Samsung S501i - User Reviews

  • the phone it have broplems in muzic

  • it s realy a strange phone

  • It's a very nice phone.

  • This is a good looking phone from Samsung.

  • . Good phone...Good photos and videos.

  • Today only i notice, try n click on the pic to get a bigger view of this phone, n u'll notice tht this phone has an external music keys which look 100% same with V6 MAXX.Even the exterior glass panel also almost look the same as MAXX.Coincident?

  • I just gotted this phone today,is really nice...i don't know so much about mobiles phones so i hoped that someone could tell me if is a good choice.Plz

  • not really a bad attempt by samsung... good design, very good indeed, but personally I prefer that of the e700, though it is older. and.. there are higher standards than 1.3 Megapixel cameras nowadays dont you think? well, if I didnt have the perfect k800 I would go on and buy this phone. 8/10 final rate

  • I buy this phone,it isn't not bad,but the vibrations are too noisy,and arrow-key are too near from the other key... It's beautiful but plastic keepp fingerprints... And no you can't put mp3 as ringtones

  • iz da fone ne gud...??

  • i'm wondering if the mp3 can be used as ringtones?

  • Ur comment is VERY brilliant, Faisel. *SARCASM*

  • Actually, Motorola are the ones that are copying Samsung here and Samsung Handsets are a Million times better than Motorola and the features will lick all over Motorola. Same goes for Nokia and Sony Ericsson, which are a TRILLION times better than Motorola and Motorola can only stick with the same crappy background which literally makes me sick and puke and vomit! Nokia RULES!!!!!

  • The dude who commented below me is a hater. Samsung does not copy other people's phones. Plus, even if they did, Samsung's is way better. And to add to that, Phones you see from Samsung have already been used for a few years in Korea.

  • what is with samsung copying motorola's designs its good that they make better one's but they should make their own designs this just looks like moto's pebble and the A900 is a copy of the razor.

  • oh and does it have a good video recorder???and camera??????

  • Is this a good phone? And does it have one of those hole that you cen put those mobile keyrings through? Please reply....

  • good

  • Nothing new but will shift at a good price Does it have anything the s500 doesnt?

  • u think this one looks good? O.o ok however... but what are the nice features u are speaking of? .. this one is not what I would expect from a new Samsung (we want to be tech. leader.. bla bla) phone!

  • Who give a crap, who copied who, at the end of the day i reckon this phone looks pretty awesome with some pretty neat features.

  • wow lewy, you are the worse liar i have ever seen in my life. it doesnt matter how rich you are ( which you probably arent) you still could not get this phone because it hasnt came out yet. and if you really were rich, you probably wouldnt buy this phone.

  • i have this phone its awsum but i smashed it because i got mad so..... im rich so ill buy ten more i have every phone evr to com eout... i am rich as

  • Kal, you are a real Samsung fans!!!

  • the phone is brilliant lets just leave iut who copied who

  • Hi Lucas. I do agree with you and we all know who is who. Sorry if I started the debate about copying LG. I belive Samsung has the best design in the market. I was just a bit concerned, looking at the picture on the left. The shape is quite different from what Samsung was designing for a while. I liked all E380/D830/X500/S401i..its written samsung all over the design.. But this picture somehow looks like what LG has in the market for sometime..and I dont really fond of that shape..its more roundish kind. Most propbaly the picture has taken from such an angle or something. the other pic looks good. Just have to wait for more info I assume. Cheers.

  • read things before you post. for the last time, this phone is not a copy of an LG, LG copied samsung with the touch sensitive buttons. LG just made it popular. and has anyone ever heard of pantech???? their phone have touch sensitive buttons too, and so does ntt docomo.

  • good

  • I like it, but I do not like samsung's batteries... really sucks, I've got an d500, but I alerady sold it, and bought an w800...

  • copy of lg

  • To Kal To say LG copyed Samsung in the first place. No wonder it looks like an LG clam shell, It's LG who need to get there own Ideas..

  • .......I meant NOT doing justice.

  • Somthing is wrong...doesnt look like a standard Samsung design to me...its more like LG clamshell..is it somthing new that samsung is working on? maybe the pics are doing justice.

  • nothing new...nothing special....just old features raped in old body and announced as new model

  • Very good phone i like SAMSUNG

  • i dont understand why all of you hate this phone so much. i think its a nice phone. the features arent the greatest but they're pretty good. one thing i do love about this phone is the sleek jet black finish and the touch sensative buttons not touch screen under the external display. i actually wouldnt mind having this phone. its a nice size, it has a good camera and a very good video camera. its very modern and sleek looking. and it has an mp3 player. they phone could have been better if some things were added to it like a radio, or a 2mp camera. but i think the phone is fine the way it is.

  • he can't have this phone.this phone is not available for anyone!it hasn't come out yet. and the front screen is not touch screen type...only those buttons under the front screen are touch sensible = like those on LG Chocolate

  • samsung have like 100 phones with the same middling and out of date specs with minor design changes... all black and silver with a poor battery life and user interface.

  • ok for the people that is a little..... there is no touch screen, this phone have 3 buttons a little down of the screen like samsung d780, zv50,z560,z310,d810,s500i, LG M4300,LGU890,LGM4410,LGP7200, Philips 680 ........,but in this phone they are touch sensitive , like LG kg810, and the front part of the LG kg800

  • Ugly looking phone & no new features!

  • samy, how could you get this phone if its not for sale anywhere???

  • yes the front screen is touch screen i am the first one to get this phone in the uk

  • Is the Second external STN display TOUCH-SCREEN??? I can see play and stop buttons for MP3 and they seem like touchable

  • sigh

  • yeeeeeeeeee i'm first
