Samsung F330 - User Reviews

  • Buddy your phone's life spawn is over... I had same problem with my SGH-L700 few months before. Now cant even charge it. Other words, it's dead. And yours too I guess.

  • what? your mad........

  • Problem receiving SMS. Slow user interface. Poor battery performance. Stopped working for no reason after 15 months.

  • is it a touch screen

  • is there anyone can help? there is a bug in my samsung f330 when I plug the usb data cable end unplug it, the micro sd can't be read in the phone..

  • why Samsung Sgh-F338 is not here....?

  • This phone is the worst piece of machinery o\I have ever ome into contact with. COMPLETE RIPOFF, THIS SHOULD BE COSTING $200!! All you are paying for is a fancy design. Samsung has no experience in making phones and this shows, so many bugs and glitches and irritating things. It cant even call properly. A phone that cant call properly. Utterly hate this worthless paperweight. Seriously, save yourself the money and go buy a nokia 5165 or something. It would work better than this annoying thing. PEOPLE WHO LOVE THIS PHONE DONT OWN IT OR HAVENT USED IT FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES.

  • just want to ask , this phone got WiFi features or any WiFi software ? thanks :)

  • i also the same problem about the messages that they are not delivered

  • how i delete the recent recipients numbers from the phone

  • When am phoning and I receive an sms how I can read it so I do not cut off my call Thanks

  • The phone doesn't have LED flash. Source:

  • It works,maybe there is a difference in the softwares.Try to search in Google.

  • Tried it but it isn't woking.

  • At first sorry for my english,im from Bulgaria and i got this phone.There is a way to install software via USB cable.Download from internet any software,it will be probably in .JAR format,to install it you must have also the .JAD format of the same file.Download JADMaker from Enet and open it,then just drag the .JAR file to the JADMaker program and it will make file with the same name like the first one but it will ends on .JAD.After that connect you phone to your PC via USB and open the phone memory and just create a folder "Games",open it and paste the two files(***.JAD & ***.JAR) in it.Now you have to dial by your phone *#6984125*#,select the fourth option "Internals",the master key is *#9072641*#,select the seventh option "Storage settings" and select 1,then 2 and 8 option.Reboot your phone and you will have this software installed in folder "Games and more".It looks difficult but it isnt.

  • good phone.... i hav used so many phones of nokia,lg,motorola.... but now i am using f330 samsung..its a good phone...superb menu option...its hav nokia 7610 menu function style..it is very esy to use ..superb sound clarity but...less sound for loud speaker..but head phones working great..

  • it doesnt have a led flash??? so this means what??? Camera Primary 2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels, LED flash (gsmarena specs..)

  • i bought this "phone" a year ago, and it's sucks. the loudspeaker it's not loud, and the screen scratched easily, and there's no way you can install your java from computer, it works OTA only.

  • how to install games in this phond. i have try to use this number6984125 it doesnt work.

  • i just kinda hate this phone. ive been using it since year ago. and for me , as far as im concerned i bought the phone brand that stated "live loud music" , but the speaker isnt that loud. Many times i couldnt receive my massage , unless i have to off it and on it back or even some of the msg will be delivered 2 or 3 days after. It has no FLASH!. and suprisingly , i havent found any application that suits for this phone . I wanted so much to set other theme for this phone.

  • I realy Love this phone!!! it�s perfect that you can take i picture at the same time that, you see the screen :)

  • WiFi program included???

  • don buy sliding phone....if u really like the design, protect the slider well. the cable inside can easily get spoiled.

  • I just got it 2 days ago, the F330 is a slight beauty on hand. In-spite of it's extra-sensitive navigation key, but I'm also can't find any flash led like its spec was written on the phone spec in this site. But overall, it's very satisfying Cellphone. My score for SGH-F330 is 8 of 10.

  • Can use 4gb. Goes smooth!!

  • Can we use 4gb memory card on this phone?

  • i love its stylish design. its design and everything.

  • i love f330 because it is the greatest phone

  • Still love it though..

  • i agree

  • I've had my F330 for about 3 months now and it's really good. I would suggest it to anyone who asks me. Not only is the phone great but very easy to use and so is the computer program easy to use.

  • Using for 7 months now. Gr8 sound quality(earphone only!!!). Mine has no prob with batt. It can play more than 10 hrs on online mode(MP3) or can watch 2 movies back to back(online). The only prob is its color is not durable. When I bought some color was already gone. But overall the phone ROCKS!!!

  • had this phone for a year now. and these are the things which bugs me 1. usage of java games or apps will cause the full battery to go flat in 20 mins. 2. usage of FM radio or MP3 will cause a full battery to go flat in less than 2 hours. 3. the 2MP camera is very mediocre 4. if you use MP3 as your ringing tone it will copy the file (if it is in the memory card) to the phone memory which is kinda stupid cuz then you will have duplicate files. 5. the inbox lags BIG time. not much use for heavy sms'er cuz its super annoying. other than that its good for light users.

  • can this phone use 3,5mm headphone ?

  • why the battery gets drained up even we dont speak also.......i have put full charge but yet it gets drained up withion few hours...

  • sure or nt? swt..

  • The phone looks nice but the main problem is that it gets damaged quickly.

  • I have this phone for about almost a year and this phone sucks. I don't like how the details about this phone. Everytime I put this phone in my pocket within 1 hour the battery overheats, and the phone goes black out.

  • can someone help me and tell me how to change the ringtone for the messages cause I dont have any idea where to go in the menu? thanks

  • i agree with everyone saying f330 is a very beautiful mobile , even the colors f330 have, black matched with red color, just like my f330 then f33o black color matched with white it's also nice although i ;aso have a motorola mobile, v8 razr gen.2 v8 even got good looks and goodies like f330 why i love v8 and f330 ... and i won't ever go crazy for nokia mobiles... haha ) expext me to...what a poor nokia, just can't feet samsung mobile fashion design and if the nokia mobiles phones would be a copycat of samsung they would just be ashames.,insulted by samsung...nokia has no korea made mobiles,.,but they have imitations just from a 168 cheap,divisoria shop....haha for all nokia users ,stop giving bad comments to all samsung mobile...they are the better and greater ever,when it comes to fashion design for mobiles...go crazy ovwer samsung f330???why not,get one from an authorized samsung shop or cyberzone? samusung mobiles deserved to be loved,that's why they have fashion lovable images unlike the nokia nseries,still unlikable and forever???would't be unlikable morely for me....

  • does this mobile have somewhere u can go in the menu to change ringtones and msg tones? a really complicated phone to use

  • What can I say about this phone I bought 3 weeks ago?Well,if you don't mind getting a shade under 2 hours battery life on a full charge,then there couldn't possibly be a better phone for you.Also to,if music is the reason for buying this phone,then be prepared to be hugely disappointed.While I will say the music is crystal clear,the volume is downright brutal&believe me,that's being kind. Other than that,everything else is just merely decent.From the camera to the painfully over sensitive buttons,I just could not recommemnd this phone at all.Nothing against Samsung,but I am just being honest.That's all.

  • this phone is fabulous i got it as a give and there is no regrets

  • since i used this hp i never encounter problem like that. mine is okay.... hope no other problem

  • How's the battery life for this phone?

  • I really love the design of this phone, i'm thinking of buying it but when i read the negative reviews makes me wonder whether i should buy it or not. But i only want to use it as a modem and for video calls. Need to know whether there is any comments from people who had used this phone as a modem. How was it?

  • same comment...i cnt received msg tooo....i dnt know if it is a network problem or simcard problem or maybe this samsung phone problem....we bought this phone for us to communicate with others but we cnt coz of that stupid problem!!!!!!!!!!!!shit!!!!!!!!!

  • hi guys i was wondering if anyone knows whether the flex on this phone is strong as my u700 was weak enough to break in a day of purchase like should i be careful with sliding etc. answer asap please as i have it now and want to know quickly thanks in advance

  • The problem is not coz your cell phone... The problem is on your sim card... One time I got that problem n I call the customer service of my sim card... Then all my problems done

  • i m facing the same prob too.... i cant receive my friend's msg unless i restart my phone! damn... sometimes there were 13 msg i received... haihx... any1...can tell me how to avoid this prob??

  • Hi, i just want to point out to everyone that this phone is not touchscreen but touch sesitive!!! this fone is fine. nothing wrong with it, just avoid people pushing on the top touch buttons too hard. ok.

  • i had this phone and as a design is very nice but dont buy this phone i had it for 3 months and the signal falls everytime u call someone. and falls even when u enter in te menu etc. and i am not the only one who had this problem

  • flash means as a flash player to see online movs or music, not a flash on the camera

  • No this phone does not have a flash, im sure you would see the light on the back if it did, you should maybe read more into this phone or in your case any phones before purchasing them!!!

  • this freakng phone is so gay. if u drop it like just once u will stop receivng text msgs and phone calls. and sometimes it takes forever to send a message. u keep having to try again, try again , try again. and its a touchscreen that does watever it wants sometimes. do not waste ur money and buy this phone. im serious.

  • so this phone is touchscreen? Im torn because ive had a samsung x460 for the last four years and I love it to bits its the best phone ive ever had, cant believe its still working after all ive put it through. So i want to get another samsung. BUT... i have 3 friends with new samsungs (each different models, one a u700 one a navigator and one im not sure) and they hate them, partly cos of the touch screen i think, so im thinking i should avoid the new samsungs? so do people recommend it?

  • y when iie download game frm internet den iie put inside dha phone den iie cannt plae?

  • I have no Problem!!! its a nice phone.. My phone is color Red ... it means WAR ... NO FLASH ... Damn!

  • i tried vdeo call..awesome..but the privacy lock of this phone sumtymes doesnt work..i wonder y..i locked the msg folder, but sumtymes i can access it witout requiring any pssword..urmm..i need an explanation..n 1 mo thg, it doesnt hav themes 2 used..

  • i hv the same problem. sometimes cant receive messages from my friends.

  • HMM, I have the same problem too. xD

  • does anyone try the video call function? IS that good

  • At times my F330 can't receive any msges. My friends have been complaing why didnt I reply them when I didnt receive anything. Im sure this isnt a network problem as I've only encounter this problem after I've changed to this phone. Anyone encountering the same thing too?

  • I havent got this phone yet but it looks cool.when i first saw it i was in love then i read some of the feed back now im having secccond thoughts especialy comparing it with the F400

  • Hi. Currently using this phone for like 2 weeks or so. Not that bad; only that i can't seems to install java games in it. Best music quality! Other functions rated average ah.

  • no need to ask cuz install any java on Samsung handset is the hardest thing you cannot copy jad and jar on internal or external memory and then Install via the menu like the way you do on any other brands!

  • why we can't play any game on this phone?

  • im stuck on buyin tis phone or the f400 cause i dont want to spend a lot of money on a phone nd ten end up buyin another phone. both phones seem ok to me. although the f400 looks better nd have better functions but the main thing is only for callin nd texting. which phone shld i spend the next 2 years with?

  • where can i find the flash? does this really have a flash or no? but it has dual camera, front & rear. so, i think it's cool and d price is ryt.

  • Don't buy this phone, i mean SGH-F330, i buy a new one but can not play any game on this phone. although this is only unconvinced thing on this phone but i feel not so good because i like playing game! Ah, and the battery is low too! On resume, i advice that you must not buy this F330! Regards!

  • yes....i totalli agree to ur review...im using tis phone too...and it realli sux...but..wat hp are u using now..im thinking of getting a w980....duno will it be beta?

  • The touch buttons seem annoying, but i still want this phone, and if i buy this phone with a warranty im covered as well as being able to trade it in. I'm considering the U900, but only this one because the other is too expensive. These comments have made me have second thoughts, but they have pointed me in the right direction. I suppose to anyone, its a buy (with a warranty), try, then either turn it in or keep is really the way to go. Thanks to everyone this has really helped.

  • i HAD this phone, i used it for a week and it was good then it stopped responding to things. seriously dont buy this phone buy the nokia 6500 slide its a good phone.

  • Can someone tell me in what resolution the video records ?

  • does anyone know the secret code to install java?

  • I've had this phone for about 6 months now. The look is very sleek and it has some nice features. One thing I really appreciated is when you are programing the phone for messaging, pic messaging etc, it already has presets for most major phone carriers. I'm not clueless, but I'm not master about these things either. Still trying to get the web to work, but that's my fault, not the phone's. I love the music player. You can organize you songs by various methods and make playlists etc. I pair it with the motorola bluetooth headphones and I can listen to my tunes and answer my calls anywhere. I nitpick about the slight details of any phone. One bad thing about this phone is that you cannot assign a specific message tone to each phonebook listing. It's one noise for everyone. I personally like to hear if I'm getting a message from Bobby or Suzie. You get used to the touch controls. They're not bad at all. However, if you ever have to call an automated phone system, you have to unlock the keypad during the call to punch numbers to navigate your call. Then when you put the phone back to your ear, you run a high risk of disconnecting the call with your face and the touch sensor buttons. This can be REALLY frustrating when you've been waiting 15 minutes already.

  • OMG why can't samsung make a phone as good looking as this one that works good?(except U900 SOUL):)

  • Can't you just slide the phone closed to end a call?

  • the touch buttons arent as annoying as people say... you do get used to it and i think overall the phone is decent cause it comes with a headphone jack and the design is nice... there is 1 slight problem though - when you're talking to someone the touch pad locks so you'll have to unlock then disconnect the call ... i guess its reasonable because u dont want to slightly touch the pad and disconnect your call i give it a 7.5 out of 10

  • it takes some getting use to but this phone is fab - the touch features is ocnvenient and so this week, anything else is so yesterday...i love the photo edit feature and the quality of the photos and videos is also good for money spent. i was a die hard nokia fan forever until this phone and for me, definitely a risk worthy shouting about. cheers. joy.

  • I bought this phone and although the camera isnt that great and stuff, its a really comfortable, afforable and nice looking phone, anyone who is thinking of buying this you dont need to think further, its everything you want and better :) -Hope this helps

  • Why do most of the comments say this phone is bad? Is it really that bad or are people trying to make others dislike it?

  • I am not used to some buttons being touch-sensitive and some buttons being the normal type, (depression types). Being said, it can be difficult to use at first, as one will have to get use to the sensitivity of the touch-sensitive buttons. Also, there is the pressing the buttons by mistake far too easily. I always press the end-call button by mistake, as it is located too near the screen. Also, the play-list function is crap. It is not easy to create a playlist. SE phones and even Nokia Music Express series are better. Believe me, I anticipated this phone, and after I got it, used it for 4 days, I sold it away. Even the SE J120 without many functions at all is a better phone with just it's radio for entertainment on the go. Just my opinions. Cheers!

  • my goodness!!! wat kind of phone is this!!! it's really a disaster!!! i planned to buy dis phone after a month, and now i totally changed my mind...thanks for the comments!!!

  • confuse to buy... whether i should buy or noy coz, i love the design

  • does this phone really have the flash camera? cause i wanna get it and i dont see it

  • Hi, I bought my F330 a month and a half ago and I regret buying it. As many opinions, the right key can't be changed, and always going online. It lock by itself and the touchscreen isn't friendly. Poor in themes. I love my MOTO!!!!!

  • where place you buy the phone..? I also use phone samsung brand..but not this model.. look interesting to get this phone .. For me , i thing samsung brand very Quality & toughfull..

  • i have this phone now, so far so good but when i have 150+ msgs in my inbox, things are getting slow...also sometimes im unable to receive messages from my friends, i have to restart my phone to receive them, anyone knows how to fix this?

  • I bought this phone two days ago and this is the weakest phone i have ever purchased. After i got it the first day, on the 4key navigation key set, the lower button didnt respond when i touched it. I went to the shop to get a new, which they exchanged. After i got the new one, the phones display went out. The screen just turned black. The touch key buttons are annoying for people like me who need fast response. Today, I finally had enough and the phone shop people agreed to let me changed me to another model(U600) Im an all SAMSUNG person, but i dont recommend this phone.!

  • I love this phone.. Its good quality and its good looking (Y) I would recommened this phone for anyone (nearly)

  • thers the Samsung F400 it looks great, with a good camera, and the nice thing about it is the Bang & Olufsen speakers something amazing nd u wont find in other phones..

  • bnvbkkn

  • I wanna get the soul, it looks sooo damn nice... but am thinking five times about it, since the nicer something looks, it might not live up to it.

  • i've had problems with not recieving the smses, i had to either reboot the phone or turn it off, take out the batt, take out the sim, then put them all together and switch it on, then i'd be gettin like 10 smses in one shot. plus, i notice that the smses are automatically saved in my simcard, which i dont mind but seriously, only 20 smses are allowed in my sim? plus when its filled to the max (only 20), all incoming smses wont be coming in, i have to manually transfer (if i wanna save them) the sms from sim to phone, which is such a damn hassle. yeah, i got cheated by the look as well.

  • i also cant receive my sms-es? how to solve it?

  • this phone...ive bought it for 3 mths++ and the features arent too great...altho it is a music phone, the quality of the sound is poor..not loud and no manual settings for the sound..camera aint too great, stylish 10/10, functions 4/10, sound 3/10 (considering that it is a music phone...the Olsen sound crap is crap..) and sometimes i dont get my sms-es, and sometimes calls dont get thru, this phone is actually terrible....i kinda regretted buying this phone...sigh.....after 3 mths of using it...suggest that interested buyers..forget it..or you will regret..unless you are the type who likes style only..btw you cant put java apps in...you have to download directly from the website from the phone...thats the crap system samsung installed..i have no idea yet how to unlock this phone to allow it to put games in..battery life...SUCKS TO THE MAX.....all my oppinions are based on 3 mths of usage..18 hrs of battery lifetime is BullShiet IMHO...i only used the phone 2 days after charging max. listened to songs for two hours..and the next day...the batt died on me in the afternoon... )= i would say...big time failure...samsubng didnt deliver on promsies )= really regret buying it...too influenced by the appearance T-T

  • how can i store msg straight to phone and not sim card. its like so troublesome to delete it as sim card has limited storage capacity. someone please help me.

  • I've been using this phone for 4 months now, and i totally REGRET it. not only is the interface extremely user UNfriendly (right internet button keeps trying to connect to the internet accidentaly with no 'back' button, keeps vibrating when the phone's out of battery - this doesnt help at all in preserving whatever's left of the battery life), sometimes i randomly cant even get smses sent to me and i have no idea why. If my SIM is inserted in another phone, i will receive them. This is very frustrating cause it happens without warning (no 'messages full' warning, whatsoever.) And the loudspeaker, in my opinion, is not loud at all. I'm getting a new phone this week.

  • When I close my phone it use to lock but now it wont lock what did i do or what do i need to do to make it lock when i close the slider all the buttons still work when I close the slider HELP!!!

  • I'm planning to buy this phone because it is a music phone...is the audio quality great? and the speakers...does it produce loud sounds with extreme quality??

  • Osam: yup, u can save the video directly to your memory card.

  • Genevieve: hi, have u checked ur memory card? i've noticed that there's a slot in ur memory card that has a set amount of space for smses recieved, its 20, but the downside of it is that apparently, when u receive an sms , it will directly go and save to ur memory card. so, if u used up the 20 spaces, i think the sms cannot be recieved. im still perplexed and trying to figure this out, especially on how to link the sms to be able to directly go to my hp's internal memory. its really a hassle always having to transfer the sms from my memory card to the phone. anyone else has any idea on how to work this out?

  • Hi can anybody say whether we can save videos directly to memory card while recording videos plz reply as soon as possible coz i m going to buy this cell anybody help...... thanks in advance......

  • how about the price? how much is it? thank you..

  • Got this phone for about 3 weeks now. The touch sensitive keypad is so neat! Could've been more fun if I could install jad/jar files via usb/bluetooth. Though for a music lover like me, I'd have to say that the batt life is a bit short.

  • I just got this phone a few weeks ago. Have just worked out a few things here and there, overall pretty cool features. However, is the Samsung F330 able to play any games? I've none in mind. It says its java supported but what file extension (.sis, .?) does it actually support? I downloaded a couple of java games but when trying to run them, the files are not supported. Can anyone help? and if there are games for this phone, anyone know any place i can download them from (pay/or free)? thanks!

  • does samsung phone support .sis files?

  • I need greek manual..... Thanks a lot..

  • thanks top gal! it was usefull information for me!

  • this phone has poor battery life. i have to charge my phone at the end of each day. i hardly use the phone for fm radio/mp3. i only use it for texting and 4-5 short calls a day.

  • Ha sthis phone the 'vivid'option? 3d smileys when somone smses you ? for example,someone typs car to you that you see a car(iccon)

  • I had this phone for about two weeks now, and so far I'm satisfied with its performance. - camera works neatly... picture quality is excellent considering that it's just a phone with a camera and not some high end digicam. - music player is ok and the sound using the loudspeaker is nice. - the touch pad and touch keys are sensitive though, It's a bit annoying at first but you'll get to adjust and have the feel of it after a few days of use and things will be ok - battery surely last long as advertised (standby and talktime) - internet connectivity works smoothly. I use it as a modem for my laptop with a minimum of 5 hours continuous internet connection per day and I don't have any problems encountered. - there's only 1 minor thing that didn't meet my expectation and that is, it only have two skins available to choose from. I've been searching the web for additional skins for download but sadly haven't found one yet. I hope there will be soon. - overall, I'm giving this phone a rating of 9 out of 10.

  • @F4ps To set an mp3 as an message alert you follow these steps: 1. Settings > Phone Profiles> 2. select the Profile you use daily. I use Normal so let's work with Normal 3. select Options for the profile Normal, then Edit, then with the LEFT keypad go to mesages, then scroll down to the 2nd option, message alert tone, then Options, then Change,then Use my alert tone, then select the mp3 you want to use, then SAVE This is it

  • i have this phone he is cool but you can't install java without wap

  • umm hi. jus got a few questions. are tha sensor buttons on the d-pad sensetive? is the fone loud? is tha cam gud? both of them?and how about the slider. thank uuuuu. xxxx

  • how do you set mp3 tones for sms alert? how to download games via computer?pls reply

  • Changing or selecting ringtones in this handset was a real challenge! I had to actually open the manual book to change my ringtone!! bad interface!

  • to unlock java install type *#9998*4678255# then install your java jad files

  • Re:"umm..i got this feeling that i got a fake..." 1.Some models doesnt't have that logo under the speaker (I think that it depends on your operator). 2. You can't put java into your phone via USB or Bluetooth. It's only possible via WAP. That's typical for Samsung phones. And yeah, that's very irritating :/. I'm pretty sure that you have original Samsung.

  • well i see most of u have this phone~ when u bought it did it come with the 512mb memory card? coz mine didnt

  • umm..i got this feeling that i got a fake one of this phone because u see on the picture from this web under the speaker thing it has this circle music note thing but mine doesnt... and the java games i put into my phone says "unsupported file type" plz help!!~

  • * 2.0 Mega-pixel / Photo Flash / Panorama Shot * Supported Video Format: MPEG4/ H.263 * Supported Music Format: MP3/ AAC/ AAC+/ e-AAC+/ WMA * Supported Message Format: SMS/ MMS/ Email * Supported Ringtones Format: MP3/ AAC/ AAC+/ e-AAC+/ WMA * FM Radio * Video Recorder * Video Streaming * Voice Recorder * Music Player * Phone Internal Memory: 30MB * Support MicroSD Card * Support Chinese * Bluetooth * version 2.0 * USB / mini-USB Support * JAVA MIDP 2.0 * SyncML (Local) * Supports Theme * GPRS * Browser

  • i just bought this phone and its kinda cool :)

  • im interested in theis phone but i have some enquiries does this phone uses a samsung type hole for headphones or just a typical 3.5mm jack like i450? btw, does this phone support themes?? pls help me tq

  • phone is user friendly and the thing about the cam that sucks is that it does not have a flash for lighting. sounds great, interface is good and phone is very stylish. =)

  • is there anyway to turn off the 3G function?

  • is there a dictionary function for text messaging in this phone? like those in nokia or sony ericsson phone. if have how do i activate it?

  • hey jus wanna ask... can the fone hang any hp accessories....???

  • about the navigation button, yes i feel it is bit sensitive,just a light touch you can accidentally open a program or folder, but u can get use to it. The quick keypad lock also helps with this problem. Another thing, I have no problem scrolling, just press once for long & it scrolls automatically.

  • i just bought dis phone, Love it.. yes can use ringtone for sms alert. first 2 seconds of the ringtones is not loud. I think they intentionally do this to make sure u don't get heart attack.Like some nokia phone you'll hear beep sound first b4 ringing

  • bought this phone last week. works well, no problem at all. only needs couple of days to familiarize with the sensitive touch screen button. the only problem was with the original CD, couldnt be read and couldnt download the PC Mobile software. but anyway can find one for free fm the internet. The speaker is loud and clear (this phone specialize in multimedia/music player), only the camera kinda suck. value for money.

  • yes the phone can ring and vibrate at the same time...and i think u can use mp3 for sms tone but im not 100% sure

  • a question to the very few ppl that have this phone, are you able to set mp3 as sms tone and can the phone vibrate and play melody at the same time?

  • hello but how can i copy the files into the folder call game �can u plis make a video in youtube

  • The phone can play Java if you get the Java files into the folder for the games.

  • when my phone rings the ringtone is soft for like the first second and then it suddenly gets louder to the volume its actually set at...is anyone else having this problem?

  • you gotta go to the samsung website to know the real features of the phones..

  • well, i really love this phone for it has a music recognition.. guys you gotta have this phone.unlike nokia phones it is more fashionable phone..

  • this phone seems pretty cool but some people say the function sucks so i was wondering: is the speaker loud on this? can i install themes and software to the phone?

  • >>>Can this phone play mp4 & 3gp video? yes, but only a crappy 176x144, not 320x240, pointless

  • Hi, the samsung phones are so nice, but i don�t like the software, it�s so boring, just view the menu on the video. tnks

  • Are the arrow keys heat sensored? but if it is its still hard to use the arrow keys because they dont respond when i touch it...is it just my phone or is it to evryone? and by the way i just bought my fone today

  • can the message tone of this fone can be mp3 tones?

  • this phone does not have flash, it says here it does but it does not, pls fix that problem asap. its really a disappointment how samsung phones cant match competition's multimedia abilities but they are stylish tho, not a long-term phone i suggest, it cant even play java games which is pretty sad assuming that phones coming out in 08 like this will come with everything

  • Ok just to answer some of the questions: I'm sorry to say but I dont think it supports java games. It doesn't have games on its own, quite a disappointment. My friend sent me a flash game though, it works. As for themes, i've tried receiving lots of themes from my friends who are using sony ericsson but the phone does not support the file type. There is also no option to install the theme. As for the music player, its alright, but i have issues with the sound. i would have thought that it being a music phone, the sound would be louder, but the max is still much softer than sony ericsson walkman phones (even normal SE phones are louder). So i would say if you want to get a music phone, go for sony ericsson, not this. But if you want a cool design, then by all means go ahead.

  • Do you know if this phone is available in the UK yet?? Really like it but don't want to wait months before getting one, no other phones on the market I like at moment apart from the Nokia 6500 slide but not sure if I will take the plunge on that one! Pelase advise

  • can we download games to the phone?

  • Can this phone play mp4 & 3gp video? Why don't Samsung give 16m colour diplay?

  • hi all.just bought one yesterday...n tried it out this morning.the phone n features look good.however, i have a problem with the naviagation buttons.i think there's something wrong with the sensitivity of the buttons.had a hard time scrolling thru menus.dunno if this is standard or did i get a faulty phone.will be dropping by the service ctr for rectification.anyone else has the same problems?

  • Don�t buy this phone!!! Thats all i can say!

  • has anyone had any problems with picture messaging when sending and recieving.mines says failed and define network settings. I am with tmobile in north america.

  • can this phone set mp3 songs as sms tone?

  • does this phone have themes to be set?also, can this phone play music while doing other things?and how sensitive are the keys?even the number pad?

  • can anyone tell me about the sensitive touch buttons on the front?

  • 4 people who have this fone does the sensor buttons on the d-pad work properly?? and how sensetive r they?

  • you have to apply for video call and pay about $15 each month or something.

  • the post about the two cameras, i think this phone has video calling which explains the small camera in the front, the lg shine has it and some of the nokia phones also have it for video calling.

  • @delboa Can that phone you bought work in our country? And how much did u buy it? And the most important thing, how's the music player?

  • just bought this phone about 16days ago...when i was in singapore.... like it!!! even the first time i didn't get used to it..but now..no problem with me.. and the sound quality good enough.. the camera...hmmm 2mp not so bad but no flash.. yes this phone has 2 cameras..one in front and onbe in the back. the front camera not so bad too.. good enough for the price..

  • the video call does not work it shows unavailable when you select it

  • >>>does anyone know if this fone has two cameras.. yes, just read my feedback in a previous post >>>pls check this site if u need anything.. Note about that review: not everything applies to the t-mobile german version (the only one currently easily findable). It doesn't come with any game, and the mass storage access is broken (tested on 2 computers). I don't know about other versions, of course. Considering the samsung support (german or belgian) is useless (sending a phone back to update a firmware? come on), be aware of those problems as you won't be able to fix them easily. (I think my next phone will be either an open-source one, or a closed but popular & well-hacked one like the iPhone, something that makes you think you own the phone and you're not renting the right to use it from a big company) My conclusion: the hardware looks & feels amazing, but its use can be really frustrating.

  • does anyone know if this fone has two cameras.. one in the front and the back? i see a small circle at the top right of the fone when looking at it from the front but i'm not sure what that is. thanks!

  • sorry..wrong site..it's this one..

  • samsung phones got very very bad battery life from my experience can anyone tell if this one is the same if ur using it for music purposes ...

  • I bought myself an F330, a T-Mobile version from germany, the only place I could find it in europe. I wouldn't recommend it right now, as I have no idea if this phone isn't officially out yet, or simply born-dead. No one seems to announce it. I met some problems with it (mass storage mode not working, no 320x240 video support, french being in the SMS dictionary, but only selectable once as a bug), and it only came with germanic languages, not latin ones. Samsung's support itself doesn't seem to know much about this phone (yet?), and apparently they don't support firmware updates. I only contacted Samsung belgium, let's see if the german support does know better.. Otherwise it's not a bad phone. It sure does look really good. The sensor buttons are a bit annoying, yet cool too. The UI is nice. Of course, java install is locked (and it doesn't come with any game). The unlocking could have used the sensor buttons, but no, they had to use the only physical button for this(?) Sound is ok, sliding is smooth, it's small & slick. It was just to give some info, because it looks pretty hard to find info about this phone (I had read some misleading reviews before buying it). To answer some questions: -you can change menu color to white or purple (but default purple is nicer) -you can set your MP3's as ringtones (I was expecting this to be locked, but it doesn't look like) -it can play music in the background, but it's done in an annoying way, it's better off -you can't insert 2 sim cards -the cam(s) sucks (but you knew that) The t-mobile version can be found right now on german ebay, for 150-200eur, it's not locked but you'll have to reconfigure some stuff. And, I don't know much about phones, it's my second phone in 8 years :) (after a lovely siemens ME45, which still works, and is still great)

  • wow i see ALOT of questions with no one answering any of them, so there for to save me the time of buying a samsung thanks to everyone to post their questions, and thanks to everoyne who didn't answer any of them, i'll stick with my nokia products

  • To "all da people who want be agaist Samsung Mobile" Do you guys actually know about Samsung Company.? Everyone knows Nokia is Mobile phone company. however samsung is different with that.! Samsung making lots of others as well. and over 50% of their products they have No.1 Technology in the world. such as Micro chip (D-RAM) and LCD also they do supply Mobile phone CPU to HTC and etc. company. Do you guys know ? that over 30% of Apple Iphone's inside parts are from Samsung.! Moreover, why would samsung copy FAT.-! Bulky Design from Nokia.? Samsung's Design Concept being Slim Factor and it is differnt with Nokia Design Concept.! and for the future 4G(WiBro) technology was Developed from Samsung and all the mobile phone in the future need to use samsung 4G(WiBro) chip. from all of these Samsung being totally Different company as Nokia who just making out side of phone.(inside of phone parts are fully supplied by third party)!

  • yes. ringing and "shaking" means that i can ring and vibrate at the same time :)

  • Hi I kinda unfamiliar w/ Samsung, what does ring and shake means? Does this means that usually Samsung phone when the ringtone sounds, the handset can't vibrate? Hmm... the status is available now, I wonder when it's gonna available in my country...

  • Can it ring and shake at the same time

  • This phone can insert 2 sim cards ?

  • Dude when did this phone come out? I like the way it looks and the features but I like having the NEWEST things. I hope that this is the latest phone. If not I will wait till Samsung makes another great phone that looks just like it and is just like it.

  • Come on guys(and gals), lets get some feedback about this phone. Hope this one comes to South Africa.

  • i got this phone in my shop 2 day but the slide??? its terreble!!!!!!!!! it really is cheap and it doesent slide as smooth as it should do!! the disgine is great!

  • how is the sound quality?? better than walkman w800?

  • I just got mine! Damn i am in love CHEAP and ELEGANT!! cant be matched especially for its price!! I just got mine from dechowireless.com they ship very fast! Thats my two cents..

  • WUTTT??? $132 only??? No kidding??? I want this phoneeee!

  • hoeee??? really??? avaiable in singapore now??? yeaaaaa!!! finally!!! i'll come to singapore next week!!! yeah!!! good news!!! dang!!!!!

  • urgh, apparently samsung in sg took off the option for shutting off the camera shutter sound and i'm upset with it! don't like how it goes KA CHA KA CHA everytime i try to take a pic =[

  • Guess what, got this phone today at a promotion for only sgh $88 (approx US $132!). its good, better than U700 in terms of vulnerabilty and solidness :X the sensitive touch pad certainly needs some getting used to but otherwise everything is almost perfect. abit disappointed that its only 2megapixel but as both the front and rear camera can be used anytime i'm more than happy enough (good for camwhores :x). too bad there's only two options for the display and menu/colour settings but the original purple background is good enough. can't wait to discover more of it when i wake up tomorrow. overall, its a cool phone, get it guys!

  • Available in Singapore NOW! W00T!!

  • iM C tis phone b4~~the colour vry match~~the bk cover is white colour,vry nice~~Wow..is a 3.5G phone yet..The SAM F330 is a nice phone,the price aso good..jz RM900++..so i think we can get it~~waiting launch~~

  • i NEEEEEEEEEED this fone in my life may be a little too expensive.....$US400 for no really outstanding features? doesn't make much sense when ur introducing a product to compete with SE W series. Shouldnt be above $350....

  • really want this phone!! do they have the red one?? coz in Korea Anycall(Samsung brand in Korea) they have the red one...and its nice!!!! die for it!!

  • Serbia 220 e

  • Doesnt look classy enough, thats why.

  • Review:

  • Design semms a little boring compared to competition, but it's still nice size and looks good, but doesn't seems like anything revolutionary or new, and definalty doesn't have the usual Samsung thickness. I'd rather get the Ultra Edition 10.9(U600) or 12.1(U700).

  • It's not 138 it's 103 mmm!

  • Almost 140mm in length? That's really too long!

  • Really nice chick, after browsing at other brand hp, still samsung Roarrs. Been using 4 Samsung hp since. Aft waiting for months in Singapore for e launch of tis hp, so pls dun fail me.... Really tis hp is sufficient for all needs. Jus tink HSPDA, MP3, video, n extra storage in MicroSD card. Cool man worth my wait.

  • it's only �299,95 in Germany. not expensive at all. looks really nice.

  • nice design, good colors, avg features but extremely poor battery life (3.20 hrs) I'll stick with N95 8GB

  • It's very beautiful ,Ican't wait for it man

  • it's really very beautiful ,i can't wait for it

  • i love the phone i dont know how much it is so i cant start saving for it :'(

  • wOw man this is a really sweet gadget! its seriously beautiful and it looks DAMN attractive....and the best thing is that it is a music centred mobile with a 2 megapixel camera... in short, everything which i want in a mobile.. a perfect choice for me atleast :)

  • 138mm long 0_o that cant be right?

  • this phone is marvelous it has got EDGE, 3G, Blog, synchronization with windows media player and lots of great features Music is damn cooooool with B&G speakers

  • Pls Tell me which option can appear durring the call. Can u record conversation or can u access the menu for on voice recorder to record conversaion.

  • How can you guy's opinionate on something you haven't got."Yet".

  • i hope it doesn't have the 30 songs per playlist. that would make me want to get a nokia or sony. great lookin phone though!!

  • looking wise so strong.samsung is always best

  • can i know the weight n talktime?

  • New GUI, please! Use that 260K !

  • is this phone even out yet? i wanna get it soo bad :/

  • Will the phone survive if it has fallen down

  • is the phone great in music memory

  • this phone will be good to take photos of my victims!

  • Oi tink its a fabtastical phobile mone, very attractive oi say!

  • i have the nokia 6233 and the music is really loud on it... is the music on this loud as well?

  • Meh, again Samsung come up with a cold and creepy looking phone. Like we are all robots or something. It looks like something your'e supposed to implant in your head. Hehe. ;-)

  • To Mavin HEY h0w u kn0w it make by Cheap plastic material and problem with flex.. r u the 1 wh0 design this ph0ne?? haha u r makin my birdy laugh..

  • samsung for customer who are concerned with the aesthetic not the functional or economical

  • man this phone looks sweet...does anyone know the release date? i would love to get my hands on this one

  • WoW another good looking phone by sammy........ rocks...... just waiting for its release gud work by samsung

  • Its a cool, gud looking phone!!!! really js rocking...lets wait n watch its performance...........

  • It's gonna be pretty expensive due to the built in Bang and Olufsen audio chip. The 6500 slide should cost about 360 Euros. If Samsung should demand more than 300 Euros, I'll buy the 6500 Slide. This phone looks good, but like the iphone, it's fashion and nothing else.

  • amazing attractive useful efficient to communicate urgent need of modern times.i would get pride to have it means f330.ok

  • Samsung produces indeed very stylish phones, but that's all. They are no match for Nokia or Sony . Peace!!!

  • S exiest LooK ........ i Love it :)

  • Finally someone from Samsung was listening Nokias with good earphones :)

  • A dedicated B&O audio chip? Think its a marketing gag or would it offer a significant improvement over current music phones, especially over SEs offerings?

  • design lo0ks nice.. :)

  • Awesome !!!!!!!!! but can some one tell abt the standby time and talk time,because here isnt mention :s

  • this baby's perhaps the s_xiest slider samsung has eva produced.

  • It's really nice, but I wish this was symbian :(

  • Looks like the iPod touch wheel.

  • best phone out, period

  • Cheap plastic material and problem with flex in all samsung ph0ne..

  • cool, or not cool

  • Well,to be honest ,feature wise it an average phone as no body think samsung for music phone,.

  • i really love the design! for me its 10/10! u rock this time samsung.. ;)

  • Can Samsung compete with SE's walkman range and Nokia's XpressMusic? Dont bother asking Moto's ROKR...lmao im not interested.

  • To Bob If you look closely to the enlarged Picture of this phone. You will see that it HAS Touch sensitive buttons either side of the square pad...

  • I guess Samsung finally realized people don't like touch sensitive keys. That's why they made this one out of a U600 or something...

  • very beautiful

  • hmmm even the u600 seems better

  • awesome features
