Samsung i740 - User Reviews

  • yar plz tel me the best phone for tex msging and that have many features 4tex messaging

  • transflash /ماذا تعنى

  • this phone is usually a wast no 3g,no wifi, even the working frequency in only 1900, no umts!!

  • does anyone know this phone can read office's files?

  • :-) I have had HP iPAQ hx4700 with 624 MHz processor 5 years ago...

  • the procesor it's the same like the omnia i900

  • ya i dont know if its a type or not.....but 624mhz...wow what a monster

  • 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.

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

  • Oh Come ON!!!!! No WiFi?????????? Why do all phone manufacturers do this?? always leave out few features out!!! so anoying... (nokia always have everything, but I just prefer Windows Mobile OS, i'm a big time PC fan). No WiFi, means no purchase for me....it was close though..

  • Status Coming soon .... you just bought some bluff

  • Just bought this phone. Before that was curios 'bout SAR level - I have contacted SAMSUNG, but they didn't give the NUMBER. It's there - in short user guide: SAR 0.664 W/Kg.

  • odd design but the processor seems like a beast

  • Well, the faun seems to be pretty good.

  • the phone supports EDGE

  • cool phone ))

  • its perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Do find a WinMobile phone with 128MB of RAM, 624MHz XScale CPU, WiFi, GPS etc. Hahah, yeah, it will be at least twice as much and frankly there aren't many of them at all. Given that not everyone lives in areas with free WiFi or even 3G coverage, and people who do often don't need it because EDGE is pretty reasonable for mobile browsing, IM, Email - this is one smart model from Samsung. Quite definitely it will be a bestseller (well, as far as WinMobile phones go).

  • maybe it'll only cost for 100$ or so.. coz the lack of some spec's specialy wifi.

  • It does have 128MB of RAM. It does have EDGE. It has two 1500mah batteries in the box (no separate charger though). You can switch "joystick" to mouse mode so that there is a pointer on screen and you manage it like on laptop touchpads, this can partially replace usage of stylus.

  • good phone almost all round, good screen, good OS, good camera, but seriously! where's the 3G at the very least??

  • Must Be Support EDGE Network at least Hey!!! Samsung what do u think?

  • 0.83mate

  • where is the wifi support come on thats a major downside the fone looks rather cool though

  • Windows mobile with 256 colors ??!!

  • Who knows SAR rate of this device, please, write here !!!!!

  • wlan is must have today, 3g at least.

  • There is 128mb RAM!

  • There is a mistake in specs: i740 supports EDGE.

  • this phone designed for chinese,no 3G,chinese type i728.

  • the phone may have incomplete features but budget wise, its good for the masses who can afford it.

  • this is a perfect phone for freshers to the corporate world. also has the exact required features. with a perfect budget. yes WiFi would have been a plus point, but its perfect for the price. Samsung knows how to keep all kinds of market happy.. any comments??

  • Without wifi this is uncompleted phone ..........

  • Does anyone understand that some people can't afford the best phone's. This is a very good bottom of the range phone. Well done samsung

  • Once again, everyone on these forums has completely missed the point of this phone. It's not a high end smart phone, it's a budget smart phone for people that want a windows mobile phone on a tight budget. If you want wi-fi or 3G there are more expensive phones in the range to cater for you. Think of it as an entry level smart phone for the first time user.

  • sometimes hard to understand Samsung people, who will buy this ?

  • No gsmarena dont mistake on this but samsung do. because if i740 has wifi in no 3g country no one buying this phone they buying i780 or i900. thats samsung mistake.

  • without wifi and 3g what kind of windows mobile is this

  • i'd prefer omnia or innov8 coz it has more features....eg: wifi, 3G, etc.....as for this fone....its just basic, incomplete features.

  • Ugly, triband, no wifi. UGLYYYYY

  • i`m sure it has wifi and edge but on gmsarena it is not allways specified correctly. if u consider those specs, it doesn`t even have touchscreen(and it`s pretty obvious it has)

  • Perfect phone for business users if add 128MB of RAM, EDGE and lowest price ever. Otherwise won't introduce.

  • Looks perfect for the old hag people...

  • perfect phone.. just the right & necessary features.. quadband gsm 3.2MP Camera with Flase Fm Radio WM 6.1 2.8: TFT Screen Not so big dimension Super Fast Processor Super Big Battery Hope it becomes available soon here in the Philippines!

  • why NO EDGE?

  • This phone as you can see from the picture is a touchscreen. It is impossible to operate if its not. As far as I know, this is a budget mwm 6.1 pro phone which is intended for those who do not use 3g, wlan, etc. This phone is perfect for my daily use; i.e. make calls, send sms, and of course gps capable. My guess price for this phone is no more than 200 usd.

  • It's a cheap handset. A kind of pocket pc with poor internet features. I Think that's a pocket PC to the masses.

  • relax guys !!!! just an affordable pocket pc with powerfull proccessor..... thats it dont smash samsung and say" learn from nokia and SE " .... have u forgot the I900 ?

  • Poor connectivity. Who the hell are u guys at Samsung targeting with this one? Smartphone-wanna be users? This is TRASH

  • Excellent Processor ,but poor specifications

  • this phone has a touch screen haven't you read wm 6.1 pro NOT standerd

  • no wi-fi

  • gps function and it doesn't support EDGE, 3G or Wi-Fi? WTF?

  • no WLAN no touchscreen (?) strange pocket, or rather smartphone. looks like made in "not to damage Omnia" mode. "not to hoover up" users...

  • if it wasnt Xperia, this would be my phone

  • i dont like dis fone.. look at the color?

  • No Wi-Fi? FAIL

  • fast model, this device is the best.

  • Wait, is this not a touch screen?

  • That is one fast processor!!

  • Nice looking, modest on features but I like it :)
