  • in a word..its a great phone to have.worth buying it....

  • I want this phone but can u give me in detail what this phone has i.e. touchscreen, 3g connectivity is good or not, is it good for net surfing? how much does this phone cost in Indian rs.

  • If anyone want this phone you should know that I have it and is at a very low price. You can contact me at mail above.

  • I think I have a more 'simple' question: my main concern is being able to have a phone that synchronises easily with outlook - i do not necessarily need to browse the net. Is this the right phone..

  • i want to know is it compatable with AT command if yes please send me at my e-mail [email protected] if anyone which support with AT command please tell me the name of that mobile with regards devdutt

  • Anyone is interested to get this phone at a special price? You can reach me at e-mail above. Thank you.

  • It's an amazing experience to operate a phone with 128MB RAM. It gives an unbelievable music experiene with its earplugs n is a great user friendly devie to have!! The only irritating thing is its GPRS settings...its very complicated...has a very good battery life...but else....its worth of its prize....

  • This mobile is worth to own...the best I have bought.

  • Hi guys, I am about to buy a new Samsung i640 in this Diwali. Any suggestions for a better piece or handling tips are most welcome. My e-mail ID is [email protected]

  • is this expensive?

  • looks like an overweight version of the SGH-U700..

  • duh!!!!!!!!!! see d pictures link at d left of ur screen in d specs of dis phone??? click it den u wil find r million dollar question!

  • this phone is sexy!

  • the phone is really awesome and the most appreciable attribute is its jog dial which is very found in the smart phones as well. So overall a mind blasting creation by Samsung.

  • Does anyone know if this phone has security features? I need to be able to lock the phone so that my information can only be accessed with a password.

  • any mobile without wlan is outdated.....regardless of other features!!

  • ok i luv the phone but does it stay like that or does it slide? i dont get it

  • Does this phone have internet access? I need access to Babel Fish instant translator when traveling to Korea. Anyone know? S

  • oh man i hate this slide/fashion design and i think it's very annoying.and the phone is not better than my samsung i600..

  • Does this phone operate by SIM card?

  • Samsung SGH-i640 Slider 3.5G HSDPA PhoneSamsung i640 (also on the Vodafone network i640V) is a slider 3.5G HSDPA compatible with a mobile

  • this phone sucks ass dont buy it

  • i love this phone. it is so sleek && slim. its a phone anyone should want.

  • don`t buy from this guy gershon is a fraud

  • jst got this phone from b4tele uk and it is amazing but i have two phone and this is the best

  • This is not a Quad band (850/900/1800/1900) device. I got one from Plemix, advertised as quad support, but sadly a European triband. I liked the form factor and device in general, but in the States on AT&T the loss of the 850 band makes this a less than desireable device. It still could get decent reception, but lacked the signal strength and 3G support I typically see with 3G/Quad devices I have. Sigh.....guess the wait for a WM 6, slider is still going to be a long wait.....

  • the phone has no WLAN. next... You would rarely see an ugly Samsung phone. It is safe to assume that as part of Samsung's philosophy, the design and appeal precedes, then adding the features follow. Samsung is synonymous to diversity. Think of Motorola's recycling of design, but better. In short, this phone is nothing but an attempt to add a variant among Samsung's line-up of windows mobile standard OS phones. Your choice: Blackjack - dated but abled or i640 - fresh but less-abled (as far as wifi is concerned). Only sales will tell whether Samsung has accomplished a win-win deal. [email protected]

  • Whats the deal with WLAN? Why does everyone need it so much? Not every place has WiFI. use a laptop man for wifi. Using Wifi on phone only saps battery and spoils eyes because of small display.

  • does anyone know if this phone is capable of browsing internet? im lost!!

  • I was just about to take off and go buy the phone! but ... No WLan!!!!!!! forget it... i wonder how they think in Samsung!!!

  • I sometimes wonder how many people here actually played with the phone they find fault with. This phone looks great! well done Samsung! I had a sam i320 and now have a i600. Bouth phones absolutely a dream to have. Yes, yes true, they not perfect. BUT I also had various HTC's and Imates. EXPERIANCE tells me its the best WinMobile available. (If you dont know how to work with windows mobile you'll obviously struggle)

  • the mbile should be thinner and samsung should give wlan to it...then the mobile has a good chance to get sold...

  • no offense but i looks FAT

  • pffff specs of 1 year ago

  • different style but neat. no gps though

  • to pwiF just check the site below..............

  • you can make no wi fi into 1???? please do explain as then i shall buy 1.. has any1 tried this???? thnx

  • it is very nice and I wish I've got one

  • Please I buy this model, but i don�t usere. Can you give for me a manual. thanks Julio Cesar

  • hey guys get this! the samsung i640 has NO WI-FI right? but don't cry cause since this phone runs on WM6, you may be able to inject a WI-FI device in it! with what? well...with MICRO SDIO WIFI 11b\g card. check this site

  • why this keypad though? and why a slider? makes no sense to me, sliders are meant to be compact, and that keypad is the same one as on the i607, which i hated. so uncomfortable to type on. get going with something new samsung!!

  • "Coming soon"??? It is already out!!

  • C'mon, where the Wi-Fi, for crying out loud?

  • ...NO Wi-Fi...

  • ehh not too bad. its just missing wifi thats about it.

  • i think it looks nice for a smartphone, just a bit wide

  • Design POOR!!!!

  • not impressive...
