Samsung U700 - User Reviews

  • I want buy this phone

  • Hi, i am looking to purchase this 3G phone Samsung U700 so anyone is still selling it..? kindly contact me at [email protected] Thank you.

  • I am still using my Samsung SGH-U700. The U700 has two main inherent problems. The chrome finish on the front side does not last long with every user (seen it) and the flex cable inside the U700 destroys itself in everyday use in about 1,5 years (experienced it several times). The flex cable is a clear (intentional?) design shortcoming and in some countries it violates national product laws. A product should be designed so that self-destruction by normal use is not possible. However, you can watch in YouTube, how to fix the cable by yourself and continue the use of U700. If you live in Germany, you can still buy new U700 slider phones at very convenient prices.

  • Ah... The mighty U700... I still remember the first day I got it. I was 7 treats old back in 2007. I had to choose this or the U600. I think I made a pretty good choice.

  • this phone sucks.... I hate this phone. It's slide ribbon always break. I had it repaired during the first year I bought it. Luckily it was under warranty. But after that, the ribbon still got broken easily.

  • this phone is crap. i had this one and its flex always broken. GEE! so slide phones are ideal for me.

  • !!!U700!! e250 is very bad mobile>>>>i used it>>

  • Why do you guys winge and moan about the phone,,,,, Didnt you read first what others thought about it before purchasing,,,,, If you didnt then who is to blame,,, the company or you for not doing your homework first????

  • It's a great phone, the 3G connection is Brilliant and the camera too!! But it's sheer bloody idiotic to operate, touch sensor buttons are meaningless. The worst problem is the Ribbon(Fibre flex) It's idiots, I had to repair it at first and then after a month it went wrong again, it's seriously unreliable!! To sum up then, Samsung U700 is absolute rubbish!!

  • accually i already had this kind of phone..but den the flex had been broken,,hmnnn,,

  • I had the same problem with flex cable (Fibre) but i solved it like this. Get a ceal tape (the one u use to tape your boxes. Stick it on the fibre both sides(one facing the other). Cut the sides of the fibre with a razorblade. Do not cut close to the fibre. Leave aa small thin layer on all sides. Remember not to tape the connection terminals. Fix it and you are done. Greetings to you all the guys

But i switched to Digi recently, even though it can be detected, but it seems like i cant call out or receive any calls. I read from online that the phone was locked from certain network. How to solve this? Please help!

  • This hanphone the sliding not very good easy to damaged and also many softwares not supported by this handphone no good !

  • SAMSUNG U700 - Worst phone i ever came across. Although features and looks are world class but one cannot rely on this phone. Problems like, hang ups, software bugs, slider cable, veryvery short battery life are common. NO SERVICE CENTRE od samsung in INDIA repairs it. Total mental harrassment and burning your money. Would like to talk samsung people on this and would be glad if they can repair it FREE of cost.

  • The worst phone I ever had !!! Apart from the peeling of the cover, known problem but not timely solved (silver color cover replaced 3 times during warranty), 14 (at least) software bugs (reported but simply ignored by Samsung... not even a 'thanks for telling us' email answer ), ridiculous sound quality, poor battery perfromance, I DO HAVE to complain about Samsung repair service. The phone is now out of warranty. Yesterday the speaker died. I open it up and found that Samsung repair people had glued the speaker, the camera, the vibration motor, and the flash LED all together !!! This must have been done during one of the several repairs in warranty. I would have now to replace all assemblies, instead of the sole speaker !!! Or better, I will simply throw the phone away. Never another Samsung product of any kind, for me. rgds Aurelio

  • mi phone does not read in the computer when i want to load pics and music i ask what is the problem?

  • I have this cell phone since 2009 this one is good the /features/sounds/graphics. It has a persistent,disturbant problem with the flex - sliding screen. My phone has been repaired two times.

  • I have this cell phone since 2009 this one is good the /features/sounds/graphics. It has a persistent,disturbant problem with the flex - sliding screen. My phone has been repaired two times.

  • I had this phone for about 4 months, and although it has some cool features, and looks nice, it had quite A LOT of problems. 1. It's battery life is really short, stays for only a couple of hours or so, and battery replacing didn't work. 2. It's screen kept going black, and had severe color and contrast issues. 3. The buttons didn't respond when the slide was at full, even changing the keypad didn't work. 4. Sometimes, the phone would hang while playing music. There were more problems, but I'll keep it short. There are much better phones worth the same amount of money, so think wisely before buying this phone.

  • good handset that supports all major applications but its touch screen feature is pathetic. screen resolution and sound quality is awsome.

  • I have this Samsung U700 cell phone since 2007. It has had a persistent problem with the flex - defective connection with the base and sliding screen. My phone has been repaired three times. Now is the time for the fourth repair. I would never buy this phone again and certainly do not recommend this to anyone. It looks good, feels quite simple to use, but it has serious reliability problems. My earlier Nokia cell phones have been completely reliable. This is the reason I have recently bought a third Nokia cell phone.

  • The samsung u700 mobile is good.I have used it for one year.The only problem is that the sound level is low.

  • i like dis mobile.. but dis feather touch i dont like..

  • worst phone i ever had

  • the flex strip that connects the sliding screen with the main phone ALWAYS BREAKS resulting to inverted display. "Clear" key doesnt is sluggish or is not responding at all in some instances.

  • this mobile is so so so bad

  • I have this song for quite a long time now, unfortunately I don't really like the phone. The design is awesome, everytime I hear "woah that's a nice looking phone", but the whole operation system is just crap. I can't even change the ringtone for an incoming SMS. Also it's very slow, when I take a picture it takes like 10 seconds to make it. And when you scroll through them, it goes very slow. I wouldn't recommend to buy this phone.

  • go to: Settings - call settings - all calls - auto reject - reject list - remove whatever u want

  • I just love this fone, had it now for 4yrs. To unreject a caller:(Hev the number written down if u dont know it by heart) 1. Go to Settings>Call Settings>All Calls>Auto reject>Reject list. Then just un-select the fone number.

  • hi, i added ma friend in reject list in my u700 samsung phone, i am unable to remove the person how can i do it. pliz help.

  • How do u unreject a caller

  • I forgot the password please help

  • You said you repaired the charging system how did you do that? My phone has just died cos it wont charge up. I thought it was the charger so got a new one but still the same. The phone recognises that you have put the charger in but nothing happens and of it is just out of its 12 month guarantee period!!

  • I had this phone 2 years now. Problems with flex cables 4 times (twice under warranty). Problem with paint peel (thrice under warranty...known defect at Samsung service centres) eventually they offered me a dark grey cover (with new LCD panel). That solved the peeling problem for good. This phone also seems to drop calls or even 3G frequently. Could be due to flex cable problems. Lately the flex cable kaput again. I've decided to switch to non-slider phone this time and bought a Samsung Jet.

  • Hi guys Please assist with the factory default code hence I did activate the phone lock and security code on my U700 and I have forgotten both codes.

  • It is a fragile fone . believe me don 't buy it even for no money problems will shower u with no reason i have it for less than two months now it is dead!!!!! I am a fan of samsung but this model made me rethink of it .

  • samsung it's for me grat name till i use mobil u 700 believe me this will not habben to try any product else

  • the phone was good although you cant hear it when it was ringing and when the phone is in your pocket it opens up all sorts of different programs and thing even when it is locked

  • This fone is absolute crap. i have replaced flex several times, repaired the charging system, repaired the middle button and the network. on top of that its ageing very fast. its expensive n u wont get the value for money. i regret buying this and any other samsung product. am thinking of changing my loyalty to nokia

  • U r right.I am also punished in all ways to believe on samsung brand and purchased this useless stuff

  • ...i had dis fone,but i had to change the flex twice. it is so sensitive...

  • iv had this phone for 1year and it is very good apart from the battery running out all the time the touch is very good.

  • i had this phone last year and its battery life and sound quality is so low,i could never hear when it was ringing,i used to have 2 or more missed calls...it wasnt a good phone though

  • i had that u700 last year mid march,, after a month i sell it coz i had a problem with its lcd and its battery last for only 2 hours.. dunno if it has virus or battery prob.it is very sensitive too.. it always dial any number in my phonebook... i bought it brandnew.. but it has a very great sounds.. iam using the original charger,headset and usb cable..

  • i have this phone for 4months now and i had to change the flex twice!!!i bought it at an authorized dealer brand new.everything is perfect exept for the flex issue.

  • i loved this phone but i lost it! :(

  • This is the most expensive phone in terms of value for money. I've had to replace the flex so many times, the face is chipping away, the network is horrible even in the most accessible of places. It short I was ripped of by a famous brand.

  • It's very very good, in shape, in color, in properties, even in software, I had put my husband's SIM card in it and he found massages in the inbox that dated 2006, while when he put his SIM in his Nokia it only read till 2008, so about 30 massages not read by nokia but was seen easily by samsung. BRAVO SAMSUNG. I think they are the best.

  • I have U700 for about 2 years now, it's wonderful, the opinions of other people are very strange, I think maybe they got it from unauthorized shops that sell faulty mobiles. this phone is sensitive yes and needs gentle handling, but it works very good alhamdo lellah.

  • I was so amazed on it looks.. i already replaced the flex so may times.. now i was looking for a new phone..i will not buy any slide up phones..

  • yeah your right , ive changed the flex too, and touch keys are so sensitive,i keep touching unintentionally.....weak speakers too, but great display..

  • great phone but charging pin gives problems after a while. and 3g my cause network dropping

  • this phone is so sensitive...i have changed the flex 2x now.

  • hi,it is very nice phone but it isnot hard work mobile so may be another one enjoy to use it but the option of it and the application are very nice

  • Hi! i am still using this phone. I bought it 17 month ago, and am still using it. Realy i like it, i changed the flex ones. Realy, i use to stress my phone but it cooperate. I am very carefull not to let it fall down on the grownd, but sometimes it fall. See! changing of flex is a habit of all slizing phones, and all slizing phones need a very good maintainance. Im posting this with my samsung u700. The only problem am having with this phone is that, if i send application to it, the app will not open but if i download with the phone it oppens secodly anything your sending to the phone it can not go direct to memory card, except you move it after sending. Second post will follow.

  • it's too senctiv,. i thought it is nice to use but i was wrong,.i hope it will last til i got money to buy a new 1,.hehe

  • it's too senctiv,. i thought it is nice to use but i was wrong,.i hope it will last til i got money to buy a new 1,.hehe

  • what a waste of money..i've only used it for two weeks..now its broken..thank God theres a one year warranty..hehe

  • ive used dis phone n i must say dis phone crashed easily.. the screen goes black, inverted and the sound mute when the phone is slide down.. i get i repaired but the same prob still happend...3X.. although the design is superb but it is not really tough phone compared to L760 and F330.. trust me i've used all these phones..

  • if i download a game using my pc and transfer it into the memory card,can i play the game using this phone???

  • Very bad phone i ever bought. bad connectevity, bad batarry life time, paint peeling, and the reaction of the touch kye is very slow. really i hate this phone after using it 6 Monthes :( :( :(

  • worse phone i eva bought got it for 6 months the touch pad stop working sent it for repaisr after two months the spearker stoped sent it for repairs after two month the slide is faulty wen i slide it down or up the screen picture goes wat a waste of money this phoen is

  • i wish it had animation on text and radio

  • crap phone. High sensitivity high maintanance. No good because I had one and my friends had one each as well and the touchpad in all these phones stopped working! And u have to be VERY VERY GENTLE when u r sliding it otherwise it will not last a week!

  • I had this phone now for more then 6months and i love it alot. It is very sensitive ja but you get use to it. Believe me i am a Sony Ericson fan but i fell inlove with this U700.

  • i jst love tha desighn bt now my camera iz broken BOTH my battery runz falt quik nd my buttenz warmz up wen i chach my phone (wich iz very creepy) nd tha mirror like finish is slowly bt surely eroding bt i stl love it nd wud stl throw my LG CHATTERBOX in tha bin for a u700

  • its a nice phone but it is high maintainance

  • i dont like that kind of celphone, i have that item before but it last only 3 month..i dont know what happen, now i love my new sonny ericson

  • thats the best phone!!! just samsung!

  • i cannot use a type of network in Ghana but if i put it in another phone it works.why????????

  • i love nokia and i love nokia that is all

  • Got this phone about 15 months ago and yesterday it just died. Completely dead... just past warranty period of course. Sim card is still fine as I put it back in my old phone. Probably won't bother getting this fixed as features are not great, touch buttons horrible, locking feature not effective so phone sometimes makes random calls while closed, photo quality is OK but long shuter lag. $300 down the drain. Think I'll get an iphone.

  • this phone sucks badly! i had it for 1 year after that the screen went black the sensobuttons stoped working and mow i need a new phone! trust me and dont buy it

  • if you are from egypt there is sgh-250 it costs 430 l.e if you arent from egypt look for it in your country it may be in your country

  • the phone started peeling after 4 months,the screen started going blank and the touch screen stopped working.even after getting it repaired,the screen still goes blank and the music player wont play when the slide is open.

  • My Mobile Crash After less than ayear.,the touchable keypad doesnt work,and the screen went black. Before it crash it was avery good mobile except the rintone volume.

  • I've had my U700 for 2 weeks had it fixed once the touchscreen stopped working but no other problems... it didnt even peel but having a black cover put on

  • samsung is the best mobil all over the world

  • Those people are strange i have the Samsung U700 and it has been with me for a year nothing happened to it it still looks new!!! I didn't take it to the service center!!!!

  • this mobile is special very nice and good battery ectnice but itttttttttttt.

  • this phone sucks!!!..the flex is the main defect of this phone...samsung should improve should know this because they keep on releasing slide phones.....i will never buy samsung phones...never ever because of my horrible experience with their phones.....

  • i had this phone for almost 2 yrs now.. i had it repaired for the nth times.. cannot even count how many times.. i suggest you buy a new phone (or a 2nd hand) rather than have it repaired..

  • my samsung u700 got w.screen,no sounds .w.screen

  • Started having problems within the first year. Screen was inverting, speaker broken, eventually the whole top screen stopped functioning. Had it repaired and now it's doing that again. Don't buy this phone.

  • this is my second u700 and like the first the screen started disappearing (cable change)

  • If somebody have problem with sound or with the screen just say somebody to change a FLAT CABLE ... everething else works fine and it's a darn good one !!!

  • Hi also had a problem with the screen inverting (back to front - really looks strange) and the sound going completely off. Had the speaker replaced and it lasted for a few months before also going completely dead.

  • my samsung u700 sucks. screen breaks, it sometimes turns upside down. then the rear camera is not working. its been 2 months since i purchased it.

  • the phone sucks one problem after the other

  • I like Samsung phones. However the U700 is testing my like for Samsung. Flex comes off, screen breaks (jumping up and down), sound's gone. Had to thow it away. Don't buy it if its still available anywhere. I hope that Samsung's new phones will return to the quality of the D820 for example.......

  • i threw the thing away and got myself a nokia. i've had it for a yr now and i looooove it. i'm a nokia gal now!

  • i have had this phone for only a couple of months and have had nothing but problems. Its the only phone i have owned that has given me problems its not a good phone at all i would not get another samsung again they have lost my business and their servise is not good at all. 700nz dollars for a piece of junk.

  • I had mine a very short time, payd 700 dollars for this phone and with in a couple weeks when all the colour started to peel off it looks horrible. i couldnt use the phone to ring as the other end couldnt hear me then the screen went blue and then the screen went split into four squares. the slide part gets worn away very fast and stuffs the phone out. frankly its not a good phone for the money i had to pay for it and never came with a memory card where is other phones have.

  • Got mine last july nd before months end battery charging had a problem I got it back 4 months later with a new problem no camera. It really sucks including the the technical and customer support service.

  • me 2 and wat did u do?

  • Yeah this phone is great but i had to get the lcd screen fixed multiple times...like the feautures in the phone are good but after a while it runs slow

  • it has a gr8 software but the cover paint keeps peeling off and its so fragile i repaired at least 8 times in less than 2 years and now its broken again there is another colour the black one i think it doesn't peal off.

  • The phone is jst suitable for those who rarely get calls or rather use the phone.it has cost me alot to repair tha flex and tha peeling cover.its like its molting!tha battery gets overheated at times especially when surfing.btw tha sound and inverted screen problem is due to tha flex.mark you,there are dealers who sell fake flex.buy tha original with U-700 mark on it,mine was worse bt now better...bt i preffer my L-700.

  • this phone is not durable. it's flex easily broken which effects the lcd to lose its display. and also vibrations lost and also it's speaker is affected. even the scroller doesn't work when it's flex is broken. better not but slide up phones and folding phones

  • i suggest not to purchase this phone... due to flex issues.. you'll be frustrated bcoz you have to repair it like three times a year. my girlfriend have this phone and right now she no longer use it since the one year warranty already expired..so she have to pay for every repair of the flex..

  • I have been hunting for Samsung U700 lovely pink for months now. could someone pls help me finding the pink version pls pls..

  • This phone really disappointing me Firsts its the cover peeling off the matelic part then the speaker gave in all in just over a year crap phone indeed im done with samsung.

  • this phone is the worst! mine died after less than a yr. it first inverted the image such you literally had to use a mirror to read anything on the screen. it then refused to charge then refused to go on!!! i took it to authorised dealers who said there was nothing they could do! this was after paying $227 for it last yr! never ever buying a samsung again.

  • had this phone for 2 years and now i lost it!! it sucks!! i loved the phone anyways! gettin samsung B3310 now =]

  • this phone is junk 1st of all the paint peels off then the screen is upside down the colours turns funny you cannot make calls signal drops easily touch sensitivity is [email protected] is not a good phone its the worst.

  • The samsung u700 is a smart phone i got it for a year it gave me some problem.but it.s a smart phone what i like about it the styal of it.

  • where did you go for repair? cause i'm having problem with the sound, sometimes it is ok and sometimes no sound at all.

  • i got this phone from GERMANY it used by my cousin there and he give to me here in philippines coz he buys blackberry but i got no problem on this phone aside the silver paint was going bad.....

  • The worst phone ever, samsung worst phone yet!!! The touch screen works for about a few weeks then it doesn't work, the sound does not work and the paint starts, to come of people do not buy this phone if it doesn't work don't bother to fix it waste of money chuck it away and curse the phone.

  • This is a very nice phone, i have used it , the paint might peel of juss like anyu other phone, juss get new covers thts all.......good phone indeed!

  • I currently have the samsang u700 i agree with the people the paint does peel off and the touch buttons give u problems. I sent it for repairs 2 weeks ago and got it back now and it looks brand new its back and it looks so smart the paint does not peel off now other then that the phone id great really like it.

  • U700 is the worst phone I ever had!!! First the paint started to peel off, then the phone didn't want to charge, the soft touch went and then the screen display disappeared. DO NOT purchase this phone, you could just as well throw your cash in a bomb fire. Oh, and I had this phone for less than 6 months, and my sister too. Hers did exactly the same.

  • i currently have the Samsung SGH-U700 and the sound does not work, i cant make phone calls nor text messages and the paint has completely come off.

  • i have this phone and is pretty good... the paint yep.. it pealls but i have a 8gb memory card on it and it works :D thats what i love at it.. and the camera ;)

  • Its a nice fone and has many functions. plus its very easy to use.

  • Its a dope phone but unfortunately my touch screen option is kind of hanging,its non responsive damn wot do i do??

  • camera faild,how can i repair it?

  • had this phone very bad paint peel and speaker went and touch screen was non respnsive alot of times. screen flip all the time to with the display.

  • super cool and handy to use.

  • i cnt use underscore on my u700

  • all i can say Samsung makes great looking phone and i love them but they should work a little on phones with touch screens, am pleading to them so that the whole quality will come with the package... Thank You

  • Hi!.. may I just ask on how would I edit my phone setting when transferring blue tooth files directly saved to Memory Card and not to Phone Memory??? pls help me..

  • I bought the unit from my officemate...after 2 days it went off/blank screen and i can no longer use it... had to send it to a service ctr and pay for P7h for flex replacement but after a week it went off again...same problem... its been giving me headache since then...so to those who would want the same unit...pls make sure you buy it brand new.

  • I've had my U700 for about a year and some and don't really have much to gripe about. Slider is still solid, haptec is awesome and touch sensors haven't failed (knock on wood). It's one of the slimmest phones I've seen to date that still feels solid in my hands. Spec wise, it's an above average phone. My only non-praising comment is that the chrome finish on the sides wears off with a lot of in-out of the pocket friction. And that has only happened recently. Once it does go, the cheap looking white plastic underneath rears itself and the presentation of the device is tarnished. Other than physical appearance after wear, the device is A++

  • Ive had the phone for about a year now and I've already replaced the "flex" twice. For those of you who experience a sudden blank screen, keypads that won't work, a screen turned upside down, etc. Then it must be the "flex". Aside from this, the touch screen portion might be a little inconvenient especially for those who do a lot of SMS messaging. The "Flex" is also quite costly compared to other brands. I suggest, if you don't want to experience the above mentioned problems, get a monoblock phone and stay away from slide-ups and clamshell types.

  • this is a great phone i've had it plus minus 2years, a phone depends on the user. i gave it to my brother its still as new. great stuff samsung

  • i got the phone or should i say i had it,its so irritating i have one way conversations,corrupt caracters,unstable screen and im phone less its only been 2 yrs with it and its always been trouble nothing less and nothing more

  • the phone is whack av been using for six months n tha fibre cable been bringing lots of inconviniency. making the screen to go off and muting the speaker. what can i do?

  • I've had a Samsung u700 for two years and since the day I got this phone, it has been giving me problems. If it wasn't the speaker breaking, it was the sensors becoming faulty, to the screen flipping. I started thinking that my phone was haunted or something. I was very disappointed in this phone.

  • Got this handset 2 years ago, have been tolerating the near to mute ringtone which causes me lots of inconvienient. This model is to date quite intriguing and given me tons of suprises. For instance, it's ability to alter it's skin coloration from metallic silver to milky white is impressive but not unheard of. You should get use to admiring others to be able to play games on their handset... I don't wanna risk damaging it through unconventional methology to load game into it. No silicon casing recommended since it would simply hurt the interior circuits. Recently sent for repair cause the inner wiring connected to the display came loose and hence render the keypad useless. Right now i still love this brilliant device.

  • Pls Sir/Madam am using the samsung u700 but it seems the out going calls is not allow. but i do receve incoming calls and and i also can send text msg. i not know why i cant make a call. pls help. thanks hope to hear from u soon.

  • ya i agree the flex or info cable easily break so fast in 8 months time i have to refix it again...

  • i would love to use this phone some day where do i get it??????????????

  • I got the u700 for about a year now, and last weekend the touch scren stopped working, the touch screen stays on all the time or when you using the phone put its self off... must i take it in or whats wrong with the phone???

I realy need another brand but i do not not have the cash. please help me get another one and i will be very grateful. i will appreciate so much for your coperation if you accept my request. Im very sorry if i may be against your terms and conditions.

  • i have had this mobile(u700) for 2yrs now and im love it,its been good to me.its just that it looses the silver touch in about 3 months if it doesnt have a cover.Other than that its GREAT even though i will change it sometime soon

  • that's easy... at the options at the camera you will find an option that has a selection of fit to MMS, 30s, 60s or unlimited... obviously, choose unlimited...

  • yes you can good luck i hopethis information was helpful

  • plz can anybody tell me that how can i make an unlimited video using the camcoder of u700.plz anybody answer. thanks

  • This should be reported to NTC here in the Philippines. I've bought this phone through credit card and I can't believe that I'm paying for a non-working/garbage phone.....It's more than a month since they're still fixing and they keep on telling that the parts is not yet delivered by SAMSUNG......Never buy any Samsung phone again

  • I've had this phone for 1 year this month and up until now there have been no problems. Like many other users of this type and similar models (U600 etc) the same faults keep resurfacing. When I slide the screen up, the image is revered, the colours altered and the touch sensitive bottons no longer work. I had the same issue with the U600 and a close friend is having this with his U700. This is a major problem in my opinion because most people cannot afford to keep buying new phones on a yearly basis. Its almost like there's something in the software that triggers the fault after one years use so that consumers will buy new phones and the latest technology. Samsung is going to shoot itself in the foot if its not careful. Their high-end phones are stunning and opperate brilliantly when they work but if they last only 1 year, is it really worth it? I for one will never buy a Samsung mobile again until they can prove that their phones last longer than a year.

  • This fone at first is good and stylish.. The camera is wonderful with 3.2MP, I have all my memorable pix with this fone. The only problem is the flex, it's really pissing me off due to ribbon problem. I have it fix 3x and the life span of the fix is just 6mos. Damn it!! Good at first but in the end the consumer suffers.. Not reccomended to addict texters, because you'll always have to use to flex the fone everytime you'll received a message.

  • i bought this phone last year august..the touch screen seem not that sensitive.. sometime it couldnt sense it.. >< the battery is not long lasting.. if u sms a lot.. it just can stand for ONE day max .. if you put on vibrate mode..half day.. lol.. i wont buy samsung phone in future...SE is the best

  • This phone started breaking down after 10 months for me... I had to get it repaired because the slide screen didnt response to anything... everytime i slid the phone open, I couldnt use the touch screen and it only works when it was closed. After getting it repaired... 2-3months after, the phone had the same problem!! but now it's even worse! because I cant use the touch screen when its open OR closed... so basically it's useless now... all i can really do is answer calls! Plus when the phone is on standby... the backlight says on... so the battery is goin to die soon... OMG!! shut a stressful phone to have!

  • Horrible phone. Damn flex. Cost me more than 5,000 pesos. My mom really duped me by giving me her old U700 when I passed in UP.

  • my U700 touch sensitive keys and the function keys are not working what seems to be the problem?

  • I love this phone

  • this is a very good phone, been using it for a year now and i havent had a single problem with it. i do take good care of my phones but i have dropped it several times and it still works perfectly well... tha only problem that i have right now is that i cant get my GPRS activated with SUN cellular, i had no problems with GLOBE and SMART but i now use my new phones for these network so im using my SUN sim for my U700 now...

  • really bad phone, even the service in Robinson Pioneer_Memo Express, need to call a lot of times for follow up and nobody is answering the phone. They also gave me cell number but if you try to call, it's not, Samsung help on this.....very very bad service

  • this phone is an absolute piece of sh#%t. dont even need to say whats wrong wit it, its pretty much the most unreliable phone ever and im goin back to sony ericsson.

  • Oh lordy, this is the worst phone I've used in my life! I spent nearly 5,000 PHP in 5 months because of this phone's damn ribbon. Samsung makes pretty but useless phones.

  • my friend had this phone before! It's very sensitive since soft touch phone/ even if he is not dialing it diled it self automatically.. after 3weeks it was broken.. Not so good for me I think!

  • Not good at all. Sent to the service centre at least 4 times within 1 1/2 years. Buy at your own inconvenience. Repairs took some time and the problem surfaced again.

  • how do i unblock a phone number?

  • its very good

  • i have the same problem.. my wallpaper was mirrored.. and the colour was all screwed up.. so i turned it off and when i switched it on... it now just appears all black, and i can't do anything.. quite disappointed.. i've had this fone just over a year.. dropped it a few times with some scratches but still worked perfectly fine.. now it is all screwed and i am not considering purchasing further samsung mobile phones because of one fault... what a shame.. nnnice looking phone though

  • the phone is very beautiful but has poor ribbon pls do as u made z400 nothing any slide sumsung like z400,I like it much than any more slide samsung.

  • i hate this fone....i wasted my money to buy this phone.......its does'nt even cut the call.....the peels on the time .......i sent it for repairs 3 times already........i hate this phone with a passionate..everyone out there plz........dnt but this phone u wasting your time and money.........

  • which format support for games in samsung sgh u700

  • have had this phone for almost two years and it is definitely NOT built to last! i have looked after my phone well, it lives in a phone sock and has never been thrown or dropped. the speakers were completely busted in a year, got that fixed and now the screen is all messed up. when i slide it out, screen pic now turns out upside down/mirror imaged then goes a funny colour and finally disappears and blackens altogether. will not be getting it fixed this time, will def get another phone, probably not another samsung!! good looking phone (apart from silver peeling on sides) but disappointing performance.

  • I have been using U700 for almost 15 months and the screen freezes and goes white, there is nothing visible when the phone is closed. It had the same problem in the fisrt 5 months and was fixed. Is there anything that can be done to avoid the freezing and peeling of the phone?

  • you can download using only the browser

  • ive got a e250 and u700. cant u guys come up with a good kind of ribbon. better get help from nokia...

  • its a vry gud fon, but i hope u can find d solution about d ribbon, almost all samsung slide fons compare 2 nokia has a vry poor quality ribbon

  • this phone are very reliable in 4 weeks after that it will put you in to mess... my phone silver coating, the flex, and sensitivity are the common head ache i experience.. but the most awful is that i dont even send message and even to call up my on beside phone. (i did this to other mobile no. disregard networks) this is truly waste of your money. if you have to invest in this kind of c.p. try not to... to humilate your self...

  • mine broke but i reallyy liked the phone though. it accually broke twice but it is working ok now!

  • how can i download games on this fone....?

  • It is a good phone, but mine has just broken and now i cant do anything at all with it. Generally a good phone though!

  • i am not satisfied with the phone samsung standard of quality is compromised with this phone, service centers are so unprofessional

  • even if you are very careful on handling your phone, i don't think that after a month that the slide was fixed it'll be damage again..I don't really recommend this phone, your money will be put to waste!

  • I like the feature of this phone but the only problem about is the ribbon of the slide, very sensitive that i've been returning my phone 4 times to fixed it..

  • good fone!!!

  • iv'e been using this fone for 8 months now..and i can see any problem..the silver finish is good..the flex is good...everything on my u700 works fine...i guess its in the user...take good care of youre fone...

  • I definitely agree on what you've all said. The flex is easily broken and this phone is really not practical :| not so satisfied of what I got. I've been owning it for a year now and I wanna replace it ASAP. Any recommendations? :)

  • this phone is a waste of time 1st the display text goes upside down then your phone screen stops working its like the 3rd time this has happend

  • wel its al most amonth am usign this fone...i jus wanted ask dat ma fone memory has still enuf space for msgs n sim dozen but instead ma fone memo being used for megs am getting the msg of "sms memo is full" is der any settings to it. plz assist. thanx

  • Sliver coat is easily peel off.I think Slide String is so easily broken.I renew this slide string for 4 times.

  • this phone really not nice. i bought this 4 months ago but the sensitivity - the connection between the slider & the keypad is already broken & need to change it. Its not so practical!!! Im a Samsung fan but i just wasted my money on this... >:- (

  • it is never a good phone trust me .. mine already busted thrice... and it falls on my birthday .. imgine you have a phone but it is equally same as not having one .. that bad.. nv buy this phone.. not sure bout the rest of samsung phones but def not this phone

  • I would not recommend this phone to anyone. It will serve u for the first 6 months and before u know it the silver coating around it will have peeled off the chrome will be faulty n infact the the select button at hte centre of the chrome wont be workin. Am headed for nokia now!

  • This phone is a total headache. It always goes haywire, even after a few days after repair! If you want a Samsung phone, I beg of you, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. Just buy the more reliable U800.

  • it depends on how u handle this phone.. its a nice phone...

  • bought this phone as it looks slick. it was a backup phone for my htc Tytyn. this phone is not quality its chrome has peeled and the touvh sensitity is too much. i will now stick to Nokia and hTC.thumbs down for this phone

  • this phone has lots of problem on software cause i had one now is broken

  • all i can say to all those who are still willing to buy this fone DON'T BUY THIS FONE!!!!!

  • thos phone is good or nt ppl plez any 1 till me i have see all the comment the half say its ok and the onther half say its suck any 1 till me case i want to get it i kknow that the worst thiong in it is the battry life and i can handel it

  • This phone is horrible!!! My dead bought me when first arrived and paid for it 400 euros after a year it is broken!

  • i think it depends on how you handle the phone..well phones will be broken easily if the person using is harsh and discordant. Just like what happens to my Samsung E250, it was in my hand for almost a year but when I gave it to my brother!damn!it broke up! he told me that he always slides up the phone even without using it and he unintentionally handed-off the phone leaving it helpless in the pavement! i think i'll try this phone!

  • hows ur phone?!

  • hows ur phone now?!

  • have u tied flashing ur u700

  • This phone has issues,it broke once.and the chrome got peeled off.next time am buying a nokia.

  • this phone has been the worst cell that was created by samsung. i want to sell the phone but no one wants to buy the cell i hate this phone with passion......................

  • I was drawn to the phone because of its features which I like but The camera does not take nice pictures. A 3.2MP camera should take excelent pics, but this camera phone dissapointed me! After a year and a half the Chrome aroung the creeen has peeled off. I would recomend this phone for someone who wants to use the phone and not the camera.

  • this phone really sucks im using one right now and its busted already

  • terrible, sen it 4 repairs 4times in one yr

  • where did you buy your phone? i think its nice i am getting one of it by next week

  • i've got this phone & its oks..

  • I agree, I bought my Samsung u700 phone 2mos.ago because I was captivated to the phone's design. However the features really suck! I can't even have themes on it. I want to purchase another handset again.

  • where did you buy your phone? why is it to quick to be broken?

  • This phone is wonderful. I have a blue one and I haven't experience any problem. Its LCD screen makes it fabulous. Buy one n see its goodness.

  • I thought I'd type in this phone into Google see what people would say about it. Well...I can say, DO NOT buy this phone! After only a few months the charger connection broke, i.e. wouldn't charge but not faulty charger(I tried 3!). Had to have it sent for repairs. A guy at work has or should I say HAD same phone. His peeled, which he put down to having keys and coins in pocket. I don't ever and mine peeled. It looks awful and old! Well a few weeks ago his broke and mine went the same way tuesday. All the keys bar the number keys do not work when phone is open! I have had it a year, maybe less but I couldn't be bothered sending it off for repair! Second fault to happen! I'll buy another one tomorrow. And NEVER another Samsung. Just goes to show, don't choose something for what it looks like!!!! Also, I had a Samsung flip phone in past, screen went after few months and my parents have a Samsung camera which eats batteries. Three shots it's flashing and switching itself off. Really disappointed cos I always thought Samsung to be a good make. Their products are stylish, but as I said looks can be deceiving!!!

  • I hear people tell me this phone spoil easily. when they use for week they need to repair. maybe i know what the problem of the phone that you all must repair. And how does the mean buttons work?touch screen?

  • The most useless phone ever!!!!!!!!!! Everyone I know who had this phone had to send it in for repairs. Also, the phoned peeled within weeks!

  • My husband has had this phone for 2 years and its been in for repairs more than its actually been used! Terrible phone! Worst one yet. Sorry.

  • Very sleek design and very attractive... but phone quality is very poor. not user-friendly. flex got destroyed already. poor signal and poor battery life

  • WOW i haven't read a single positive comment abt this phone on here... ok this is gonna be a surprise to everyone i guess, but i've had the u700 for about 6 months now and i haven't had it mess up even ONCE. i have the "pearl black" one and on the back the paint is coming off just a tiny bit but that can be fixed easily. the slide has never been a problem, and the picture quality is great! the only complain i have is probably that it's stupid that the alarm doesn't go off if the phone is on silent, and also that you can't erase words from your T9 dictionary so say you wanted to type 86 instead of "to" that one time, and you add 86 to your dictionary, from now on everytime you write "to" .. "86" comes up first. if you know what i mean. but apart from that, i love the phone. ps: basically everything electronic that is silver will eventually peel off... that's why you should stay away from silver...

  • The phone is utterly a poor phone, it all of a sudden good dead and the sound does not work and i cant hear another person when they call me...very bad phone.

  • I am having the same problem, did you figure it out?

  • I love this phone because of its design. Its so elegant. But i've sent it for repair 2 times already. First time it kept shutting down, second time the keys wont work. But the phone design is very nice.

  • Nah,I recommend that U600 is better,as its not as DELICATE as the U700.Although the chrome really flushed the ratings of the phone down by a 2 star.As matter of fact,The Samsung Ultra Edition is extremely delicate all the phones.Don't go for their sleek and beautiful design its a trap!

  • Good design, poor quality. Chrome vanished a month after use. Had it replaced at samsung. then after a few months, flex got damaged. Had it replaced also. then flex got damaged again... as of now, im on my 5th flex already.... im not sure... i lost count. then for some reason, the screen broke inside me pocket, had it replaced... little did i know that the rear camera also got busted together with screen. this is a lemon phone.

  • You've password already pefore but if you don't know try to type 1234 I Think you will find it correct

  • i really like to buy & have my own u700 but too many bad comments about this fone! so i've decided that i wont buy this fone anymore... from imus,cavite

  • its not perfect like the options on message alert tones its just exclusive tones from samsung..u cant use your own tones u downloaded...my u 700 is 1yr now and for the first 6 mos. i already brought it to repair the ribbon and now the LCD too bad huhuhu....

  • fantastic i like this phone so much

  • u700 for 1 year, 1 drop caused it not to power. since in knu sum repairs, i saw that the flex cable was damaged. im still having doubts buying replacements for the flex. to bad the 2nd hand fones are just a bucks away from the parts... sayang, ganda p nmn.

  • Were you able to activate MMS, GPRS and 3G already? Pls teach me how. Thanks!

  • How can I activate MMS using this phone? I can't receive and send pics. Thanks!

  • Pathatic, Third class phone ever. My U700 has been repaired so far 3 times. Its flex cable is so sensitive and delicated. As u moveup the slide flex cable also moves that time. Sending too much messages can damage its flex cable again and again because of the up,down of Slide... So never buy this phone. Try not to buy Slideable mobiles. Always buy friendly and simple mobiles instead, i have wasted lot of money on this. ITs chrome on both sides has also vanished totally.

  • you can never ever trust manufacturers to repair your phone that you bought from them. might as well try to do it yourself. like mine for instance, i have the same problem but since Nokia 7650, the problem with slide up phones is the flex cable. I gambled to purchase the part from ebay since greenhils tends to overprice everything. 14 days passed, got the item, installed it and it works perfectly fine. So if you have a slide up phone try to treat it with extra care when sliding it up or down. The flex cable is so delicate, paper is much tougher!

  • You can replace the flex cable. It may be torn./ Got it from ebay for GBP 6.00 or more. With tools to open the phone yourself.

  • i've had this phone for almost 2 years now and have already taken it for repairs twice. i have 2 take it for repairs again.the silver is coming off again and it will switch off& on in the middle of a pone call. can anyone tell me how to activate the video calling on this phone. i tried doing it but i couldnt. i'm due for an upgrade but i still LOVE my phone.

  • this model of phone is so disappointing.. i had spent much money because of repairs.. i had spent 5,000 for repairs only.., gosh!! i shud hav not brought this phone to repair.., i shud hav bought new phone!! better and with high quality that never break easily..

  • You can stop the beeping and binging whenever you touch a key by putting it into silent mode. (Hold the # key).

  • aiyayayayai........if it werent for the picture quality this phone has, i wuld have graded it a 1 star out of 5, its as if the phone is addicted to repairs....... i had it sm time back n all i can say is that the repair shop has spent more time than i have my phone it the worst product samsung has ever come up with this is a total nightmare.......DONT, NEVER......NEVER ever think of geting this phone,,its awaste of money!!!!

  • i had my u700 last december..after 3 months its been repair by samsuns mobile here. it repairs almost a month.the lcd is black. but touchscreen is still working.its a bad cellphone i ever had. so much ..im very dissapointed.i will rank it as two star over five.

  • Can the touch pad be replaced. I had my u700 4 5 months and the sender died. Can it be fix or replace

  • i am having this phone 4 10 month and i sent it 2 the service 2 times and now the touch screen not working at all and the screen is not working suddenly became black screen

  • i hav my u700 4 18months and the ok button keeps getting stuck. Took it 2 virgin 2 b repaired again(3rd time). Am sooo disappointed with this fone bcaus i really like it.

  • i bought this phone immediately it came out. good graphics, but the external quality is very poor.it's quite strong though.

  • great but i dont know how to use the usb or internet and i cant send or recive pictures help me please??

  • This phone it has really bad touchscreen indeed, bad battery, low graphic menu, but the way that take's the photos and the clarity of the pictures is absolutely amazing....they look like postcards. Really....even if it has only 3.2 camera! I couldn't believe it! And for this I forgive everything that is bad at this phone. And I must say that I will regret the money that I spent on the SGH G600....Jesus it has the worst camera ever! I was very "smart" by replacing the SGH U700 with SGH G600 and now I have to get used to blurry photos instead those postcards mentioned 3 rows above. It sucks... :(

  • fantastic

  • excellent classy phone unique,stylish,easy too use

  • Power button?

  • What is Gmask?

  • This phone sucks!!!I have been using it for 9 months and I have sent it for service 2 times!!!Now I am waiting to send it to me for the 2nd time and I'm going to ask for a refund!!!!!Don't even think about buying this phone!!!!!!!In my point of view, it's one of the worst mobile phones!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have had this phone for 18 months and I still can't find where you stop it going "bing" everytime you hit any key (to do anything).The manual says nothing about how to stop this. I have spent many hours trying to find out how to do it.

  • How can i put music on my u700? i tried putting music on my phone via the pc suite i got with my phone, but then it asks for a pin? i dont know what pin? can anyone please help me? thanks!

  • I hate this phone, I have only had it for 5mths and 2 days ago the touch screen has died or not working, I can't even get into the stupid menu screen. From the beginning the touch screen was totally frustrating, if u even went near it, it would go all crazy like it had a mind of its own and enter into like 3 screens. I could never navigate it properly and now after reading all the comments I don't even think I should bother going back to the store I bought it from to get it repaired. I tried to send a msg with the phone today, it took me like 10 mins to send it, I just want to throw this against a wall! What a waste of money!!!!!

  • This is covered by warranty now. :) Yay!!

  • EVERYONE!!! GREAT NEWS! Chrome peeling IS covered by warranty, Samsung said the first few batches were faulty, but take it to your dealer and they will replace the front for you!! :D So happy, i love my phone!!!!!!!

  • can i have the codes too boost my audio volume

  • are the themes can be customized?

  • i want to put a password on my sms inbox, but everytime i type the eight zeros (0) still 'incorrect password' what should i do?

  • Try using one of these two codes to improve sound level [increase ear gain if u may]. either; *#8999*8378# or; *#0206*8378# just type them in after you unlock. if the codes work, the last four digits before the # [8378], will become ---- example; you will see *#8999*----#instead of all the digits you entered.

  • I find this phone so elegant looking, so feminine so i bought one two weeks ago. I find it so difficult to use the touch keys, so sensitive that it just do its own thing. While in the midde of organize my pix, it would just return to the wallpaper so many times, until i become so tired of repeating commands, that i stopped using it for a while coz i might throw it against the wall ggrrrrr. I've been so careful handling this phone coz it seemed so delicate. And now am trying to transfer my music from my PC to this phone, but i couldnt, anybody who can help me, please email me at [email protected].

  • I have two times repared the tape and it's not working again, also not recomended from me to have a Samsung U700 and the screen touch butons are to sensisitive which make you nervous. No radio possibility.

  • i bought this phone for just 4 months from now and i got a problem with the flex

  • function ok price ok mirror is the best, my advise u should put on screen protector.result can avoid scratch also sensor on the screen..too sensitive superb slim overall ok ^_^

  • I read the comments about the colour wearing off and the scratching of the screen.. thats why i got my U700 in black and not silver .. i have had it for 10 months now and i have no complaints at all except for the pc studio which i found easier when i had the D600 and that this phone is not loud enough which is common in all samsung phones.. there are codes to get it louder but the ones i tried didn't work for the U700 so maybe there are other codes... but i recommend getting this phone if you are planning to treat it well cause it is not the kind of phone that recieves a big fall and still be ok like the D600... best of luck xxx

  • the phone is a problem everyone is complaining about it. it needs to be taken for repairs now and then. i would not advise anyone to buy the phone

  • It's a great mirror, but definitely wouldn't recommend it if you need a phone.

  • it's battery not longer....now i hv to buy extra one...if one is no more charge i hv to change another////

  • i dont recommend it for heavy usage, battery dies within a day or a two hour call, and the sound is very low that u cant hear it if ure in a noisy place,peels off quickly,and if ure having a call and another call is waiting the phone answers it as ur face touches the buttons but the camera is good though

  • Appalling phone. 1) to unblock the keypad you push the centre button twice, which means you call people from your pocket all the time. 2) the touch sensitive keys are awful to use. 3) the scroll wheel is useless, slow 4) the camera is slow to take a picture 5) it's impossible to see the screen when there's even a little bit of sun and the real shocker: 6) the screen is pathetically delicate. I was careful with mine and it still broke within a month. I haven't had it repaired. They said it had been hit and would cost 70 euros to repair. I told them to throw it in the bin. Samsung used to be good, but this phone is terrible.

  • This is truly the worse phone I've ever had.Silver peels off , audio is shot , and now the screen is totally dead.Avoid this rubbish at all costs...

  • Battery can't stand for one day.

  • I guess you want to use your phone as modem to connect to the internet. Well its easy just install the application from your CD. When done select the networking wizard and follow the instruction. My connection speed here is 230 kbs not bad.

  • well it all depends of the user i have this phone for five months and it is all fine only the camera light is damaged a little bit but the rest is good.......i just repeat you got to be very careful.......it alllll depends of user...lejla 13years

  • the worst handset i hav eva had the touch screen is pathetic i will neva recommend it to any1 the keypads gets frozen cant use it 4 mxit

  • i must say that the samsung U700 is utter rubbish, i had this fone for 3months and i am doing a office job i bearly put it in ma pockets yet the paint job keeps rubbing off, I JUST BOUGHT A N80 and trust me NOKIA OUTLAST SAMSUNG BY FAR!!!!!

  • U700. that is the most compatible phone i ever seen.

  • chrome finish started to peel off immediately after i purchased it sometime August 2008.. i lost the audio last sunday...dont know why...ohh crap

  • I bought this phone for my wife and that was 7 months ago, until now its good as brand new, everything works as it should be, no chipping of its paint...etc, in short we didn't experience any of you guys problems, so far it serve us well, internet is good, photo is great as well, though the sound is not that loud compared to my N81 when playing mp3 files using built in speakers but it is crisp and nice. The main drawback I have with this phone for this price range is that it cannot play FM, so overall I would give phone a 9/10

  • I bought this phone on August last year..(just 6 months ago!) The camera was very good.. I love it! but I'm so regret now because the speaker was not function and must be prepared..

  • hi.my mom's daughter have this samsung u700 n purple color and the phone is great but i like my own samsung f330 than this...

  • Let me illustrate the problems that have occurred with this phone since it was purchased at the beginning of my contract. 1) Finish begins to wear off immediately, despite me spending R100 on a special cases to protect the phone. 2) Buttons stopped working 3) Lights stopped working 4) Phone would not switch on -phone was repaired I bought another more expensive case to protect the phone better for R160 (Repair time-2weeks) 5) Finish wore off again 6) USB functionality ceased 7) Phone stopped charging -phone was repaired and I was charged +-R300 except for usb functionality. I spent +-R200 on a bluetooth adapter as a work around 8) Finish wore of AGAIN! 7) Phone stopped emitting sound - Phone sent for repair again (repair time - two weeks and counting)

  • I bought my brandnew U700 last sept 2008, after 6 months the revolving navigator at the middle part stopped functioning. The audio was also a problem. Whenever I make a call the receiving party could not hear me. I returned it to the store where I bought it and I have to wait for a week. I wont buy Samsung anymore.

  • dis phone dus rili sucks! i min very useles it can easily b broken or damage specialy d slide. even if sm1 wil giv me a free u7 il not t8k it because it suks big time. i tink ol of samsung fone sucks! dont buy samsung fones bcos uil regret it!

  • hi.. im philippines.. pls teach me on how to open or register internet in my phone (U700)..just email me at [email protected],plsssss tnx so much

  • E-bay is probly the best place??

  • i had teh u6oo phone first. and buy teh new u7oo after a month. ye now why? bec. u6oo sucks more than the u7oo. thats it!

  • this phone needs to be kept in a biscuit container. it looks nice,but when u use it, it begins to crumble.

  • i had this phone last year and so far so good.. the sounds is great.and the camera Love it... i don't find any hassle using this phone... remember guys:..every expensive phone needs extra care...Goodluck

  • i have seen this fone...its really nice and i m gtg to buy it..i didnt c any electronic pb in it except the screen which can be alright according to the care..

  • I'm going to buy Samsung so... Can U tell me which one is better, D900i, U600, U700 ? They R all same price, about 125 Euro. Thanks !

  • It's because its the worst samsung (and the first of their bad ones) made, good luck resolving issues...(very little hope tho)

  • Most stupid phone ever - especially the silly touch-buttons and the latency between pressing a touch-button and the response from the phone. This phone is sooooo being thrown against a wall...

  • you shud buy this fone..it's great!!

  • it's a great phone..no doubt about it..

  • Yeah...

  • how do you find this mobile ???

  • How does one connect to the internet using a laptop and the U700 as a 3G broadband modem??

  • this phone is great i used it for almost 8 months and until now its working good, i think the life of phone depend to the user...u better take care of your phone nokia or samsung its all desame..

  • I think you should buy this phone but there is one question i must ask you, what country do you live?

  • The quality of the actual phone is really bad. i by mistake touched the screen with my nail, and the paint came off. Now everything is scratched and it is hard to see my screen and my phone has gone white all around it. Bad material used, dont buy, waste of money!!

  • i cant access internet on this phone

  • i think this phone is falling below expectations i bought mine lesss than a month it could not connect to the network it is just beautiful but not efficeint you better buy a nokia.

  • Definitely the worst phone by Samsung by far.Had mine for less than a week and had it repaired by Samsung so many times that they eventually gave up and supplied me with a brand new G600 after 6months of struggling.Opinion? Don't buy this phone.

  • please do not buy this phone.other wise u will spend your money for nothing.I've got this phone 6 months ago.screen has a serious problems.I can not call and receive the calls.but i can login to internet.when i try to call immediatly shows me END CALL.and option have been changed when i try to go to options i see this sign for all options ~~~~~.please what can i do?

  • What carrier are you using? Call your carrier and make sure its 3G frequency is 2100 MHz, T-Mobile is 2100 MHz 3G, I do not know about AT&T. You can try setting it up in GSM only mode.

  • oh my goD!although the camera is very good/but i think it doesn't have the capability to open pix/videos coming from the other phone for example n70/because i really experienced that/all of the files that i've been transfered were unsupported files/

  • I see I am not the only one having problems with this phone. In spite of the tender loving care I give my U700(my daughter is not even allowed to look at it!), the screen keeps going black I have sent it back to the supplier three time and I am getting ready for yet another trip this evening... I am back to my hardy three year old Samsung E310 that has never let me down - this one my daughter is allowed to touch. Samsung, please recall this phone. It is giving you a bad name.

  • pdf viewer is installed in the firmware and as themes you could use z400 themes ... good phone

  • Plz tell me, which file type does this phone support for both games and applications. I've downloaded some files of JAD, JAR, and SIS types and tried to install them but a message pops up saying "unsupported file formate".

  • This phone sucks. Have to fix it every two months!!! I will never use samsung again. LOW LOW QUALITY INDEED.

  • This is a bad phone. Less than 6 months and the screen did a mirror-image stunt on me, turned monotone-blueish in colour and images kept repeating itself (like what you'll see after you've won a Solitaire game on your Windows).

  • The phone is great, it has everything, except FM RADIO!!! Why????!!! Damn!!!!!

  • How come my phone says "no service" but the reception bar is at full length? I can't make any calls or receive any calls but I can serve the net. Can anyone help me please?

  • pls dont buy this phone!! it is meant for the repairshop.

  • ive'd been using this stupid bnew phone for less than 4month's and i agree its more on repair my first repair was the slide up wont lock when its up.. 2nd the slide up again it wont go up -_- 3rd slide up & LCD

  • i had my u700 repaired for 4x! and now i give up! im planning to buy another fone, this time not a slide-up. i was traumatized. but i miss my u700 so much! the 3.2 MP camera is really great! i even prefered using u700's cam rather than my digicam. another thing, the sound is not that loud.. but all in all.. i love this fone so much! too bad it was already wrecked!

  • This is the worst phone ever. Been in the workshop more than I have had it at home. All my friend with this phone have exactly the same problems ith it as I do!

  • it has only look grace but not good in work.

  • i got thi phone last october, and last friday, my gosh.. im very disppaointed... i never expected this phone.. after the someone who called me up, the image just went like mirror, and oh.. its totally wreck.. its already in the shop right now, i dont know if it will be fixed..

  • why what happened?? i have this cp now

  • When I received this phone, I liked it. But a month later, I had to send it in for repairs. A month after that, again for repairs. Two months after that, again.. and guess what happened 3 weeks after that? Yes, repairs again. Now it has been 5 months without any problems. I am getting the LG KU990 today and I am so glad that I am getting rid of this crap. It is the worst phone ever! Do not get this ever!

  • lol mind you i did that once and i broke the top bit of the slide lmaooo

  • U700 should be used as a camera.. I cannot count the times that I wanted to punch it right in the middle of its screen. Worst mobile phone ever

  • i've had this phone for .. a year or so. now... sometimes whenever i call, it won't connect but go straight to "call ended" and it's not because i don't have service either. also, for text messages, i'll send the text msg and it says that it didn't send, but it did. O___O anyone else with this problem?

  • dis is my phone ryt now;;its so nice kaso nga lng mejo sensitive sya kasi bglang ngcrack ung LCD nia and its so hard to find an available LCD to dis handset;it took me a year before maging ok sya;;well diko narin sya ngmt i bought a new one na..;'(

  • I just recent placed a feedback dated 05/01/2009 and let me tell you.....WTF!!!! my phone is yet again getting all fuzzy and its coming black sometimes..it only means one thing... I NEED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN!!!WTF!!! THIS PHONE HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL however its really pissing me off because regardless of how careful you use it you end up repairing it again!!! its too delicate..so its not so handy.. I MEAN WHAT SHOULD I DO?? THIS IS B*LLCRAP!!! I HATE THIS PHONE.. SO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE..YEP YOUR USING IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND ITS RUNNING SMOOTHLY prepare because approximately on your 11th month you'll be bringing it to a service center already..

  • same as mine im not going to even bother fixing the flex after what you said im just going to leave it like that samsung is useless this is how it started. first my screen went all fuzzy like a televison signal had problems then it started changing colurs like purple then the screen went back to front and changed to blue colur then purple and now its blank black picture im getting light and sound but no picture like wtf!!! what if you were stranded in the middle of nowhere your mobiles your thing you need when going out whats with mobiles today!!

  • Holds 420 SMS texts on the phone itself. It's great, apart from the silver peeling off. I am in love with it!!!

  • Hey... if I buy this phone can i download games from pc and then send it to phone? (JAVA GAMES)

  • I bought that phone on the on January 4th 2009 and i am impressed. Great Touch-Screen function. Great Pictures backround and great 3.2 Megapixel Camera. Those who made it, did a great Job.

  • stop complaining about the silver that peels off... every silver phone peels, and maybe this is one of the extreme cases. Buy the black phone. I have been using it for a month now and the skin and screen are still the same. Great phone!! You just have to be careful with it just like another slide phone

  • this fone is a piece of sh*t! i have this fone for a about a year.. and in about 1 month, the silver peels off! samsung should have not put the silver peeling because its totally useless! and in about 8 months, the flex ribbon breaks! i had replaced it and after less than a week, it breaks again, then i returned it because the flex has warranty.. then after few days, it breaks again, then i return, after an hour it breaks again then i return, after few minutes it breaks again! the technician is totally pissed off with this fone, and so am I totally pissed off! its a waste of tym, effort and money! I do not recommend this fone! Nokia still rocks the celphone technology! now ive got my n82 for about 8 months, and it's totally complete! great camera, video recording, easy for applications, themes, no hung ups and great quality! it's worth it for your money! unlike this piece of sh*t! totally crap!

  • this fone is a piece of sh*t! i have this fone for a about a year.. and in about 1 month, the silver peels off! samsung should have not put the silver peeling because its totally useless! and in about 8 months, the flex ribbon peels off! i had replaced it and after less than a week, it breaks again, then i returned it because the flex has warranty.. then after few days, it breaks again, then i return, after an hour it breaks again then i return, after few minutes it breaks again! the technician is totally pissed off with this fone, and so am I totally pissed off! its a waste of tym, effort and money! I do not recommend this fone! Nokia still rocks the celphone technology! now ive got my n82 for about 8 months, and it's totally complete! great camera, video recording, easy for applications, themes, no hung ups and great quality! it's worth it for your money! unlike this piece of sh*t! totally crap!

  • Had this fone for 10 months the camera is great an the interface is beautiful but its rlly fragile an the silver will strip of but i will look ok when its all gone. The internet is great though. I'm actually browsing on it rite now.

  • Yeeeessss samsung U700 is coool,i mean it just goes with who i am.This phone is sweet,beautiful and fragile.Thank you samsung this phone rocks.

  • i just don't understand why buy the phone if you going to complain about it.Well yes it is a sensitive phone for sensitive people, if you can handle it do not buy it.I simply just love my phone.

  • I have had this phone under a year now and I dont love it. Yes all the silver peeled off, but once its all gone it looks ok, but the touch buttons are so damn sensitive! always putting people on hold or sending blank texts! The camera is awesome and I really like the functionality - but the touch screen kills it! Also, my screen just disapeared, Samsung replaced it but I am upgrading! Have used Samsung before and I really love them but this phone definitely has some flaws - I dont recomend it.

  • Hi Any body tell me about this phone how many msgs are safe in this mobile.

  • I have had the U 700 for 7 mths,but now the LCD cant show.The design and its functions are cool...too badd.Trying to get an LG

  • I like samsung u700 it real rocks

  • tis phone sux. not particularly outstanding in features, and it attracts fingerprints easily. had it just under a year, accidently dropped it while sleeping on the bed, and the touch buttons died.

  • I like the clarity of the photos..looks like it was taken by a DSLR, PROVIDED that there is good lighting HOWEVER! ribbon/flex easily breaks..mine was broken twice.. my second flex was replaced by samsung warranty AUGUST 2008 and was defective by DECEMBER 2008. phone's coating easily peels off..and if you buy a new one it costs you another phone..geezz.. poor video quality..really poor..like it was taken by a VGA camera...lots of pixelating but other than that great speakers (indoor) great music - bass plays nice w/ the earphones battery is pretty sensitive.. if I am given the chance to take my money back..I would'nt buy this phone..i'll opt to an open faced phone by nokia..

  • slim phone but to soft for a man...........

  • this cellphone sucks dude... ihad this thing but the ribbon of it is easy to be break ;so that i cannot view the display of it;... wtf///... this cellphone.. ..sucks.....;

  • In Hungary they replaced the cover within warranty if the silver part peels off. mine started peeling off after two months, I had it replaced and no propblem ever since.. new series must be better..:)

  • they make good tv's. stop you complaining. loser.

  • I have had this phone just over 12 mnts and the screen has blanked out. Absolutely disgusted with the quality of Samsung and will not use any products from this company in the future.

  • hey, I have had this fone for 8 months now and I cant complain, those guys who went for silver should get a black fone in their next buy coz silver tends to peel off irrespective of the make of the fone....owise my black U700 is the best piece I have ever acquired.

  • Hey guys!!!can anybody tell how to install themes on this brand of phone?people told me that i cant install themes but i have already seen installed theme,its really weird

  • hey i have a u700 too and im a well familliar with it,this problem may be caused by a full memory or if not a restart will solve it

  • If your warranty has expired contact Samsung direct. This is a manufacturing defect and they will re-house if for free.

  • How do you fix my Samsung U700? It can only make emergency calls now.

  • I love my phone! I have mine Dec 2008, already a year. I like it as a touch phone. I already look for a follow up phone, it must also be a Samsung touch phone!!

  • U700 good but ribbon problem, Kindly advice me to solve the problem day by day.

  • hi there,,just wanna ask,i had a poblem with this phone, because everytime i use the rear camera,it appears Error, Capture Failed! help me solve this problem.??? thank you:)

  • i agree, it's how you take care of this phone. if you want a phone that will last really long, buy a thick nokia with the yellow light screen (3210)

  • so crap.. pabalik balik ako sa greenhills daming problema sa fon na to. hay. traumatic ang pagbili ko nito. whew

  • i dont know why you guys are always complaining about this mobile phone... i dont think that it was awarded the best product of 2007-2008 by EISA for nothing. If you do not take care of ANY product by ANY brand... it will obvisously not work the way you want it to, but if you do take care of it, it will last.

  • yes i own a black one and it is super great... no problems at all so far touch wood

  • it so hard to access the internet.what i don't like on my phone is that the sound is not that loud as with Motorola and Nokia.

  • To browse on the internet, you must first enter a homepage url.

  • When you buy this phone, also buy a screen protector because the screen can sometimes scratch easily. Other than that, this phone is awesome.

  • Don't buy silver colour because the silver paint is peeling, but you should buy the pearl black edition, it's not like the silver models...

  • y cant i browse in the internet with my u700??? what shall i do?? pls help me... tnx,,

  • I just don't get it!!! Some are saying: This phone is a rubbish. 1st the touch buttons don't work well, then it freezes, after that the screen goes black & the speaker doesn't work... If u r smart enough, the problem appears to be with the whole part of the top slider of the phone. Thus your flex cable was beginning to broke until its totally broken into 2 pieces!!.. just replace the flex and take better care of it. don't slide it hard. be gentle and it u won't experience those problems. its a sliding phone, like every other brand u will encounter those problems if u do not take care of it.

  • hey does anyone know how to replace the housing for this phone?? especially with the front shiny mirror like surface. mine has lots of small scratches and its kinda irritating lol~ any help would be awesome, thanks^^ - no matter what anyone says, this phone rocks, hehe

  • gmask gallery.. if u dont like designs, have it transparent..

  • xtian the link you provided for the firmware upgrade is not working. Can you upload it somewhere else pls.. Thanks!

  • anyone can help me i have to know if this u700 exists in colo black anyone knows anything about it?

  • Does this phone have a tv out?

  • Tell me how you peeled the silver (gold) off all the sides? What material did you use for removing it? Whatever I tried, the remainings of the gold (or silver) can't be removed.

  • elow.. juz wanna ask if transparent gmask is o.k. to use...??? where could I buy dat??? and how much??? tnx.... pls do answer my questions... tnx... gud day and thank you ahead

  • i love u700.. dnt have probs with the touchpad so far.. the silver on the side peeled off so i peel off all the sides and its grey now and looks even better. if u have problems with the silver peeling off, try gmask to protect the phone from peeling, u can select depending on your tastes , anyway u can have it transparent gmask.

  • no 4gb?

  • wtf can't you just reply a simple question without talking bs

  • it can hold sd card up to 2 meters square size.

  • it is the most disgustin phone in the world. even the samsung department is not ready to help. very poor service

  • this fone? I had this fone last october.. but now i already dispatch this one..I hated the soft keys, it did not respond quickly.. I need to touch it trice b4 it will respond! its very irritating! after a month, I brought this to the repair shop beacause you cant anything on the screen it was totally blackout! I pay 1000php just for that so decided to bought a new cellphone.. goodbye samsung!

  • mr clark? bluetooth? go to network setting and then you'l see what you are looking for

  • So you can get the cover replaced for free if the sides chip??? is this covered by warranty?

  • A 2GB Micro SD card lol nothing else.

  • I have this phone for about a year now. So far, this phone is okay. I only had one problem recently because the sensor keys didn't respond. But it was already repaired and it now works fine. If ever you want to buy this phone, try to ask if they are giving or if they have warranty for the phone;). The only thing I hate about this phone is that the silver shiny part beside the sensor keys is already peeling off - after 8 months or so it will start peeling off what a turn off - ! It looks very odd. But the phone itself has nice features and so far - nice mp3 player, camera's okay not that excellent but not that poor too, messaging is okay i guess, hmmmm... what else... The problem I have stated above is the only problem I have encountered with this phone. Oh and don't be too hard on the sensor keys. Haha. If it's not responding, try to be a little gentle - not toooooooo gentle. *If ever you are wondering how to cover the peeling thing, I just want to suggest, try g-mask-ing it :>. Although I have not tried it yet, I would just like to suggest it and if ever you have g-mask-ed it, would you mind showing me a picture so that I can see what it looks like? Haha.

  • You just go to the settings. Its the last icon at the bottom right. Then you go to network settings. Then you'll find the settings for bluetooth. If you're planning to send some music or any file via bluetooth, you click the circle thing in the middle of the "click-wheel" (i dunno what you call that thing) then you find the option "send via" then when you click that, it will ask you if you would like to send it through bluetooth, and if you do, just click yes and then they will automatically turn on your bluetooth if its off. Just don't forget to turn your bluetooth off (through the settings etc) so that you'll have less chances of getting virus/es/ ;) Hope that helps!

  • what is the largest sd card this mobile can hold? thx

  • the U700 cell funtion too slow spcly when we disconnect the call.i read U700 manual the talk time is max 6hr but within 3hr cell will be off.thnks

  • Type in some four digits and also ask the other fellow also to type in the same four digits. Now the two decives would pair and from next time on these two phones turst eachother and can have hassle free bluetooth activity. This is to ensure that both phones are aware thtat they are transmitting/ recieving data from a know fellow.

  • hi . if ask u a code, put a 4 number code for example 0000 and then will ask u to connect with the oher device. and put the same code on the other device and press ok and u are ready to use it

  • this phone is honestly a piece of junk. when you buy it, everything seems to go well until a few weeks or months later when the touch screen is unresponsive, the paint chips off. buy at your own expence

  • I have had my phone for 1 and a half years now,I already sent it in for repairs on the buttons as they stopped responding,now today my screen started giving problems,it just goes black,and sometimes the screen turns up side down and turns a funny purple color!I mean c'mon!!!!!SAMSUNG IS DISSAPOINTING ME!!!

  • I have just returned this phone back to the catalogue. I bought it last december just before xmas and within the last few weeks the touch screen stopped responding and then last week it completely stopped responding so none of the buttons would work at all. Also the colours on the screen had a blue tint to them, and worst of all the screen was back to front!!! I wont be buying a touch screen phone again lol not very impressed with samsung anymore to be honest.

  • good luck to you all if u own the silver coating u700, soon or later u will ready n standby to repair,

  • yes, no problem to me. u still can talk while chaging

  • I just sent my U700 to 2nd time repair, Yes u r rite, black cover r better then the silver one at les the black one less problem.

  • can someone please tell me if you can use the mobile while it is charging??? Thxx

  • can i used my download ring tones as my message tones coz i cant hear my message alert when somebody texting me....and why does everytym someone's calling me i cant hear it enough eventhough its in the highest level i find it harder when my rotater is malfuntioning....i cant rotate it properly it's useless..... i though U700 is great but there's a lot of problem in this unit kindly dissapointed

  • if you buy the black one is better i think... the problem is with the silver ones

  • well thanks. well i got yhe memory card bt prhaps it can't hold more data.

  • hi there, im just new here ..can u please give me an idea regarding samsung u-700.. i just have a new one & im not that particular regarding the features of the fone.just want to have a brief background on how to easily use it, i think the keypad is too sensitive but as I cann see other features are good. tanx 4 d help in advance..

  • Cool, thank you very much. I went to vodafone yesterday who told me that the peeling is covered under warranty in some circumstances? that seems strange they would cover it, but good if they do!!

  • yes, you can use the mp3s as ur ringtone but not for your message tones. well, unfortunately, i own a silver u700 and honestly, its just 2 months, but its silver is now peeling off. but other specifications are great. especially the camera.

  • Can you use mp3 tracks for your ringtones on this phone? Have many people had problem with the silver coating peeling off? I hear this is a bad fault??

  • Me too, i have a problem with the sensitive button. you need patience when using this phone. but the other features are good.

  • dont by the phone is only 7 monthe old and it already give problems with the charging on the side and the battery didnot last for 1 day must charge it every day CRAB CRAB CRAB DONT BUY

  • THIS PHONE SUCKS!!! i am using it right now! i can NOT go on the internet, send pictures, or email. its really terrible. i mean the only thing iss great is the camera (both) but i mean really, otherthan that, it sucks the battery sucks too!

  • the reason why it turns side ways or whatever is because you have to take the picture side ways... turn your phone sideways (memory stick slot is on the top side)... i hope you understand what i am talking about...

  • hi the sim icon on the upper screen means that there is memory card inside your phone it flashes when its reading. as for the messages mine can hold 500 but you must have a lot of data in your phone. hope that helped.

  • This phone is reply good at the out ward appearance and the phone give people problems and it seems as if the phone is ahving a technical proble as it always freeze

  • yes get the black one but ill give you some rules. dont slide the phone up and down really hard do it softly and gentle i mean it coz i did it hard and my flex broke, buy a case for the casing because it will still peel off always update software because theres always something wrong with each one hope it helps have fun with your u700

  • do not buy touch senesitive buttons are really..........................................­................................................­............ annoying you have to see it to belive it.

  • im planning on buying this u700. my mom will by it in china. but i have read many negative comments about this phone so im quite confused whether to buy this model or not. im worried about the touch sensitive button what so ever that your talking about. pls give be some advise or feedbacks about this sensitive buttons.. im worried of encountering the same probs with others. im thinking of buying a black one coz many are saying that the silver one's easily peels of. tnx in advance. im waiting for your reply.

  • this is not a touch screen phone is it?? why is there someone who posted saying that this phone's touch screen is horrible? pls post your real opinions about this phone because im thinking of buying this one. tnx..

  • i rather choose the u700 because of its 3g compatibility. easy to use, a user friendly phone.

  • I had the same problem explained earlier, phone color has gone with in very short period. Also with very careful use i had to replace its ribbon twice, other than that i think this is really nice phone as far as facilities concern, it has almost all the features you need.

  • this mobile looks nice for the first week...thenn it starts to loose its color...even the touch srcreen is horrible !!dont recommend this mobile

  • its crap

  • slide ribbon wire crack and then totally cut so the connection to the screen has gone.... i would say this phone is not good. aside from its mirror color fading or removed in just couple of days. not to buy this unit.

  • this phone should start being discontinued because its a really bad phone!!!

  • haw many yrs you use it?

  • okay. the phone was awesome while it lasted. i used it for about maybe 1 year. i had pearl black and i had no paint pealing problem at all. i would've used the phone for longer period of time, but it did break on me. the flex broke ultimately i couldn't even turn it on. it's a decent phone. sexy design. if you're in canada, you dont get a great reception. i do recommend u600 instead of u700 though. cheaper, and better reception. you also get the white theme color choice and not to mention font size choice which is nice. u700 is limited to theme/font. other than that it's okay. heck, i dont recommend slide phones in general actually. flex breaks easy. really easy. your choice though. it's not as bad as everyone else says. just take good care of it when you buy it.

  • some comments abouts this phone are good some are not but majority of the comments says that this is a worst phone? please help me guys.....

  • i want to buy this phone because it is attractive and it is a cool and stylish phone....but when i read all the comments i don't know if i buy it or not because of the comments...are you all sure that this phone is the worst? please give me an advice so that i will not waste my money.....please reply thank you

  • this is very beutiful mobile

  • Really bad the cover lost its colour after 2 weeks of very careful use... the touch screen is horrible , dials and disconnects alone , and sometimes when u need to disconnect it takes you ages before u're able to do so !!! sorry to say but its really bad

  • in comprison b/w u700 & u600, which one would u recommend?

  • r u sure it's good to bye u700,others comment don't allow that........

  • the phone s very nice becoz the slide is easily be destroy and pls DON'T BUY! THANK YOU!

  • you told us about u 700 is so great right,but do you think why all of these people have problems with this phone?

  • after 3/4 year the screen broke down ..

  • the paint is bad for this mobile and also 3 monthes the silder flat cut , so i ut it now in trach , DON`T BUY IT PLEAS FOR ALL

  • it`s very bad mobile it`s only 3 monthes and the falt for slider is cut so i but it in trach

  • My opinion is dont get it, the touch screen is really annoying, it connects to internet and dials people without me even knowing. when trying to take pics in the sunlight is all you can see is yourself in the "mirror". i have had to replace my cover twice in 6 months due to "chipping". Not recommended by me, i regret getting it as do a couple of friends who have this phone.

  • How much memory can this phone take

  • How big a memory card can this phone push

  • hey gays;iam soooooooooo confuesed about this phone coz i want to get it but iam no have any desishion until now so please gays any 1 help me please!plz answer me

  • ive taken care of this phone so much its still in its casing and in a plastic case and still it disobeys me it doesnt matter you can kick/throw a phone around and should be ok its a mobile phone itll happen accidentally out of nowhere

  • yes it breaks easily since u place it in tight places and let it snap when u slide it down or up...those t.v programs cheat u by the way actors handle their phones...then u follow them and snap your slide or flip ups,...

  • This is the cheapest 3.G HSDPA handset around with a huge 3.2mpx camera...nokias 6220c wont even come close...since i was looking for a 3G HSDPA camera phone...then this is your choise...

  • Don't be fooled by its looks... The problem with U700 and other slide phones is the flex (brakes easily). My U700's flex last only for 6 mos then I would have to replace it with a china manufactured flex. Now my phone is a unslidable u700. Do yourself a favor: DONT BUY THIS PHONE

  • I just got my U700. I like it, looks elegant n classy. But there's something after capturing photo, the results are always shown upside down (rotated to right). I've searched n tried to change the settings. But it's always same. Does somebody know what happened and what I should do?

  • I own a U700. This is an amazing phone. The camera is great and the video is amazing. Phone features are also great. I would recommend this phone for people of all walks of life.

  • i have my u700 last month.. but now.. i encountered problems almost everyday.. whenever i slide my phone the screen turn to black.. and the touch screen thing.. it didin't work well..i hope this will work.. i wasted my money.. :( is there someone who can help me for this? please.. thanks.. :(

  • my phone was 2 months old. but i encountered problems almost everyday.. i wasted my money on this stupid phone.! don't ever buy this. it will only give you problems! :(

  • i think u shoud buy u700

  • Yes it does have bluetooth

  • i got samsung sgh u700 for about two daysbut when i use it its auesome can't you belive it what i saw on my screen i saw a feature wallpaper compered to nokia because nokia wallpaper dosen't move at all. SO isuggest you should buy this model because it is a auesome model. SO GO FOR IT SAMSUNG.

  • I'm from Southeast Asia and this is my bad experience with my Samsung U700. I got mine last Apr 08 and i had no problem until last week when i can not hear ringing and the voice from the other line everytime i placed a call. The yesterday, the camera won't load and a message "camera fail" appeared on screen. I turned off the phone hoping the phone resets itself after I will turn the power on again. But when I long pressed the power button, the phone won't power up. I thought maybe the battery's drained so I charged it. The phone display indicated a charging status and after a while indicated that the battery has been fully charged. Now when I tried again to power up the phone, it simply won't respond. Totally blank screen and a dead phone is all i got. What might seem to be the problem with this phone? Anyone having an answer?

  • yup. its bluetooth works perfectly with nokia, i dont know, their interface looks very much the same. its a bit slow with sony, i havent tried in other phones yet though. the bluetooth stereo sounds awesome as compared to nokia. you just have to buy a wireless headset or a cooler look

  • your flex is broken. i think you brutally slides up and down your phone. you can change the flex and try to be more careful the next time. this phone has good potentials, just take extra care ok? good day

  • this phone is ok, you just have to be gentle when sliding it up. that's the prob with slider the frequently you use it the lesser the life span of the phone. i suggest that if your a text freak like me, just turn your slider up and don't slide down even if it turns stand by. its easier to charge rather than change the flex. the touch buttons are ok. as i said you just need to be careful. as i see u700, its not a good phone for guys. if you want phones that are really sturdy, try nokia or sony e, for girls who want style, functionality and glam, use samsung. this phone really needs some caring and gentleness.

  • bluetooth??

  • wow, i see alot of people are having similar problems. so here's my problem with my u700. i got it last year around this time. so just recently i started getting blank black screen, but i found a way around it (press any button while the the phone isn't slided up) that seemed to work for me for awhile, but after few days, my speakers went out. only recipients could hear my voice. okay, so from time to time my screen came back (either perfectly fine or inverted with messed up colors) but okay, i had my vibration feedback on, so i knew my phone was working even through the black screen. but today, my vibrations stopped working too. GREAT! totally garbage now, i can't even get it fixed because i bought this unlocked and it's unavailable where i live.

  • omg so did i i have that now the phone does weird things like picture moves, back to front writng etc. now this phone is sitting in my draws and now im using my sony ericsson j200.

  • I think this phone is garbage everything about it is garbage, reception, programs, everything, is bad. this phone was not properly produced. if they were able to have beta, this would be beta,

  • This phone is a piece of rubbish!!!!! All the crom peels off, the touch buttons do not work well, it freezes, the screen goes black,i can phone somebody but there is no dialing tone and you cannot hear if the person is speaking. The speaker doesnt work on my phone now i have had it for 6months and i have to use the headset to phone and listen to music. I have always had problems with it! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT!!!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!

  • I LOVE THIS PHONE< ITS AWESOME!! i want it my friend has it and i always stell it i love it bi bi luv ya

  • i have dis phone and its ot exactly da best thing ever it peels and doesnt have much not even java... all i want to do now is give it away

  • I'v had this phone for a period of 7 months and only to realise that even if it was still in the cover, the paint peeled off. now not only am i having that problem , but also the screen appears with the writings from left to right. the touch screen buttons don't even respond and the screen is purple. i regret buying it.

  • well i had this phone and it got stolen but watm i would really like to know is is it possible to disable the tracker if it even has because when mine got stolen we never found it even till now i still dont have it

  • i have the sgh-u700 and when i try to make a phone call... it dials, but there's no ringing noise or anything.. sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. people cant call me either, i dono what to do.

  • I cant use transferred music from pc as ringtones its on my music files but when i go into profiles it says files are blank!!How do i do it?

  • apparently if you tell your contractor they will repair the peeling sides as it is a common fault with a certain batch of these phones my mate had this problem and their phone is fine now

  • i had this phone for a year now but within the i have to change the front screen aside from the peeling of the chrome,my screen went half black,it was a good thing that i was within the warranty period,but in all fairness this is a good phone. now i worry the next year will the same bugs come out,hoping samsung will be kind enough to extend the warranty.

  • I've had this phone for little over a year now. I strongly recommend that you buy yourself a better phone. Sides peel off, and the sscrolling button becomes slower after a while. If you can get past that and the occasionally unresponsive touch keys... Hey! Go for it. I'm upgrading to the N81 in one week. GO NOKIA!!

  • It is anice, simple and strong mobile

  • I have had this phone for less than a year - all the paint has peeled off, even with a cover on it. Phone freezes at least once every 2 weeks. Had it in for repairs twice already. Some buttons really sensitive others seem to not respond as well. GRR worst ever purchase

  • You are right...this phone is very strong...

  • My U700 is very strong...I never the problem on u700...Not like my N73, this is sucks phone...I had U700 very long time and I love this phone

  • I love this phone very much...Samsung is the best mobile phone

  • For the design and internet(until HSDPA 3.6 mbps) :U700...For the camera : U600 & K770i, but for videos is U600...The u700's camera good to, but u600 less above u700's camera. If you design mania, i think you choose U700 and you must keep this phone extrem...but, for the features, you choose U600 or k770i...

  • hey guys!!! im planning to buy a phone and im choosing among U700, U600, K770i and L700... what do you think?? i need some recommendation pls... thanks

  • any one know how the get the @ symbol when browsing on the internet...???

  • the phone is really cool and very stylish! now, its the worst phone i ever had, know why? first, the speaker volume is not so good;second,i could no longer hear all calls(incoming , outgoing), no volume on the speaker, camera hangs, silver sidings are starting to tear off.. i had this phone dec. 2007, never fell on my possession... just recently, i brought it to the repair shop to fixed all these damages! it ruined my budget!

  • I've read the comments and almost all of it are So negative.. I bought my u700 last year and yes I admit I got it repaired once coz of the flex which is the common problem if you have a slide model phone not only u700. Since then, I tried to take care of it more. And the touch buttons are so sensitive, I even lost my load coz it called to someone while it was in my bag but I just used my common sense and put on password so it won' t happen again. I think this phone is cool. It defines the user.

  • any way to make the loudness more?

  • Format your memory card, and your phone will work. Its software issues guys, doesnt take a genious to figure that out!!

  • the design was very cool,,but it's hard at the first use... the music was good with headset, and the camera was excellent.

  • This hp really no good, the worst ever hp i got till now easily broken.

  • i bought this phone in december 07, i reaallly lovEDD this phone. butt after the first month the silver on either side of the phone started to come off, which was really dissapointing. recently the phone has started to freeze. i get a blank black screeen all the time now and the volume doesnt work every now and then. +the other day tha wheel didnt even work!?! can it be fixed or should i just get rid of it ?? :(

  • I got this phone last February Samsung U700 it the worst phone I ever owned it so quiet that I cant hear it ring a lot of the time. The touch buttons go from ever not working or working super sensitive. The camera stop working after a couple of months and the phone is genially unresponsive and hard to use. To sum up save you money by a different Phone there a lot better one out there with similar spec

  • I got this phone last year Oct....took it after a lot of thinking nd surfing nd tryin to know all abt it before I laid my hands on it.....but, in less than a year of its usage...I think im the most disgruntled of the lot who bought this crap......the problems cant be counted, but to list a few.... 1. Screen goes blank, got it repaired 4 times now. 2. The touch buttons are not responsive. 3. The color has faded. 4. Need to charge it constantly, either thru USB or thru charger. 5. The slider has become very hard. 6. The volume is so low that sumtimes I dont even know when the phone is ringing. Its a total waste of money , pls dont even think of buying it .......

  • pls.don't disappointed for these phone i think the condition and life span of this is defend to the owner/user.

  • I bought this phone in january... i loved it. but... It does not work anymore. such a disappointment.. and a waste of money.

  • i really liked the samsung u700! it was so easy to use and my little boy dropped it loads of times and it still worked, it was without a doubt the best phone i ever had! it came to a sad end when i by mistake put it through the washing machine!!

  • I bought this phone last year in December and now 10 months later it has broken down. I've always been a fan of Samsung phones, but have now switched to Nokia. I cannot believe that the life span of this phone has been so short. Very disappointed. Great features, great style, great navigation, poor durability...

  • i have this phone too , the worst phone ever i bought it last christmas and now its in the shop for repairing for the third time! its very expensive and it can easily be broken! the screen is destroyed! its very very sensitive , i think that there are other mobiles which are much better

  • worst. Don't buy this phone, it cost a lot of money and don't deserve a lot of them Samsung goes down

  • dont buy u 700!! if you buy it you will only throw you money! the best phone around price of u700 is nokia 5320 xpressmusic BUy IT

  • This unit is very disappointing, the flex card can easily be damaged. I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, now it is in the repair shop because of the flex card that was damage. The touch screen also is a problem, it is very sensitive, it's annoying. I hope i didn't bought it. The maker of this phone must do something about it.

  • my samsung u700 has had too many problems. i'm completely sick of it. AND im stuck in a 24 month plan with it. it has been in repairs about 6 times. a few times for the paint chipping the charger wouldnt work. it sends blank messages to people in the recent sent list (because the key pad unlocks itself) and it freezes and the screen goes all fuzzy, like a tv when it has no signal. im really disappointed with this phone. and the people at the shop can't do anything but keeep sending it away.

  • I have been using this phone in December 2007 but in march i had to take to repairs for it's sensitive keypads. They repaired it and then the other problem started, it freezed and i couldn't do anything with it. I again took it to repairs and it was fine. Another problem started since june till now, it can't charge with it's charger but only on usb port. I really liked this phone but it's a disgrace.

  • I've been using this phone for a year. It is a very stylish design. But the paint started to peel off 6 months ago. I fixed that by a sticking a silver paper layer. So it looks ok. But now I have a new problem with it. The buttons on the touch screen are not working properly. The backgrond light doesn't go off anymore on these buttons. When I want to reply a message with it, I will have to wait for at least one minute for the buttons to work. I feel like it is going to break at any time. Anyone has the same problem with this phone? How could I fix it?

  • I like the fone. so stylish. =) BUT, i concerned about the "SENSITIVE KEY PAD". I'm afraid if in 2-3 years the "SENSITIVE KEY PAD" will broken. if anybody know, how long the "SENSITIVE KEY PAD" can remained until broken???? 2 years??? 3 years??? or... only 1 years??? I need ur answer so much. plz help MEEEEEE....... :( I will apreciate if there's anyone who will answer my question. :) sorry if my english is bad. hahaha. . . :D

  • worst phone mine went to the shop 5 times and now i need to pick another one. are all samsungs this unreliable? but it looks amazing.. if only it were any good

  • i had it 4 5 days inside screen craked got it fixed n da touch butons wer crazy wen i got it back n den it went inta da wash n i got the hairdrier n didn work so i snaped it in half! never had as much joy wen i done it! neva buy dis fone! i heard of sum1 gettin sand in it and it codnt b fixed!

  • the absolute worst fone i have ever had !the touch screen dosent work and its practically a new fone , only about 6months old , it screen keeps changing and goes blank most of the time the sound sux , then again samsum cant make a fone with gud sound ...!!! dont ever BUY this fone !!! it will give you way to much trouble , and its a pain in the a** !!!!

  • How do I get the keys to be silent. Cant seem to find that option in the menu

  • Im in kenya. No samsung customer care. Wat do i do? I so feel lyk dumbing ths 4ne. Samsung heeellpp!!

  • well i have this phone since january this year n all i can say is...this phone is a hot mess...it looks like its 3 years old,even tho i took real good care of it...it just peeled off,battery dies quick,it just goes off sometimes n so on...now i decided 4 a sidekick 2008,hopefully i'll b more happier with it...

  • The model is good, but battery has gone within 3 months. and the ringer volume is also not so audible in noisy areas.

  • Think this phone is about the worst on the market. Mine has been sent into samsung twice... lets see if it will work now. LCD gives you trouble, touch screen dies, coating chips... think samsung sould take it off the market... cause they all faulty...

  • Mine is just 3months in proper handling and its really peeling off in such an ugly way. And as if thats not bad enough, it has aquired a new disease and am shocked it just chooses to go off the way it wants. its a real disappointment to me considering that ive been a loyal customer to samsung.

  • I'm really sorry to say this, but I don't think there is a way you can fix that. I had the same problem with mine and I did reset the phone hoping it would work but it didn't. I'm sorry we've wasted our money on this phone but it's not worth buying. It also has coating problems.

  • hello i buy it yesterday it's very very very nice Thanks to Samsung :)

  • first 9 months it was very good... But now i am facing lot of problems. Network problem, coating prob. I would not recommend this mobile.

  • Mine is also peeling off... The store says its bad handling... i always keep it in a pouch specificaly for it!!! Waiting for Samsung Portugal. Im demanding a black cover!!!

  • hi......its me .................but now im sad bcoz my u700 did not respond my sensitive touch part...anyone share to me how to fix dis problem..thanks in advance...merry xmas to all...

  • right. i had mine since last nov and it's what, sept now. okay. and i've sent it for repair for countless times already.mine's the black colour one so yup, no problems with the looks itself but yup, it keeps lagging and lagging and it HANGS. ohmygod i know. and then the screen will go all funny sometimes. the last time it soilt i had totally no sound at all and the screen blacked out. it switches on, yep, but there were no graphics. right. so yup, this is one phone nobody should buy i guess (: looking at F700 now though (x

  • Hi all. I've had my U700 now for a year. The paint peeled off and twice Samsung replaced the cover free of charge. Seeing that the 1 year guarantee is over I doubt if they will continue doing it. I'm getting my new U900 Soul soon and can't wait. The U700 gave me endless fun and I never had a software upgrade, and believe me, I use it very well to its full potential. Still think it is a great phone. This is my 5th Samsung, will never again change to another brand.

  • Good I thought the general design and functions were decent. Bad I have to admit I'm pretty disappointed with this phone. I've had for nine months... the paint peeling off was one thing but then the phone started to get slow and now the ear piece doesn't work so people can hear me but I can't hear people. Another problem is when the phone is used for long period either talking or 3G the battery gets pretty hot. Conclusion I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I think Samsung does have better models out there but this is a truly disappointing one.

  • just changed to the black cover. so far no peel offs

  • i've just changed to the black cover after 2 times changing the chrome finish. works fine so far. no more peel offs

  • They say never judge a book by its cover.Its unfortunate i have come to realize that statement is true through the U700. Dont be fooled by its slick look.That phone is a time bomb waiting to explode its only a matter of time.The phone has been disintegrating on me the past week.Now the screen is completely blank and its got in volume.I agree with Brenda.

  • i think that ur rigth to keep the work as properly as it was hen u buy u should take care of it. i like this mobile and im going to buy it =D

  • does the black model still peal off?? cos the silver's paint peals off.

  • I have just read through the comments and the general impression I got was that ppl reckon something goes wrong with the phone because of poor handling on the part of the owner. NONSENSE!!! I take really good care of my phones, but the U700 is sheer rubbish. The paint keeps peeling off, the buttons are way too sensitive (when it works) but for more than a week now, I have had to really hold the buttons in long and hard for it to work at all. The volume is just as poor. This was my second Samsung, the previous one sucked just as much. I will never, ever buy another Samsung again.

  • OMG you guys have no idea what your talking about.. My mum has had this phone for over a year and it has worked perfectly, i went and got one 6mths ago and its still fine.. Some people treat there phone badly and try blaming it on manufacturing..

  • samsung u 700 is stylish phone, but if u like quality dont buy it. im gonna sell my and buy some nokia phone, nokia is like mercedes. ps. motorola is better then samsung for sure cuz i had some motorola phones and they are not bad.

  • hey guys plz help i've got this fone when it was just one day old in market its a grerat fone but i am disappointed byu the volume, coz its verry low, and secondly i've seen many video on youtube tht U700 owners have applied themes but have showd how to....installed games in it but havent showed how to.....have installed apps in it, but havent showed hot to.....so plz guys ii've ben tryin to do this stuff since i frst bought it but fails every time so plz guys help you can send me an email bout this :[email protected] your help will be appreciated!! thanx, Hassan

  • Awesome phone, The Camera is great and Video calls a breeze...Have had no problems with ot at all.

  • look to those who have complains about this phone,u guys are either terrible at handling items or u bought an AP phone. i've had this phone for a year plus and it is still working ever so greatly. so people,it isn't the phone that's got the problem,its YOU GUYS.

  • Hi, I just got a new cover replacement for my U700. I started removing the old cover, but I am now stuck at some point and don't know how to proceed. I want to make sure I don't brake anything. Does anyone have any instructions on how to replace the cover of the phone? I looked online but couldn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

  • I got my U700 for 3 days now, the sound is real good, the phone is very good and looks good but i must get more used to the touch bottons. But if you change the sensitivity to 1 or 2 its okay. Standard is on 3 and its to sensitive. Samsung makes great products!

  • yaar i have this U700 about 3 Months. Having a great experience and enjoy the multifunctions. Buttons are too sensitive , but i can manage it. Camera result is Amazing. i already compare the result with Nokia N95. and its better than that. Thanks

  • It's almost a year since I had the phone and buying this phone was a big mistake. It is pilling off, screen is faulty. I had a D500 before and never had problems with.

  • i have the black one.. the fones okey, but the keys are too sensitive.. the sounds not bad, it just have a low volume.. the disappointing thing is... THEMES are not applicable..

  • u700 fans a want to know can the secondary camera take a portriate picture. and a want to know if the flash can be use as flashlight. ASAP

  • I've had mine for about 6 months or so now, and yea my silver stuff on the side ended up peeling off. I got annoyed with it so took it all off an now it looks like a brand new fone, an no-one has any idea what sort it is. I think that was a manufacturing flaw they had, cus they are only selling the black ones now from memory. :)

  • tip for those who've had the same problem: keep all your servicing paperwok!

  • 1 year on... i now own a nokia. why? well, the paint kept peeling. so i kept being told by samsung to take it back to the reipair centre. i did. 3 times. that did not fix the problem so i complained to higher management at samsung hq in australia and they gave me a brand new replacement samsung phone. that's gone straight to ebay to help pay for a portion of my brand new nokia n95 -there was no way i was going to let myself be stuffed around by samsung again. funny thing is, i probably would have kept the phone if it wasn't for the peeling problem... it ran perfectly fine otherwise.

  • my u700 is stuck on emergency calls only setting, how do i cancel that? i really like this phone, i dont wanna be buying a new one. thx in advance for your replies, if there is any

  • hi.i want to buy this phone.the sound is load ? and can download theme for this phone ? the touch sensetive hav`t problem ?

  • its a very bad handset as the cover scratched usually with out any reason .and its sound is very low ,and the battary life is very short . i advise any one dont pay any it

  • hi i am ehab from egypt. i think that it is very good mobile.

  • i have this phone and it's gr8! u just have to get used to the touch sensitive keys! it looks soo stylish and it has cool features!! i luv it!!

  • I have had the U700 now for about 5 months - the sensitivity buttons have big problems and are a pain in the B*m, every time you type a SMS or other function it keeps changing to different menu (as your fingers touch the pad accidently)when you do not want to. now finally top section of the phone not working anymore, it appears the ribbon connection between the top slide and the bottom slide is damaged - so bad I can not get any of my info off the phone which is in memory. DO NOT BUY ANY PHONES WITH TOUCH BUTTON! you will regret it. I paid a fortune for this phone, no game nothing and now this! I am going back to Nokia Good bye Samsung you lost me as a customer

  • This phone is really great.I have it for a three months and its simply amazing.But I'm worried about the peeling "problem".If it appears,how can I fix it.TNX

  • i have had this phone for a while now and i love it ..sound is good..pictures are great. +1 from me

  • can anyone help me. i hav dis u700 phone for lyk 6months now. its a very nyc phone love everythng bout it. my only prob. is that the sensitivity of the touch control answer key and cancel key. its not that sensitive lyk the other keys, it doesnt recognize my touch. i read my manual and it says their that the phone has a setting wer u can adjust the sensitivity, i opend everythng but stil cant find it. anyone pls help me. thanks. :-)

  • This phone is absolutely rubbish. I owned previous Samsung phones and they are ok. But not this particular model. Avoid it like Plaque. It broke - all words went into reverse image! Of course, their service centre had to totally replace a new one for me. And only after second repair.... Absolutely worse phone I have tried - I sued SE, Nokia, HTC, even Siemen. But this is really the worse - the U700. But having said that, an old Samdung Phone I used SGH-600 I think - some years ago - is pretty ok. But I think it is bec then Samsung uses Nokia OS - the Symbian.

  • why u saylike that?i thing,u don't now how to use..so u say this phone is worst...sorry to say....

  • i wish i would have told u be4 u get it but really it is the worst mobile phne i ever had juss wanted to tell u be4 u buy it

  • Compared with my other units. This phone is much cool, aside from its cheaper in price it looks classy. Though it doesn't have WLAN compared to my other phone, when it comes to 3G network it picks up much better.someone posted no radio? what's the use? i could download all the songs I want with 2 gig memory. Horray to this phone.

  • how about the game?is it enjoyning and satisfying? and how about the camera? i am very disapointed that this phone hasn't a fm radio.T.T thx 4 all

  • thank you so mush miss natasha for the opinion, by sunday ill be having a samsung u700 unit. Godspeed!

  • To all those wondering if to buy this phone, I would give a resounding yes. Got it over a month now and in total disagreement with most of the negative comments posted. It is a little sensitive but nothing not worth getting use to in comparison to all the great features. Picture quality is great and sound is excellent.... all those that disagree should buy a boom box instead of a phone!!!! It is a beautiful looking phone and EVERYONE that sees it admires it. Great phone and samsung is still THE BEST!!

  • java apps downloaded do not show "permissions" for the u700...have installed opera mini...but since there are no permissions, the pop up menu keeps popping up for yes/no queries...also, the micro sd card is not recognized as a removable drive via usb... anyways...

  • I am looking to buy this phone but am confused that some seem to have flat keys and others have raised keys.Can any1 shed any light on this for me? my e-mail is [email protected]

  • im having a hard time to purchase a cellphone.. but im planning to ev a u700 by next week.. can u help me guys.. tnx...

  • hi crystal im planning to ev one of the samsung u7oo's by next week.. can u give me some pieces of advice... tnxxx. allan maralit from philippines

  • im planning to buy a samsung u 700 by next week.. can u guys give me some opinions and some pieces of advice.. tnx. allan maralt here

  • Thats true the sound quality is good maybe them they bought theirs from fake dealers or second hand people cause i have had mine for one year and 6 months and i love it so much infact i find the one touch key amazing its classic and so colourfull but you guys should desighn a pink one or the cover case should be replacable so that when it starts wearing out you can replace it like Nokia. Congrats Sumsung i love your phones

  • hi i am thinking of buying this phone this weekend but after i have read all these comments am getting scared but i have a frien who has had his for 6 months and he seems to like it never had him complaining. i guess its just a sensitive phone that should be handled with care please so all the impolite complains are just destroying its market. and lastly its sound quality i great.

  • This would have to be the worst phone ever, i have had previous samsung phone & no problems. 1/ After finishing a call slide the phone closed but it doesn't end the call. 2/ So sensitive with the touch keys when you put it to your face it cuts off the call or it slips through the menu past what u want plus many more problems. Very disappointed after calling Samsung told there was no problems with the model they didn't want to know about it neither did the service provider that sold the phone. It is the last time i will by a samsung product.

  • the speaker is too soft so u cant here the phone ring, eventually you cannot speak as normal u must put the caller on speaker phone. look greats but that's where it ends, siler trim comes off, and the phone goes into menu's when u not even using the phone.battery power does not last long, real disapointment from samsung and i'm such a fan of their products

  • the fone is great, the Data connections are so fast but i cant connect the phone to be used as a modem while connecting to 3G, it doesnt work even with GPRS nor Bluetooth the problem is after the phone is connected to pc studio i add a new connection asking for phone no. i enter *99# or *99**1*1# nothing works the phone shows that the computer is using the internet and then stops but the E sign or 3g sign is not doing anything i tried everything, i am using pc studio 3.1.2 the connection is working 100% on the phone i reflashed the phone, same crap on the computer it stops at "registering your computer on the network." what should i do next? who will solve my problem too?! lol contact me : biso911 (at) G Mail (dot) com

  • it's very good phone i've one it's good and it's shape is nice all my frendz like it it's cool

  • i have downloaded the software(Samsung PC studio) but i amnot able to download my photos. What a bad phone.

  • Good looks, that's where it stops. 1. The silver comes off after a while of use 2. Not user friendly 3. I lost so mush info due to stupid menu keys 4. It was worth breaking it in two!

  • How come all of you people have these problems with ya phones?ive had the u 700 for a year now and nothing is wrong with it.everything still works fine.it even fell out my pocket when on a bike.And for that it only started peeling.sent it in got it back in a week and no problems ever since. whats wrong with you others guys countrys and these phones lol -_-

  • i had recently seen this handset, and was really disappointed as it does not support EMS.. :( then why its written in specifications

  • Could some one tell me what is the connectivity internet speed of this phone ? in the specification it support 3G but I never get more than 300 kb/s , did any one get I mg or more ?

  • ya anonymous the one that sms there sister 28 times it has also happen to me you are not alone thank god someone understands

  • samsung couldnt have came up with a worst phone

  • i hate this phone i hate it i hate it i hate it the phone just freezers all the time and the screen is always giving me problems im so glad that this phone is disscontinued it will save every one the hassle of wasting money no doubt the look is great but the phone itself is pathetic

  • Please help. I need to erase all the internet bookmarks on this Samsung U700, but can not work out how to do it.

  • how could you transfer the games to your u7oo fone? and wat type of file it is..? pls reply me the complet details! or u can email me if thats not make inconvenience w/u^^ [email protected]! thanks....

  • all samsungs are good considering how crap nokia is these days... i just dont like the touch sensor feature as my ear some how puts people im talking to on hold; the battery life isnt too flash and nor is the loud speaker... other wise huge fan of the samungs esp the old D600 =)

  • I had this phone for about 3 months, now when i slide up my phone, the phone does not response to t=any button i pressed on, i have to wait for at least a minute then only i can get into the menu or sms. Though memory space indicates that it could store for 500 sms, but when my phone reach 200 or more, my phone will hang once i try to send a sms, so i have to delete all my sms. Furthermore, samsung phone local retailer, although 1GB M2 memory card is included, but it does not seems to be a quality that has a long duration, for it because the memory card included given to me just give way after months, now i have to incurred another expense to get a Sony M2 memory card. In terms of colours, resolutions, camera, they were all execellent, creative wallpaper (living world) which will be put on accroding yo your country landmark buildings. Sound will be a little soft(low), even i switched to max volume, yet its volume barely can be heard, especially when i'm ar outdoor, in contrast, I have been S.Erricson phone before this, its volume is loud, i just put the volume to 6, but it can be heard, though not loud, but at least i able to know that my phone is ringing.

  • I've had my phone for over a year now and was totally satisfied with my phone until my phone stopped charging. i was told that the charger trackers are damaged. this has happened twice in a space of three months and i can't understand how this is not covered by the guarantee. is anybody else experiencing this. pls let me know thanks

  • when i can download themes? I hate this phone samsung is very bad brand i will never buy samsung after it.

  • sound is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

  • I thought that I bought a reliable phone but had multiple probs with my U700. First of all the usual peeling, secondly the scratches on the face and then, the phone decided not to switch on at all. Fortunately it (was) is still under warranty and I took it back to our service centre. I got the phone back after four weeks with a new face (front cover) and the switching off fixed. But after two weeks it started to frozen out (blank screen) and only when someone called the phone will come into life and then my theme would be displayed from right to left (mirror effect). Again I took it back to the service centre for repairs which will again leave me with another four weeks without a phone. Since my warranty will expire end November 2008 I thought it wise to take it back to the service centre and I will personally asked for another phone, probably a Nokia to replace it. The message: Don't buy the U700 even for it looks, it has software problems!

  • had this phone since march, it is mid august now, my U700 has been not responding correctly for about a month, the keyboard is always on, touch sensitive keys don't work, some keys press automatically, basically 300$ USD worth of sh.i.t. I won't buy another Samsung just because of this phone for a while, I had a few much older Sony Ericssons, much easier to use, much more reliable, and you even have such advanced features like changing the text message ringtone, unlike the U700. Don't buy it, unless you are loaded with money, then start planning to buy a new phone within a few months

  • I've had Samsung U700 2 weeks ago the black one.It is just amazing but what i hate about it just when u end up a call uffffffffffff it is kinda unlock the phone so as to end up the call.But generaly it is awesome.

  • thank you Andy I am sorry that your phone doesn't work in Canada...but we don't have this kind of problems in Morocco, here any phone could work XD

  • Half a year sorry.

  • I've had the black one for over half a month. I haven't had any problems with the peeling. Only problem is, my phone doesn't work here in Canada anymore.

  • i just read some opinions and i'm kind of confused... i want to buy the BLACK one, so does the colour really come out???!!!

  • elow, i was the one who posted an anonus reply to jeff about the 3g network, pls mail your reply at [email protected], thank you very much!

  • how do you switch off the 3g network? coz one network here in the philippines does not support 3g yet, i wish to turn off ny 3g network inorder to use this phone, thanks and for those asking about the peeling problem, just dont get the one with the mettalic silver color, i got silver before and in just a week it peeled off, had it replaced witha black one, stills looks new after 6months ^^,

  • It looks amazing and all but our store has had so many of these come back it's not funny. Constant freezing and the dial will die. Most phones have been repaird more then four times, so it's obvious it's not that well created internally. Please be wise when it comes to buying your phones and beware on signing for a 24 month contract.

  • I bought this phone last year, it was great for a few months then it became and ordinary phone which had limited functionality compared to the other phones, the video recording was terrible, the speakers were never loud enough and the touch sensitivity is very annoying! I still have this phone now and probably getting a new one very soon because the speakers are broke on my phone somehow! the ease of unlocking the phone made me send 35 blank texts to my friend whilst i was abroad and the bill cost me a bomb! But the plus points to this phone it that its a very good looking phone and very slim, easily fits into your pocket as if it was transparent! otherwise not really a good phone at all! Touch sensitivity does not work well at all! i tried to like the feature but couldn't :( alot of you probably have experienced these problems(i didnt bother reading all the other posts) but i hope for the sake of you guys, dont buy this phone! there are other better samsungs out there!

  • NEVER ever buy this phone. I LOVED it for the first few months, even polished it! I have taken great care of it but in less than a year, it has totally frozen and the keypad light is permanently on. A few weeks ago it even texted my sister 28 times - despite being closed and in my bag. All I can do is beg anyone reading this DO NOT GET THIS PHONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVEN IF IT'S FREE!

  • I'm loving this fone....so far.... we just got the u700 last week. Its a temporary replacement for our nokia N70 which has always been asss slow from day 1 and now even slower..we're waiting for the next generation of iPhone to come through. I had samsung E700 before and since it first came out till today, its been submerged in water 2 times and still working so I've been impressed with samsung because of that. one week of using U700. Games: I managed to install java games like sonic adventure, super mario bros 3d, tetris, zuma and so forth. all on the fone memory and it hasn't slowed down yet. I saved contacts onto the sim and not the fone. But it took me a full day to figure out installations. Ringtones I added some mp3 ringtones from the net and some are soft, some are loud just test them and see which one works better. can also do voice recording and use as ringtones as well if u like that sorta thing..i dont. The default ring and message tones are ugly and annoying but loud. So I use my own. U can assign ringtones to each caller as well.. and also assign caller images too. I have yet to figure out how to change the size though cos its really tiny. Locking and Unlocking is a bit annoying. but manageable. pressing the middle button 3-4 times will unlock. BUT..sliding the fone up will ALSO unlock. Slide it back down and it locks. Only a matter of time before this breaks. Touch sensitive. Is NOT so sensitive for me cos my fingers are normally quite cold so more often than not..it doesn't detect my "touch". Apparently u can adjust it's sensitivity but I dont know how to do that yet. Ending a call.. If the fone is not slid up when u're on a call, then u cant just press a button and hang up. U'd have to go into the middle button to unlock and then menu to find option to hang up. which is dead annoying. The other way is just to slide up the face and back down and it hang up straight away. But now I just pick up the calls and then let the other side hang up. They're the one paying after all..hehe. then again.. its not a big hassle because if u're the one making the call, u'd have to slide the fone up to punch in the numbers or search ur phonebook anyways(unless u love scrolling through the hundreds of numbers)...so your fone is already slid up. So to hang up..just slide it back down. Simple. Glare? I get NO glare. I can see it perfectly fine in daylight. why? cos I have have clear plastic protective casing to protect the fone. We didn't buy the fone to show off its..prettiness... Color chipping?? hmm..I dont know about this yet..cos its only been 1 week, we use the protective casing, and..we got the BLACK colored ones Camera you have to slide the fone up to use the rear camera and u have to go into options to change to rear camera. It loads a bit slow. but much faster than the nokia N70. The flash is pretty strong and can pick up objects 2 metres away pretty clear..so thats alright. But I always carry with me a digital camera..so this doesn't really bother me. Front camera is cool so I can fix my hair and check my make up..hehe what else...oh...music player. this one is awesome. good sounds. Just make sure u have really good quality mp3. otherwise u will blame the fone. u cant blame the fone..cos it uses Bang & Olufsen technology. But..I use my ipod so...u know..whatever.. its been 1 week so far...we'll see what happens 3 months from now. hope it doesn't go all sh!t house like many of the later reviews on here..

  • The phone looks lovely, it's very stylish, touch-sensitive keys and so on, but there is nothing but hassle with it what you will discover only after few months. The silver paint peeling off (looks really ugly), charging problems, over sensitive keys, freezing, navigation keys stop working. Unfortunately I have lost my respect for Samsung since I had to deal with a legion of unsatisfied customers:/ highly unrecommendable phone

  • I also have the same problem with this phone. The silver paint started coming off just after a month. Three months later, the touch sensitive bottons stopped working. Unfortunately, I don't live in the Phillipines so I'm completely unable to get another one. This was one of the worst samsung phones I've owned so far. Besides the excellent camera and the e-mail function, nothing else on the phone was worth buying. The phone SUCKS. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS PHONE.

  • reply for the comment of plumpdonut when it comes to recieving call and messages. its because samsung has this blacklist thing that if ever you set it without knowing it you'll think that your phone is a crap! try exploring your phone..

  • Thanks alot Denis for your usefull information!I'll keep them in mind.I have to go to the store and try it...Thnx anyway:)

  • i have had the phone for the last 3 months cant say that i dont like it, its nice those who are complaining are men who have rough fingers and dont like handling soft keys

  • i have the same problem and i'm in canada and it just all of a sudden stopped working in june and i took it in a 3rd time to fix it and they told me it was the 3g network not being compatible with the rogers/att 3g network

  • oh and the phone swapping to loud speaker due to oversensitive touch buttons has many a time very nearly landed this phone in pieces across the room. will be suing Samsung for permanent damage to my ear drums. piece of crap. all looks and no brains and even the looks go fast. slide function very poor.

  • i had the identical thing happen but after three months. have had the face replaced twice because of the silver coming off. sound quality is very soft. am swapping to a Nokia N82. will not buy samsung again.

  • I have thought of buying the u-700 but after reading these comments i�m having doubts. It looks great but if the function is that bad... Now, they have come out with a new version EVO, with "vibrating button function" and more importantly, improved software. Does anyone have experience of that model?

  • this fone only plays mpeg4 or mp4 format videos?

  • The phone really looks so sleek and stylish.. The problem there is that the silver part beside it's main screen chips off.. And I'm really bothered by the sensitive sensor-buttons.. But nonetheless, it's a fashionista's must-have..

  • Unfortunately the touch screen keys absoultely ruined this phone...like it needed help. I have seen so many with the same issues of those keys not working.

  • My gripe - some times in a call the speaker will go on - Hugely load in your ear. After about 2 months 1st and 2nd u700 the crome start to peal. The touch buttons will do whatever they feel whenever they feel like it. Listen to music through headset and you do not hear the incoming call. My u700 is somewhere on the intersate. or the parts there of. You can take onlt that much. Will move to HTC after 13 Samsung phones in 9 years. A shame.

  • Setting Mp3 as ringtone: Go to menu -> My Files -> Sounds -> select your mp3 -> Options -> Set as -> Voice call ringtone / Caller ringtone

  • Hi Hadam.. tnx but unfortunately i am not able to set it though!! its kinda weird coz when i try to set the message tone i can access my memory card but no list of songs on the sound area.. i can only set on the phone tones particularly .MID tones but mp3, i cant set it! Please can u help me figure it out!!

  • I did download Virtua Tennis for it and that was my favourite feature. Once again though, the buttons didn't make playing it easy but I still liked that.I suggest you go to the store and have a really good play with it. Put your sim in it and muck around with it. It seems great at first but it isn't in the end. I didn't try the phone in advance and I vowed never to make that mistake again.

  • For me, it was how it worked. It was never faulty in a physical sense, it was just totally illogical in the way it operated and those stupid touch buttons ruined it. Plus the fact the operating system was really slow. A work colleague bought the same phone and also hates it. It really looks great and that is why I bought it though I am glad to see it go.

  • thnx Denis! but I was amazed by your report on this phone!is it that much awfull?I really like it but now by reading your report Im not sure that I'll buy it or not :(

  • The sliding part is fine. Overall the quality/feel of the phone is commendable. Read my comment on the UI/Design issues it has.

  • I want to buy this phone but I dont know if the sliding part will work properly or not! I heard that samsung sliding type phones breake down easily! is it true?!plz help!thnx

  • This is my beef with this phone. I just got rid of it (sold it to my sis) and replaced with the iphone. These were my gripes. 1) Lets say you call voicemail. You call the number and listen to the prompts. The buttons are currently locked. you need to press 3 to delete the message so you do. Now the buttons are unlocked. The next time you put the phone to your face, it will hold the call. It takes you a good 10 phone calls to realise this is what it is doing as you assume that the call just cut out. 2) The operating system is ridiculously slow. It has a keyboard buffer though, so if you press the lovely touch sensitive buttons too hard, you have things occur like sending a blank message to someone from your contact list before you even realise it has been sent. Hitting the cancel button doesn't stop it in time. 3) How to send a SMS. Menu - Messages - Create Message - Message - Type message - options - Select 4 (yes the number 4 ) to add a contact from the phone book - select contact - press middle button - return - press 5 for send (or another number but yes it is a number again) - press the middle button to confirm - then once it sends guess what, it lets you know and you have to press the middle button again. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!! 4) Touch sensitive buttons. Who here who has this phone has accidently pressed the unchangeable voice call button and it has attempted to voice call your last received call?????? I lost count 5) To unlock the phone, even with the slider closed, simply takes 3 pushes of the same button; the middle menu button and guess what, it sticks out the most on the phone. Of yes, when in the pocket, that is the button that rubs against the fabric of your trousers. You can guess the outcome. 6) The reflective nature of the finish makes reading the screen in daylight near impossible. 7) The dial that turns, is also like a control pad. It is two in one. So if you decide to use it like it was a control pad, be careful not to move your finger left or right while doing that. When you think you are going down the menu, you end up going left as well! 8) Going to silent mode. It use the hold # down to go into silent mode. You have to be at the main screen. No keys can be typed prior, you can't be in the menu mode. The key is in the corner near the edge where it is hard to press and very easy to accidently let go too soon. You then have to cancel (hang up touch sensitive button) and try again. Nokia and the power button for profiles was a great idea. This one stinks. 9) Did I say those touch sensitive buttons? I really could go on. I have had a lot of mobile phones in my time. This is the second worst phone I have had (my first phone - an Alcatel HB160 won't be beaten for that position in a long time). I normally don't leave feedback but for this one I wanted to warn people. It simply isn't worth the looks. On the bright side, I loved the camera. For snaps it is very clear for a phone and when I need some quick snaps taken, it does a great job. The battery was find for me. Never had a problem though I charge my phone each night anyway. Li-ion prefers that and my batteries seems to last quite a while. The call quality was fine and reception was as good as any. Overall, I couldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Period.

  • This Mobile phone is Excellent ..its simple its nice its so so so feminine ..i love this mobile and i will never ever change it

  • I had mine for exactly 3 weeks. All of a sudden when somebody would call me or text me I would never receive it, my family had to call my friends just to reach me! I asked the seller to fix it for me, it's been away from me for 2 whole months now, I can't even get my money back, it's ridicules, I couldn't believe this phone died on me so easily.

  • hey I was wondering if you could set an mp3 song as your ringtone?

  • i advise not to buy it!! ive had it for a coupel of months now & its not at all user friendly. only 4 choices for msg tone, the touch buttons have a mind of their own & are not responsive all the time. Have to press the same button three times to get it to do anything and sometimes they are so over sensitive they cancel whatever you are doing and jump to a new menu. Wish i never bought it!!

  • i have had this mobile for about 8 months or maybe less .. and at first it was reaaaly nice but the memory isn't enough and the battery didnt last long a month ago this black blob appeared on the screen somedays its really big somedays its small .. also the wheel got stuck and the screeen froze so i dont really advise anyone to buy it especailly if they drop things as much as i do :P

  • iv had this phone for about a year now. been very careful with it but just about a week ago whenever i made a call from it, i couldnt hear the connection ring u hear whennormally making a call. also the screen turned black, the colours inverted (went negative tone) and the wording on the screen inverted (mirror image)!! piece of crap. the touch pad is too sensitive and ur always pressing buttons and dialling somebody accidently. CRAP!

  • same prob here... my battery could not last 24 hours though i bought it just yesterday! ;'( i dunno if i buy new battery it'll last longer... and I'm curious why i cant play streaming vid, anyone know why?! tnx!

  • hey vanilla I was wondering where you sent it to get it serviced? I'm actually in the states and it doesn't seem like there are places here. I'm going to be heading overseas, first to Japan then to Korea. I figure they can fix it in Korea it being a Korean product and all but do you think they'll be able to fix it in Japan?

  • yes it does but you have to av 3g and pay 10 pounds per month

  • the best fone eva!! everyone says that the screen peels the battery runs out easily none of that happens plus i have had mine fone for about 5 months the battery only runs out if you leave your fone on all night its really neat and a good mirror the best thing about it is that the round bit in the middle of the fone swivels round.iam on vodafone pay as you go cos thats the only network that does pay as you go. u700 rules woo!

  • yeah so does my o wheel but dunno bout' the touchscreen keys dude!!!!

  • samsung u700, first time using samsung, am disappointed, battery could not last 24 hours at stanby! come up with slim edition, but could not compete with motorola and nokia.

  • Worst ever. Having endless problems with the phone

  • Does this phone have TV-OUT?

  • I'm a dealer and I agree, i've seen too many of these phones in. For a company that sells mainly nokia its so worrying that we send so many more samsungs away for servicing. im truly dissappointed in samsung, they usually produce better phones. the design of this phone was amazing, it looks great its easy to hold and use, but it just doesn't work! such a shame. i hope they do better with the u900 because it is a hot phone too.

  • this phone is rubbish, ive had it for 4 months and the touch screen buttons dont work, the neither does the button in the middle of the wheel, o and the wheel doesnt work either :) the screen has peeled badly, the worst phone ive ever had...

  • Alex, Really bad idea. This phone is a dud!! Unless you have infinite time to waste & even more patience, don't bother.Its really not worth the frustration.

  • Sent 3mnth old U700 for repairs, overheating, peeling , etc. Fone came back with no hsdpa.They replaced it. After 6 weeks, speaker failure.Now they wanna replace it again.I refused as this is obviously a problematic model. The best(?) they can replace it with is a D900!!! Sitting with a 2 year contract & a dud handset.They couldn't even offer a better phone though I offered to pay for an upgrade. U700/D900 or nothing. Pity after the great E900. SAMSUNG SUCKS...

  • l bought this 4ne 4months ago but nw the volume is gone and l cant hear someone who will be calling me,will u knw the problem coz l still luv my 4ne l dont wanna loose it .pliz reply

  • we call it g-mask here in the philippines. it is a clear plastic wrapping the whole phone.

  • It's a triband phone, so can it work with 3G sim card of AT&T? I've tried it already, but the signal is bad !

  • I am planning to buy this phone coz i really love the style but was wondering if i can use yahoo messenger and browse the internet into this phone? do i have to purchase software for the messenger? looking forward for any response.. thanks

  • ermadz, if do you get that software please share it with us, the sensitive touch is driving me crazy.

  • got this phone.. im loving it so far!!! but i just went this morning to a samsung service center to ask re: software to adjust the sensitivity level of the touch keys bec i got mine without it. but sad they refered me to the main office... hope ill get what i came for next week.

  • wait.. what kind of protection r u talking about?

  • i just got this phone couple days ago and realized that this phone doesn't work here in the US. ive tried to make calls and send text messages, but it wont go through. the signal bar always go's up and down all the time. every once in awhile, it will say i have limited service or it will saying searching. is there any way of solving this problem?

  • anyone on planning to buy this phone stopp!!! i have this phone and the ok button is starting to be very faulty please dont buy this phone its a useless junk dont buy you will regret it by 99.9% so dont even think of buying this phone

  • Every few weeks I get so fed up of these phones I have to post. I work for Optus, never, NEVER have I seen so many of the same model phone come back. I send at least two a day to our service centre. Alllways such a wide range of problems too. If you are thinking of purchasing this phone, DO NOT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I've had customers flinging the phones on the floor in frustration at having to send it away so many times.

  • I have this phone for more than 7 months now and so far so good. The camera's resolution and flash is the best! MP3 sound is perfect,video calls are working as expected, internet and modem are fast enough for me to search what I need online. Also has voice and video recording. For those who want to buy this phone but is worried about the looks, I suggest you have it coated by clear plastic to protect the glossy look. The touch screen will be affected by the plastic but in a good way since it wont be as sensitive.

  • I also thought it looked great and have found that's all it is good at. Had it repaired twice, the entire front panel and new battery, only had it for six months. It's very difficult to understand and the buttons are way too sensitive and the phone is slow to respond. Also can only use it on 2G even though it has the capacity to be used on 3G but it apparently doesn't like 3G so no video calls Please stay well clear of this phone bring back the Samsung D600 or the Samsung P510 they were real champs. Thankyou

  • 1) The paint peels off every 3 months - but if you on contract - u can take it back to have the screen fixed (manufacturing fault) 2) Internet is very fast to use 3) how expensive is it to connect to internet?

  • Was thinking of buying this phone because of its facility to block calls and sms from particular numbers. Can anyone confirm if it actually works?

  • i think this phone is really really good it has everything u want in a phone the camera is like no other its crystal clear no other camera phone can beat it its top notch camera brings images to life whether its 5 mp or 8mp its still cant beat em'. but the paint chipping just wrecked it but the only thing we want to make sure is that it still works like new so recommend u buy it!!! two thumbs up!!! go for it not the silver one the black one

  • It seems that this phone is a nightmare to me....I bought this phone 2 months ago and its silver coated case starts to peel off...How dreadful...fancy looks type...I hope samsung company will make a product that is pure metal or pure authentic plastic without coating any elements that can cause frustrations to your product.

  • I have always been a fan of samsung, but this phone has made me think otherwise! It has been sent back for repairs three times & as soon as it returns from the repair centre, another problem arises. From the obvious paint chipping, to the touch screen not working, to very poor battery life! (i mean, i need to charge the phone twice a day!) My friends have the same phone and i have seen worse problems to the screen failing, or the whole phone completely turning black and not turning back on. i do no advise for anybody to buy this phone.

  • when i recieve any mp3 via bluetooth it's saved automatically on the phone memory , how can i make it saved on the memory card ?!

  • yes I knew how to make my message tone a melody from my list . open phone profile and then edit than if u press on the right key u will switch to th message configuration list and continue. make me know if you succeed

  • can someonetell me what type of mobile is the best cause i like have been searching for a mobile but they all had bad comments on them what shall i do???

  • You have to have it unlocked man, otherwise it will never work. The reason it sais Emergency only is because you are on a form of Roaming.

  • I have just brought this phone but can't seem to download any different ring tones. Any help would be appreciated. I am in Australia and on Vodofone but can't even download the ringtones from Vodofone Live!!!

  • try to put it in fridge for 20 secs or so

  • I'm glad that I am not the only one out there who has had the paint chipping off with careful use. Took it back to where I brought it from and they told me to be more careful!

  • Hi guys Jr hir. i have this phone for aout a month already. Can you help me figure out how to set mp3s or wav tones for message alert tone!! pls. pls. pls. email me at [email protected] HELP ME PLEASE!!!

  • is it still okay if i buy a second-hand samsung u700?..

  • Okay, so i bought this phone about 2 weeks ago from Saudi Arabia and then brought it to Canada to use here. I bought a brand new sim card and found it did work here and i even get signal bars. So when i tried to make my first call i got an "Emergency Calls Only" message. I was so fed up. i tried again and again and restarted the phone and removed the sim, all that. still, nothing. I tried putting in my brothers sim which he uses in the Samsung e840 model and works fine with, tried it with his and still the SAME problem. SOMEONE PLEASEE HELPPP! i really do like this phone, id just like to make some calls from it! :(

  • I got this phone because it looked like something from Star Trek and offered HSPDA. Now the HSPDA works very well. Now the not so good stuff. I have has the front cover replaced under warranty and am now in "talks" with Samsung to have it replaced and SECOND time. Touch sensitive buttons - EXTREMELY Messaging - Why when I text in words such as What, Who, Where When does the phone insist on changing these to numbers? Reception - my wife has the U600 Ultra (I would have stolen this from her but it does not have HSPDA) This has much better reception than the U700 Overall - love the looks but using the phone is a constant grind and when the looks go (paint peels) you're left with a phone that is difficult to use, hard to text with and is ugly.

  • I have had the u700 for about 12 months now. Even though it looks all nice & fancy & fashionable, after about 3 months all the paint work starts chipping away, the touch screen buttons stop working and my speakers have broke twice now which menas that i couldnt ring anyone or listen too music. Also the phones memory is really bad as well. Overall this phone is crap and i would advice people not too waste their money on it.

  • can anyone advice me how to install samsung pc suite to windows vista operating sytem?

  • I have had this phone for approx 1 month and absolutely love it. I have always liked Samsung phones and this one is the best. I am upgrading shortly to the U900 and am hoping that it will be as good if not better. I have had no problems at all with the Samsung U700. Very happy.

  • lousy phone. the color changed from silver to white. cool~~!

  • Sean, where is this setting? I can't find it. You must have upgraded software to mine. Same for keys locking while making a call, I have had the speaker phone on in the middle of a conversation countless times. Might make me deaf one day.. Have the same problems with peeling of the crappy silver at the side and the screen scratching. This is a crappy phone, stick to Nokia.

  • I want know what type of video in this phone ...(VGA , CIf , qVGA or qCIF) ????? plz I need to know..... and why mobile U600 have more voting from U700 ???? can any body help me in this ?

  • how about changing your network settings...you might be using the 3gnetwork...try to replace it by changing it to gsm i think...

  • Im pretty sure this isnt a major issue. You have to press the centre button twice or 3 times while closed to unlock it within a time span of 3 seconds. Highly unlikely that it will unlock by itself. GREAT PHONE!!!

  • I've tried the hard reset too. completely reset everything and still no luck.

  • try to reset your phone..or restore factory settings

  • has anyone found out how to fix the problem with not being able to call/receive calls? i'd get full reception and EDGE working fine, but can only connect 15% of the time. the odd thing is that if i do connect, i'd never get dropped/disconnected. i've tried manually selecting the network, rebooting the phone, changing batteries, etc. nothing seems to work... and as far as i know, everyone else that has this problem is in the US right? anyone have a fix to this????

  • this is an excellent phone.iv had it since august 2007 and have had no problems with it except for a slight peeling.the mirror on it is also extremely convenient.

  • best phone ever............ride on samsung.

  • best phone i've got..easy and convenient to operate, with bigger screen and clear camera!good sound quality...soft touch screen is a big help for me....with this comment i hereby recommend it for immediate buy...

  • worst samsung phone ever made!!!

  • Apparently, I like this kind of phone, though, it has shortcomings; once you close it, if the phone is touched by an acciddent at the central button, it gets un-locked and then (this happened to me)option "messages" is activated and the messages are sent to any registered numbers, of course,against my will;eight messages have been sent from my phone to a guy in Switzerland.Next, there is no radio in it, I don't know why?

  • is there any web for dis phone themes .?

  • This is definitely the worst phone I have ever had. combined with the level of service I have had from Samsung after taking it back four times for repairs, and still don't have the phone after 4 months, is forcing me to take action against them. If you feel you have been unfairly treated by samsung in any way, or have this useless phone, please email me at: [email protected] This is a terrible phone and my contract states I have to have this thing for 2 yrs.... absolute nonsense. Pls help to show Samsung that we don't just sit back and accept it all! Thanks Paul

  • did you wanna offload the phone on somebody else? i'm looking for another one of these phones, this time with a screen protector so I can have one for doing rough stuff (beach, construction, workout) and one for having around

  • need help my 4one is 7 months old already the touch screen button r not working what do i do

  • nice comment there joe.. well, mine's 6 months with me now.. i dont see any peelings or whatever.. but yeah it has scratched in it, that's because i just place it anywhere - no protective cover whatsoever but they're just minor ones.. i'm contented with it, a slim phone is all i want but it comes with good sound quality , nice pix.. at the moment, i'm still tryin to figure out hw to make the games work with it coz i already have the drivers with me..

  • I got the phone for less than a year and i'm not longer using it. its flex got damaged and the repair is so expensive...

  • Great phone, I try all sorts of ways to damage it throwing it stepping on it. Its a phone that doesn't really break easily. Sometimes the answer and hang up button doesn't work properly in the dark.

  • who has a bigger screen,the u700 or the u600

  • i bought this phone, cause i really didnt care about these aopinions, and im very happy. People, buy this phone, dont giveafck about all these jerks sitting here, complaining about the phone. get a life :)

  • LMC... recent reciepient list of the text messages cannot be deleted manually.but u can delete those list by sending msgs to an imaginary number. in my case i send a blank msg to:001;002;003;004.... after pressing send cancel it ryt away so that u will no be charge,anyway those numbers will still appear in ur recepient list..it work in my u708 taiwan version.

  • i think it's a really cool phone i wanna buy it

  • U700 theme and menu can be modified.... see this page and if u want to know how to install java, see zedge forums..

  • Zio, Did you manage to get an answer on this? I have a number on my phone which I have deleted but still appears on my recent recipient list and I just want it gone. Can you let me know if you find out?

  • i tot of buying it , after reading ur comments, i decided tuh change my mind . its stylish , but it is of poor conection . & dats whuts important when ur using a phone. & also when its spoilt its expensive tuh repair , samsung market price easily drop down .

  • anyone who says "im not buying this phone" should have a second this phone has been with me for 2 yaers until its now in my hand and its still working perfectly the touch screen is still good the paint.....well um dont worry about but seriously just as long this phone operates like its supposed to

  • the camera on this phone absoulutely awesome its clear crystal esecially the flash it really helps u have to buy it its really excellent esecially with the bang and olufsen speakers

  • anyone who has problems with calling simply switch off and switch back on the or reset/reflash the phone completely or if not search for a network manually this happens because the phone cant find the network carrier anymore and will show a phone with line accross on the icon bar it happened 2 me once i fixed it so easily

  • I've owned this phone since August last year and I found very interesting. The stylish look is great. It suits me and my life. The only disadvantage i that of the face peeling off. Camera is gr8.

  • Me too i cant make incoming call and outgoing call.... event if the signal is full

  • I've had this intelligent beauty for a year. It is amazing. I'm hooked.

  • i've had this phone for six months and i'm no longer able to use it for the following: 1) poor network connection 2) recently decided to stop allowing incoming or outgoing calls. i will have full reception but states i'm only allowed to make emergency calls. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE

  • I thought this phone have a radio. I was so disppointed.

  • people how ur phone....

  • Actually, i am thinking of really buying this phone, but after reading all the comments it looks like i'd better change my mind. I love the shape but i'd rather a phone that last not one that the paint comes off after few weeks... Thz for all the comments. :)

  • can somebody help me how to delete the recent reciepent list of the messages?thank you guys!

  • Hi,Antonio From what I could find out, you cannot change message tones on any Samsung phone. Sister-in-law has U700 and she's very unhappy with handset. I have G600, and you cannot change message tones as well. Pre-programmed tones on both handsets that's it.

  • so does it do video calls or not, coz it has a camera for it but another web site i went to said it did not do video calling

  • I was wondering if that was a problem with the phone or if it was the servers? I seem to be having the same problem. I was also wondering if you found a way to fix it?

  • Hey guys,please help me... I bought U-700 few weeks ago but can't find emoticons and anymation when I send text messagess and when I receive messagess with anymation the messagess are blank...Can I download emoticons and anymation??

  • i have this phone since christmas and i love it, it hasnt given me any problems except 4 d paint coming off but i expected that, i think its very reliable and great camera!

  • same as SA

  • had the phone for 8 months and for the past 3 months it's had the "no service" sign yet ther is network but refuses to connect or recieve calls or messages. i luv the phone to bits but its very frustrating.gsm samsungs dont seem operate very well in Canada.

  • HI, i need send to the memory card the files that i receive by bluetooth. How i do this?

  • Ive been using this phone for aout 3 weeks ive been having issues with the camera, everytime im using my mp3 for about an hour then the rear cam wont work anymore, it says captured failed, i just have to turn it off in order for me to take a picture which is really quite annoying, but the bottom line is, the phone looks great, you just have to be patient with it, theres no perfect phone in this world though.. =P

  • I've had this phone for 6 months now and all shimer silver painting has finally come off. It looked great at first - then started to peel (looked terrible) now all paint off and looks ok. My "Back" button on touch screen is completely gone and is very very annoying. Whilst its a great looking phone - would not recommend to any of my friends.

  • the phone was great in the beginning apart from the 'silver' painted finish peeling off after a few weeks. I have had mine for less than a year and it is already having issues with the touchscreen. the lights blink acknowledging your touch but nothing happens and when i slide it open it is non-responsive. some things are good in that it saves & recognises previously dialled numbers as you dial BUT that's about it really. if you want something that lasts don't get this handset

  • hi guys. can you give me some piece of advise coz im planning to buy one(this unit). Can you give me some feedback about this phone. Does this phone broke easily?? coz if dies ill better switch in buring another brand!! tnx.

  • So I have read a lot of people are having issues making / receiving calls with this phone especially in US. Has anyone figured out a solution yet? Does updating the firmware help?

  • hey can anyone help me. i just got a u700 2 days ago and everything was fine. now today i look on my phone and see that its stuck in an endless loop or reboot. that it the loading screen comes up begins loading then blacks out and starts again. i cant even access the home page or anything on the phone. what should i do?

  • God! Is the phone really bad? I want this phone so my mom will send me this phone.

  • i was planning on gettting this phone,& from the comments i read,im not sure.therre r more negatives than positives...thanx 4 the advice

  • anyone know how to switch off the keypad tones except change to silent modes?urgent pls...thanks..email me [email protected]

  • Yes, i had the phone for 6 months and had the same problem. The phone would not make outgoing nor accept incoming calls. I sent the phone overseas for repair to Samsung UK as I was told by Samsung USA. Then Samusung UK told me to send it to Kuehne and Nagle, which is their electronics manufacturer and I had to mail the phone to them. After 6-7 weeks of constant hassling back and forth, they tell they the unit is a non-UK unit and they can't repair it. Naturally, you can understand the level of frustration and irritation. I just got fed up for being run thru loops and said give me phone back. I love the phone, but after this experience, I wouldn't advise anyone to get the phone since many have had this similar problem. Now I don't know what to do. If anyone has any solutions, PLEASE share... [email protected] . It would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

  • Its a terrrible piece of handset. I've had for 7 months and it has been to repairs twice. The skin is peeling off...just dont buy this phone and waste your money

  • Its a crap phone straight out! Dials on its own, the browser just quits for no apparent reason the only good thing about it is the slim design and HSPDA other than that dont waste your money on this phone. Will never go for a samsung EVER!

  • hi guys,cud you tell me how to activate downloaded message tones cos once they are one the phone i cant find em to paste them on message tones.thanx

  • It happens with all of them. Poor quality paint.

  • I work for Optus. Never have I seen so many of the same model phone come in, and with such a wide range of problems. Please, for your own sake, do not purchase this phone. It will cause you endless frustration.

  • why is that the outer cover is peeling?

  • i'm having the same problem as well. i can't receive calls or make them? have you found a solution to this problem? does anyone know how to fix this? email be back at [email protected] thank you.

  • Samsung dont allow sms tones to be changed from the generic ones that come on the phone.

  • thank you for your posting it has solved a problem for me i have been trying to change the alert tone for weeks and i just done it whoohooo thank you again.

  • well i got this fone cos i like samsung fones never had a bad one last one was d900 and it was great. wot a bad choice i made. message alert tone is crap it only makes 3 beeps and its so quiet i cant hear it. i keep missing messages i find them like half hour later after i get them. the volume does go up and down all the time when im talking to ppl. not played much music on it yet but it seems ok. camera is ok takes good pics. blue tooth is fast but u can only do one item at a time how annoying i have found it. wont get another samsung prob go back to nokia again. just got my daughter a sony erricson w580i wot a great fone wish i had one myself. stay away from a u700 series

  • I got mine last night, very sexy! Vodacom dealer said that Samsung will sort out if the silver comes off and I got a second phone free, so I got a backup if this one needs to go in for fixing! So far I'm enjoying it lots!

  • BIGGEST JUNK EVER MANUFACTURED, DROPS CALLS ALL THE TIME ,DIALS BY IT SELF . SPEAKER BLAST MY EARDRUMS OUT OR NO SPEAKER ,PARDON THE CAPS BUT I MUST SHOW MY FRUSTRATION. Samsung Head OFFICE called me and told me it just need an adjustment, busy with Vodacom my subscriber to replace this useless phone . Battery life non existent , this is my repaired phone only in use for two months using for business which already cost me a lot of aggrevated customers SO PSE DONT BUY THIS JUNK YOU WILL REGRET IT FOREVER everybody that i know is getting rid of theirs. My Biggest COMPLAIN: calls goes on hold with incoming calls AND to try and retrieve impossible , and then it drops the calls . I have been using cellphones for ten years but this is the biggest nightmare i have ever owned.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey everyone here i gonna 2 buy this mobile U700 and i want 2 know plz if had any problems with the network or its quality used or any thing a bout it plz tell me if i ve correct opinion 2 buy it or i ve 2 think again about it everyone tested this phone plz tell me a bout if its a good phone like what its seems or what!!! waiting ur replays

  • first the pros: its a beauty, cool and sexy. that's where the advantage begins and ends. its one piece of junk and will become a very expensive paper weight unless i can sell it. the cons: battery life is dismal. it will last for only 24 hours, tops. the phone is not in 3g mode, it is used only for texting with one or two calls that last for a couple of minutes. had the unit and battery replaced where i bought it and it was the same poor performance. the touch pad is very finicky, its irritating to use. in short people, buy at your own risk. i bought instead nokia E51 and no regrets so far.

  • well, i had mine for like 7 months now.. got no problem with it.. it depends on how you take care of it..

  • It is a terrible phone, just dont buy it

  • I am having similar problems like another person that posted a comment. I am not receiving any phone calls or text messages. The phone was working just fine for a month and all of sudden it stopped working. I have tmobile and have been working with them for the past 2 weeks and they dont know why it's not working... any suggestions?

  • Dont buy this samsung U700, the screen is scratched and has peeled. The phn only 3mths old..and dont play full volume for ur MP3 because the speaker will crack..

  • upulcranga It wont slow down if you have a small amount of data on it..if you have heaps it will, no doubtly, be a drag

  • hmm at first when i got this phone i had no problems with it at all. until recently, the phone cannot receive or send any texts or calls and etc. it says that i have full service and it is connected to a network (t-mobile) but i just can't call anybody or anything. it annoys me cuz sometimes i really need to get through. any body else had a problem similar to mine? feel free to email me.

  • If I ataached a 2GB Card, will the 4n slow down ? Plz I need a reply quickly.

  • nothing its verey god tlephone

  • hi..can anyone help me with u700 low volume problem? especially when i play mp3 songs.. i hope there's a way...tnx

  • i been using it for a good 6 months now. the problem with U700 is mainly the touch buttons at the top. they get pressed un-necessarily and at times dont respond to when pressed. voice quality is little low as well. on a whole it doesnt justify the price it is sold for though it has come down to AED 1,199. i think AED 800 would be a more suitable price.

  • i have never used samsung before, can anyone tell me is samsung phones support themes like sony ericsson's?

  • im having problem with my flashled it wont turn on even if im using in my camera still not working...i think it was busted or something...but its only 5months old phone...anyone knows the solution for this problem thanks in advance...

Any help?? When i put my t-mobile sim card after awhile the phone starts to search for the network and then it shows limited service.. any advice what i should do to fix it?

  • The samsung u700 is an ok phone except i got it 2 weeks ago and 2 day after purchase it looked second hand. all the screen was scratched and all the paint work is coming off don't buy this phone its rubbish.

  • I have now owned this phone for almost a year and I have to admit I'm really unimpressed. At first glance, the phone looks great, but within three months, almost all of the chrome finish had worn off. The software is excellent, but completely incompatable with mac platforms. The battery life has become so short I need to charge my phone twice a day. The alarm speaker is too quiet and seldom wakes me up. The navigation wheel is jammed and doesn't work. The centeral "apply" button spring went about 4 months ago, and also doesn't work. Frustrating! I know three people who have also owned this phone for a period and all of them complain bitterly. Mainly about the touch-sensitive buttons which are impractical and placed too close together. It is really easy to hit the cancel button while typing a sms, which drives me blinking mad. Sorry Samsung, I'm switching back to more a reliable Nokia.

  • Samsung U700 is one of the most stylish and sleekish mobile that you can find. The battery lifespan is not bad despite a lot of people commented that the battery would only last less than 4hours even on standby. I have been listening to music, calling people and it can even last me one and a half day. The battery lifespan is much improved. Great 3.2 megapixels camera with autofocus. We can even set our own sms alert tone. The ringtones is not that loud enough but when u fix the earpiece.. Omg.. Its louder than Sony Ericsson K800i. Great phone and worth to buy. 3.6Mbps HSPDA phone.. Excellent phone created by Samsung. But if it includes WiFi on this phone, this make it a perfect phone. The camera is better than Nokia N73. It is not 4 times zoom but 13 times zoom. Good job Samsung. Hoping to try Samsung U900 Soul. An upgrade of Samsung U700.

  • Hi, i lost my samsung D900i and i was very upset cos i loved that phone, i happend to go out today and bought myself a u700 but now reading all of these comments its actually making me wonder, is the samsung u700 really such a bad phone. Fine on the whole samsung battries dont last long i know cos ive been through 5 samsung phones already from the e360 e370 to the e250 z500 d900i then now the u700. I like samsung phones im aware of the peeling and vodacom told me they will have it resprayed cos its under warrenty till like forever. Lets hope i dont have as many problems as u guys are having. Im a die hard samsung fans, nokia are for old ppl - too user friendly i like challenges. ;)

  • no i think you should buy it i have it and it really is a great phone.

  • well my problem is solved! I already downloaded a game in my phone... how?... just go to browser then just download some games in the menu that is compatible with the phone... but you can't download a java software from computer... but it's still ok... sounds???... the first time you let your u700 play music it's really disappointing because its really low but when you always let play example for 4 hrs. no stopping in playing some mp3 songs... the sound or the sound of the phone will get louder and louder! So, U700 is very a great phone... and to prevent the peeling thing on your case just put a crystal case or g-mask it... thanks! I recommend this phone to all people! It's the best!

  • To lock your phone, The standard lock no. is 1234 on all phones then u can change it as u please

  • Hi everybody, I have had my mobile phone for a couple of weeks now and so contented I am having such a marvelous mobile. There are also some problems with it undeniably but the aapearance beauty vanishes them all. Is there anyone here who knows how to boost its battery charge?? or anyone knowing how to protect its LCD?

  • my problem is i have samsung u700,and i want to lock my phone.but i dont now phone lock code, i want to on my phone lock system , then after no body can see my sms and call , how i can do that thanks

  • After i have read all this posts about u700, i really don't want to buy it any more. I want someone to clear me about this phone, should i buy it or not? Thank you all.

  • Heard U700 discontinued....True?

  • I have samsung u700 it's very nice and elegant.I only had it for 2 months and it's have very low sound and more disadvanteges.

  • ""Can somebody pls tell me how do I download and change the sms tone of my U700? It seems that I can only use the standard msg tones that the phone is sold with. Can I change that?"" Yea you can, just go to your main menu --> Settings --> Phone Profiles --> (Highlight Normal) and press options --> Edit --> Press right on your wheeley --> Message Alert Tone --> options --> Change and it should give you the option of using the preset tones or a tone of your own =)

  • I didnt like it, i bought it and exactly 2 months later i sold it :s, yeah it looks nice but 1- you cant change the Thems 2- You cant install jad,jar applications on it 3- Its sound is a little bit quiet and more disadvantages, so i just dont recomment this phone :) Thanks

  • SGH-U700 Pros.... Stylish (the black one is hte best) Elegant 3G High speed internet thin center wheel Cons.... could not replace the themes Question.. -Can i d-load a Game from EA-Mobile coz i really want NBA Live on my phone. - Is there anyway i can replace the themes. -How can i maximize the battery life. - Where are the EMOTICONS...(i have it in my SGH-E250 but i can't find it wiht U700.) ANSWERS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Please don't compare U700 to other phones...they're incomparable....this is far a great phone than those you compare with.

  • i have this U700 for nearly 3weeks now. I can say its a great phone. when my workm8s saw it. they say 'its Hot!(it really is). Its stylish, elegant(you can even use the screen as a mirror)thin, the center wheel is very unique and it has a very smooth slide. Samsung is really the best when it comes to slide phones. I've already d-loaded games in it(it doesn't have pre-installed games)and i've also used mp3 as msg ringtone. This is really a great phone except for the battery. i'm having it fully charged in the morning, not using it but when it comes overnight...the next day, i find it it drained.(i've already read the opinions here, maybe its really the ambient temp. and the poor signal that affects the batt. life.) overall....a success for samsung. Great phone! A phone for Smart people! (for hte ones complaining its not user friendly, READ THE USER'S MANUAL & THE VIEW THE CD MANUAL PROVIDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE PHONE AND YOU'LL FIND U700 TO ONE OF THE GREATEST PHONE YOU'VE EVER HAD......TNX & GOD BLESS!

  • why take it straight to Samsung when you should to it to your servies provider(MTN,voda,Cellc,Virgin) then they will send it off 2 Samsung 4 u!

  • @luke77777 I got that the same prob with my U7. The prob was on the flex/ribbon. Got it replaced for 600php. If you're from Philippines, you can try asking for a lower price for the repair.

  • HELP! i've had my U700 for 9 months now, been happy with it until recently. for some reason my TOUCHPAD occasionally doesn't work. The phone seems to be stuck in a loop doing things as if i was using the thouchpad but i've no control. this problem goes on and off and becomes irritating. can anyone suggest how to fix that. thx

  • *2767*3855# try this code...

  • Setup my u700 on my pc.got software cd and usb cable

  • marianna you have to change ur firmaware so that u can used mp3 type message alert tone in your mobile...

  • The Samsung u700 has no hole for a phone strap, though being a girly girl like myself; I have discovered another way in having a phone strap. On the side of your camera there is this little box-like-thing (both sides) if you open that little plastic part (just use your nails and pull it out), you will find a screw under it (this screw connects the phone casing together) if your able to open the screw you can hook your phone strap string around the screw and screw the screw back in its place, be sure to screw it in deeply =) The peeling problem happens to all Samsung u700 phones, though I think you might be able to find phone casings on ebay to replace the scratched cases for a new one, also 1 of my friends mentioned that they bought a special paint which is worth quite a lot but im not so sure if it looks the same as a unscracthed phone. goodluck

  • hi just bought the samsung u700 very disappointed the phone lacks features that the u600 had the sensative keys getting annoying you carnt use video clips on your contacts you also carnt change the messenger alerts tones with your own also you cannot see the images on the tv the phone is nice looking but lacks these features i wont be keeping mine

  • @meowski Sadly yes.. T-T huhuhuhu.. I think the problem is on the ribbon. Its the wires connecting the main body(keypad) and the screen. I had this fon for just 5 months but now its already wrecked.

  • hey guys! does anyone here ever encountered of malfunction of the soft touch keys whenever the slide is up? mine is already not working whenever the slide is up. it made my texting and calling difficult for me. thanks guys.

  • this the worst phone ever im now on my 3rd phone with in 3 monthes its uless not worth a bean

  • heya everyone!thanks for the one who answered my query about the video time.anyway, i already discovered how i can have unlimited video time on it. when you are on video mode,go to options(the left button) then find the one which has the options LIMIT FOR MMS,10 SEC,30 SEC,FOR FULL MEMORY. Ofcourse you select FOR FULL MEMORY. Have a great day everyone!

  • great phone pros sexy, sleek design.. internet's awesome interface is professional and pleasing to the eyes audio's awesome mine has that thing for straps cons the haptic feature can get annoying at times scrollwheel's the bomb.. sounds during video playback sucks sliding it up is hard.. overall, its an awesome phone..

  • Sometime the phone doesn't receive incoming call and cant make outgoing calls . please help me !!!!!!!!!! =(

  • Can somebody pls tell me how do I download and change the sms tone of my U700? It seems that I can only use the standard msg tones that the phone is sold with. Can I change that?

  • damn.. 2 flex in a 2weeks.. what a waste.. they should improve their flex

  • to get rid of keypad tone settings >> phone profiles >> normal(in my case) click options >> edit >> go right twice and you'll see the symbol of phone with speaker and you turn the power on type to "MUTE" and your keypad tone is gone =] and about time of downloading mp3 why don't you try to use card reader instead? it's wayyyyyy faster all you have to do is just copy the mp3s from your source and paste them on your phone's file i use this phone for 4 months and don't have any single problems with it!!! the silver cover is not pealing off either do you give it enough good care that it would not peal off? i put my phone in a thick cloth case all the time i don't use and the touch you're talking about why don't you just go to touch sensitivity and make it harder to touch you just really need to get use to it, you know? i think this phone is great and whoever is going to buy it, do so!!!

  • I have had this phone for about a year now and it preformed wonderfully. I had no problems and loved everything about it except for 2 things. over time the sliding mechanism got a little dirty and resulted in fairly difficult opening of the phone (not a problem just a little bit of a nuisance). Secondly, my phone recently died... I did not drop it, get it wet, or try to install any software; it just died. Overall a wonderful phone.

  • I have had this phone for 3 months and the lcd display is jumping all over the place. I am having a terrible experience with this phone, can anybody post a similar experience with this phone and how to resolve it?
