing as i have no warranty.it is goin to b costly and i will have 2 pay 4 it because my dad will kill me if he knows.

  • The phone has now decided to only give me the name of who is calling me OR the name of who is messaging me, depending on how I entered the number...ie if I entered the number as given to me, it goes to call option and I know if they call me, but only get the number if they text me. If I entered their number when I recieved a text, I continue to know when they texted me, but not if they call me: number only. now I need to carry everyone's numebr around in my head: v difficult. I have tried saving everyone to phone rather than SIM...same problem....any one else have this problem? Could nice person from Samsung give help? Thanks

  • i have this phone as well,and yes i too have the same problem!!but i still love this fone to bits,i've had it for 3 years now!and i want to keep it forever as a 2nd phone.none of the new fone quality is as good feel as this baby's!!

  • sorry bout that. the e700 is a good phone wen it came out but now is is ABSOLUTELY PONY!! all i could use it for is ringin because it's pony. basically it's PONY!! and thats that!!!

  • the e700 is a good phone wen it came outbut now is is ABSOLUTELY

  • i have had the same problem as every one else exept mine has seemed to last longer...as this phone as been passed down 3 timesthrought my family i just recived it after losing my new phone...and has been working fine for about 4 months untill last week the screen went white and now the keypad doesnt work, its now just a useless...the onlything i can do is turn it on and off...is there any point in trying to fix it or should i just get a new phone...

  • we all have the same problem the display is giving me a headache!!!!!!!! ive change the flex for almost 5 times!! i hate dis Fone!!!

  • I fell in love from the time I saw the mobile in the shop. Got mad to buy, even though it cost me alot. During the first 12 months I had no problems with it, but after the camera and the screen started to give problems. It became white and I couldn't use it anymore, I was so annoyed! Now it's been over a year since I did not use it, but I'm missing it alot, and in the same time, it's not worth it arranging it. What a shame! Even friends I know who bought it had the same problems.

  • love the phone but the price is a tad on the high side. the infrared port is also prone to probs

  • Dispaly have replaced for few times, still having the same problem. Before this unit, I have a flip phone.....samsung too....also have the same problem on the display. Sumsung have to improve it.

  • lovely phone sounds great only problem is the cam is tempremetal anyone know how i would fix this please cause love the phone and has to be the best i have yet shame about the cam but its going to take alot for me to part with it

  • this phone screen goes very quickly. it is also not worth the price not enough features to satisfied a phone lover

  • When i have an in coming call the ring only goes for 10 seconds. I would like to know how i can get it to ring for longer???? Please

  • this phone is easy to use and its shape is also good but it shows problem after 1year.

  • had the phone for about 2 years, camera went recently and now the screen doesnt work at all, Its driving me mad, use cant use the phone at all. If anyone else had the same prob, what did you do???? did samsung replace it, iv got insurance on mine, so i hope they do.

  • I've had this phone for 16 months now and have not had a single problem. Its hard wearing to say the least. Its been through the wash twice and dropped serveral imes and is still gong strong! I'd recommend this phone to anybody.

  • the camera is disgusting. it doesnt send MM files. ok, i dunno how to transfer stuff frm d phone to other devices. ne1 gimme a clue? i think de design is quite annoying.

  • Anyone knows the code for #7465625*638*Code ?

  • Great Phone, shame about the screen. A few months after i got this i got vertical lines all over the screen, then it strtaed going white. now it doesnt work at all.

  • it's a really good phone, i had it for an year and a half, and it's stil in a good condition it past to so much trubles:i've just drop it in whater:D...but it's stil alive.i love it.

  • good design,bad features..the problem is the flip :( it will crash in a few months..

  • Don't buy this phone...the screen is the first thing to go. Had the phone for about a year or so. They even said it's not worth fixing. Went back to Motorola, will never buy a samsung again. My friend has the same phone, she is complaining about the battery...doesn't last long.

  • Silent button does not work. Can't send busines cards. no radio no recorder, can't add tunes, can't use gprs to logon to wap, and damn camera stopped working. the calendar is crap but the alarm system is good Good points: Alarm system , the look , nothing else :-/ Also a feature missing.. can't tell when an sms was sent

  • well the problem you all mentioned(the display goes white,or camera is not working etc) appears because of the flexible band in the phone....I know...we repair lots of telephones of these with this problem.....they always go wrong....this phone is not really worth....although its' colours and sounds are beautiful...

  • Above it is mentioned that you can make mp3 as a ringtone. Can anyone please tell me how to make them because I dont know. Thank you

  • Well i have E700 but I want to know if it can play WAV files, please somebody tell me:)

  • 2 Years past...Still working good, no problems at all!!! Compared to other color phones - more and more faster phonebook and menu than even Nokia. Sound - the best, with some trick u can use mp3 as ringtone, personal rings to names, camera - the obsolete deFacto standard of mobile cam, why to pay more fo MegaPixels and get bigger and equal part bigger noise and sucks colors. If youre pro-sumer - buy PCB133LBE cable and make your E700 as you wish - even Windows mobile Edition Style. The Be-e-e-e-est from classical Samsung - first with internal antenne - first with best MobiCam, First with best TFT Display. This phone is the legend and some day will be in Samsung Museum of Arts!!!

  • hi all.. can i know what the problem of this phone. it cant power on altough the battery is nice and not having a problem..? please somebody reply..?

  • This phone is quality apart from the featurez they are prity $***...

  • well it has been 2 yrs(wen it was just launched in my country) that i have been using this phone!i must say that it is a gud 1 with gud features though the screen burst after using it 4 1 yr but after i changed the screen,it is working fine since then!the sound n cam are the best features that this phone has!no other phones can beat the pic quality it got!i wont be denying that it got its own share of problem but come on pple which phone doesnt have any prob?samsung rocks n this week am going to pamper myself by getting an all new samsung mobile!

  • This phone was quite good for the first 18 months or so. Now I am experiencing problems similar to those in these posts. My battery will not last more than a day or two and the main display has gone all white. The brightness and contrast have killed the display almost to the point where I cannot see it unless I view it from an angle. My next phone will not be a Samsung. Once bitten twice shy.

  • I've had the phone for 24 months now, the screen went lighter after 14 months and the camera stopped taking pictures a month later, I'm upgrading in 2 weeks, Samsung will not be my next phone!

  • i have had this fone for a while and it's been having some problems with the screen going white. Also the battery life is very short

  • I get the opinion that a lot of users expect to be able to drive their cars over the phone and still expect it to work. I cannot follow the complaints but I can say that my Samsung is still working perfect, it plays tunes and displays my Logo and lets me take fair quality photos which I can download with the data cable. For good photos I use a proper camera, the E700 is a phone - for speech.

  • received a seccond hand phone from friend. roughly used. housing cracked and scrached a bit. but the phone(, camera, batery display, and sound) in top condition. amazing picture quality compared to contemporary phones. recomend to others even though now out of market.

  • iv had this phone for a few months now and i think its great i havent had any problems with it. i would reccomend this phone to anyone. the picture is great and the photos come out great.

  • The Samsung E700 was my first phone, I really liked it apart from some annoying things like the crap resolution on the camera, and the fact that the camera activation button is on the outside which resulted in a LOT of pictures of the inside of my pocket, and the way sms messages in progress couldn't be saved when answering an incoming call, but I could put up with these things! The fact that the phone completely DIED exactly 2 years after I got it (starting with the LCD screen going) will put me off EVER buying another Samsung product. It was an expensive phone! I don't agree with the "disposable" attitude some manufacturers seem to have...not good for consumers or the environment! I just wish I had done some more research before deciding on that brand...Buyers beware!

  • I've had this phone for 2 years now and the screen has gone bust twice already! Once when i just bought it and the second time just recently. Judging from the comments in the forum i guess this is a common problem. Such a shame for Samsung they make beautiful phones but with crap quality. I don't know if i'll ever buy a Samsung ever again :(

  • it's a cool phone but i have a problem i forgot my phone password so i can't delete some stuff or rest the counters, what is the solve? any help? thanks BiO

  • Hey Its me Raju from Bangladesh.I am a hardcore Samsung fan.I have this model of Samsung since 1.5 years. Its going superb up to now.its picture quality is A1.And it is easy to use.So from me bravo Samsung.

  • Well,its just i hae a problem wit my phone. I bought in the year 2005 August.I once fell from my baby's hand onto the ground and ever since it went blank.It also affected the camera cuz it ain't taking pictures again.I must confess it has served me well. It is an excellent phone so to speak.One more thing; it is said to be a browsing phone but it isn't browsing at all even aftre setting the config. Thanks

  • hey guys, is there any way to fix this phone, my dad had a little water on it, so the main lcd screen lost red color (there is no red now), and the camera doesn't work anymore,how do you fix this? how much would it cost?

  • Whatever you do don't buy this phone.I bought it one and a half years ago and yesterday its screen went bust.I will now never buy another Samsung phone in my life.

  • The Samsung e700 is an excellent phone that has great aesthetics and a good range of features. Like many phones, it has a fair share of problems \ errors, especially the dreaded "message preview error". The error is usually attributed to a fine wire behing the screen snapping, not the camera itself. The problem can be fixed by replacing it, which means buying a new LCD screen, as it is connected directly to it.

  • ASALAMAYKUM This fone is too god. i am from pakistan .. before this i am using sony errcson k300i but now i am using sumsungE700......and this is one of the best fones of sumsung this is my promise.100%

  • the phone is good,you're cryin' for nothing, you listened music to this phone and now it's not working anymore? maybe u don't know that this phone ain't got mp3 player...and u gotta take care of it like any other phone,and if the display is not working is because of the dust

  • I have Samsung is working very well. But only some days ago, my daughter put in Headphone (Headphone of the same Mobile) to listen to music. After that I can not listen to any call(recieve and call). I can only receive and call through Headphone. Without Headphone I can not hear anything. I brought to the Shop, but they could not help me. Someone told me that I should changed the Profile of the Mobile, but I could not find where the Profile is located and how to change it. Will you be so kind as to explain to me what I should do in oder I can use my Samsung Mobile without Headphone as I have used it before. I am looking to receiving your response as soon as possible.

  • dis fone is awful....i live in nigeria and got a couple of friends who use dis fone..we all seem to have d same problem and d fone was so expensive and couldnt even survive 6mths...shame on samsung

  • the phone is one of the most beautiful ever... and thats about it. i've had it for about 6 month, and i got no problem with it as a phone. its quite great actually, the batery lasts long enough, good signal and stuff, but other than that its stupid. camera aint satisfactory, no voice call and the menu isnt very userfriendly to search for contacts. anyway, i recomant it only if you want to use it a phone. it totaly sucks considering all other features.

  • Yes, when i bought this phone is was very pleased with it! but after a year more the phone got crazy, the battery was up. When i want to charge him up the screen was al over white, besides i got a new phone that's a not a bagger like this one. sucky samsung phone the E700 , most of the people E700 are already died out! But yes hope that samsung have fixed that problem! Very funny it was the phone died after a year more! When the guarrantee also have a year! But i don't think that won't help your problem ouut of the world! What i can say? worst phone ever without any features, The phone + point was the Design, the most people fell in love with it. But yes nothing to say anymore..

  • i have this phone at the mo and i can say it is good. it has beautiful design, great camera, two LCDs, but these phones have short lifes. i have my phone from a year and a month ago it started with errors. first phone book, after that camera, and a week ago it stopped working. i dunno why is that [i have 3 other phones all are still "alive"] be carefull with this phone and if u can take another model of samsung. this is not the best.

  • A few good things about this phone it takes and save the picture at the same time doing that in about 0.4 of a second and you can have the view finder for the camera on the external screen by shutting the phone and holding down the camera button plus this phone USUALLY work quite fast it only wieghs 94grams and it has an allright clarity screen...

  • I was 12years old when i got his phone on a $42 a moth plan now im 13 and regreting it!!!It has good looks and its very compact although it has it has some good features the rest are crap!!!

  • does it have video or flash

  • i just want to say that i love the look of this phone. But i was so dissapointed when i turned it on the menu is horrible its so ugly i thought it might be like the more modern phones it has a very old fasioned menu screen!! and there are no good features! OVERALL CRAP PHONE

  • Well...firstly it looks GREAT stylish,small, cute..its manly but also girly..from that point its wonderful..but the camara is rubbish, infared does NOT work, the screen goes funny after a while and It has small memory.So if i was you dont buy it...its not that great when it comes to features.

  • the phone design is nice, but the other things from the phone sucks hell!!! no any good features... en btw i got this phone 2 but the screen gave it up about 1.3 years. most of the people have the same problem. screen of this phone sucks really hard.

  • does a infrared adaptor work with e700?i have one and i used it on nokia6100,6600 and many others

  • this is a great phone, and although ive heard many people complaining about errors and malfunctions, etc, my phone has been dropped countless times (on tiles, i might add), and the top is held together with super glue from when my brother threw it at the mantlepiece in a tantrum. strangely enough, it still works great!

  • This cellular one in is very good, because the viewfinder the times erases I prefers a V3

  • This phone sucks so much it sucks vacuum. It's another case of a bug infested first-try phone... The clamshell design makes the data connection cable between the screen and the main part VERY fragile and I've seen a lot of defective E700's with this problem, including my own. After 1 year of normal use it won't even communicate properly with network anymore. Camera gave up after 7 months. By FAR the worst mobile I've ever had and a shame for a company with such a good reputation of producing quality products.

  • I love this its a cool phone its really sensitive but is it true that if you change the whole cover apart from the inside it erases all memory

  • hi, i found tat the phone cannot use downloaded ring tones as caller group's tones rite.. tat's the only way make me disappointed of it

  • Someone please help me on the next matter. How can I hide the numbers from my SIM in the Phonebook? I keep numbers in the phone and also on the SIM and it's annoyng to have duplicate numbers in the list.

  • can any one help me i have a mms that i want as a ringtone but cant work out how

  • a very cool sleek design very pleased with the handset

  • This phone is great. For you who have problems with LCD it is becouse of dust between screen and tastature sections,so you have to send it to service so they can clean phone from dust.

  • Hey y'all, i kinda having the same prob with Ani down there. Lately my LCD kinda blurry and the outer LCD blank out. I love my phone so i try to change the LCD, but here in Malaysia it cost me about RM250 (USD62.00 approx.)It is a gud fone relying on the picz quality but the IR regretfully can only send & recieve contact.

  • I have used this Samsung cellphone and it's a major upgrade to my old Samsung V200C. The fact that there are decent ringtones is a big bonus. Also there is JAVA on this handset and that games do work.

  • i found this set is fantastic and its camera result is cool too and every one asks me about the price of this set .i prefer all of u to have this phone its the cool man

  • SHAME ON SAMSUNG,how it can be?!! But,that's mistake is nothing,samsung have now more than 30 models better than THIS CRAB E700,Hay guys what about (D500 THE PHONE OF THE YEAR),Z300,E720,E730,D600,E600,..... Never leave samsung.. Cairo-egypt

  • well my problem now is the camera. screen while in the camera mode filled with different colors and it does show the real image. how can i fix this!

  • Hey when i start my camera to take a photo it says preview Error, can anyone tell me how to stop this so i can take pictures?

  • i cant understand, why when you buy this phone from certain retailers, the usb data cable, which you NEED to transfer photos and numbers etc, isnt included in the package!!!! Its all well having infrared but thats no good for photos. These cables ive seen cost a fortune and i dont see why we should spend �30 on a cable when its cost us loads to buy the handset itself! The only other way in which you can transfer ur pics from your fone to a PC ive found is by sendin an MMS to an email address, but again thats costing 30p or more per pic and when you've got 100 or so photos, you dont want to be using up all your credit for that!!

  • A good fone to start with but definitely not worth the money!! Spend �200 on it when it was first brough out, what a big mistake that was! And this isn't my first one! I had to change my first fone after 10 days, cuz the camera had already starting packing up. Must admit its been thru the wars, dropped in the sink once, thought it was finished but after bein dried with a hairdryer it worked fine. Been dropped a few too many times, by accident of cors and camera and screen was ok but the strange thing is its just packed up and all i did was open the fone to read a text messgae! Screen has completely gone!! Front display is fine but when you open it, it either flashes a white screen or its totally black. Such a disappointment. My sister bought one exaxtly the same, at the same time and hers went the same way! We've only had it a year!!! Loved this fone when i first bought it. Camera is fantastic quality, good design etc but ive never come across a phone which breaks dwn so quickly. Anyone thinking of buying one of these, my advice to you is don't!! There seems to be a common prob with these phones and thats the screen. Now after a year ive got to go out again and look for another fone and just hope in another twelve months i wont be doin the same thing!!! Us students need all the money we've go for other things! We dont want to have to keep wasting it on phones that dopnt work! Samsung sort it out!!

  • Is there a conspiracy going on?? I bought 2 E700 cameras 20 months ago from the Link. 1 from Tmobile on 12 month contract. 1 from O2 pay & go which went back 3 times with the same problem before they fixed it. We went to Thailand this year and bought local cards so we could use the phones there. Came back this month and decided to both go on Virgin as we liked the bundle offer. So far both cameras worked fine on any cards in both countries. 3 days ago my wife switched her phone off while she was in a meeting and when she turned it back on again had the white screem problem on the inner display. We were quoted �40 to repair it from a local shop. The wierd thing is I decide to let her borrow my E700 while hers is getting fixed. She put her sim card in my phone and switched it back on. My phone screen went white as well. Could it be coincidence that my ribbon just became loose at exactly the same time? What are the odds of that. I went to the Link where we bought both phones and sim cards from. The shopgirl (who I think was traing to be company lawyer or chief engineer or her dad owns Virgin) almost called me a liar when I told her. In her "4" years experience she had never seen a sim card that could possibly affect two phones. To prove it she put the card in a brand new E720 and showed me it working. I am going to give her the address of this forum to read!! So I will look at this problem logically. I have two identical products (E700) one works fine the other not. I take a component (sim card) from the broken E700 and transfer it to the good E700. The good now behaves in exactly the same way as the broken one. The only common denominator is the component. Could a problem in the sim card have "shorted out the E700 software? Having read a lot of messages I tried to check the cable m,yself first. I took the screws out but I was scared to break the back off. Can anyone tell me how to get the back off? Does the spring clip have to come off first and if so how? cheers for any help anyone can give. Has anyone who has this inner display problem tried the sim in another E700? because I am going to contact Samsung about this please email me and (or) respond on the forum. Bob

  • I realy regret spending good money on this phone!!the thing has never worked properly from day 1 ! i have to switch it on and off about three to four times before the screen can get activated i've tried to get it fixed been told that its a software problem and no one has that software!! (at least in Zambia where i live)stresses me everyday!

  • i am only 14 years old but last christmas i moaned for ages for my mum to buy me this phone - now i have got it all that seems to happen is problems! it sometimes automatically turns itself off whilst im using it - and after reading some of the reviews it doesnt seem like i made a wise choice to pick this mobile phone!

  • I have a Samsung E700 and I can't transfer picture from my mobile to PC. Can anyone tell me what to do. Thank you

  • Oh im so angry about this. We do all have the same problem about this mobile samsung E700 my display is just the way you have have discribe and the camera. What can we do???

  • If i want to transfer my piks to pc.what should i do?i bought this infrared device first but there was some kinda problem with the cd.and now i bought this data cable thingy.can anyone guide me please! what should i do?reply me back asap,*mail me*.thanks!

  • I just got a Samsung E700 off ebay and went to use the camera and got the preview error message. However i got it working by turning on the camera with the phone shut first then just opening up the phone and going to take photos.

  • Hi guys i've been putting up with the screen problem for a a few months now and will have to unitl the 8800's are avaliable in my country, today i discovered a partial fix for the problem.. this morning i decided to change the wallpaper from a photo i took to an image on the phone and guess what, my screen is perfect now although i'm still getting the camera problem but atleast i can now see the screen 100% let me know if this works.. Calvin

  • Damn I am also expeiencing the white screen problem and the camera not working when the shell is open. My phone is also past the warranty period .. not happy :( Will try opening up and stuffing around, can't get any worse I guess

  • well i want to buy an samsung e 700 and i noticed from your posts that it has a little ''bug'' but not all the e700 have it?why is that?...i mean i like the phone realy much and i want to buy one but i am afraid.....even if the screen goes white....how much would it cost to ave it repair....werry cheap problably ...so i am thinkink of buying one....what do u say??

  • i had a e700 for a year and it was fine for a few months but then the screen went completely white and the camera wouldnt work. also know when i turn it on none of the buttons work so i cant access my phone.it is so annoying. why is this????

  • Well, this is what happened to MY E700, working as a divemaster in thailand I had my phone in the sidepocked of my shorts, and moving equipment to a speedboat on the beach I forgot about the phone and it got weat when I was walking in the water, the phone didnt work, couldnt start it after it dried, a friend told me about this thai guy who fixes phones, so I gave it to him, but he couldnt fix it because he usually handles Nokias, anyway, after careful investigation I saw that one of the pads on the battery was burned, so I bought a new battery and the phone worked just fine, now about six months later my phone started acting weird, the screen was showing everything all distorted and garbled, but then be ok after a while, then after a week or so the screen started to go white, after turning the phone off/on it worked again, and so on until finally it didnt do anythign else but showing white, then the outer display stopped working too, so I had a workign phone without displayes, after reading all the posts here, I thought I should give flashing a try, but last night I was angry at my phone and took it apart, everything looked ok, all chips and the motherboard was nice, except the connector between the motherboard and the lcd which was all green and black, fungus or whatever it was, so I cleaned all the pins on the connectors and put the phone together again and now it works just fine again, its like new, because I cleaned the inside of the windows except the shell which is all scratched and ugly from over 20 months of dropping.. anyway, open the phone, clean the connector and you might be fine, IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH A WHITE SCREEN..

  • the problem about the white screen is because of the bad connection between the mainboard and the display.this happens allot tho the not so well build clamshells after about a year.its the mecanical stress made by the openning and closing of the cell.It's bassicly a bad case of production and concept

  • Yes ive had the e700 for a year now and unfortunatly it hant been a pleasant experience. The screen goes white and cant see nething wen i open it. thing to do is press the camera on the side and sumthimes it goes away but sometimes it doesnt, silly phone!

  • Same flickering and later white screen problem as all of you after 14 months. Havy discussion with the shop where I bought it (free on a 2 year contract) In NL there's a law that says that even when the guarantee has expired, you may claim price reduction of repair or partial money back when the product does'nt fuction as 'to be expected in nbormal use'. The 2 years contract strongly suggests at least 2 years of troublefree use to be expected, so.... Result: heavy dispute, ending in: go to court if you want your claim rewarded. I opened the case and noticed a partially cracked flexible between the case and the frontpanel. However, it's a ~60 leads multilayer flexible , one end a 60 pins coinnector (no problem), but the other end a multylayer printed circuit, so no way to (fine)solder some wires. (:-( End of story, other shop, other make. Any other Dutchman that would join for a legal action?

  • Yeah i have had the same problem with my phone. white screen the letters and menu all wrong the wrong way. Phone only 12months old. it hasnt been droped or anything its in great condition.

  • I just got the white screen problem tonight. I think it's due to the amount of times a drop it. I showed my dad the problem, and he thought this as well. (He fixes Cameras and comes across this problem in the LCD camera screens aswell). So he's recommended me to buy an new LCD screen, and he'll install it for me. I'll let you know if this works.

  • Well i sure am glad that im not the only person who has had problems with their Samsung E700! One day my camera stopped working and the screen would go completely white. Now the screen is completely white no matter what. I took it into the Samsung repair centre here in WA, and waited 2 weeks because i was informed that i had to wait on parts? 2 weeks later i return to the store to find out that no parts have been ordered for my handset and that it is corrosion that has corrupt my handset which voids the warranty. I am very very dissapointed that my phone is now wasted and over 200 numbers lost. Any suggestions for what i can do? Please help!

  • Well guys, since my posting on the 14th of July, where I stated how to temporarily fix the screen so it's still usable as a phone and not a camera, I have finally sent the damn thing in for repair. Friday after charging it, I turned the phone on and couldn't see a thing, the screen flickered on and off. Totally stuffed. I phoned the samsung agents in my area and they said to me to bring it in. They would check if it was "the latent defect" and if so, would fix it free of charge even though the phone is out of warranty. I'm waiting to hear about the outcome. Will keep u posted :-)

  • Anthony, interesting stories/ theories you have. I guess the main question you have to ask yourself is how does Samsung benefit from bugging its own software so the screen fails after its 12-month warranty? Will they get a commission from the local technician who replaces the screen with a cheap replica from China? Or will they gain more customers as a result of the poor build quality? You can flash your phone with all the cool firmware you want but your screen will still not work. What you need to do, is go to your local phone technician (who secretly works for Samsung!) and get them to replace the screen.

  • hey i have had this fone for a year now and the screen went white and the camera was a green blur. i fixed it which cost me 50 pounds but i got it back the signal does not work can someone please tell me what to do??!!!

  • Rather impressed when I purchased it. I am one to be intuitive in the purchase of technology, and decided on the phone as being a good all round choice. All the features were fantastic, it had a camera, it had MMS, GPRS, many other great features. This was in February 2003, on a 2 year contract with my phone company. I'm still on this contract, as there are only a few months left, and I get $60 worth of calls for $60 a month. It just so happens, that in May this year, I opened the phone and Hey Presto! No screen! I had half of the screen visible, though it was back to front. I tolerated it, thinking it may be temporary, and I could deal with it for the mean time. Now, it has gone completely white, no vision at all. My camera still works, so I am lucky there. I have ordered a USB data cable from eBay and have downloaded the latest flash, and am pending the results of this once it is received. However, to anyone wanting to purchase Samsung Technology, I WARN AGAINST IT. They released a TV in the 1980's that had a fuse. Now of course, most TV's have fuses, but this was 'timing fuse'. 100 hours after the TV was used, it blew, forcing a technician to be called out to fix it. How do I know this? My dad was one such technician. How is that for corporate deception? As for phones, my mum had a similar problem on her Motorola V720, the screen went white. People, this is not a hardware problem. In rare cases will the ribbons be of poor quality, my technician father confirmed this when he opened it and checked my ribbon. No faults at all. And it is not a ribbon, when my screen goes back to front, and then switches off. Samsung has placed a bug in the firmware causing the phone to screw up approximately 14-15 months after purchase, 2-3 months after their warranty, forcing you to repair it out of your own pocket. Sound familiar? As for flashing, I believe this is possibly the only way to fix the problem. Buy a cable off eBay, they are about US$7. Good luck, and don't buy this phone, get a trusted old Nokia (My 3310 still works fine after 4 years!).

  • My screen has recently gone blank and white on camera mode and is brighter than usual on all other menus, and the contrast between the background and the text is decreasing, making it harder to read. When i take photos the screen is just a green blur. Taking the battery out and using the camera reset code has not worked. Even when i pull the screen 90 degrees towards me the display does not show the camera mode screen on it on it. Is there any way of fixing this problem without changing the inner LCD screen, as they are horribly expensive. The outer camera view screen works fine! Please post back :( i cant live without my samsung x~*~sam~*~x

  • hey!! i am also experiencing those defects.. the preview error the white screen... wat can i do to fix this??? thanx

  • Yes I seem to have the same white screen problem, and now it has all gone black (including the screen outside....). what can I do/where do i take it to fix it? cheers!

  • Hi i would like to join you all in the white screen/no camera gang. I am glad its not only me suffering this problem i thought me kids had done sumint but obviously not (will have to unground them now lol). what is the cost to get this fixed????

  • Hi i would like to join you all in the white screen/no camera gang. I am glad its not only me suffering this problem i thought me kids had done sumint but obviously not (will have to unground them now lol). what is the cost to get this fixed????

  • My screen just went white and its about 19 months old i think so im gonna have to pay for it to get fixed :( I fink samsung should send out a free new phone with �100 of credit free to all those affected by this tht would be cool!!

  • To Kristine: The same happened to mine, one day I flipped it up and the screen was blank. I had to send it in 4 repair but now the problem has seem to gone away. Jamie

  • Hey Guyz... HeLP!!!... my Samsung e700 fone screen is purely just white. it just happened last nyt..for no reason. I flipped it open and suddenly the screen went white and flashy but the outside clock is working fine... Is it an LCD error or what?... Please help.. Thanx

  • I have had an E700 since October 2004, my ex-boss through it out as the screen was going white all the time. I got the phone working, but the Preview Error msg would pop up whenever I wanted to use the camera. The self portrait cam worked, but that now too has broken and displays Preview Error on the front display. Wierd the way the screen goes white after one closes the screen after switching the phone on. The only way to get the screen back is to close the flap after turning it on, pushing the side camera button, seeing "Preview Error", then flipping the flap open really fast. If you do not do this soon after turning the phone on, this method will not work and you'll have to turn the phone off and then on again. Pile of dog doo, this phone is, if you ask me.

  • Mengulo, you should try reading previous posts before making silly comments. No one denys that this is a cool, well balanced phone. Yet there is still a serious design flaw which Samsung is failing to acknowledge. Those users who experience this problem are posting on this site to seek help and advice. They are not "losers" but rather VICTIMS of Samsungs falling standards.

  • Hey. Ok, so i bought this mobile just over a year ago. It was all working fine until last weekend. As many have already said, i simply turned it on as normal only to see a white screen. Now it is completly black, nothing can be seen at any angle. So i rang up samsung customer help, but no, they say that the warranty was 12months, and as this has now passed there is nothing that they can do for me. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any options i have left, except for paying the pricey repair bill they were happy to give me? Also, if anyone knows of any legal advice or action that i could take? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.

  • in my opinion samsung should reacall this model as it really a defect factory & its not worth it

  • hi to everyone, to people who say bad things about this phone are sure and definitely a LOSERS!!!!!. U cannot put a good and nice phone down. To all who love this phone, do not believe of what other has to say. Some people try to flash this phone with uncompatible firmware and it voids the phones warranty and that is the reason why many problems occur such as screen and power problems and they cannot put back the original firmware. It is the fault of the user who try to flash this phone with uncompatible firmware. So if i were u, leave the phone as it is as much as possible and if not, make sure u have the right firmware. I think the phone is superior in design, hardware and software compare to other brands. Do not deny yourself with this phone. Maybe it lacks other feature but what a heck it sure is a reliable phone. thanks

  • such a crab. every third of thease have a problems with the display

  • I just bought the phone (second hand) was working great.The battery was low and i charged the phone and after the phone just died completely. Did try another battery but no luck. I was told it could be software problems. Does anyone have any idea what i could do?

  • Mark, you've got the same problem everyone else has. Take it down to your Samsung repair centre and they'll get it sorted out for free if it's still under warranty. I recommend doing what Jonesee says and sell it on after getting it fixed.

  • had it for 18 mos. already! No ain't problem with LCD or anything!

  • Hey guys, yep i have this white screen problem now too, it was so unexpected it's a shame cause i really like the phone but now i have no access to it only to answer calls which is annoying. I've had the phone 6 months now and so i have decided to get it repaired under warranty, then keep it for a month and then sell it on. I can't believe how pathetic this phone had been built. This is a good phone but i recommend you don't buy it, pick something else instead but not the Nokia 7610 that is a poorly built and expensive phone stay away from it.

  • i was wondering if im suffering this white screen problem. the screen is upside down and back to front. and the display is green and white and flashs. ive had it 4 months. its bin alrite up till now. any help. cant afford a new one ya know what im sayin!

  • Albert, the problem can't be prevented mate. Its a design defect by Samsung. The ribbon cable that connects the screen to the main unit gets worn out very quickly for some reason or another. Best advice is to sell it on before you end up with a dead screen.

  • hey guys..i bought this phone from few days ago..plz help me how to prevent this screen problems and camera too, plz tell me :S

  • I've this phone for about a year. 3 months after I bought it the camerra stopped to work ; after that the display stoopped and now everything don't work. So that I must buy new one - Nokia. But when everything was working the phone was really gret. The sond , camera and GPRS were wonderful

  • Just got the white screen fault today after 14 months. My inner screen has now completely died so can't do much accept answer calls. If so many people have suffered the SAME problem than this is obviously a design defect which Samsung is responsible for. God knows how much the technician will charge to fix this :(

  • Stacey ring samsung up and they'l send u to a repair centre if the phone is under warranty its for free if not then its heaps pricey and ure probably better off getting something else. goodluck xx

  • Guys any1 out there looking into buy this phone i advise u NOT TO. Everyone is having the same problems i bought the fone and after 10 mnths same problem white screen and preview error wen using the camera i took it into the samsumg repair centre and got it fixed now im selling iT. STICK TO NOKIA GUYS ANY NOKIA PHONE IS MORE RELIABLE THEN SAMSUNG!! Cheers xxx

  • im having the same problem as every 1 else, except i cant even see the screen now its just blank n can get my numbers out of the stupid fone. its like it had a few black outs n now its blind. has any one got a clue what i can do.

  • I've bought this phone about10 months ago. at start it really seem as a nice phone but 4 months after i started using it there were some problems. like the LCD .it started going white + that is really annoying. tehn i could not get a picture using its camera coz of the prevew error. now the screen is nearly always white +i cant get a picture. if any of u r interested of buying this phone DO NOT.because samsung SUCKS

  • i have had the phone for only 3 months and the problem with it is the front LCD and the inner one is broken, its too exepensive to repair asin change the LCD.what a useles phone,i want to buy Sagem my v-55,hope its okay.if any problem with that,pls let some1 who is caring email me wit [email protected]

  • Three months out of warranty (15 mths old) my screen went white - there were no warning signs. I had it charging one night, then opened it the next morning and it had turned into a paperweight. Luckily my 5-year-old Nokia was still working... No warranty, so I opened it up and discovered the cabling had become worn - it's just not good enough. No more Samsung for me!

  • Hey guys wats all this am hearing abt the phone and I was planning to but it! Thanx for the warning...

  • Hi, About the white of flashing rainbow screen, turning all black few days later....: I've got the problem after 14 months of fine operation: pity, out of warrantee said the man, too expensive to repair, know the problem, but no move at all to a coulant solution. I opened (with some problems) the phone and noticed a broken strip in the multilayer flex connection between bottom and lid. (the lowest layer, just one strip, obvously a ground connector ((;-) mobile phone)and repaired it with a thin bypass and some solder. After assy the screen was all white, so I'd solver\d some but not all problems. Checked again and found minor cracks in all conductors of the flex (in total I'd gess 25% of some 60 leads and stopped the opertation. I'm very disappointed that Samsung is not willing to solve this problem at split cost, as it's obviously a design failure of a 1 cent strip. For me no Samsung anymore! (btw: in some countries it's illegal to limit the warrantee to a time period, much shorter than one may reasonably expect (it is in NL, the shop servant recognised, but simply invited me to go to court to get my rights!

  • Hi guys.. i've just bought the E700 and i was wandering how the infrared was working.. I know it's not compatible with Nokias.. But how do I send pictures from my phone via infrared?? Please help!! [email protected]

  • hi guys, if your screen turns white you have to bend the screen towards you, app 90 degrees, then the screen will work again, then navigate to the display menu and select a other background, for example bananas.. close the phone and open it again and it will work again. you will have to do this after every time the phone is switched off. good luck!

  • I have been using the mobile for over a year and a half. Four months ago in camera mode the camera screen initally went all black so i was unable to use any camera at all. Okay I can live with that, after all it's a nice phone. Two weeks ago, I've suffered the white screen affect. It has now become unuseable. It's like walking around with a home phone with no LCD display. Gonna try and get the screen fixed and ebay it off to make some money off it. Good luck to whoever buys my phone :)

  • hi.... had exactly the same problems as you guys, screen goes white, green, then can't read anything. i rarely get the normal display now, and it is impossible to use. i e-mailed Samsung, and they were unwilling to co-operate as it is just over a year old. disgusting as it must be a manufacturing fault. what did you guys do next? buy a new phone?

  • this phone is rubbish i called to cancel my contract and the screen went greeny white the next day i did have it for under a year but id advise anyone who wants to by this not to buy it RUBBISH

  • Hi, I need someone to tell me where to find cheapest LCD screens??? They are expensive and hard to find on ebay. Thanks!

  • Is this possible that this phone is so bad?? I would like to buy this one but i cannot belive that this problems are so serious! Can anyone who had problems with this phone (problems with display and camera)to write down the date of production of his phone. Maybe the problem is only in some series of this phone!

  • This Phone really sucks.Preview eror camera and the screen is almost white.What is next.I think he will be brought to a stand. Garbage !

  • Ive had the phone for probably over a year now. And firstly the camera displayed a msg saying Preview error and turned green, and now the camera function doesnt work at all. Then later on the screen slowly went white. After a few weeks it went white all the time when i flipped it open, and i had to turn it off and on to work.. AND now the screen doesnt work at all... so i cant view msges NOTHING at all!!! so once u start getting a white screen, i highly recommend u get it fixed straight away!! all my numbers were saved to the phone and these very important numbers which ive been holdin on to for 5 years or more! and the e700 does not have a function to copy phone memory to sim at all! useless phone! looks good but is shocking!! i dont think my warranty can cover it coz its been just over a year! haha just remember, dont judge a book by its cover! I cant rely on Samsungs anymore, its caused me a lot of trouble and i think i'll stick to the trustworthy and original phone NOKIA! PEACE!!!

  • Hi all, im trying to figure out if the irda is compatible with nokia 3650. i haven't been able to use this feature since i got the phone and i didn't know there was no composer! I wish i cld at least compose my ringtones. someone please help! U can send me an email "[email protected]", i'll appreciate it.

  • I can't use the infrared (irda) service. why ? I can only receive a phone # using the irda. if you can help me please email me at [email protected].

  • i have this phone but the only bad thing about is as a i bought it and walked out of the shop with it set up i accidenlty dropped it on the carpet and it wasnt even high up or anything and the battery clip just smashed off it. so i only had it for ten secs and it broke. and theey would swap it becauyse it was my fault it broke WELL DONE

  • This phone is the best phone i have ever had. I have had it for nearly 1 and a half years and it is only just dying now. It has done me proud even when ive dropped it, trood on it etc. I will miss the E700. Gettin the O2 X3 any comments on it?

  • ive had no problems with this phone no white screen only thing is i cant use infrared ive tried everything it doesnt seem to pass ringtones pics ect anyone can help email me at [email protected]

  • Had this phone for a LONGGGG time now, from when they first came out and havn't had any problems except no mms....for some reason! However, now 80% of times i get a white screen upon opening and the quality when working is much lower than previously, all things considered it was a good phone, maybe not the best but good. 8/10

  • from your post i understand that this phone si realy realy bad so i will not buy it .10x for your opinion you have saved me.

  • i have had this phone for 1/2 year...and the camera just went to a green-black screen. it won't take any more pictures...could somebody help me ?

  • not able to use the mms feature on the phone.....any suggestions/opinions

  • Ive had the E700, since november 2003 and it has been really great phone,its screen has never gone white or blank and it has never given me any trouble, im upgrading next week but i would still highly recommend this phone. Great phone !!!!!!!!! Great screen and tones

  • i have had this phone for more than a year and i thought that it was absolutly brilliant.it works well and has never given me a problem.the screen has never gone blank and what ever i want to do it does it without any problems.i am realli happy i got this phone it is better than many other phones.it is a realli realli realli good phone for anyone.

  • I'm using Samsung E700 model for the past 7 months. Recently i'm facing some issues when i had to take some photos. LCD was white and from Y'day it is displaying an error "Preview Error" when i tried to take the photos. Pls feel free to pass your thoughts on this. Thanks for the help.

  • My screen was white-ish from day one - but not having seen another up untill recently (10 months later) I had nothing to compare it with to know it was nackered - just thought they were generally rubbish (well, I still think that!) I'm going to kill it slowly when I get my new phone :-p

  • Excellent mb.

  • I agree, not happy with this phone at all. Just outside its warranty with 11 months to go on contract and like so many others, screen has gone white and no camera. Not really interested in getting it fixed, although I think Samsung phones usually look really good, I wont be using one again.

  • Hello there, I have owned the Samsung SGH E700 for a while now, if anyone wants to ask me a question regarding it, please email me and I shall get back to you... [email protected]

  • this phone is the worst i would never have bought this phone if i knew that 8months later my screen would turn white and the camera dosnt work iv tried to get it fixed under warranty but iv been told its human error which is a load of crap coz after reading these reviews we r all having the same problem i dont reccomend anyone to buy the E700

  • the piece of crap link between the body and the screen broke so i cant see anythin or take pics with the camera, turns off and on though, well done samsung

  • All I'd like to know about the phone is, is it possible to change the contrast of images and THEN save the image? So that the contrast changes you've made, would be saved. I know this is not possible to do with the Nokia 6230, wich I'm currently using, so that's why I'm wondering.

  • ya i got this fone aswell.had it since november2003.same problem.screen goes blan as in full white if i trt to use the camera. Only way to solve it is to get a new screen installed!!koz camera n screen come together.hope tht helps.

  • i hv sell this phone jus used 6 months buy rm1455 sel 750 worst phone really regret buy this phone no function only good of the design no bluetooth wat also no got outside no inside worst worst worst phone n expensive regret buy symbian phone la 6260 best!!

  • i've got an e 715, same problem.. screenwent white.. wat should i do now?

  • Had this phone for a little over a year and i've been very pleased with it. No problems at all, very easy to use, camera was ok for a phone camera. Very nice looking phone indeed. I've upgraded now to the D500 but I'd still highly recommend the E700.

  • i juZ brought tis phone from my fren..i just used it not even a week.. the lcd became white.. and the camera cant be used....do anyone haf the same case happend??

  • hi evry1, can someone plz tell me if u can get FIRMWARE on this fone. thaxxxx

  • I've had the phone for just over 12 months. The screen has started to turn white for no apparent reason, it gets so bad it becomes unuseable, even when it comes back to life its of a very poor quality. The camera no longer works (preview error) and the battery life is down to about 24 hrs max. When the camera was working i found the images were of a very poor quality compared to other phones, also the auto power facility for alarms was unreliable and only worked around 50% of the time making me late for work on several occasions.

  • Hi. Well i bought this phone at the end of january, and I have 2 say that I absolutely loved it. But suddenly the screen started going all 'liney' the camera quality that was top class has now diminished. I don't know whats up wit it but considering that its so new I wouldnt have expected a fault quite so soon.

  • what i hate about this phone is that you can't send pictures via infrared and no bluetooth either.. so i dont know how to have the pictures developed.. gosh.. but generally i love this fone.. even without extra care, it still works good although as some of the people here have mentioned, only white screen appears every time i try to take pictures when it's opened, but you can still take pictures in the front camera while its closed.. i want to upload the pix in my PC but i dont know how to do it, can somebody here help me pls?! tnx =)

  • I've had this phone for 12 months and its still going as it was on the first day! I have looked after it well so its not been dropped more than 2-3 times from a small height. Camera works fine, no errors, screen as new etc Been a great phone and only just starting to look for a replacment

  • i have never and will ever regret purchasing this fon.

  • well, i have been using this phone for like 5 to 6 months, it's a great fon, but it has its sensitive side, i have dropped this fon for like a few times, lol well it showed me tat the camera got preview error, the whole thing can't work now, i meant the screen, =/ anyways, might fix it tho. hahahah

  • this phone is THE GREATESt...BUT.....its WAY to sensative and weak.....but a gr8 phone

  • It's a lovely phone but yes as many of you said earlier,my e700 has the same problems,camera says preview error,the colours are fading away,i have a white screen when i open the phone from time to time....i wounder if it's a fatal flaw with all this flip down phones?. Lazar

  • after 13 months my screen started fading too,my camera doesn't work anymore and the colors are fading away more and more.Good design,good cam,but generally bad quality and missing bluetooth.Samsung?no thanx never again!!!

  • the samsung e700 revolutionised mobile phone photography single handedly & remains to this day the best looking most aesthetically pleasing mobile phone on the entire market!! Stunning sound & graphics make it well worth buying..well done Samsung!!

  • the irda works in a connection with the computer , but is necesary pims and file manager software to use , is a good looking phone .

  • Over the last few days i have been getting the message 'preview error' when i try to take a picture, i have had the phone for just over a year and i can start to see the colour fading on the screen. If anyone knows anything about this preview error please email me Thanks Jillian

  • i wish everybody would not say this fone was crap at is the best fone in the world and i wont have anybody say a bad word bout it

  • This phone is very annoying thus the mms messages don't work propolee like, i know, but yeah, you can't ringtones or pictures via the infared which is quite annoying, but other than that it is a good phone if you like but if don't you might not some how yes but why i know. Samsungs phones are generally great just missing some features, but still a very good looking phone, yes, yeah and great.

  • here you will find the best file managers for SAMSUNG:

  • Gosh! could anyone tell me how can i get the pics from the phone to my pc? Any suggestions 'll b appriciated.Thanks alot

  • I bought a 2nd hand samsung E700 but now the keypad can't work even though i've tried to turn it off and on again. Can tell me wat should i do ? is this problem oftenly occured? Thanks

  • I love this fone, my friend has one and I take her fone every time and go way, she stay crazy with me. I wold lake to buy this fone but here in Brasil it�s very expensive, around 1,600 reias (700 dollares), ptzzz, I have no money to do.

  • The external screen sucks when u wanna take a pic for yourself...256 colors....i prefer a black and white screen...

  • so i have to wait and i have to see if its good or bad...but at the moment its goin fine...and its really a hot set...

  • jst recently, screen starting to fade. Grat fone tho.... rly stands out

  • hi, i had e700 then it started 2 go faulty with camera, it went white and switched off. its in repair now

  • the best phone i've ever had! great battery life, good photos, neat,easy to use, etc...

  • My E700 has recently been saying that i can't take pictures as there is a preview error. I could take pictures fine when i first bought the phone. My screen has been blanking out. It goes completely white when i take a photo from the side button and try to view it. The screen also goes white when i turn the phone off and on again. Recently the screen has been fading when i've turned my phone back on and hasn't fully gained its sharpness back. These problems have only started to occur and i can see from the ammount of posts about the same kind of problem that the phone is obviously faulty and has nothing to do with the owner but... my warrenty has ran out by about a month so would i be able to get it fixed?? concidering it is a manufacture fault thanks Gilz

  • E700 is a class act. One of Samsung's best. A hot favorite amongst flip lovers even though it lacks clever features like photo call and mp3 player. More upmarket and better equipped E715/720 are less adored.

  • it makes great photos, i recommend it to all of you

  • Plzzzzz Plzzzzz cud some1 tell me does the e710 have Photo Caller ID or not coz different websites ssay different things.

  • it is absoulutly bollocks

  • Samsung E700 sleek ,good design and good for 8 months only!

  • best!!!power!!!the camera is so clear

  • dude i forgot my sercurity number so how can i open d number if any 1 know how 2 open it plz let me know

  • as i said that i liked the phone i got.. but i dont know.. the e600 has many things that the e700 doesnt have.. i dont know.. its kind of wierd!! but i want to download ringtones from the internet and it is not working.. but i give the phone a v.good

  • I bought samsung e700 20 days ago.. i loved it! it is an awesome phone.. the camera quality i super! but the only thing i wished could be in the phone is the photo caller ID :(

  • a very good phone . i love it..

  • does any1 know how 2 get the infared to work i've turned it on but i don't know how 2 send through it though. Help!!!

  • ive had this phone for the last year so i know everything ther is to know about it . the camera is the best ive ever seen and the phone has no faults like turning off or stuff like that.i think its alround a good phone but if i was to get a phone i wouldnt get this for starters it has no bluetooth big disadvantage and no video also the phone is very bad at taking photos at night so if i was to get a phone now i would get a sony one because my dad sister and brother all have one and it seems to have every thing you would ever want.

  • Cool,this thelephone is cool,but ...I do not know the resolution of his camera... E700 or V300?Please, aswers me!

  • not a good fone keeps freezing

  • yes, you can remove it. look at www.samsung-stuff.de in database. there is a guide.^^

  • Where the hell is the funky music, does this phone have a radio or download music or sumin????

  • samsung always have the best lookin flip phones around. i guess the e700 is a pretty good lookin fone. the sound is really clear and loud and the display is just superb. but as usual no bluetooth which all high priced fones should have. overall i give it a very good!!!!!!

  • the phone is a good innovation that tells how samsung has been working to improve technology.i have a problem with my E700 SAMSUNG phone is writing phone freezed. kindly assist me with this problem

  • Very disappointed! Purchased phone in australia about a month ago when it was on special. Infrared does not work at all, phone seems to occasionally freeze during picture taking, and every time my friends original samsung data cable is connected the phone switches off, and can only be turned on a couple of minutes later. And how disappointing, when i go back to shops, its been discontinued due to the amount of errors and problems with the phone!

  • The reason that it makes a noise when you take a picture, and you cant take it off even when the phone is on silent, is because of privacy reasons. Because people won't know a photo is being taken if they cannot hear it, that way if some random person walks up near you and holds up their camera you know that they are taking a picture...

  • wel..this phone is great! The camera is good quality even when you change it from mobile size to a bigger size! its small and stylish! Ive had it for around a year, but there are a few problems with the phone I found. 1.my front screen broke, it didnt display the time date etc. 2. When I bought the E700 I didnt get a cable or any software to get my photos onto my pc! which i found rather annoying as I have to send them all through MMS which can often cost alot of money seeing as I often send photos to my PC. 3. You cant set recorded sounds or downloaded music as messaging tones, or assign them to callers. apart from that the phone is good, but I cant wait to upgrade my phone because I am fed up with the phone now!

  • E 700 has one hell of a problem!When i press the button to take photos the screen goes all white! H E L P

  • hi guys!!! can anyone tell me how much does this fone cost here in the philippines???? thanks!!!

  • does anyone know where i can get a free share ware version of mp3 to .mmf converter on the net cheers

  • this phone lokz gdgd but not az gdgd az da e600 which haz evrythin!

  • i think the e700 is a great phone but the one problem it has is getting ur photos off ur phone to your pc. they should have put a bluetooth with it, but instead u have got a usb lead that doesent work.

  • phone was ok for its time but now its shit with no mp3 player, video recording, external memory or fm radio and the price is still steep.

  • Very nice phone!Ive used it for 1 year,no problem with camera or screen.Those people with cameras not working don't deserve to use it.They are just idiots with cool phones.They should get cheap and simple phones or just the toy ones.

  • talking about technology, samsung is far back away from SE and mitsubishi

  • samsung E-700 is perfecty!

  • it is good,but have some disadvantages,1- it does not have option for the active folder,2- sometimes it restart itself automatically,3- sometimes it hanged and dont use its options well

  • very good phone,looks cool,ultimate resolution & graphics,i like it,

  • great phone, i managed to put mine in a full cycle wash and it still works perfectly.

  • Nice Phone! Can do with some more features! The camera doesn't function after some months! Crashes mobile if u try to take a photo! Not on my phone only! On all my friends phones too!

  • i have had this phone for 14mnths with no probs. today i bought a data cable. 2hrs later and my phone wont even turn on. outta warranty. no insurance. thank you dodgy man on the market and thank you samsung!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i already have this phone and i am hoping to get the e300 for christmas, its good and the camera is excellent i have had great times with this fone!!!

  • This phone looks good at first, but then when the warranty expires, there are heaps of problems with the screen and camera. costs too much to repair. I thought samsung was a leader in mobile phone technology until now

  • I like this phone but can anyone tell me if you can allocate different my sounds(downloaded ringtones) to different groups?

  • phone is good but the infared is not working

  • Just bought it 1 month ago. Bought it second-hand. But still in good condition. Not even one scratch I can come accross. Phone is already more than 1 year old. This have been my dream phone. Looking for stylish phone and not to crowded with unnecessary function. Just need the phone to make call, send sms.

  • The camera on this phone is brilliant, the two colour displays are great, especially the main internal screen. Plus it's compact and looks good. Has good amount of memory and features.

  • I adore my E700. I fall in love with it since the first time I saw it. I dreamt of it always until I have it in my hands. Whatever the features like, I will never get disappoint, and I would regret it and keep dreaming of it if I never have it for my own. E700 is my phone. No one can take it from me except God.

  • pls. i want to know how i can get my Sansung E700 BLOCKED. it was stolen 9th Dec.2004. i have all the details.the IMEI No. pls.get across tome to know what to do.

  • I suppose to get the E700 two weeks from now...but you guys have me worrying. All those bad reviews. There are good ones but the bad ones seem to far out weight the good ones. Especially the ones about the cameras not working and the colours fading...can anyone alleviate my fears?

  • Hi, does anyone know if the Samsung E700 can vibrate at the same time it rings?

  • I bought this phone about 8 months ago. It was never threated badly and till now it was a fantastic phone. But all of a sudden the camera stopped working and the screen started to fade. I went to repair it but it was very expensive to do so! I ll never buy a Samsung Phone again!

  • i like samsung phones, i would love to get one.

  • hi, plz send me who do i can free download easy studio and file manager now. thanks

  • ive had this fone for 14 months and its still as good as new i think samsung phones rule

  • Had the phone twelve months. It's been dropped on more than one occassion. Still works as good as the day I bought it. Thanks Samsung.

  • Well, I've had the same problem as some of you. After 9 months of having this phone, my display has decided to fade and the camera, yes, it's a blank white screen. I've sent it off to Samsung today to get repaired. I had to download my pics before sending and I too couldn't do that with the data cable I bought, USB. I was lucky enough to have infrared on my laptap, and that's how I did it. There apparently is a certain cable to use on this phone but I can't remember name, it's the only one that works.

  • if any one has any problems with their e700 just gimme a shout on 07891501037 or if u have any good pics

  • Ive had this phone now for about 9 months and have loved it from day one! Until now... the phone has not been treated bad, has not been dropped or damaged in any way but the screen has recently started looking 'washed out'. The colours are fading and the camera has stopped working with a white screen replacing the actual lens screen display! This is a common fault according to my local mobile retailers and the only solution is to try and use the phone 'half closed' (starts working if you close the clam half way) or send to repair shop. Anyways, Ive paid the remainder of the contract up and changed to the new Sammy E800 which looks even better than the 700. I just hope its more reliable after 9 months! The E700 was a fantastic phone, great ringtones, great screen etc. but Im doubting the lastability of the unit after 9 months...

  • bravo samsung ,excellent phone,nice to see ,nice to hold..........

  • i think this mobile(e700) is very good.I like this mobile,I have this one and i don't want to change with another type...

  • beautiful small handy but costly comparing to Nokia

  • In Switzerland, everybody has E700 and Swiss people are not usually fashionable. That says this cellphone has become classic! Yeah you read me, CLASSIC!

  • Grad to have seen your phone but i would ask to send me only one piece and i make advert for sumsang iam a ugandan.and if not let me be a business man by sending them to me and i sale phones to be your urgent and its view being waited with pressure.says haningtone

  • its a sleek fon but has a problem with the camera it is malfunctioning think its one of the few that were recalled.

  • Does this classic,stylish camera phone support amr,wav or mp3 format ringtones??

  • This is nice phone,flip without antenna.Dual Screen.The colour is very clear.But the function are very very less.I hope the samsung can use this design to evolute an evolution model of this phone.Include mmc card slot,bluetooth andmp3 function.Maybe can sell with little higher price.The buyer will not mind with some slightly high price if really got more function.This can win many handphone user hearts.Try the best samsung.

  • we will improve from all the comments..thanks.using the data cable and download the software from the samsung offical site...then u all can transfer the data 2 the pc

  • Probably the worst cell i ever had. Not user friendly, no bluetooth, very bad reception of signals. And the camera button on the side stinks!

  • ok, i've had a quick look at all ur lottle "opinions" about the E700, or i should call them complaints because that's what most of them are... here in melbourne, australia, this fone costs like $900, now thats a fair bit, and i'm sure it will go down in price soon due to newer competition, seriously tho - wat difference does it make whether the picture quality is 95% or 99%???? who cares...bottom line is this fone is excellent, many of my mates have them and they're all happy customers, i myyself have had a fiddle with one and the camera is incredible to me granted, i'm not an "expert" on mobile fones and the capabilities they have...when i see people havin a bitch about resolution it's pretty pathetic...altho the whole MMS thing i agree with, thats definitely a flaw in the model, but this fone aint exactly new either. so i dunno, i've written a fair bit, to summarise; crazy fone, one of the best looking flip fones too. 8.5/10 .... cheers mAzzA

  • great phone! i love it!

  • how is camera better than V300

  • This phone is excellent on designs....but its function make me a little bit unsatisfied.Its camera quality is cool and good for 0.3mp VGA camera.if its function can be stronger....i will give it 10 out of 10.I give it 8 out of 10.

  • my mum has got the exact phone like my uncle!!

  • Itd better to buy sony ericcson or nokia 6600 its far better then samsung for pc connectivity

  • Hi guys great phone, but what are v'cards.

  • is this phone included bluetooth?

  • this is a trash compared to mitsubishi. Samsung can't even share pictures nor ringtones with other brand of phones. Poor Lonely samsung

  • I am an E700 user.I am dissapointed with the fon.I was told by maxis that this model is not able to MMS.I purchased this fon from your dealer.I was not adviced by them.I paid a sum of RM1,500 for a camera fon and not being able to MMS.Now i would like to know if Samsung will refund me.I feel cheated.Please reply soon.

  • For a while I thought that the E700 was one of the best phones available. But to be honest,...no, it's just not that good as it looks. First of all I miss tri- or quadband frequencies (GSM 850 or 1900). It has no bluetooth and the screen is average. Why? Have a look at a Sharp model like GX20/22/30. The TFT is certainly brighter and clearer than any (C)STN could ever be, but the Sharp CGS (Continuous Grain Silicon) is by far the best on the market. I give the E700 a 10/10 on design, and that's probably the reason why it's still so expensive and wanted. But other than that it is just average. I own a GX20 which is cheaper to get (on ebay) than an E700, and has a better and bigger screen (320 x 240px), excellent Picture Quality, Triband (GSM 900/1800/1900), and a torch/flashlight. Unfortunatelly the memory within the GX20 is less, but if you regularly download your pictures via IrDA/data cable it's no problem. Allright, have a good one yall.

  • This phone is very nearly perfect. All it needed was bluetooth and FM Radio to get a 10 from me on features. For a 10 on performance I'd like to see faster keypad recognition. Entering data via the keypad gets a bit laborious with the slow response time. But all in all, it's a 10/8/9 phone in my opinion.

  • I am really stuck should i get the Samsung E700 or the Benq O2 X3 i mean the O2 X3 has a 1.3 mega pixel camera with flash and it has an MP3 player. Does the Samsung E700 have good image quality someone please email me and help me decide

  • Yes it is a great phone very easy to use and very enjoyable to use.Can anyone tell me if it can be connected to a PC.The images are great quality who agrees

  • cool fone, I bought one, then after 4 months I had to return it and they gave me a new one. It was something with the folder, I could only take pictures with the folder closed because the display got all white when I was trying to take pictures with the folder opened. this one seemes to be ok, I think I got a better built one cause it feels more solid. In rest it is a good fone, nice display and all.

  • the phone is very good but i think it would have been better with an MP3.

  • magnificent!!!

  • E700 Datacable now available in india with a special limited offer. check out.

  • i just got this phone a week ago and i love it! this is my first phone that isnt a nokia and it only took me a day to get used to the new keys and menu format. the camera is clear and of excellent quality compared to other camera phones available on the market and you can even take a nice self portrait and use it as wallpaper on the phone. the ringtones sound amazing and the keys are nice and easy to use. its packed with features (calendar, stopwatch, world time, calculator, java games, currency converter, WAP.. u get the point) although it does lack in having a photo phonebook and bluetooth. the size is nice and compact and it is very lightweight- i have no complaints on its design. the internal antennae is convenient and you can attach a wrist strap at the top of the phone. the only dissapointing thing i can pick out is the battery life. packed full with features, the e700's battery gets drained pretty quickly and i had to recharge after just 2-3 days of buying it. overall, if you want a nice looking phone with lots of features and a good camera the samsung e700 is perfect for you!!

  • Great Phone!!!!!!!!! Simply Superb!

  • i am very interested to get a samsung e700 yet my cell phone company Italk are out of stock and not sure if they are getting more stock. I can not believe that this is possible as many of the phones seem to be around. Do you know if it is possible to get one as my phone is ready for an upgrade.

  • have i set anything for sending mms?

  • I can`t decide whitch one to buy Sony ericsson Z600 or E700? can someone help me?

  • Although this phone support mms, but is unable to send or receive mms using Maxis Network. Anyone know how this can be solved ?

  • for the price of this phone it really lacks resolution both in camera and display. sadly that's all samsung can put out.......

  • Can somebody tell me, what quality are pictures from camera ?

  • mitsubishi had been using 256K Lcd when this was launched. This phone is yet to be 1 yr old.

  • i like this GSM,that`s why i hav one,but i want to change te panel.where can i find a new one?

  • Bluetooth is a specification for a small form-factor, low-cost radio solution providing links between mobile computers, mobile phones and other portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the Internet. It will enable users to connect a wide range of computing and telecommunications devices easily and simply, without the need to buy, carry, or connect cables. hope this helps you.

  • I was wondering does this phone has ID picture thast you take when someone call. Also can somebody please explain to me what is bluetooth? thanks

  • This phone is a year old where 256K Colour screens were still rare, on Samsung's newer phones they are now starting to use 256K!

  • superb... beautiful... wonderful and delicious.... i love it

  • mitsubishi is using 256K lcd while u are still sticking to 65K with your antique

  • little girl, U are saying the E700 is better because u are a user of it. Show evidences if u think this is the best, proof it.

  • I luv my new samsung E700 it's the bestest phone in the world any other phone is like a piece of junk compared 2 mine!!!!

  • I would like to ask if E700 does not really receive picture messages from Nokia? I'm thinking on buying this phone, I'd like to know if it's worth it. Or can you suggest samsung flip phones with built-in camera better than E700

  • This phone is just absolutely awesome. I think I'll buy it.

  • Please can someone tell me if you can turn off the sound this phone makes when you send a messege, I've turned off the camera sounds but i'm not sure how to turn off the messege sent sound. thankyou.

  • take a look at mitsubishi M750 and u'll know how lousy this phone is.

  • Hi!I'd like to know if you can upload pis gotten form E700. I'm from Philippines, anyone sellling their phone in a a cheaper price?

  • it is indeed a great phone! when i fell in love with the phone my wife so jealous, she had no option but to get one for herself....ha ha ha what a great phone.

  • nope, no special feature on this phone.

  • does this mobile have a video camera?

  • simply sux

  • Jeweller's collection. How an elegant style.

  • Under the Maxis Network, the mms can't be send out using E700 model. Is there anything can be done?

  • If any one wants to buy samsung e700. call 07979473429 i have one that is just over a week old. I want �100 for it, call me or email me [email protected]

  • excelent phone

  • Has anyone found that the E700 only has 2 games in it? It says everywhere that I read about it that it comes with 5 games. Has anyone else been able to locate the other 3? Let me know if you have. GREAT PHONE! EXCELLENT DESIGN! VIBRANT SCREEN! lacks several features though

  • simply irresitible !!!!

  • I find that E700 is good as in the camera itself only. It does not have any new functions like the video recording or the mp3 player. A more improved version of E700 would be great with more functions included in the phone. I wish in there will be such a phone in this world.

  • Is the cable for samsung e700. the same as the samsung t100 use?

  • I think this is a great phne!!! beats my 6600 in color display. but I won't change my 6600 for this... its just too small. It also lacks alot of other features... maybe the phone is just designed for females........

  • this phone is rubbish, if u want a bluetooth, flip camera, go for motorola V525, far cheaper as well

  • Not true about sending photos, sound files etc... I can do this from my computer to phone and vice versa... I've created my own "sound clips" from mp3, and they work out fine... nice phone, but has some "small" errors that could be corrected - not completely silent when chosen no sound... camera makes sound, and "abort call" make a sound, too. The Alarm funktions has not got snooze which I kind a liked in my old SE... other than this... very nice :D

  • i love it

  • E700 is quite expensive coz it doesn't have a lot of specs that cheaper phones come equipped with. It only has infrared that only works for sending phonebook entries. It only supports MMF ringtones and has problems with MIDI. Can't send pics via infrared. Doesn't come equipped with software, have to download from samsung. can only assign ringtones that come originally with the phone, wats the bloody use of downloading own ringtones then!!! asides from MMS, which does not come cheap. can't assign pictures taken with the phone to phonebook entries. can only assign group entries with the phone's original ringtone. E700 is crap! better off buying sony-ericsson, cheaper n loads more it can do.

  • u ppl think this is the best phone??? this phone only have 65K lcd with M720 already have 262K. bluetooth? radio? extra memory card?? common, this phone is sux to the core

  • If you are ever want a Datacable for Samsung E700 in india check out

I went to a local service (not samsung`s) and I`ve reinstalled the software, but the problem couldn`t be fixed. does someone got this problem? does anyone know how it can be fixed? If I had my software reinstalled, the warrany is still good,no??

  • So guys here is da code to turn off the cam sound: On main screen type: *#8999*8378# --> Test mode H/W test Audio Settings Melody Gain Then replace 6 by 0, it'll show 12 but it's OK Press back until main screen Then press key volume to minimum and let's try !!! no more sound If you want sound back turn key volume to 1 or above and if you want original settings restored, start from the beginning again but change the 0 to a 6. So for those guys who said I was wrong can fuck them-selves!!!

  • Those guys who dont beleive that the sound of the cam can be turned off of da e700 are wrong. I can turn it off whenever I want. SERIOUSLY!!!

  • my Samsung e700 cost me �220 on pay as u go....... i know a lot for a phone.... and dave, how do u turn the camera sound off?.... so we can stop these post about them..if u know how to

  • Hmm I'm detecting hints of racism on here.. and to matt: learn to google, asshat, about every third post on most informed samsung messageboards is about turning the sound off and it's possible.. i did it to mine!

  • Hi..I love the design of this phone.but am rather worried about the price..can someone tell me the price they're selling this phone at?

  • Khuram Shahzad "I also know how to turn off its cams click noise."....... u smell that? it smells like cows.... no wait bulls... no wait thats right its BULLSHIT! cant turn the camera sound off on Samsung E700

  • Samsung just keep on bringin' out new phones in such a short period of times. Ist really hard to catch up and get hold on 1. Cause aftr you buy this 1, the next day, a new 1 comes out. Thn that 1 has the nice features, good looks and so on and so on. Its really really hard to catch up. Like my friend always says: "Its better not to have 1 if your so in love with phones and technology. Its just gonna get better and improve even after u die!" Duhh... Like no 1 in this universe has all thousands of mobile phones frm evry communication/electonic brand. But i wish i have. And also, we do want NEW stuff in the market but the flowing of new communication technology is too fast! ( like the flip phone with a color projector and 4.0 MP digital camera built in with photo printer???)

  • Well im not a E700 nor Samsung user or anithin but i think if you want to turn off the shutter sound, you hve to put the phone in silence mode. (press the # button long)... :)

  • I wish theres a new version of E700. like with MP3 Player, video recorder, Video streaming, and higher quality external LCD. If you buy the E700 (or the E3200 in Korea) in Korea, you'll get more features like MP3 player, and 64 Polyphonic ringtones where you could convert MP3s to ringtones!!! And theres also SPEED (faster smoother process of moving images) and VOD (Video On Demand), And more!!!! And they also have other colors other than Dark Blue. They have Coral Red, Mettalic Silver, and Pearl White. They also sell it cheaper there too. Especially for Anycall. The current E700 is also very nice but needs to improve the features cause it does not suite the price tag (Expensive!!)

  • Regarding the issue of not being able to turn off the clicking noise, I think that has got to do with the Korean govt regulations that the click noise cannot be made away in fear of people using the camera to take secret pictures. Luckily I'm using the V200 and it doesn't have this problem! And V200 is pretty cool and metallic too, which I think is more suitable for men! ;)

  • Yeah E700 has that annoying "sent" & "delete" sound........ I trying to look for FREE games, know any websites?...... Oh Khuram Shahzad how do u turn the camera sound off (even though i know u can't & u r just a bunch of bullshit saying u can)

  • is the E700 software similar to that of S500? I've used a S500 before and it always have the annoying tone when it says 'deleted' or 'message sent'... is the E700 like that too?

  • I have been using since a month now and beleive me its great. I have downloaded many games and pics in it. Its cam quality is da best. I also use gprs on my laptop through it and the speed is great. If it had mp3, flash, mmc, bluetooth, fm, movie recorder it woul have been the best mobile in da world. But as nothing is complete this mobile is da best. I also know how to turn off its cams click noise.

  • Any1 know how to get free games for this phone??....... ne free websites???

  • Another great site for wallpapers... even those nokia ones are oredy in 128*128 pixels so you can simply copy and paste

  • For E700 pics can try this site:

  • "l8r" means later!.... its like saying mate "m8" ...... ne way moving on.... ne one know ne free websites where i can get pictures for this phone?? PLZ

  • What is the meaning of 'l8r' or 'i8tr'? Can anyone enlighten me again?

  • Mylovely E700 got convescated and destroyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!in Arab...they say that camera phones are banned there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sob'

  • I want to say that i like the phone too much and will like to know the price and how purchase it.

  • For me is it and Samsung E715 the best Handy of the World

  • the govt in korea & japan have passed an resolution that all camera phones shld have a click sound when clicking so that u dont take secret pict.& not bcos of an asian culture.

  • what does that mean? it says in the Samsung e700 guide book that the phone holds 10 sms in its inbox but 200 messages?

  • What does the text abbreviation 'm8' mean? Can anyone enlighten me? ........ m8 means mate..... u know friend, dude, amigo, buddy etc (u get the point)

  • samsung creativity is endless no more words

  • And you can create your own handphone wallpaper by editing the image from any website pics and juz transfer those pics through the data cable!

  • Hmmm... but my V200 camera do not have the 'click' sound when in silent mode! That's why I feel V200 is better for taking secret snapshots :p By the way is the E700 software similar to that of S500? I've used a S500 before and it always have the annoying tone when it says 'deleted' or 'message sent'... is the E700 like that too?

  • this phone holds 200 short messages, says the phone can only store 10 in the INBOX, 200 on sim card..... but when u transfer a txt to sim card.... how do u access it??

  • good

  • Any1 know where i can get free pictures & ring tones for this phone???? plz HELP me!!!!

  • an excellent buy, alot of fun, an asset to any family, excellent quality

  • Its not an oversight, All asian manufactures tend to make their handset make a noise or a flash when taking a picture purely for asian culture

  • it s a nice gsm

  • yo yo yo MattClay dis here typin below be my response to dis ere mail o yours !! (only jokin dude!!) Yes yopu are right the camera will always make some kind of noise even when switched to silent - yet another oversight by Samsung, read my earlier comments for the other faults !! Oh an Sahun_aloy the abbreviation "m8" is a common abbreviation for the word mate (friend) when using SMS.

  • What does the text abbreviation 'm8' mean? Can anyone enlighten me?

  • Hi, I can only find E700A in Singapore. What's the difference between E700 and E700A? Also, does the phone support Chinese language?

  • I had purchased a new SGH-E700 before a week. Its a good cell the zoom in it is small. I have seen SGH-X600, it has a more powerfl zoom then E700. Besides that it has a light asswell and E700 does not, though the price difference is much more.

  • I aint got dis fone yet but i hav played on it several times i noticed that my m8 had it on silent but the camera was still making a noise wen you take a picture. Plz reply thanx

  • no no no people buy the NEC n341i / Innostream 90 / Motorola v600 instead!

  • its in a class of it own just that it should have been slightly smaller in size

  • it is a superb phone. the best phone that i have seen.

  • Samsung E715?? it's damn bad phone...first,the VALUE so expensive..second,function is so lousy,thrid,it hangs!!!! blieve me !!

  • i think nokia 7200 is better E700

  • Multiple digital features and very simple operation

  • How does this phone compares to panasonic x70?COnsidering to get either one.

  • better than the motorola v600?

  • I have a Samsung E700 - I just love my phone just love my little babes- I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT !!

  • If youre comparing the Z600 and the Samsung E700, look 4 the feature 1st: E700&Z600: 65K TFT LCD E700&Z600: VGA CMOS camera E700: Dual Color Screen Z600: Bluetooth, E700: no. Z600: Long Batery life, E700: no. E700: zoom, multi-shot, frames, effects. Z600: 1x zoom, effects, brightness. E700: 40 poly Z600: 32 poly (but sounds btr thn E700) E700&Z600: GPRS, IrDa. Then the durability: Samsung phones: very very fragile. Screen and cam break easily when fall. SonyE: Very tough and durable. Great 4 adventure and outdoors. Then the price: E700: Expensive. malaysian RM1999 Z600: RM 500 less than E700. malaysian RM 1500. If you want style, get the E700. If you want durability and rugged style/ sporty style phone, get the Z600. OKi.

  • A lot of the things on this phone are good, however, as I am the sort of person who questions what can be improved all the time, this may seem negative, and almost "in search of perfection!" so apologies, but anyway no harm in that is there...so... Battery life : is terrible compared to Nokias (with same software and functionalites) for example a 7250i which easily lasts 3-4 days in similar use to my Samsung - which is around 10 quick calls per day, and around 10 SMS, 1 MMS. The other problem with the battery is that there are only 3 bars, and to make this worse the speed with which it runs out after going down to 2 bars is far too quick, i found that it kept 3 bars for at least a whole day, but once on 2 bars it would go to 1 bar within a few hours, then once on one bar i found that a phone call or a picture message would push it further to empty, this is ridiculous - compared to a nokia which gives so much more warning and has greater stamina. And no!! Besfore you say it.. the battery was charged perfectly as per Manufacturer/ retailer recomendations and am already on second battery as I changed the first one thinking it was faulty due to poor performance! Side Camera button: Whilst this button does prove useful, I have now taken a round 100 photo's from inside my pocket!! come on Samsung - think about it, if your gonna have a functional button on the outside - dont make it such a soft and easy key to be pressed!! Christ - if you people had supplied me with a prototype I would of UAT'd it for you and found all these things that I am sure many other people will come to find a nuisance too !! Okay next up: WAP - this is isnt a design fault, however it is a cheap and typical ploy, that i feel actually doesnt benefit Samsung/Network provider (T-Mobile), instead it merely gets in the way of other functions, and shows at the same time that you are just trying to get people to use WAP too much - So my point is.... why is WAP one of the first options that come up??? For example lets say on "Sound Settings - Incoming calls", why does "More Ringtones" (WAP) appear before my default ringtones? I know which one would be used more, so why have WAP downloads first?? (In patronising tone of voice.....) Oooh let me see now could it be that they cost �4 each? I realise that the network provider maybe responsible for some of these settings, however I am still not impressed (T-Mobile). this leads me onto my next point.... given the above point and how strongly it seems we are all being encouraged into downloading infront of our main phone functionalities... why oh why in Gods name are these expensive (and non-vibrating I might add) downloaded ringtones added to "My Sounds" when "My Sounds" is not a choice I can make when selecting a Group ringtone ???? this is madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why might you ask? (If you are not sure of the obvious point i am making)..... Well, surely the whole concept of ringtones/group ringtones is finding a tone you like, or perhaps one that typifies the group calling you, or perhaps just the individual (if you only have one of them in that group). For example "The simpsons" ringtone for "Family" group, "Match of The Day" ringtone for football friends etc etc. Why should only the default ringtones be available to choose from?? Either "My Sounds" should be an option in "Group Melody" selection - or Downloaded tones should go direcly into "Defaults" or I should be able to move them between folders - the former option making more sense to me. Surely this is just an oversight by Samsung and one I hope they put right it really cant be that difficult can it to do an amendment to the spec and then send out a software update???? I am sure I am not the only disgruntled customer on this point - especially when you consider.... (onto next point) that photos cannot be attached to the caller number. And yes before you all start saying "oh but the front screen doesn't have the resolution ... blah blah blah boo hoo fookin hooo" - yes I appreciate that - however in that case, put it on the main screen inside and give me the option to answer the call via Green phone button (call accept/dial button). I mean to give us poxy little Icons that have about the same level of creativity and resolution as characters I used to have on my old Commodoore 64 is ridiculous, in conjunction with point about downloaded ringtones and group infunctionality, just shows that Samsung are good at the flashy things but the more common sense things they have overlooked. I say this in context of the fact of how they designned the phoned, and its intended use, not in the context of the old school of people who "just want it to do the basics"!! Anyway I feel a lot better after all that rantin and as I always like to finish on a good note - believe it or not I really do like the phone, I just feel let down by the schoolboy error on the camera fault, and the lack of thought given to the group functionalities. and of course the battery, however other than that it is a great phone and I would and have highly recommend it as I do know that no phone is perfect, and that it takes time to get used to having a new phone, especially when old one was a Nokia who clearly are the people who "think" about things properly, watch where everyone else cocked up - and then come along and do it better !! anyway I know I said i always end on a good note but I lied. Oh okay then... overall 8.5 out of 10

  • i think this is a very stylish phone 4 anyone

  • The Samsung E700 are very smart mobile but there are only two games on my one I don't know why but that is smart.

  • this phone looks very good! i love the design and i love almost everything 'bout this e700. one disappointment is, this phone can't use downloaded or composed ringtone for group ringtone. only default ringtone for group ringtone?? urgh... damn! (and there is no samsung's can use downloaded or composed ringtone for sms tone.. right?)

  • Do any one know how to keep the gprs connected while the flip is closed? As my gprs disconnects when I close its Flip.

  • Good job Samsung! Keep it up!

  • well, Samsung E700 is still the best camera phone. Innostream 90? sucks. It's worse than anything else. I bought it for a week & it hangs so often that I lost my count to it. And the photo display is so ulgy. Believe me, don't buy Innostream90. I've just changed to E700 and I'm so glad I did it.

  • i got this 1 y'day really cool.. but it sucks in 1 part for the price we pay no Blutooth duhh..

  • The E700 is a credit to samsung's mobile phones, what a great phone, small, light, cool, funky,compact, what a great phone everyone should have one it's the best phone in the world yes yes yes it is!! harry longbottom rules

  • Hi, I will be getting an E700 soon, but I need to know how can I download other languages into my phone?

  • What a great shame, such a great phone and no bluetooth, whats wrong with u Samsung

  • If you want to transfer pics to your computer you need to download this program (pims and file manager 31mb) from www.samsunghandphones, they give a step by step guide to setup, just click on the e700 link. good luck

  • i got this phone less than 2 weeks ago and i realli regret.. anyone knows where to get the inno 90 in singapore?

  • If you want to turn off the camera sound go to this site www.e700.electriccastle.nl/ also this site is good for info on the e700 www. samsunghandphones.com.

  • I would suggest users to buy an Innostream 90 instead of this E700.First of all, Innosteram 90 display colour is better than E700.Secondly,the functions are much better than E700.And Thirdly,which is the most important of all is that it is much VALUE FOR MONEY compared to this E700. I give Innostream 90 a 12/10 compared to Samsung E700

  • this model is supper 10/10 points.

  • hey there people i love m,y new e700 but certaint hings bug me, like i cant have it vibrate and ring at the same time to let me know someones calin?!?! is this not possible? also i cant seem to turn all the sounds off like takin pictures deletinmessages etc, without having the whole phone on silent, great phone just small things buggin me please help

  • This phone is the bomb, you dont know how wicked it really is till ya get ya hands on one. Get one, GET ONE NOW !!!!!!

  • i bought this phone last month. the camera is almost perfect for a handphone. the memory for the photos, sms, ringtone, and other application is big enough. i like this phone.

  • unfortunately software doesn't come with phone, you have to download from samsung website home page, image editor is about 20ish megabites. there are others too. whole package download is 81meg for e700. a good irda should do the trick (infra red port - except 4 some laptops)i found this very frustrating personally as i had a SE Z600 which was a dream to use with easy gui (graphic user interface) and it connected to my pc for downloads even without the software. e700 has fantastic camera and memory but you can't do naff all with it coz the phone is very unpersonalisable compared to others available (eg the old brick sharp gx1)!! good links 4 e700 from samsung homepage, tones, savers games etc

  • proper phone.stylish funky good looks good mulit shot camera too.best camera on any mobile phone.i sell phones for a living and its ace.

  • very good camera quality

  • they told me that e700 once you open it you could speak; is it like that; if yes, can you change that options( to press the answer button)

  • Great phone, i love it, crazy camera, BUT does ANYONE know how in the world to get to all the (5) games it meant to have, all i can find is 2 ?!?!? Thank Peace Out

  • Does the Samsung E700 come in other colours apart from the silver/dark blue model seen here?

  • does anyone know how to download picture from e700 to PC? mu memory getting full n i dont know how to DL. what is the software??? n using wad media to download? cable or infrared???

  • Nice phone with great features. Worth buying!!

  • top buy!! e700 on orange online 12mnth contract. phone £20!! contrct £50/mnth 500 txt free and 400 xnet anytime mins, quite good!!

  • matt R.E. mms probs. sounds like o2 havn't enabled your mms settings with their server. go to the site to download the settings for your phone,(they should send settings via txt) if that doesn't work then you'll have to ring them (5151 from mobile)to enable mms on your tarrif. Good luck though coz O2 charge 50p/min and provide crap cutomer service on the whole.

  • posh phone.best camera on the market place.stylish good memory 9meg.excellent 9/10

  • can someone please help me.......i have the Samsung E700 on an O2-UK contract...and i have taken lots of pics with my phone but i dont know how to send them....it keeps saying MMS failed....also when i do receive a pic message it says i have to go to the websit to view it as it wont open on my phone...how can i receive them to my phone and look at the pics there?......if anyone can help me please write a reply as apart from the problems i am having with MMS it is a totally wickedly cool phone!!!!!!!!!!

  • this model look nice,but expensive to buy.

  • Help!! Which one is better? E700 or Motorola V600??

  • Stefan D: e715 is made for U.S. markets... e700 is for EU .. so e700 and e715 are 3Q 2003 phones.. e715 is _NOT_ a new version of e700

  • I curently own an r715 and the memory is smaller than then the memory of my previous e700 cellphone. E715 has exactly 6708kb (mms+images+java+sounds+voice recorded sounds etc) while e700 about 8.7 . Plus e700 has got dinamical memory so u can store more images or more photos... My question: shoudn't e715 be newer and better. The only minus of the e700 is that they have a flip problem and no phot id... Stupid...

  • Does anyone know if you can change the settings so that incoming SMS messages go to the phone memory rather than the SIM? An inbox capacity of 20 is too small!!

  • E715 does not have video capture. I own one and it doesnt have this feature. It only has easier acces to voice recording (not only through the mms menu) and picture caller id. Here are some codes to modify mms and gprs settings on t-mobile locked e715: *#87667# - mms *#86927# - wap gprs

  • is this e700 an auto flip one? im thinkin of gettin it next week.... pls reply..

  • has e700 called ID (like e715) ? has e700 video capture (like e715) ? can I take e700 or e715 ?? please answer me!:)

  • a fab phone but does anyone know where to get the cable and software from

  • does anyone know if the picture of the person comes up when they ring you as in photo phonebook?

  • nice design, especially the intenna, nice features but crippled IrDA

  • This model is a good and quality phone!Beside that,it is a very SOLID phone! From Alex. Tel:+6013-7388886

  • to Elessar E-700 does not have any problems at all.The only thing, is that in most of the stores the stock ran out, and it`s not replaced by the E-710, it`s an extension, heavier,with picture caller,video player, but without external oled screen

  • to Stefan D well, my fone does shake a bit too, but this isn`t a big problem.I heard that other E-700 owners have this "problem" with the fone, but again, all E-700 have this thing, because the fone was built like this, otherwise it`s cool

  • Hello! I have Samsung E700 but it doesn't have many functions of E710(picture phonebook, camera recording with sound). Do you know that Is there any firmware update that can enable these functions?

  • Its cute!!!!!!!!!!!

  • we interesded 200 psc E700.please inform to us price.best reg.

  • Althoug E-700 and E-715 are same in most area but in my opinion E-700 has better look.

  • hi there all I like to say it's the brst Phone at this leval in the market Love it, yes looks like a toy

  • It is a good phone but just one problem the pouches is there for that phone cause ive got the phone for 3 months or less but i didnt get a pouche yet just afraid phone is gonna scratch,or even the camera or lens or something i dont wanna spoil the phone i need help plz.

  • PROBLEM: my e700's flip mechanism seems weak specialy at its maximum opening angle. For example if the phone is open and u shake it just a little bit the upper shell moves pretty bad, shouldn't it be a little bit more still? This gives me headaches knowing that i paid a lot of money for this my e700; Is it not profitable too change it with a P400? Please help... - cheers

  • may i know whether can this phone inputs chinese ?

  • i liked e700 design is good and the performance also....... but there in no option in phone of sending the taken photographs to computer via infrared........nor can be transfered to other phones (as there is no bluetooth tech. in the phone.

  • Has anyone seen the Beaujolais Red or Pearl White versions? Where are they available???????????

  • Fantastic Phone

  • does any one know how good the picture quality is cos i got a abnormal e700.

  • i address this to matty b who reckons sony is better than samsung. well you are a freak thats all i got to says. samsung is better in price, features and its miles ahead in design. ps. you are the weirdest dude in the world, in fact your not a dude at all

  • Gorgeous one!

  • Hello, just bought the fone from Frankfurt today.It has a very good built quality , how long do I have to charge it? Wonderful fone.Well done Samsung.Thx

  • does anyone know where the preinstalled games are? can only find the java games. thanks

  • Hey - what's happening witht the E700 - heard it had some problems and is being discontinued - replaced by E710 - anyone have any news?

  • i heard that we cant use cable 2 tranfer data to pc but we only can use infrared. so ur PC must hav infrared port.

  • Hey this fone is great, got it off www.o2.co.uk for �49.99 on a contract with 500 texts or 125 mms. Ive nearly sent a hundred pics already, this fone rules. Only problem is i dunno were to get a cable for it since i cant work the infa red. Anyone help me?

  • Thank you for your response about turning off the T9 option. It's really annoying because English is not my primary language, Croatian is so when I start writing a message, it immediately goes writing English words. But yeah, I know how to put it into an ABC mode; it's even easier just to press a bit longer top right key, but I was just wondering if it could be turned off permanently. Oh well.

  • Nice looking and the outer OLED screen is great! Samsungs still sound like a child's toy though.....

  • i bought it about s$730 i think in ringgit about 1400

  • There is no way of permanently turning off the T9, but it only takes 3 clicks of the buttons if pressing the sms shortcust key, top right key then top left key!!!

  • Why dont u just learn how to use t9, it's much easier ie: just type 43556 for hello.

  • Hi! Can anyone please tell me how to turn OFF the T9 option when writing SMS? It's rather annoying to start writing a message with T9 already turned on. I have to go to OPTIONS to turn it off every time I want to write a message. Is there any other way to turn it OFF permanently? Please answer me. Thank you!

  • this can be an annoying phone if your a bloke who carries the phone round in your pocket - the button on the right hand side of the phone is easlily depressed when in your pocket and many a time i have taken it out and found it on camera mode and has taken hundreds of pictures of the inside of my pocket! great. not just that but, if your buying this on vodafone in the uk - beware!! i dont know anyone who has been able to send any pictures yet - may be some kind of compatibility problem????

  • Hi all. I have heard that this phone got 10sec digital video camara izit true?? And can someone pls tell me how much Ringgit(money) this handphone at Malaysia?

  • its very good but i have a problem which is i dont have a softwere for it actualy i want to change some tones and some games thats why i realy need it will u tell me that how can i found it and where and how can i utilize it ireply me ok

  • is there any application for that phone 2make it able 2 capture short video clips??or it already can?

  • GREATEST FLIP PHONE EVER! best suits for lady! See it real and you will not change your mind for another flips

  • The voting results do not match with the quailites of this phone so be fair it realy deserve ten out of ten in each field.

  • I tell u readers that E 700 is the best hand set among all sets that have currnetly been released.

  • yes, the software needed is available. just search for easystudio on google. not difficult if u aint lazy! im writing this using my mobile otherwise i would give u a link...

  • perfect,beautiful,excelent,best phone y ewer had untill now.

  • This is a fantastic phone, design and features, massive 9mb memory and the best camera out on the market. Well done samsung. I'm so sick of nokia's.

  • Look what the samsung website says about OLED displays ".... current OELD has a short lifespan, approximately 10,000 hours..." What is that supposed to mean?Just 416 days its gonna work?

  • Fantastic!!!

  • i got it,its ok not bad at all,well not have problems with the keys yet hehe:) oh just wondering,is all E700 phones front Screen when taking photos the screen is abit bluring with not much colour...(is that a problem with the phone? yes it does have a calculator:)

  • I'm planning to purchase this phone but calculator is not listed. Can someone please tell me does it have a calculator or not? I think it should have! Thank you!

  • Believe me readers that this the most perfect hand set I ever used. Go for it without any hesitation.

  • this is cool i think,im getting it soon,but i heard that the key pad bottons stick inside of the phone and once stick inside its quite hard to pick it out again...?if u no wat i mean.by all means im still getting it bcos its such a cool phone

  • Could someone tell me how to display the photo of the caller on the external LCD?? Thank you!

  • this mobile is really cool! For me its the best camera phone to be found on the market at the moment.

  • Im going to get this phone on contract as soon as it comes out, hope the plans arent really expensive.

  • I just bought e700 but it did not come with any software with which i can communicate between my phone and laptop. I was using s300 before and it came with easy gprs and i could communicate with my phone through IR connection on my laptop. Can anyone suggest how can i go about it ?? If it does not have any software than this phone is useless

  • I really love this phone!! I can't wait to get it! It's a shame that it doesn have a flash like 715,but maybe I'll survive without it.

  • NONE OTHER! Basically, that is all I can say. This phone possesses all the necessary and unnecessary perks you would ever need to be noticed, successful, and and techno-savvy. I applaud Samsung for this make... they are way ahead of the game. There's nothing else to say, except peep it out because it goes without explanation that this phone will be the highlight of the year!

  • Just bought the phone and I must say that E700 is the best phone I ever had and I had a lot of phones. 9 Mb memory , best camera from all the phones , perfect inside night shots , perfect sounds , easy , pretty , no antenna , IrDa , everything except bluetooth , e-mail client and voice functions which i don't need. Connected to PC via Infrared (Easy Studio) can upload and download pictures and music very easy. It is a fashion phone with very good characteristics and I recommend it to everyone.

  • can you please help me to check the phone e700 or e715 thank you have a nince day

  • class fone

  • Can I know whether Samsung E700 is out in Singapore? If yes, how much does it cost?

  • Just let you see ... ja:)

  • This phone looks very interesting but there seems to be so many complaints. Ill see if ill get this or the v600 when it comes out.

  • If you like taking pictures, this is the best choice. I've tested many new cam-phones, includind SE Z600, Nokia 6600, Panasonic X-70, LG 7100... etc. and this is simply the best, even in indoor or artificial light conditions. The menu is easy to operate and a photo and be taken in 2 seconds. It has 9Mb memory to store hundreds of photos. The battery life is not as short as most people expect, even in heavy-duty usage.

  • SHUT UP mattyb !! SAMSUNG is WAAAY better than SONY ERICSSON!! E700 has better quality, more advanced camera system and more!! Even compare the prices, u can tell easily which phone is better and which is for poor peoples like u haha

  • Does this work as tri-band? If it is, I want to know the price..

  • Sony Ericsson is so much betta then Samsung, this thing has no Blutooth, bat performance is Very average, the colour on the Z600 is way betta

  • anyone know is E700 have a picture caller id or not?

  • I just bought one in Hong Kong. Very dissapointing. A lot of features stated in the online manual were missing in the Chinese phone manual. Cannot configure even the time and date on the front display. No games. No infrared. Does anyone know why? Pls. tell me.

  • excelent mobile phone made from samsung,great quality,great design and fantastic features

  • i love this phone! can someone give it to me free..? =) can samsung sponsor me this phone, i can recomend this to all of my friends here in the manila. tnx! good work samsung!

  • I have a Samsung E700 and it's great. 9Mb memory!! That are a lot of ringtones and pictures ;-) For "Kris": buy IR port (not too . expensive) and download EasyStudio from www.Samsung.se. Here you can use your IR port to send and receive foto's ringtones and pictures from and to your E700!! (for you too Pat)_. Battery performance is acceptable, but not as good as nokia or SE. Overall; a very good phone!!

  • Good phone, but lacks in a few areas. First and sadly no bluetooth, ok i thought, i will try and use the cable - however it turned my phone off and i was unable to turn it back on without the use of the charger, and third and finally it doesnt have any software written for it yet for use with an IR... However, if you arnt a person fussy about customising it, its clean cut display, sleek lines and external display with high res camera makes it a great buy. I certainly am not dissapointed with my purchase apart from the current lack of customisation that you can do to it... Come on samsung, pull your socks up and get the easy gprs software written for it.

  • compact, sleek, light and very stylish .excellent camera quality with a huge zoom. night mode is good for taking snaps inside but useless outside at night. internal antennae saves the phone from getting stuck in your pocket. all in all its a big thumbs up..

  • Cant send photo to other mobile, tells them to go to website to collect. if I send via email only the text arrives . NO PHOTO. What a waste of money. If Im doing something wrong perhaps someone will tell me!!!!. Crap screensavers and cant download more. And by the way, anyone planning on using Virgin with a camera phone DONT. Virgin do not support photo messaging.

  • Pls see ya... ;)

  • Hi, Just bought this phone recently and WOW, it's really good and it's camera is excellent. But it does not come with cable and software :-(((. I downloaded Easy GPRS and obtained a Samsung data cable. When connected all the phone does is indicate that it's charging via the PC port!!! CONFUSED now. Don't have an IR port. Anybody please help????

  • why not bluetooth?????? please answer me thanks

  • Sonyericsson kicks Samsung ass

  • Samsung No Doubt Good Phone But what about Batterry Performance ??????

  • A perfect disien and funktions!!!!

  • i would like to know where a good place to buy the e700 is?

  • Hi faza check this phone and the price there.. coz my next aim is for this bung. realy cool ne? tae care kuthub
