  • This phone can read almost everything

  • I am using this phone for almost 3 years now. it is awesome. everything is great about it. very smart and very small. lovely friend to a girl. sound, clarity , camera perfect. only probelm is its memory. i would recomd this to all.

  • odlicen et

  • my bf bought me this phone 2 years ago, i almost drop it everyday but it still works like the first day. the battry is great, nice LCD, good sound quality, and.........

  • Hi Friends... I have been using this phone for the past 2 years... Advantage-good camera and video clarity for 1MP,rotate camera option to click ur own snaps,user friendly ,super screen clarity,small and stylish.. Disadvantage:-It has only 80 mb internal memory,no card slot,poor sound-pathetic mp3 player,battery back up-starts reducing after 7-8 months,tiny screen,sound on call is too less-sometimes really hard to hear the other person in noisy enviornments.... I would suggest no to go for E880 I have now sold it and bought a Nokia n73m,beautiful phone.....only issue is its accessing speed at times....but am very happy with it...

  • ive had this phone for a week now and i love it.the battery lasts long.the speaker has great bass and loud volume.and its so sleek and small.

  • i have been using this phone for 19 months,but my charger is not working,i tried to buy a new one,i am so exhausted that i haven't find any accessories of this phone,the frustration ended with my new nokia 6233. last word:buy a phone that sells accessories also.

  • i m using this model since 2006 and i can bet on this i hav nvr seen such a remarkable phone like this.

  • Bought one of these a couple of days ago. I love it. Its 1MP camera has managed to produce better quality photos than the one on Sony Ericsson W550 (1.3MP), which was the phone I had before this one. Great light on the keyboard, brilliant screen resolution, superb sound on ringtones and MP3 player. Found 2 flaws 'til now: "low" MP3 player volume is a bit too loud and I hear some strange noise during the calls, which I would define as bad quality. :p Plus, didn�t manage to get my bluetooth headset working at the first try, but I haven't tried again since then. Great phone, though!

  • i ve been using this phone for the past 6 months and the only word that i can use for this phone is AWESOME. it looks so cool that people cant take their eyes off it. the sliding thing is so cool. and the rotating camera is one functionality which i loved the most.its perfect for self portraits. i give a perfect 10 for this phone.

  • Does this phone have a speakerphone? Supposedly it does but I dont see it. let me know thanks

  • i've been using this phone for 4 months and did NOT regret buying it. it captures great pix and its size is really cute. 2 disadvantage on this (but it's ok) its bluetooth--it's version 1.1 that's why it's slow and everytime u'll transfer a files it always ask for a pin and the mp3 player--can't be minimized. that's the things that i'm not pleased w/ this fone. but it's ok it's a minimal defect for me and nothing's perfect. the lack of mem card is ok cause it has an embedded 81MB and i'm ok w/ it. for me this fone is 9/10. it is very compact and i love its sliding mechanism--so smooth.

  • Does anyone know if there is a home charger that is campatiable with the SGH E880? I lost mine and need a charger. Thanks,

  • can this phone read mp4 files? thanks!!!

  • Just bought the phone. Looks are amazing. I was told that D500 and D600 will be discontinued soon (not sure if that is true). Anyway I was completely bowled by its cool looks. The camers is pretty decent and 90MB mem is quite sufficeient (at least for me). And what else....MP3 clarity is too kool. Hey can anyone tell me how to view videos in full screen - that's one thing I could not figure out. Probably one thing which would have made it even better is a 1.3 MP camera and FM. Anyway, I think its worth the price. Thanks

  • Samsung E880 is an amazing phone.With all latest feature it is of great small cute looking phone.The camera clarity is fine.The color resolution is awsome and better than many more expensive phone .It has a great speaker with inbuilt mp3.o

  • will somebody please tell me how to save phone numbers using the phone memory. i have tried everything in saving numbers but it wont save through the phone memory. it always goes to the sim memory. please help me, anybody. :( i am running out os sim memory. thanks.

  • i got my e880 phone a couple of days ago, fantastic! i got an e810 before and my reason for buying this type is because of the bluetooth conectivity and the mp3. but unfortunately, the company where i bought this (in England) ripped me off. when i received the box, the seal was broken and the WEB 150 bluetooth wireless headset (clearly printed outside the box)was gone. great phone - bad mobile company. samsung should not distribute products like this to these companies. anyway hooray for this phone and more to samsung company.

  • hi. i just got the samsung e880. people might be bashing it. too me it's because they don't realize that it is so awesome! the pictures are clearer than some other phones that say they're 1.3 . the options and colors are awesome. this is a great phone with a reasonable price. i recommend it.

  • this phone is really. bad... i regret buying it.. i cant even run java 2.0 based games n applications on it... i think all the samsung phones r same... u can't add ne applications even though it supports java... bad really bad phone... dont buy it...

  • sinece i just bought this phone and i found that all the features are same Like samsung D500,E730,E530,.what makes this phone better from all these? and if samsung can not make new phones than they should not advertise any new Mobiles.they shold more focus on new features rather than looks.Thanks!!

  • you can use any bluetooth adapter to transfer from pc to phone

  • does this phone have a speakerphone?

  • Problem within the Font style: 1. Press the (*) button from your keypad until it shows (P) sign on the screen. 2. Again press the (*) button from your key pad i.e (P*). 3. Now start pressing the (#) button in a Continuous manner. i.e (P*#########......endless) and see the results..

  • Can someone tell me how to transfer images to my pc by data cable? Which software i shud be using? and where do i get the data cable?

  • In case U get image Upside down...click the top arrow which is on the left side. {alternatively used for Volume control} The Top arrow is to change image upsid down.. the bottom arrow for flipping mirror images....

  • Can someone help me and tell me to format the batery I must make 3 recharges for 12 hours? And another question, how many days keep you the battery? TVM

  • The phone is great, but i have one problem. I tahe the phone with headseat bluetooth, and i can't actyivate it. A activate my bluetooth i have made bluetooth transfer with my friends. Can anyone help me. Thx.

  • wolverine, For the image upsidedown problem, use the up/down arrow on the left side of teh phone(volume control) and adjust to bring back the image to the desired position

  • A just got this phone and is super cool, but a have a little problem. When a try to get a photo the imagine is up-side-down. Can someone help me.

  • Has anyone experienced laggy loading with this phone? The only thing i did most with it is take a lot of pix. Will that have been the cause of this problem? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?

  • does this have radio options????

  • To illestlover, E880 is exactly the same as E720. Only difference is the design.

  • this one has alarm systems in it - in fact, it has three options of alarm.

  • hello, i currently own a samsung E720. this phone has everything you need except a speakerphone function. i'd like to purchase the E880 but if it doesn't have an alarm and simple functions like that, it makes no sense at all to me. when i read reviews and check the specs of the E880 it sees to have extremely minimal organization functions. can you mail me n let me know what the hell are the basic/standard functions (besides the camera & mp3 player). Thanks.

  • I just got this phone three weeks ago and I love my phone this phone doesnt have a low volume it works just fine.

  • how low is the listening volume? From my experience, samsung's listening volume is one of the loudest. It's like the speaker is on when I am at my room at night. I am considering buying this phone, so i am wondering if this one got a low listening volume.

  • highly recommended

  • listening volume is very less,have to stick it in my ear

  • quality phone!!!! one of the best i ever had. a crazy but sexy design and small. so easy to operate and the menus are easy to access. hope samsung make a better version of it soon.

  • absolutely fantastic

  • i love all the feature except that it does not have a slot for external memory, but it doesnt hurt.

  • great

  • this phone is absolutely great way better than d500 for its compact size newer than any other samsung phones

  • bad phone .no large screen [small screen] no memory card no wav ringtones and no wide screen video experince and no amr ringtones also.very baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

  • Looks like a smaller but slightly downgraded d500. also with worse design

  • it oni shows black screen, probably or saving battery consumption. juz hold the volume keys to light up the background, its easy

  • can somebody tell me if this phone shows time or something in standby mode..?..having only a black screen...thanks.

  • Cam anyone successfully transfer any java game through bluetooth to the phone. Can u teach me? Thx

  • i liked all the feature except that it does not have a slot for memory card.iwould definately buy it if it have that thing extra.

  • I went to the dealer to ask if this phone is available and a guy there offered me free e880 or e730 with a service plan. Which phone should I get? e730 looked nicer to me.

  • Great phone, I've bought it today and it really exploded to my eyes. The screen definition is excellent, and ergonomics. However, I have one problem with the camera to take pic. When the cam is turned to me, I see my self on the cam but there's a mirror effect on the image. And when the cam is turned to behind, there's still the mirror effect and the image is tilted on the left. Is someone know how to fix this problem ? thank you.

  • This phone is out now.

  • uhm is it 86mm when the slider is open or when the slider is closed??

  • This is da kwlest fone arud can't wait till it's out in da shops my m8s ill be so jealous! i tink da design is kwl n it's got nearly everyting u can tink of 2 ave on a fone
