  • Great phone, I am using this from past 4 years.

  • hi. if u r using this handset plz tell me the model no.of original battery of this handset. i m not getting its battery anywhere. plz help

  • I've been using the phone for more than 4 years now. It has never given me any problems, except that twice I had to get the slider ribbon changed, but that's okay. Evry slider/flap phone needs to get some parts changed in a while. Other than that, the phone has an awesome display. I downloaded the opera mini browser and internet speed is too good with it. I would suggest to all the owners not to use the default browser because that sucks! I only wish it had a loudspeaker, wi-fi and more space for messages. Other than that, it's beautiful, has a strong metal body and is value for money!

  • this site doesnt tell u price of the phones. check on e-bay, ask ppl who's selling it or companies. however, this is a rare phone so its a little hard to find. it doesnt exist on samsung's official website. its known in hong kong tho, i heard.

  • menu > settings > sound setting > either incoming call, keypad tone, message tone, click them n set it.

  • it completely goes away, that's y they ask you if you wanna delete them or not. but, if u have a smartphone, it goes to a recyling bin like computers

  • menu > settings > sound settings > incoming call > click the middle button and find songs from any file

  • put the cd in that comes with ur phone, and install the program. then, u can upload stuff into ur comp. if the cd didnt come with u, u didnt get a legit one. or, u could try downloading the program if u can find it.

  • tht happened to me too, try connecting it to your comp usb. if this doesnt work too, then ur connector is broken. u can either send it to samsung n fix it or do wat i did. i bought an extra battery, and a separate charger that charges battery alone. so i switch it when its low. now i cant connect my phone to my comp, but u can if u have bluetooth in ur comp.

  • The battery life is quite good. Not a bad budget phone. Its worth buying.Looks great aswell. Good job samsung.

  • if we delete any picture from the phone, its gets deleted completed or it goes into some cache memory in the phone. If yes, Cna u please tell me where can i find those items in the cache memory in the phone. Thanks

Regarding features: Camera - picture quality is nice, Music - volume little low but of good quality, voice clarity- good, Themes - sorry, only one theme. voice recording - good. Keys - one has to become used to to the soft touch function then it is enjoyable. GPRS - fast. in conclusion, I recommend this phone strongly.

  • I have planned to buy samsung e840. Can anyone tell me about the camera clarity,sound and downloading games

  • Number 1 : is not for people who are carreles, is doesn't have tollerance from impacts. Number 2 : The camera is bad.it takes pictures like an old VGA Number 3 : The touch keys are a killer. In conlusion think again ;)

  • Monica please tell your friend that he has to try other brands of celfones aside from Samsung so he can objectively compare features and durability.

  • this is a great phone. i know someone who uses this and he made a smart decision buying this. He really is the smartest and knows what to recommend!

  • For those who love sending SMS/text messages using T9, this is one of the few Samsung phones that allow you to return or go back to a previous word to change it (by pressing the "0" key) without having to erase the word and retype it and then choose an option. Saves a lot of time and frustration. Why doesn't Samsung do this to all their phones' software. The U600 has the same software but you can't change the word easily.

  • io penso che questo telefono si buono

  • very good mob. first time to used it on may 2007. really very good. till now

  • Did someone succeed in downloading WinAsUGo to this phone?

  • amazingly sexy and stylish

  • I have been using Samsung E840 past 1 year. Its stylish and the thinnest metal slider in the world. And you don't need a mirror anymore cuz the screen relects. Good points: -Amazing screen cuz Samsung is like the one of the best screen makers in the world.[Viewing angle is awesome] -Supports ALBUM ART! which is very cool for a non-music phone[it shows the pictures of the album you are playing] -4 buttons on the top are touch pads -SMS/texting messages are very easy. i find it better than Nokia -Watching movies is suitable as it supports fullscreen viewing[screens can also be flipped] -Very light and thin -70mb internal memory and MicroSD slot -Can install JAVA games using hidden codes[i am playing doom rpg and super mario lol] -Good for business purpose cuz you can view MS office files like .doc,.ppt,etc and also notepad txt files and Acrobat reader pdf files -Listening to songs through your bluetooth stereo headset -Can put moving gif files as the wallpaper -Mobile Tracker can be used -TV out -Videos can be recorded at max 352x288 resolution -Bluetooth connection is very easy and optimized -PC Software is quite useful and can convert videos also -Can be synchorised to Windows media player or iTunes[using plugins] -Removal of SIM card is easy -Can also record your phone calls using hidden codes -Can be charged with USB connection also -Good spec for its price -Nice and attractive GUI[two colors can be chosen black and white] Bad points- -Listening to music is just fine cuz its not a music phone -Can't use the camera while the slider is closed cuz the camera is hidden -Instructions are not very clear. Can't understand some of the options -No flash -Can't change themes One tip for E840 users- To save the battery life put the brightness to minimum as it is almost same as the maximum setting[max setting hurts your eyes] From Bangalore,India p.s. I am selling my phone so if anyone is interested or have questions plz email me~

  • Hi all, I have this mobile for 1 year. Its very stylish,Cam clarity is awesome. Video clarity at the best.It can browse through other mobile's files when bluetooth is connected. BUT, when it comes to sound its the worst. When u try to send files to other mobiles,by default it sends to phone memory and not to Card memory. Memory card comes out frequently.Daily we have to charge the mobile if you are interested in photo or video you can trust this phone otherwise think twice.

  • The Samsung SGH-E840 is a surprisingly well designed phone from the inside out. It�s not perfect and there are still many things left to discover, but I would recommend this phone enthusiast to the novice simple end-user. Pros ---- - Phone Call Clarity - Signal Strength - Large Beautiful Color Screen - Smooth Functioning Slider - Compact and lightweight - Very Cool Touch Screen Keys - Tolerable Battery Life (2days) - Picture and Video Display is Excellent - Customizable Favorite Programs Menu - Packed With Neat Features Cons (or Minor Nuances) ---- - Only one theme provided (but that one theme is nice) - No 3G (everyone is hung up on this so I�ll just write it anyway) - Touch Keys are Hyper-Sensitive (but that�s why it�s called touch keys) - Configuring the internet/mms for AT&T was a pain - Overseas phones are not insurable by service providers - Difficult to install applications and games (so I�ve read) OVERALL: The Samsung SGH-E840 is a beautifully crafted intelligent phone that most should immediately fell in love with. The some of the neat features include: Document Viewer - FM Radio, Currency Converter, Calculator, Multiple Alarm Settings, Organizer, To-Do-List, Calendar, 70MB Internal Memory, Extended Memory MicroSD (up to 2GB), Bluetooth technology v 2.0, Quad band, EDGE/GPRS)

I can't I bought the worthless Silver Samsung E250 instead of E840, but that wasn't there when I bought the E250, "SOB, SOB :( " Oh well, maybe when this phone does come into stock I'll consider buying this shiny as S*** phone, I meant it in a good way!

  • 2 gb

  • hey upto how much we can extend the memory

  • On paper the d900i is the better phone but couldnt decide so ordered both,well the only thing going for the d900i is the flash on camera other than that the e840 is much better.not much difference in phone layout etc but the e840 has lots of extras that are lacking in the d900i such as effects to edit your images like warp (v funny) and the ability to use mp3 as message tones.I like the toolbar on homescreen for easy access to the phones menus.also has sunlight mode to see screen better in bright light.Im just glad I compared both as everyone seems to think the d900 is the better of the two but if your undecided like me dont be fooled and go for the e840.

  • josh - this phone vibrates on any rintone as it rings. you can change the setting for all users that want to get this phone. i guess the downside is the camera. it is pretty delayed have to wait for 4 secs b4 the photo is taken.

  • samsung e840 is very nice mobile .its camera quality, its look, is too good in real. i like it.thanks 4 such a phone

  • It support java. u can have 40 java games max

  • does the phone support java software if i download it from net n can pls some1 find a way to play games on it after transfering on it via usb

  • does this phone vibrate on all ringtones? or only on certain ones like the E720

  • The phone is good. The mp3 quality is fantastic if u use a third part adapter and useing a good quality headphones. the stock handset is a joke for mp3. The a2dp works well but has major flaw. If u use stereo bluetooth for mp3 player you cant get out of the mp3 player, meaning u can only listen to song and cant multi task not even send msgs basically its locked. The other anoying thing is even when u set the option to play music in the background everytime u get a call while listening to mp3 after disconnecting the call it will ask whether to resume music player or not which kinda spoils the whole music experience. its very bad when ur driving and after u fininsh a call u have to fidle with your mobile to press some keys to resume the music. To transfer music the best option is to sync with windows media player. It works flawlesly. The file transfer is very fast. the camera is very decent for 2mp. The touch sensitive buttons is lil pain but its ok.

  • Hi yes, I tried this code provided by Ankit... it worked - i mean java got enabled.... but I coudn't install the game - it gave some IO exception error....

  • Well the phone is too good i kove it. The design is good and its very potable. I love it

  • I asked the Samsung people. All .jad and .jar upto size of 700 kb can be installed on the phone but ONLY when they are downloaded directly into the phone. If you transfer the file via the Phone Explorer, it wont work...

  • i only like the design of this phone.. but the quality is not very good..the camera, the recoded sound is terrible....but i have to accept it since it is a gift..

  • phone support max. 2 gB micro sd card

  • up to what memory it will support...he simply mentioned mcroSD, but up to what memory he didnt mentioned at all... does any one know this?

  • Install games on samsung SGH E840 mobile .0AHere%........................................­...................................iles to the phones memory to the 'Other Files' folder. You can transfer the files from Samsung PC Studio's 'Phone Explorer', or just transfer it straight to the memory card and move it to 'Other Files' from the phone's menu. If you don't have a .jad file, you can download 'Jad Maker' (google) and make a new one. just drag and drop your .jar file into "jad maker" screen and it will make .jad file 4 u. 2. Exit all menus and type in this code: *#9998*4678255#. You should now get a 'Activated' message. Java install is enabled. 3. Go to the 'Other Files' folder and select the .jad file (should be 1kb). Press 'Options' (left touch key) and you should get a 'Do you want to install' question. Press 'Yes' to install. 4. To deactivate Java install, simply type the same code again. You should now get a 'Deactivated' message." hope it may work, i haven't tried right now. but very soo i m gonna try this.

  • I own one since over 6 months... Themes cant be downloaded on the phone. The speaker is not good enough, but overall the phone is pretty good. I DO NOT recommend buying an E840 after Nokia N70. Go for something better... And yes, the keytone of xylophone can be changed or switched off from sound settings...

  • should i buy it is it worth

  • Hi!I bought this fone last week,its a good one of samsung except few things 1.Much sensitive keys on front2.SMS goes direct in box3.End call button follwed by i key 4.Low volume of player

  • The E840 is one of the best mobiles I surely recommand this elegant mobile, best features include the camera and the polyfonic ringtones.

  • hello people, i am finally the happy owner of a E 840. I went out to buy the D900i but it wasnt in stock so i ended up getting a e840, rejecting a d840, and boy am i glad that i did it. O f course i am still experimenting with the handset, but lut me tell you folks who are reading this, that people have exgagereted about the review of the E 840. Believe me it is a wonderful phone and i know this since i have used s40,s60 s80, SE and Motorola, Ericsson and even a Sendo X. Read it below Resolution: better than all the nokia phones, does not seems tooo bright Battery: 1.5 to 2 days, which is good for average to heavy calling and apps. I used the 6233 b4 this and if my batt lasted 3 days it meant i have listened to music. Feather touch controls: best in the class for this money, i paid Rs. 9000 or $225.I may be an advanced user having used samsung b4 but believe me it does not take more than a day getting used to it. Music and sound: office goers have to keep the ringer at 2 or 3,, much too loud beyond that . music load time may take 3-4 secs but playback is smooth. FM radio is superb, havent tested the browser, am using a 1 gb Lexar McSD, and believe me it does not slow up the phone, looks is the main reason why u shud get his phone, very zany for the executives, unisex phones, only for the delicate or nimble handed, ...Whew,,all for now.. More later. Meanwhile go ahead and buy the phone without any fear and do not be afraid to experiment. there's life outside Nokia and SE. Happy buying. Cheers...

  • hi! is the memory card reading speed that slow?

  • yes the call & reject buttons on the front are touch sensitive. to ensure that u get max. out of the battery reduce the brightness of the screen to min(its still bright enough) and turn off the wallpaper animations & the dialing screen animations. also turn off the keypad tones if it does not matter to u. the battery backup will definitely improve!!!

  • Hi there.. I'm living in Denmark and is right now in China for vocation. The Telephone price depends a lot on if you want it with 1 year warranty or not. I've been thinking to buy this phone in Pink, but I also like the U700, they look some like each other, but this one E840 is a bit cheaper.

  • my phone is really weird.. almost everyday the screen will be a navy blue and i am forced to turn it off and back on again so that it will work and the other day i did that and all my music and pictures had been deleted off automatically :S does anyone else have this problem?

  • hey does anyone know how much this phone currently costs in china ? i've heard that its something like 3,000 in their money over there which is quite expensive =S

  • yeah u r rite @mat2

  • My intention is not to misguide anybody. I'd like to share my problems with e840 owners and wannabe owners. in addition my last 2 post. Display's cover gets scratch very easyly. Battery cover and other paints starts fading. Left soft key freeze more often especially first time about 20 minutes of idle. Equaliser go default every time music player off. Handsfree button does not work to end a call. Please note that all those problems are not only with my phone.

  • @John My phone also has a slider problem. The quality of materials is very bad. After 1 week it's slider starts wobbling when open. Don't think it's solid when closed there's also disturbing creak at between near touch button area and keymat (between upper and lower part at bottom).

  • I never met such a excellent phone. Each and every aspect is very good. I am sure this is the only slim mobile in sliding model. One and only drawback is sound. You cannot expect a very good sound quality equalent to music edition. sound is very much similar to basic model of other samsung's.

  • this phone is great except for one thing. when i slide it up, it is wobbly and does not feel solid at all... i tried to return it or get it fixed and they said even the new phones are like this.... can it be that samsung would sell sliders that are wobbly by design??? seems unlikely. what is your experience

  • Sorry~ the code is actually *#9998*4678255#

  • I need someone to help me please I bought this phone for my mom birthday an she told me she is able to may call,which i found out that the phone is on line 2. How do i get it on line 1?

  • You should type *#9998*install#

  • man the above trik doesnt wor kon this phone

  • i just bought my samsung e840 yesterday and i fnd it so cool and really a head turner phone. so if ur planning to buy this model,damn u'l neva regret... thumbs up to samsung...

  • there is a excellent phone and the phone of year i think. it is wonderful

  • My daughter wants this ph 4 her bday, can somebody tell me how many songs it can hold?Thanxs

  • Samsung phones dont support themes. [only some phones support it. not this one] If you wanna go for multitasking phones go for nokia n series or other phones. You can play music while doing other things except going to image,video folder and using image editor.

  • The best phone in its price range~ I found out the way to install additional software or games. HOW TO INSTALL .JAR(OR JAVA) GAMES AND SOFTWARE IN E840 1) Type in the code *#9998*52824678255# 2) Your phone should return with 'Activated' 3) Now using Bluetooth or USB cable, connect to your phone 4) If you have a game as .jar, but don't have a .jad file, use JadMaker to create one. 5) Copy the .jar AND .jad file of the game into the folder called "Other Files" on your phone. 6) Now on your phone under 'My Files' browse to the 'Other Files' folder and left click with the touch pad or press ok 7) Left click the .jad files you created(normally its 1KB files).The phone will ask you if you want to Install the game. Say yes 8) After Install you will find the game under Games(in java world) on your phone. 9) You can now remove the .jar and .jad file again (they were only there to install the game onto your phone). Any questions plz email me ^^ I am playing zelda, mario, etc =)

  • i love it!!!!!!!period u guys dnt knw wat u r mising,toking abt poor batteries u can only mention motorolla

  • my dad bought me this phone from hk and so far it's been 2 days with no battery drop at all, unless the battery meter is broken which i doubt it. I haven't been extensively been using it except just testing its functions. so the battery department is good for me. just make sure you charge 8-10 hours first charge for every cell in the battery to charge up. good buy. the only thing that i can't figure out is how to turn off ringtone in the middle of a call that i don't want to yet answer. anyone know?

  • My friend from Korea gave me this phone. but of course it doesn't support any networks here in our region. what i only wwant is to store music, videos, and pictures in it. how can I store media files using a card? thanks

  • THIS PHONE SUXXXXXXXXXXXX I bought this phone 2 months back it started giving me problem after 1 week only , my cell was automatically restarting, auto heat up etc. I got this replaced , but the new set is also getting restated automatically, sometimes display goes off even though cell is switched on. I ma really sick of it... :(

  • hey to all users of this phone.. i am considering to purcase this phone or the u600.. does e840 has flash on its camera? and hows the keypad? pls reply.. heres my email.. [email protected] thanks so much..

  • i was interested in buying the cell but after reading other peoples opinion i have to change my mind...sorry samaung...

  • i have seen many people complaining about not getting the songs from m.card. The songs should be stored only in 'music' folder. not in any other folder. not even creating your own folder inside the 'music' folder. ie u have to store the songs as such in music folder. Go music player and playlist. add music from m.card. it will come. It is disappointing that the phone does not get the songs from m.card automatically. One more thing the phone back side, battery, heats up so quickly. the manufacturer should do something about this, when they are going for slim models.

  • i bought dis fone 1 month ago and it is agood fone as it has everything

  • I have some question for e840 users... Can U make playlist with the mp3's from the memory card? On this mobile, can U use multiple applications on the same time (minimizing one of them). 10x and sorry for my english..

  • i have charged the battery for 2 hrs yesterday nite...dnt know what exactly is the problem...i guess i almost lost my money on this mobile.Sick of this..Frankly speaking even i have used the samgsung mobile previously and if i had charged it for 1 hour it used to come all the day with out any interuption...gnd mad with this

  • You must charge baterrrry 2-3 hours and you will not have problems

  • i was not happy with E840.The battery capacity is very very very very very pppoooooooor.Its not coming even for 2 hrs completly.I regret for buying the mobile by paying this much.

  • i have purchased the e 840 1 day before and on that day i was on the top of the world.

  • had this fone for ages only had 1 problem; it wasn't connecting to ma pc, and i love 2 have music on ma fone so it was a bit of a let down.

  • Its a good and stylish phone. Jus brought it 2 month ago. No complaint 4 the battery lasting,screen,file transfer,play movies n songs as u all complaint.

  • To nimish, Yep. This phone can play videos in fullscreen it can be horizontal or vertical. For that you need to press # button. You can put any tone for the message. It can be mp3 songs or just tunes. To MR CURIOUS, With external memory card you can store almost unlimited messages.

  • WHy nobody reply me=(...how many messages can this phone store?

  • It's Good a mobile,but sliding

  • im SO IN LOVE with this phone!!! :) i sold it to so many custmrs but i still hvnt gotten one 4 myself :(

  • hey i wanna know whether dis fone can play video in full screen and whether i can set my own messaging tone as both above were not available on the e250 i had b4

  • how do copy my contacts from pc to my cel?

  • To smajilya Those problems are only for ur phone only. You can put jpeg/jpg/gif,etc file formats for wallpaper. No problem with the slider and video recording works fine.

  • The firmware of E840 not stable. After firmware upgrade it's not also stable. 1. Wallpaper can't be changed with jpg image but a jif can be set. 2. Video recording with sound on leaves gaps or blank sound during recording, picture movent also affected. 3. Slider get loose and make a creak at closed position.

  • how many messages can this phone store up to in the inbox? eg u600 can store up to 1000sms

  • I bought this phone a week ago and hands down it's the worst phone ever! the screen scratches easily, you can't see anything after just 2 days of using it. i bought an extra battery because i heard of reviews of bad battery capacities, omg i can't believe both of them didn't last me one day! I traded battery's with my friends phone and his battery barely lasted me 3 hrs. overall the cons kill the pros and i highly regret buying this phone.

  • does e840 have voice dialing?

  • hey im a great fan of music on your mobile but when i move the songs from MYFILES to MEMORY card the songs dissapear from MUSIC PLAYER. Is there any reason for this ? it would be greatfull if someone could reply to this thanks alot james

  • Wonderful phone. My friends all envy me, it is one of the most exclusive phones to have. Samsung does not fail to impress!!

  • nice phone but confusing and not very user friendly for music. I can't figure out how to transfer music from the MY FILES section to the Music Player and now only 1 song on Music Player and 112 in My Files annoying and still have space avail. but after transfering only 13 songs it says memory full?? Maybe going back to the easy to use Sony w850

  • i droped my e 800 after owning it for one month screen gone not broke split or cracked just lit up with no colour and as for battery if it lasts you more than a day make some friends....not impressed.

  • please tel me that can you upload your mobile pics directly from your mobile to internet by orkut or flickr etc??

  • Just recently got one E840.. Good and nice finish.. Only one problem I am facing and that is to up load or down load photos. Even SamsungPCStudio send to phone option also not working. Both Photos and Videos. It says format in competable. I can transfer them to micro sd but can't view it if it is over size. But I think the softwared doesn't support the photos and videos from out side to load in to Phone Memory... Guys please give opinion or solutions for this

  • i m interested in this fone.i wanted to ask whether we can play video with full screen and what video formats can it play.also can i use other functions of the fone while i m listening to the music?

  • gret phone good camera nice design battery after few charging give more time

  • Hey guys! one new prob! while hearing FM or MP3 i could not get d incoming call....??PLZ check.. also before attending call its getting locked...

  • after few charge and discharge cycle battery will give time.

  • I'm being crazy and passion about using variety of mobiles..... And this is one of the best i've bought... This mobile is very stylish and gives executive look to an ordinary individual too... Camera clarity is awesome and i've not seen this much clarity in any mobiles so far... The sound effect is little dull in speaker, but it is dreadful in ear phone, only problem of the mobile is battery, it is not even withstanding for a day if we hear music...

  • I just got this phone yesterday and its great! One problem is i hav about 9 dead pixels on my screen and with the black background they do stand out... Shoul i bring it back or will they not accept it?

  • After one month of buying this phone, the ringer stopped working and you can not play music on the speaker, does any one know of any solution?

  • i just got mines... and im having a tuff time changing my settings around. HOW can you take out the xylophone sound on the main menue/pickup/hangup buttons things NOT the dialing number.. cause everytime i touch it makes that annoying xylophone sound? i mean can it just have a simple tone or no tone at all?

  • Yesterday only i bought this mobile and kept in charge for 8 hours as per instructions. but today afternoon charge went down... All my friends praised the stylish look and features of this mobile(EVEN ME). but no charge to enjoy the features

  • I want to buy this phone but am unable to decide which color to go for...black or silver...which do u guys think is better??

  • And there is no problem with the battery. It can last for 3 days or more. But the only thing is once the battery is minimum the phone doesn't allow you to open any app like music,video,game,camera,etc. You can send sms,call and view the pics only. Also you can't view images with the music on. Dunno why they made it like that. Other than that this phones rulz~!

  • The best phone in its price range~ I found out the way to install additional software or games. HOW TO INSTALL .JAR(OR JAVA) GAMES AND SOFTWARE IN E840 1) Type in the code *#9998*52824678255# 2) Your phone should return with 'Activated' 3) Now using Bluetooth or USB cable, connect to your phone (IR probably works too) 4) If you have a game as .jar, but don't have a .jad file, use JadMaker to create one. 5) Copy the .jar AND .jad file of the game into the folder called "Other Files" on your phone. 6) Now on your phone under 'My Files' browse to the 'Other Files' folder and left click with the touch pad or press ok 7) The phone will ask you if you want to Install the game. Say yes 8) After Install you will find the game under Games(in java world) on your phone. 9) You can now remove the just copied .jar and .jad file again (they were only there to install the game onto your phone). Any questions plz email me ^^ I am playing zelda, mario, etc =)

  • I really like the E840 but the only thing that annoyed me was no flash light for the camera. But overall the phone is really good and reliable. Battery life is good and volume quality is good.

  • Formost of the users... Viewer who ask question, the answer are below.. Iam using thset from almost 2months.. The set seems to be good. Slide type is really smooth. No dielema for soft keys,most of the phone are of the same type now. this featureis also very good.

  • I bought this phone in India for Rs10,000 and I must say that Samsung has designed the E840 in the realms of Mercedes SLR, in terms of shape and size. The world over, big, bulky things are no longer in vouge and sooner rather than later most phones if not all, will be as sleek and thin as E840,cos why have a big phone with less features if you can pack it all in a small sleek gadget. Nokia and SE, watch out, you may be leaders today but if you dont change with the times, then Samsung will leave you in its wake. Keep it up Samsung lets have a 5mp camera with the next E840 update, I cant wait to have it.

  • Hi has any one had a problem with battery life on there e840..?, as i have had 2 phones and 3 batteries and they don't last for more than 8 hours and that's just in standby mode. other than that the phone is great

  • im thinking about buying the samsung e840...is this wise, overall is it a good phone??.

  • does anyone have an issue where the ringtone is very soft at the beginning when receiving a call then blasting up to normal levels after a few seconds? is there anyway to fix this? and no, I do not have the setting set on "increasing melody". Thanks!

  • no flash light is not thr

  • There is a definate fault with these. I have had 3 phones and all have had the faulty left soft key. I took one back to carphone warehouse today and the key wouldnt work without a hard press and then all of a sudden it starts working. They replaced it claiming that the protective screen plastic was causing a problem. The replacement is just as bad even with the screen protector off. I will keep it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. It seems to work fine after a while so I suspect it may be a software fault

  • This phone is not able to play WMV format. Is there any solution for this prob. because i have maximum files in wmv formet. If anybody have the solution of it so plz tell me. Regards, Hunny

  • Excellent Phone, great camera ;-), worth buying, but no flash :-(

  • can this phone take video

  • Is this phone worth buying ???

  • does this phone have a flash????

  • To those of you in the UK that are on Virgin Mobile, I picked this phone up for �75. That's because the phone has been reduced to �99.99 plus virgin gave me �20 red rewards (so check your accounts people) and �5 off because I already had a virgin sim card. On top of that you get a �70 voucher which translates to 200 minutes to spend on cross network calls by the 31st of October. The best bit is that I found out that the phone is unlocked - I put my O2 sim in and to my suprise it worked!

  • To Candy, I found that the quickest way to hide the music player while doing other things is to hit the cancel key. This will take you straight to the home screen of the phone. From there you can access the menu etc.

  • To find the sent date and time of a message go into your sent box 1.Highlight the message you want 2.Press Options 3. Go to details and press select 4. Scroll down to Date and you will see the date and time the message was sent. Quite a few steps to go through for some people but the sent date and time is there in this phone.

  • The problem regarding sent message date and time is hurts me, samsung must resolve this.Another prob is when i turn on message privacy no outgoing calls are possible other than default no. This is why anybody does not purchase samsung 2nd time. And samsung cust. Care favourite words is 'parts are not available'.

  • ive just bought this phone after my samsung e900 broke. samsung e840 is a reall gud phone with excellent camera nd music player i highly reccomend this phone to anyone.

  • Im loving this phone so far, but how do you hide the music player while doing other things?

  • hi....First thing attracted is Looks...Everything about this cell is great...but only thing bothers is battery Backup.

  • take e840 e840 is much better then d840

  • I am a new user of this phone, very good if compared with others in the same cost category. Music= excellent with earplug without which it is Ok, still likable. camera....that is the one I like the most, not the camcorder although, as light create a bit of prob. Must buy for....lover of style with a sense of budget too........ Problem.....is however..with touch screen soft keys.....don't know if lamination is required to keep the screen ever shining....or it is already there..any one know please advice.........

  • i wud suggest u go for this phone.... a gr8 phone in this budget... 1.camera - the camera is fantastic... the best it can be in 2MP... 2.music player(quality, loudness) - music and fm quality is good... the volume is ok, but not very loud 3.slide mechanism - the slide mechanism is also gr8... 4.processing speed - proc speed is ok... 5.key pad - the keypad is a bit of problem... at least for me, those touch sensitive keys r very inconvenient... hope i'll get used 2 it soon 6.any comment - dunno surely as i have recently bought it and as its new the ph has been used too much... but battery life is not xtraordinary.... if u're used to batteries lasting for days, then u'll be disappointed...

  • @rsta if you check the sent message it does give time and date of sent message....

  • hey do u guys know if u can use 3.5mm headphones on this phone????

  • Does this phone have custom slide tones that you can set when you open/close it? Also does it have a lock keypad feature?

  • The Best Birthday gift I have ever received, this phone tops all other phone's in features, style & price. Very Very chic - I recommend this phone!!!

  • does this phone use a 3.5mm headphone?????

  • exactly.... i bought the phone recently... it is very good.... in fact the look is killing.... also functionality is good... will have to wait to see the performance of this phone... i have a question, plz anyone answer - i found a default theme in the phone and no other themes to change to (only some wallpapers)... can it support other themes and where can i get them?

  • Hi Friends.I am willing to buy a new ph..can u all suggest me whether i should go for this set or not!how is its sound??is it loud?how about its picture quality n battery back up!!..plzz reply...

  • someone asked has this phone a calender. yes it does. i find this phone is alright, could be better though. Girls the buttons are a bit difficult to press for texting if you have long nails, but the mirror screen is handy. Very bad thing about the phone is that when you go into the sent messages, the messages do not say what time they were sent at. This is ridiculous as it means you need to keep the delivery reports turned on and go into the inbox to see the report to say what time you sent the message at... very poor on samsung for missing out that.. other than that the phone is only ok...

  • the set is quite cool no major probs. it's jst abt the feather touch which is a bit problamatic othrwse evrythin' is ok the mp3 vol. is low

  • can anyone plz tell me whether this phone has calendar or not?

  • y cant v end call by touching clear or end call icon? very irritating to press "i" button n then only u can use these icons. i know u can just slide down to end call but sometimes v nd to make a few calls. clear icon too near center command key. very often cleared messages when texting. y? but still love this phone.

  • e840 is good. problems 1. stupid speaker-need to connect then select spkrphn then yes n by the time u'r done the caller hung up. remember v r driving n if u forget to connect headph then doom. 2.text- to insert number 3 steps-option-yes,input method-yes,scroll to numbers-yes. waste of time n effort. after that to get back to text u nd to go thru the same command again. too many unnecessary command n keys a bit too plasticky. cant even dwnload photo fr comp. design v good.

  • I just bought this phone a fortnight ago... I find it amazing except that the speaker quality (for playing songs) is not as good as expected. I am also not facing any problem with any of the keys. The battery life is about 2 days and the GPRS speed is quite good. The cam quality is good. Another thing, the earphones supplied with it are not much comfortable and dont fit easily... Overall, I give this phone 8.5/10

  • My girlfriend has this phone and she uses it for her alarm clock. It never saves the time she sets so every night she has to input the time and seeing as though she'd sleep through an atomic bomb she has to set about 6 alarms on it so she has to set all 6. Is there any way the times can be saved so they go off every morning. My Sony Ericsson has a "recurrent" option, wondered if this phone did. Thanks in advance

  • hello sir, u have given the samsung browchers, that one problem is there, e840 model dn't have flash light. but u r given that browchers flash light options is there. so i want replay immediatly.

  • Hi how to connect the samsung mobile to the pc, if the option is not available in the pc

  • the samsungu have given in the browcher that it have a flash in the phone but there is no flash ,what the hell the samsung guys are doing ...the model e 840 samsung wht they are going to do gor me ... i want the solve...

  • Just recieved my E840 - bluetoothed my images from my old mob 2 my new but won't let me view the downloaded images or set any of them as wallpaper - Can anyone help Thanks

  • - the battery life is not so good if you are used to having cellphone last for days, because this lasts for like 2 days or it could last 3-4 days if you barely use it. - the upper left key is such a pain in my neck (this is my own opinion).HAd the phone for a week but decided to send it back to the store(the sales rep from carphonewarehouse pretended that theres no problem with the phone, only to find out that the Menu key of e840 is really faulty on this model) -video is ok,features of photo editing is cool -the slide is ok, the keypad is easier to use compare to d840 (as my sis got the d840) -with the touch sensitive, its tolerable as you could always use the privacy setting by putting a password so even if u accidentally hit the call button,it wont dal right away. if the left key is not a problem,i could have probably kept the phone but the key not responding for more than 10sec is not tolerable. But if you more of a 'pic' or video person,u may find it a bit frustrating transferring the photos or videos to the external mem all the time. overall,i could say that maybe its a good phone,it just doesnt work for me.hope it helps

  • can anyone tell me the disadvantages between samsung D900i and E840.i don`t know which is better.thanks for responce.

  • So is the top left key problem considered as one by Samsung? My phone has this issue and I would like to know if anyone had his/her serviced. Thanks

  • hello every i have purchased this model & i must agree that it a very sexy phone to handle .colour dislplay is exellent and also its 2 megapixel camera is much better than the others 2 megapixel cameras .but has one disadvantage i.e. its camera does not have flash .In the end a must buy phone for all smarty and styleo phone lovers

  • yes this is possible!you can put a song as ring/sms tone!i bought it yesterday!!it's really nice!!!

  • @Andrea depends on ur network and where in the world you live. Any how for myself I went to my network homepage and you get detail settings sent to your fone by text.. So try your network homepage under something like default settings for messages..

  • I have had this phone for about two weeks and I have not been able to send MMS...does anyone know how to set up this feature on this phone? Please let me know. Thank u

  • @Mehul Shah yes it does. How about reading the manual? Yes mp3 tones can be used for sms/mms/broadcast.. photo taken with this fone can be used as wallpaper. you can have custom ringtones and images or video fro you contacts (fone memory only) Sorry a lot of the basic question can be found in the handbook manual..

  • i have purchased this phone 15 days ago... really a smart phone with great features one would look for... however i would like to know if one can do a conference call on this phone... if you know please explain me the process

  • Hey everyone.... I am thinking of bying E840, does anybody know if I will be able to choose a mp3 file as a ringtone or an sms sound??? Let me know please! Thanks!

  • hai anyidea on setting the caller ringtone... In musicplayer there is an option for this..but no success... any help on this....

  • i work for orange and it is still available. the ebay manager was prob lying cos he didnt have it in stock

  • Hey there =) How many messages can the phone store?? Can messages be saved on the memory card? Does it have privacy lock? Thank you!

  • Hey there :) How many messages can the phone store??? Does it have a privacy lock? Thank you!

  • Hey for those who are interested in purchasing this phone like myself.. I have been in touch with an ebay store sales manager and he told me this phone has been discontinued!! I was just about to buy it!

  • hey, i've asked so many questions! good they've been answered BUT... i have one more...can i use this phone as a mass storage device on any computer? (just like a usb stick) this phone seems to have issues and the next phone that seems cool is the W880i which doesn't have a problem and is user friendly and can take any application or game or theme but it costs double the amount!! SO maybe it's worth living with a cheap, sexy e840 that has a few faults and it's sexy but only has 2 themes to chose from

  • i've had this phone for two weeks now and it is truly a remarkable phone. the last samsung phone i had was the d410... so much has changed since then, and all for the better. well done samsung!

  • The phone is good abt its look and beauty. But some features which are expected to be there which are not available. e.g. it doesn't take the music and photos for ur caller tune and caller image from the external memory rather it accepts only from the default folders of internal phone memory, though some low end samsung phones having the facility of mapping directly to external card memory. As some have already mentioned that the left hand top softkey becomes unresponsive sometimes, the same thing also happens to me. While recharging the battery for first somedays the battery charger indicator was showing as fully charged. But now a days after charging for around 5 to 6 hours also the indicator is not showing as fully charged. My mobile is only 25 days old. Can anybody tell whether there is a fault in battery or something else. Can anybody tell me whether there is any wayout to map the external memory to the caller tune and caller images. And also if anybody has noticed or not there is a mention of flash light in the catalogue for the camera. But really it is not available with the set. Thanks.

  • Hi everybody. I wonder if this phone has voice call. Thamks

  • Have my E840 now for sometime only issue I have is that the memory card does not show up in Samsung PC Studio 3. So far no issues with any of my buttons and using firmware E840XXGD6.

  • @sofee what do you mean you can't delete a mistake? Whats wrong with the hangup C button (buttom right on slide) ? Works for me..Also if you read the manual it give's you detail there..;) Any how welcome to the E840 Crib..

  • Hi wondering if you can help. I bought my phone about a month ago My E840 rings extremely quietly. I have it on its highest volume but its so quiet... strange thing is it never used to be... any idea what i have done??

  • I got this phone today and so far so good, only problem is tho, the text messaging. I dont know which key pad to use to delete, when i make a mistake there is no button to correct it? also it only types in predictive text but i cant use this, why is this the only option? please help?

  • hey, VERY IMPORTANT! is there anyone out there who owns this phone and doesn't have this commonFAULT? Thanks

  • This phone is good, but lot of business restrictions for users. You cannot install other Java applications which you have brought earlier even though the model supports the version of MIDP! Samusung is trying to make money here again from the user to force them to buy from their website and then charge for it. Java apps can only be downloaded by GPRS or other means, you only have to stick to the applications provided by Samsung, which does not sound good for a user. This is what I heard from Samsung customer care in Singapore. I would not recommend people this phone, who would love to develop their own applications. Nokia is good in this case, they know how to keep their end customer happier. I am quite upset after I brought this phone. Rgds, Viz

  • Another thing... can anyone tell me how to keep the keypad unlocked while on a call... coz, when the call ends, first the pad needs to be unlocked and then the call can be ended...! Also, I couldnt figure out how to install new apps(or java games) by downloading these thru a PC...any ideas anyone?

  • Hi, i just bought the e840 a week ago, and it sure's a gr8 piece of work. However, THE TOP LEFT SOFTKEY, sometimes becomes unresponsive after keeping it in the pocket for a while. After, about an hour or so, it returns back to normal feather-touch. Is this a problem with just my phone, or has anyone else also experienced this ??

  • I bought this phone in London last week. It is great. I had this great theme of London as background. Now I returned to Austria and got the background of Salzburg. It is nice too but I would prefer to keep the London background. Can anybody tell me how to do this. thanks a lot ...

  • can someone out there please tell me how I can get the internet to work. I have tried inputing all the information manually, but I am still getting a DNS error. I don't have a DNS # for my other browser for AT&T. What's the problem?

  • dis is tulip....well i bought dis phone when it was just launched in india...it was brand new then.the style,i must say is ravishing.this phone has now bcum a part of my life...the pic quality is amaaaazing.and what i like the most is the phonez privacy.overall e840 is just gr8!!!!!!

  • can i knoe whether this phone has privacy lock? pls !and does the privacy lock oni lock the messages..

  • I got this phone yesterday due to an upgrade from a previous samsung. The phone looks great, and is easy to use, however i am having a few problems with it, some have already been mentioned previously. For example, the left touch screen button is very unresponsive, and requires quite a hard push to make it work. Ive heard this may be a common fault??? (rathjer annoying) Also my other problem is writing text messages. For some reason it seems rather slow, and cannot keep up with my typing. Has anyone else noticed this? My vivid messages dont seem to come up with images, only the text???? On the whole it works well, but i just find it rather slow. People have been mentioning about a london theme, mine doesnt seem to have this - can anyone tell me how to get it?

  • there is a option for either record a video till full memory or limit it for enough memory for sms messages!! sorry i dont know how long but that is all i know. the video time depends on how much memory you have.

  • if you dont like big phones this fone is not for you!! it is bigger than it looks in pictures or on tv. it may be a cm thick but boy it is big (in length ways)!!!! so you have been warned. but it is still a cool phone.by the way this particular phone has a problem with the top left touch key. this problem is with ALL phones!!! If you buy this phone in the uk it is around about �100. the back ground them in the uk is big ben, but if you do go to a different country the countrys land mark will show on the phones main wallpaper/theme. hopefully this anwsers all your questions. bye for now! ;).

  • Hello, cud anybody tell me how long is the video recrding time on the e840? I have almost made up my mind except for the video length

  • Ty Louise. I had a motorola krzr on contract for 18 months and Im sick of it and I still have 8 months left So I have to cancel my contract. There is no way Im having a moto again. As for Nokia's I really get confused on them. Same with sony ericson Samsungs are the best and easiest phone for me.

  • melisa? If you wanted a decent phone do not get the Lg as i have heard they are not a particuarly good make. Out of samsung and Lg then it would be samsung all the way. Of course if you wanted a really good brand, it would have to be nokia, as you can literally do anything to them and they'll survive it, thats the beauty of them! Never go for a motorola as they usually have bad battery and poor memory....

  • Kittu, It depends where you are buying it from? If you are in England and buying it on contract its free but every month you have to pay a certain amount each month? Hope that helped. Melisa x P.s What country are you buying it from?

  • I'm so gutted I can't get this phone untill Next week. :( Oh well few more days to decide what phone I want. Whats better L.G Shine or this phone. I did the compare tool but I need an answer from a person lol ty

  • just got the samsung E840 and everytime i ring someone it shows up saying on their phones "private number" all the time so i found where you can change so your number will show up which is under "settings"- "network"- "caller ID" then gives you 3 options, "default","hide number"and "show number, default and hide number are hightlighted but show number is not highlighted(in Grey)and will not allow me to click on to change. people have told me default option can show number on another persons phone but it wont??? how do i set it to show number when it won't let me,please help??

  • I found the sound quality to be really great. It plays just as well as my computer plays mp3s. Well really close anyways. I haven't found any problems with the touch screen, and the sliding is perfect for me. It's not too stiff or loose. As for charging, I didn't charge for 8 hours beforeing the first time using it like you're suppose to,.. so it quickly died on me. I just charged it during my sleep yesterday and I've had my phone on for a little more than 24 hours and it hasn't dropped one bar yet.

  • Really really need help pls!my E840 camera does not work at all. it looks find on screen during veiwfinding but once captured, the resolution, the colour and basically the whole image becomes so bad - pixellated, 'running' colour etc. anyone can advise on the setting? otherwise, i will have to send this one-month phone for service. thanks lot!

  • hi every body i read opinions of guys on e840 i would like 2 say u sum ting abt e840 am using this dashing denzil since 20days it was damn good the 2 mp cam turns off other cams it was like no other the battery back ups for 3days even i listen music for long time the only draw back is the slide is too tough to use 4 me i just hate it plzzzzzzzzz rate it *****

  • if you guys wanna download tunes/wallaers for e840 then you can go to gallery.mobile9.com and download any of your choice..but sorry there are no themes available..if u can fin any ls tell me..

  • I just got this phone 3 days ago and i only have one problem. For some reason when it someone calls, it vibrates once and then cues into the ringtone about a second into it. It's not set on vibrate then ring. For some reason it just cues up the ringtones a split second in when someone calls. Anyone know how to fix this or what the problem is?

  • Hi I have just bought this phone today and it is awesome. The menu is cool the camera is awesome and the phone overall is great. The misic player is cool but sound quality is poor. The one thing I do not like is that the charging takes forever. Also the ringtones are strange and there are not many themes but the ones they do have are really cool. So far this is a great phone and well, yeah. Still charging for 2 hrs.

  • hey ppl pls help me out....i msg a lot lot n a lot....is ths set msg friendly????

  • I recieved my phone in the mail yesterday and am so far very impressed. I was able to put several movies from my memory card onto this phone in .mp4 format and view them in full screen without any problems. There is a lag time if it's a big file to initially load them, but that is expected. The phone is very slim and the touch pad is very responsive. I love the music player (you can have the picture of the CD while playing your favorite artist). My only problem is the sliding mechanism is not as stiff as I would like. Seems to have just a little more nudge left to it when I push it up. But other than that, great phone so far!

  • Well,i just bought it 2 days back.I like the appearance of it.Its just mind blowing but I am not sure how much time it requires charging.Can anyone tell me abt it?If I want to hear the songs for atleast 3 hrs then I shall put it for charging how long?

  • I have both E900 and E840 with me. Below are answers to your questions. 1. The advantages of E840 compare to E900 are: - Very slim and different design. - New menu layout - Bigger screen - FM radio - Vibrate + ring simultaneously - Screen light off while charging - USB charging 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. Depends on your memory card. Video can be pause, fast forward and view full screen in landscape mode. 5. Yes. 1 hour.

  • It's very simple. Just close the slide will do.

  • I bought this E840...awesome piece...but face one problem..each time i wanna give a miss call or cut a ongoing call...i have to unlock the keypad and then press the cancel key. I m unable to find any setting of auto key lock...is there one??

  • hi everyone plz answer my problems cuz i can't decide what to buy 1. what are the adv and disadv of samsung E900 and samsung E840 2. does samsung E900 support 2gb card 3. does samsung E840 have touch pad? if so what's difference with E900 4. what's the video length for both phones 5. do both phone support voice recording and what's the length of record time? ok! thz for everyone! R*F

  • It's OK found out how to enable delivery reports.

  • I made the post below. Any how after a few days with this handset it has aLL the needs as a phone for me. Getting a high capacity battery later this week for �3.00 rated at 1000mAH.Tested the radio on 2 stations both being pirate stations and it was sweet and clear. Q)Does anyone know how to turn on delivery reports please? Having to upload your own ring tones/tones to the phone beats a lot of those crappy standard tones.2GB micro card worked on Kingston brand.Now to get a Bluetooth headset. Yes the photos from this 2Meg phone are good enough much better then my D600.. Yes E840 much better looking phone the the U600 which I was going to get in the 1st place. Any help On turn on delivery reports welcome..Only downside is this phone should have a standard 3.5mm headphone socket commmmmmmmme on Samsunggggggggggg!

  • Battery from Orange has this model No AB423643CE & Standard battery has this model No BST3148BE/STD. Did a search on web and these hand set use the same battery D830 E840 X820 U100 U600. I also found out that the X820 you can get a high power rating battery 1000mAh which would give a get deal of improvement over the standard battery with this E840 hand set..Shame I can't find one rated at 1500mAh ...I'm now off to buy my E840. ;)

  • i'm thinking of buying this phone. anything wrong with it that i should know? thanks

  • I love this phone...but does everyone elses screen turn itself off when you close it. My old d500 still showed the clock/missed calls/txts/etc even when the slide was shut!????

  • When you play music files stored from the memory card, it starts very slow and it is so lag when I skip one song to another.

  • Hi Friends, I gonna buy this fone very soon,but I wanna know whether I can instal any Anti Virouse in this fone or not.And I wanna instal Real One Plyer.Is it possible? Waitin for your help.

  • camera quality isn't the best. rates close to a 1.3 mega pixel . seriously. the screen though is magnificent. very strikingly beautiful. no doubt.

  • fone freak: I don't know if you're still reading this, but I have the exact same problem with the top left soft key. I have to press harder only on this key. wonder if this is a problem with the E840 in general...

  • is its mp3 player working flawlessly?(end of tracks aren't cut?)

  • sorry, by it i mean mp3s

  • do you have to bluetooth it to your phone or can you use usb?

  • for customized ring tones, can you just load your own you dled or do you have to purchase them from funtopia or whatever?

  • I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I have just been reading the reviews an opinions on here and was very interested to learn about the 'vivid text' function. I had seen it on the menu but ignored it as I didn't really know what it was for but OMG its ace. When you receive a text message pictures come up; e.g. a kiss x is a pair of lips, sleep is Zzzzz's and home is a pic of a house! Its 1st class. I am always impressed by little things like that though lol. I would really love to be able to download a new theme for mine. I like the 'London' theme that it came with but I'm getting a bit bored of it now. If anyone knows anywhere you can download new themes that'd be great. I'd've though amsung Fun Club would have had them but they don't.

  • Just ordered this phone along with a clear plastic case for it. Will post to let you all know what I think soon. One thing I do like about this phone is it seems to use the same charger plugins as the Samsung SYNC (my previous phone, screen cracked) so I'm happy I'll be able to use my car charger still.

  • How do you guys compare the design between this phone and U600? Which has better look?

  • Yes they do ring even when they are off if you set them to do so.

  • why? if you use bt st headset, the music player cannot run in background?

  • wheres the games ? when using bluetooth stereo headset i cannot use other functions.

  • How is everyone finding the touch sensitive keys? I haven't got a problem with them except for the top left key which takes you to the menu. Sometimes I have to press harder than when touching the other 3 keys, those 3 are very sensitive and I only have to lightly touch them and they respond, but that top left key doesn't always respond and I find I have to press down rather than just lightly touch to make it work. Is it just mine? :( I only bought it on Wednesday (from carphone warehouse in uk) and have already exchanged it once that same day as there was a scratch on it, don't fancy having to exchange it again! Thanks to all replies!

  • the fone looks like another hot samsung.. hey, um, do samsung alarm clocks ring even when the handset is off?

  • With gr8 difficulty i narrowed down on this phone finally. just got it a day back n im soo happy. thanks for replying to my previous querry. :)

  • Did buy it today in Malaysia.. Nice looking phone... to bad it havent a flash led., Haved the SE w810i before hope i dont be disepointed.

  • i just went and bought this today i think it is great xx

  • Q1) Can one assign a mp3 file as a tone for SMS OR MMS Messages? Q2) Has anyone been able to find a extended or higher rating battery for this hand-set if so where? Q3) Anyone with the Orange branded please could you tell me the power rating of your battery? By the way in UK Carphonewarehouse do all sim free hand-sets, at the moment this one goes for �100.. 2GB MicroSD is supported kingston brand worked fine tested in Carphone warehouse!!

  • the only thing i got to complain is the lack of flash on this phone (can't take nite photos!) and the video capture doesn't seem very smooth. oh and how do i select my own tunes for incoming SMS? The preloaded ones suck and i can't seem to change it... help, anyone?

  • Thank you to the person who replied about my snooze/alarm question! :) There is no flash on the camera unfortunately so it could not be used in the dark unfortunately. That and the lack of autofocus and macro mode are the only drawbacks of this phone, other than that it is a fantastic phone! I love it!

  • is there a flash on the camera? ive got th u600 and had no end of problems- on my 3rd handset in 5wks so thinking of getting this fone....what dya think!!?? x x

  • Hello i bought this phone last two weeks back. Its working fine, but the problem is that we cannot change the theme of this phone. only we can use the default black or white Also does this phone support 2GB MicroSD? I am planning to buy the memory.

  • i bought this phone yesterday. i love this phone its very practical and also has style at the same time... the touch sensitive keys make it much faster to use and all the things such as camera are of high quality. The mp3 quality rocks of can play albums, genres... just like an ipod.

  • To go snooze, I always press the volume button. (Make sure you switch ON the snooze function at the alarm setting) The middle 'i' button will completely off the alarm.

  • Hi, can anyone confirm, when using the alarm with the snooze function, what button do you press for snooze? I tried it this morning and the side volume keys and the middle 'i' button both turn the alarm off but it doesn't say whether its gone to snooze again or completely off, I set it to the max of 10 snoozes and it only went off twice so I obviously switched it off the last time instead of onto snooze again, but its not clear which is snooze and which is off?!!! Please can anyone help? Thank you.

  • Hi, got this phone couple of days ago but can't get to it in time when receiving an incoming call, keeps going onto answerphone after 30 seconds. Does anyone know how to alter the setting to give me a chance to answer it.

  • Ive got this mob on order and wondered if there was any specific details I might need to know when it 1st arrives to get the best out ov it. post a respoce plz x

  • Very nice phone but also very sensitive could have been better designed

  • Why you need Firmware update when the phone is working fine?

  • how about Firmware Updates?? VERY IMPORTANT can this be done on the phone?

  • Yes, the phone has only 2 skin to choose from. It's either Black or White. This phone using new UI (User Interface) which support 'Theme'. There's only 1 theme pre-installed in the phone. The theme display a landmark depends on which country you bought the phone. The background of the landmark will turn dark when night falls, which is quite interesting. One thing i'm not sure is whether the landmark will change if i use the phone in other country.

  • This phone has 'Ring & Vibrate' simultaneously features. Go to check out the phone and hold it in your hand. You will be amaze with the sleek look and high quality body construction.

  • anyone know how to change the themes or are they just black and white?

  • hey guys howz the loudspeaker in ths phone i mean music loudness and howz the battrey back up som one help me thankx

  • ive just brought this phone on contract for 40 pounds a month but every month you get half the money back - phones 4 u - this phone is the best - big screen - video wallpaper's its just the best i love it - if your after a new phone this is the 1 to get - trust me - thank-you

  • I bought this phone last week and plan to exchange it for a RAZR V3i. I just want a phone phone that works well. This phone is cool and very slim, but the construction seems a little clunky. I do not like the phonebook at all. Very little flexibility. Nice display and very good resolution and ring tones. I also found the quality of the phone sound itself to be lacking. It just lacks basic features that a phone at this price ought to have. I will say it is fast and the internet connection was quite good.

  • Hi, I was wondering if the directional keys are touch sensitive like the soft keys, or are the directional keys regular buttons like on the u600?

  • does this phone do the pictures in messages? i think its called vivid picture. like with the u600?

  • The phone is just awesome ! Hi Rickss, The cost in India is Rs.11000 only. The phone comes up with an inbuilt memory of 70 MB. The Memory can be expandable upto 2GB with microSD. The FM radio is there,but FM reception is not as Good as Sony Ericsson phones.But,if you are in urban area,no problem.

  • This phone is very light and the amazing 'Tempered Glass' on the front panel of this phone means less prone to get scratch.

  • Got this phone for a month now. Very satisfied. It uses same GUI as U600. Some improvements over the other previous Samsung models include: 1. Big screen and slimmest slider phone so far. 2. Battery charging while connect to PC via USB. 3. Vibrate + Ring (some Samsung phones don't have this features) 4. Very good video recording (CIF resolution) 5. Radio 6. Documents viewer including HTML. 7. New NetFront browser. 8. Full screen video playback. 9. Faster USB data transfer.

  • this mobile does have delivery reports! so go for it.......

  • Please can anyone tell me how to enable Memory card in this phone.

So please help me out to enable this memory card so that I can transfer music from laptop to the phone. Thanks in advance

  • hi all, can anyone please tell me if there is inbuilt memory in E840 or do we need to buy it seperately and the cost of E840 in India. Can you please tell me the difference between E840 and D840, does Radio FM exists in E840. please take some time and do let me know

  • if you want a samsung to go into silent mode just press # for about 3 seconds and vice versa

  • hi mitchell, i did press the volume button, but instead of it going silent, it started decreasing the ringtone volume! i have used samsung phones earlier too, and thing u mentioned always worked! but not wroking in this mobile! pls help!

  • Hey sayed... To ignore the call without rejecting it, press the volume down button located at the side of the phone.

  • Awsome phone, its has everyhting i want it and the price is reasonable.

  • does this one have the same GUI as the D900i ? does it have the same problems as d900i ? the D900i would usually mix up contact_names and their corresponding_number, does it happen here as well ? is the phone slow to respond ? can you compare the load times with the D900i ? [just a normal,slower/faster rating would do] is the screen flimsy ? does it become loose on usage ? anyone had to replace ? if so, why ?

  • hey guys, can anyone tell me if we can swap the battery of the E840 with the battery of the D900i ? [is the size of the battery on the E840, same as the one on the D900i ?] also, there is no official confirmation whether it has FM Radio . do you guys keep hitting the wrong buttons [the touch sensitive ones] all the time ? I mean, they do seem to be placed appropriately .but, what are your views ? Can you feel the numbers on the alpha numeric pad / can you at least navigate , without seeing the keypad ? how long does the battery life last ,in reading mode, on the Picsel Viewer, with the phone option enabled ? [as in, not in 'flight_mode']

  • I just bought this phone couple of days ago, and its amazing. but can any one tell me how to ignore the calls without disconnecting? like the function which all mobiles have now days-the phone stops ringing, but the caller still hears the ring! also is the any way to keep touch pad buttons active all time! they get locked even while the conversation is on! pls help

  • Hey Everybody! Love the phone! However i have a Q I hope you can help me with...? * Are there anyway of getting any more Themes and skins? Thats all i dislike about it really! Im a girl and would like to make it a bit more girly :P

  • hey this phone is sexy and i am happy that i got rid of fatty sets nokia which i hsd been using for 4 years ,this phone is slim in 2 megapixel category which no other brand offer even N72 which is a fatty set.It resulution is good and colours are awoesome.

  • I got it for rs. 10000 here in india ( appx $250)

  • Hi I got this phone and its got some great features. For anyone that didn't know it has a wicked feature - vivid text! If you go to messages - settings - text message - receiving options - select on to view in vivid mode! Its great certain words are replaced with a picture i.e. love is a heart! Its cool!! I was told it was not on the phone and it doesn't actually advertise this great feature and its not in the user manual either! Try it there are loads of preset pictures instead of words! I'm glad to say that they put allowed you to use your own songs as an alarm tone and also text message tone instead of using one of their preset ones! The camera is good sometimes blurs though which is a bit annoying. Good editing features though! Shame you can only have black or white skin! Overall its a good good phone!

  • I'm not very happy with battery... I need to charge it every second day, I'm not phoning so much, not playing, not listening music... But the battery goes down so quickly!!!

  • got the phone just a few days ago. very neat, small and sexy. some hitches i dont like about it --- too touch sensitive, gets to call people when u dont actual want to, text messaging not very friendly but may be with time will get used to it. not happy with alarm as alarm only goes off when its only on loud mode meaning i have to go to bed with my phone on loud!!

  • Hey someone said that you can have really girlie themes on the phone but there is just one set on my phone? love the phone texting is a bit hard because of the sides but you get used to that, but apart from that it is a really good phone looks great. Also can you have a wake up call alarm? i've got a 2gb memory card and it's really good, stores loads of photos.

  • Try play.com For the memory cards. Its all free shipping, only takes 3 days for small items. transflash = micro sd card Check if the phone is compatible with 1gb or 2gb. As some samsung phones can only take 1gb.

  • Got the phone 2 days ago but didnt come with memory card. Can anyone let me know where I can get one in the uk?

  • hey i jst want 2 know if there is a lock you can put on messages, pictues, phonebook and stuff. i hate when people go through my personal stuf, thanx

  • Hey! I got this phone about a week ago and love it, there was a bit of dust inside it that annoyed me at first but its ok now. It's a really good size not too small and looks so sexi. One problem that i have come across is that there is no wake up alarm you have about 4 alarms but again you have to have your phone on general to aound which is a bit annoying because when your going to bed you want it on silent but then you cant hear your alarm, is there a wake up alarm but i just haven't found it? have anyone else come across this problem? please let me know, Vikki.

  • Look; Boys and Girls; do you want to make phone calls and text your friends/business coleagues, or do you want to pilot the Space Shuttle,taking multiple Hi-Res images of Planet Earth whilst listening to your MP3 recording of the Scissor Sisters in THX surround sound and emailing God to book an appointment for tea and scones at the same time and then complain the battery doesn't last for a 15 days?

  • Hi I am a new user of samsung E 840. It has all the features (FM, Camera W/o flash, E mail and It is easy to use.

  • what is the cost of the set.and what about its sound quality

  • Went to singapore for a holiday... and ended up geting this phone... i love it heaps and i think its really worth it for the prie... only 398 sing or $300 AUS... ummm i guess wat i dont like about it is the camera... like when i try to take a photo with my friends... the camera is quite delayed... but the quality under sufficient light is pretty good.... its a little hard to type a sms la... cos its a slide... but i love the mirror shiny look of this phone... as a girl can always use it as a mirror... its really thin!!!! really really thin... no problems with it at the moment... to add ringtone u just bluetooth it to phone from computer and put it under music file. go to ur phone under files, then music right click ur music... set as ringtone..

  • You can store the music either on the memory card or the phone's internal memory. I'd advise the memory card though, as otherwise you won't have much space on the phone itself.

  • can i clarify please,can i store my mp3s in the micro sd memory,or should it be in standard/internal memory,as with other phones (eg.lg shine)?thanks

  • As with all slider phones the keys automatically lock when the slider is shut. I can't say I'm a fan of this phone. The looks aren't all that much, just a fairly standard Samsung slider. The features aren't really exciting - I'm getting bored with 2MP cameras and bog standard internal memory. With the touch controls on it, it may as well be called e900 mk2, as apart from the looks it's exactly the same

  • hi,does anyone know if there is a way to lock the keys(as the old nokias had),so that they are not pressed while in my pocket?thanks

  • Its a no doubt ausumn phone with all the latest features enabled....the sound is not that high....though u can hear if u aint a dumb.....the look is class n dosnt looks cheap as other high end handsets..try out n be appraised...

  • There're 4 colors: 1) ice silver, 2) topaz gold 3) noble blue, 4) candy pink And yep - the back cover is metal silver - in all colors.

  • Ehmmm ... I'm from Belgium. Here this phone is in the shops since last Friday. But in wich colors can you buy it? As the said it was only in the silver-blue livery. The phone on the picture is that a black one? Can someone post some more pictures of other colors? Is the top always in shiny chrome?

  • I work at Carphone warehouse (UK), we got these in stock this weekend. Its gorgeous. Feels so weel made, the soft touch face actually works(!)- I bought one on orange, and it seems fantastic so far.

  • No flash ! Too bad, won't buy it. Same for E590, no flash. I guess U600 is Ok but still not available in my country

  • in Italy available at 249E... thats e very good price

  • i got this phone yesterday on contract, its brilliant, very light and very slim, loud, you can hear it in your pocket easily, camra is excellent.. i love the differnt themes you can have,you can have them girly or ladish or just normal its great my bf is very jealous.. top phone best yet i think.. its a must have

  • This phone gives me a boner. Excellent features.

  • Hmmmm ive read loads about samsung phones, i did see a gorgeous one out recently but then i realised it didnt have a vibration alert. I hope this one does!

  • This phone is in the shops now, good little phone for the price around �179 here

  • whats the battery life on this bad boy?

  • I was looking forward to getting this phone in july as my upgrade is due, but disapointed that it is not a 5MP but a 2MP. The carphonewearhouse have even printed it WRONG they say it is 5MP in their magazine this mnth, but just go to their web site and ckeck out the phone it says 2MP boooooooooo carphonewarehouse! you really got my hopes up on this phone until i found out it was really 2 and not 5.

  • Hi! Those who said they work for carphonewarehouse and they confirmed it with Samsung, cant be right as Iwork for Phones4u and just spoke to samsung myself and they confirmed that it has only got a 2MP camera not 5MP as advertised by carphonewarehouse. And the release date hasn't been confirmed as yet for UK... Regards.

  • its a 5 megapixle get it right and yes it is really thin

  • everyone is saying that this phone is not a 5 mega pixel phone its 2. I can tell anyone intrested in this phone that it is a 5 mega pixel, as it is in the car phonewarehouse magazine and rather than get the U600, im going to wait for this one. It,s out really soon, i can,t wait.

  • first of all, it is a 2 megapixel camera, not 5. Do you guys think I should buy the u600 or wait for this phone because i'm getting a really good deal for the u600. DO you think that this phone will cost like the shine when it comes out?

  • MAN, check the design on that thing!! thats what i'm talking about.. plz send 1 over samsung:P;)

  • i like the look, but what is the camera as in carphonewarehouse say it will have a 5 mp cam but on here it is only 2? which is it?

  • It has NO 5MP camera! Only 2MP, look at:

  • omg this phone has so much rumours..1- rival for n95 with a 5mp 2-is also a rival to an undicoered upcoming lg black label series 2 3-totally new samsung software 4-samsungs key phone

  • Is there an alarm feature and flash??? I like this phone and thinking of getting it soon.... Pls advise about the above mentioned.

  • this phone should have a tv=out function. i wouldn't by this phone if there is no tv-out. if there is then i will surely buy.

  • I really hope your right 'AN' but im not hopeful as I used the u600 2 days ago and the UI was horrible. It looked incredible and was so slim I desperately wanted that phone but the UI was hard to use and very very ugly. Touch keys are still a problem, samsung havent got the right balance yet, still to sensitive. My hopes of a sexy slim slider rely on this phone now. Not getting my hopes up though, expecting same problem with buttons and UI. Oh well might just have to adjust or hope nokia or sony ericsson come out with nice thin slider.

  • It is a new UI input concept, it heard it is more user friendly

  • this is not a 5mP camera phone... pls don't be disappointed... I have used it.. it is just 2MP. wait for F700

  • I work for Carphone Warehouse....I have had confirmation from Samsung UK this is 5 MPIXEL. Id advise buy this...you would not believe how many customers are having problems with N95's

  • I really hope samsung get it right this time! Yeah sure, the phone is fantastic looking on the outside, but what about the inside? have they updated their out of date operating platform? I must admit, i'm a bit out of practice with samsung considering the last one I had was a D600, but in all fairness I was tired of the same old settings and restrictions that samsung just can't seem to master! Can anyone comment on their latest handsets? are they any better than previous models or just the same old??

  • does it have an alarm? am i being silly and not seeing it?

  • i been asking about that in most shops and the majority of ppl are saying it is a 5mp camara and some dont know

  • style of design~ state of the art perfection

  • i'm really confused is it 5 mp or 2 mp camera really hoping its a 5mp because then it will be an ideal phone and will definatly buy it if not might have to keep looking. confused so much

  • It must be a typo its def 2mp check their website it says 2mp not going to be 5mp thats for sure and you can take that to the bank.

  • Get this check out gsmarena as its says 5 megapixel camera in this months Carphone Warehouse magazine for May an its going to be available in July when i can upgrade my phone

  • does anyone know the battery life on this?

  • Lx -> a competitor of nokia N95 could only be F700 of the Samsung family.. E840 is a piece of the E-series of Samsung?!?

  • Hi amanda do u really hav zis 4ne? where u bought it 4rm?

  • Carphonewarehouse are advertising this phone in next months catologe, they are releasing it in july. The only thing is that they are saying that it is 5 meg pix. This could be true as i have heared that it a coverup release of their 5 meg pix and compete with nok n95. I have heared this on a cofrence meeting with the seniour staff of the company

  • i'm confused as well.. i'm waiting for it to come out.. has it or not??

  • its to good

  • i have just brought the samsung E840 today and u LOVE it. It is so sleek the ringtones on the phone are ok but when you download a ringtone WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW !!! What do you mean you bought this phone today? LOL it hasent been released yet!

  • i have just brought the samsung E840 today and u LOVE it. It is so sleek the ringtones on the phone are ok but when you download a ringtone WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!

  • the phone was ok,and tap.i have never see this from samsung before nice and look simple.

  • does it have touch screen?

  • Does anyone know how much this phone costs? And when it will be coming out?

  • Sorry but I dunno how old these opinions are. But i think the phone is ugly as hell. In these times you need at least a U600 to impress ppl. BUt This is really ugly and motorola lookalike.

  • OH WOW!- A black slider,never seen anything like this from Samsung before

  • I'm losing faith on RIZR Z6 for this phone

  • Samsung has done it again!!!! does anybody know the release date on this wonderful handset/???

  • A really nice looking slender phone with large clear screen. Has most of the latest features except voice activated functions. Good value for money in Europe.

  • the E840 n E830 doenst hve flash rite??

  • it is really good the features are well cool they cand do anything you want like take pictures listen to music on the go

  • I just cant understand why peoples buy Nokias when there is Samsung. Nokia phones are with so low quality materials and workmanship that it is unbelievable.Samsung is not perfect but is the best. After Samsung,... LG,Motorola,Sony Ericsson......Nokia

  • looked at this phone but decided to go for a lg shine.... the reason for this was my dissapointing d900

  • 1000000000 times better than RIZR seriously the looks are lot more sharper than the RIZR and it's touch sensitive and also better screen (motorola's screen and camera sucks comparing to other companies) wow simply... it's AMAZING!!!!!

  • Better than RIZR, i presume

  • 2 words!...simply sensational

  • every phone that has mp3 player or fm must have a loud speaker which can also be use as hand free.

  • Just would like to know if there is any built in hands-free, other than that its a beautiful phone.

  • Maybe because the internal memory is not anounced yet? and nobody asked u to "waste u'r time" on searching this... u wasted it u'rself, next time just keep u'r comments to yourself alright?

  • why you didn't mentioned the default memory in samsung E840, you simply mentioned microSD, as a viewer i want to know the reason, because i wasted my time to search this.

  • Where can I get more info on this phone?

  • Simply Beautiful...

  • WOW. Samsung....amazing!!

  • samsung rulezzzz. it is the thinnest mobile ever.

  • V3+LG chocolat=== E840

  • it thin (the thinest) slid looks like lg type of touch pad and a v3 styel key pad and good (2005) features (and i like it

  • I like the style mostly the keypad,but where's the camera features on it No autofocus,Only 2mgpx lower than older samsung mobiles like Samsung D900 with 3Mgpx.

  • Does this phone have a document viewer and a TVoutput? I think it would be extremely good for it market success!

  • E900 = LG Chocolate copy E840 = LG Shine copy

  • what about battery?it is a secret how powerfull it is?????????????????????

  • Check this phone out here LG Shine killer? You decide!

  • Nothing revolutionary in the design (maybe it will be made of metal?) but you won't find the features (fm radio, document viewer!, bluetooth with a2dp, great display and all in a small size phone). I think it will cost 300-350$ when it will be available. I am curious about the battery performance.

  • this phone is intended for those who cannot afford to buy u600 or u700.

  • What is the point of this phone? What can it do do? It seems to have less features and be lower spec. than most of the Samsung mobiles released last year :S

  • i love sammy sliders. every new stuff looks great so far.

  • ooooops!I"M THE FIRST ONE! the new slider from samsung,but the same futures? why? samsung-something new!

  • Looks like a good mobile, FM Radio too! Looks like Samsung's got the point. They're certainly on the right track. I'd like there to be more themes for the interface too, rather than just two, crappy plain ones. The D500 skins were very nice, I'd like to see those revamped. Let's hope the new range of phones have an upgraded OS. The only thing is, it looks like it has touch sensitive keys, like the E900. I wasn't too fond of these, as they can be quite fiddly and you look like a bit of a weirdo jerking your thumb up and down.
