Samsung i400 - User Reviews

  • Nice Phone

  • Atleast 3G UMTS if not 3G HSDPA would hav been fitted in this goodie...not forgettin FM RADIO if not RDS FM RADIO...

  • This phone is equipped with Symbian S60 3rd Operating System (OS). To visitors who understand Bahasa Malaysia / Bahasa Melayu / Bahasa Indonesia please feel free to log on to for Symbian Operating System knowledge. It is written in Malay. I have reviewed Samsung i450 Symbian phone and you can read it there both in English and Bahasa. You will also find links to free Symbian Games/ Software and Themes there. So start reading and downloading goodies for THIS phone!

  • can install the navigator (tom-tom)on this symbian?

  • it's a S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 based device, NOT S60 3.0.

  • Looks abit boxy

  • i wud like to try this phone as i believe that i hav got downright mesmerized by its colorful nd sophisticated look

  • Can you watch videos in landscape mode?

  • Do you have it already? If not, you can't say it the best phone...

  • Samsung i400 is the best phone i have ever had. You shoud really try it!!

  • its realy nice phone if you used you will never forgetit

  • Samsung i400 will be equipped with a 3.5 stereo minijack (maybe on headset)? Or it will be with Samsung firm connector?

  • jesus ... anyone knows how important 3g is but noone uses videocalls since live messanger appeard... and greece of course suports 3g...

  • "Great to see this phone!At last...we have something to compare with nokias!" actually we dont have anything, cos this phone doesnt have even 3G. You will someday relize how important function that is, at last then when your country gets those 3G services up, like they have here in Finland. I cant anymore even think phone without 3G or HDSPA

  • too bad it doesn't support 3G or HSDPA. No FM compared to other manufacturer that include it as standard. I love the shape and sleek design though.

  • Great to see this phone!At last...we have something to compare with nokias!

  • it's really pretty,slim and shining.we really need out.it makes my heart pop like nothing.it's me maulid from tanzania

  • i think i saw this phone in a ad in a mag in singapore. To double check, i went to the distrubutor and they said it was a printing error. but, at least i got to see this fone at the shop and it was ...amazing...NOT. They phone had crack on the slide, and the red end call button was fading.... i will be waiting fo r sony ericsson's w580i soon.

  • it haven't wifi!!!! it's bad!!

  • wish it had FM radio

  • keita: have a look at it's spec page, you'll see that it has s60 v3.0UI meaning the version is 3rd edition.

  • To harry Tell me how the hell have you had this phone for two days when it hasn't even been launched yet?

  • Honestly speaking my samsung battery seems to be working fine for years and i nvr really got a hot battery for those who complains, maybe u guys got the fake i think =P

  • a lightweight, slim symbian phone from "samsung.. i think that this is better than nokia symbian phones, especially the screen.. finally, another phone brand releases a symbian phone.. nokia symbian phones really suck.. i hope that sony ericsson will also release symbian s60 phones, not only UIQ models such as p990 and w550." i don't have any reaction with that statement except the last sentence... hey dude SE owns UIQ and they have their development team to develop that platform so no need for SE to use S60 as it will cost them more than using their own. and also the UIQ 3.1 is a non-touchscreen version that directly competes with S60 FP-2 from nokia's S60. anyway the SE company didn't leave the touchscreen UI as the SE is readying the release of the new UIQ phone and successor of the M600 based on the same UIQ 3 with better specs and updates.

  • to sabbir,, samsung units also get hot suggesting that most of samsungs units are wasting battery in heat loss,,this is true and leads me to believe that samsung use cheap electronic using high tolerance electronics.This may not mean a lot to people but electronics that have low tolerance factors i.e. +/- 2% are costly but are better at battery life being near to the spec the engineer states in the design..and on another point samsung have brought out a camcorder with 34x zoom and all was well on QVC shopping channel till the presenter said it had a 40 minute real life battery but the specs said 1hr 20mins,,SO yes samsung excels itself but to me i think "yeah" so wat your battery life is always garaunteed to be rubbish

  • You really can't say that this is better than N72 since its symbian isn't that advance and seems to have not reached the 3rd edition, so if that was true than expect having the interface of 6600 or 3650

  • Here is the i400's symbian cousin with HSDPA :

  • The name for this phone is NOKIA-KILLER

  • this phone may be symbion based, but with no 3g, and no edge capabilities it's not going to be a very successful number unless it's introduced as a low end phone for the market, hopefully samsung won't make the buying price too high or companies won't want it! perhaps it has some organisational features, but cmon samsung, we want you to take a step forward not two steps back!

  • Ha, LG KS10 is mutch better. If this Samsung runs win mobile it will be perfect but with this old and fully of bugs OS this phone will die before it's review!

  • Where's the 3G funktion...

  • to the guy which is complaining about tutch screen; do all nokia smartphones have a tutch screen? please compare this with a N72 => much better!

  • a lightweight, slim symbian phone from samsung.. i think that this is better than nokia symbian phones, especially the screen.. finally, another phone brand releases a symbian phone.. nokia symbian phones really suck.. i hope that sony ericsson will also release symbian s60 phones, not only UIQ models such as p990 and w550.

  • it seems to be a good one and the best thing about it is the large screen and the Symbian OS series 60.as U know this is the same software used in nokia 6600 amd u kan easily find all kind of applications u want. the logo of sasmsung insures me that the screen and media apps will be high class. enjoy it

  • no touch screen?what kind of smart phone is this

  • simple, slim, nice phone. i dont need fm radio, as long as mp3 player is there, and i dont need wi-fi, coz laptop is better with wi-fi, all i need is very good screen, symbian S60 and long lasting battery...(plus big space for my songs)

  • Samsung been producing superb slider mobiles but its the Fatures on there mobiles that let people down,an do not seem to be challenging Sony Ericsson an Nokia in Europe,Just hope this ones not another let down by them

  • wonder why samsung's battery so poor! sometimes even they don't mention about their battery in the specifications. samsung should take care about this first. poor power system means poor phone.

  • great its os is symbian

  • Ic...hmmm I've heard soem people saying those touch sensitive buttons are extremely sensitive. Good news is that, the way samsung is adding more S60 models in their profile, I'm sure there will be more to come. Cheers!!

  • Kal, i520 has very inconvenient sensor keys. What's why is not the option for many people.

  • I wonder why there is no report on S60 Madrid expo on GSMarena. A single update from Nokia makes news, how come this one missed out? And folks I dont understand why some of you cry out when a phone is not 3G. Not everyone needs 3G. They have already announced i520 for that.

  • No 3G ( still OK for me), no FM-radio, no flash. Looks like budget phone with basic functions and S60 inside. Almost the same phone like i520, but with reduced functions. Nothing interesting. I was expecting more from Samsung...

  • Great... yet another S60 phone... looks like Samsung are going down the toilet the way of the Nokia... So much for reliability.

  • What can this phone actually do?

  • Similar features to the W580, but I like the W580 better. Pretty decent specs though. But Samsung sliders look the same! But this one looks a bit more low end than other ones.

  • the style is really nice but the problem is that it is not a 3G phone

  • good thing though is that the OS dont hang unlike Nokia's....just misses out some things.

  • samsung just misses things like 3g, fm radio, etc. sad their foens are so nice...

  • just another the same old boring Samsung

  • Damn this phone is ugly.

  • Sweet looking phone, nice to see more S60 on Samsungs! But missing FM, 3G, Wi-Fi, 3.5 mm audio jack (mind you its got A2DP)...

  • oooooh this phone looks sooooo cuuuuute!!! ;D

  • sad thing because gsmarena didn't make any news about this phone. isn't it worth to be reported? i remember 6120 and 8800 gold reported but why this one isn't reported?

  • june.avali~?

  • it looks ok....

  • Nice Looking phone,but still 2mp Cam!?

  • lack of radio, macro mode, autofocus.... but, Samsung still in the 2nd place, after Nokia, far far behind SE & Motorola. Good job, make progrees, do not CLONE the phones like two last one's

  • this thing look hott i might just get that when it come out it need a better cam though cuz 2 mps aint good

  • the phone is good as it has os software like nokia but it should have a 3.2 mpix cam he design is gr8 hope samsung releases some 5 mpix phones soon

  • Samsung need an s60 with a 3.2 camera. By the time the i520 and i400 release they will be old.

  • Hi Maz!! 1st Post Phone looks promising...
