Samsung U800 Soul b - User Reviews

  • I have this kine of phone, and this is very useful, but my phone is now broken, before i can still use it but now i cannot. im so sad and i hope sansung will bring this back.. i want to have this kind of phone again

  • Is it available in the market? I want to buy this mobile.

  • i also think so

  • I've had this phone now since 2008 or 2009, so over 5 years, and the battery is still going strong. If I make phone calls / txts / some light browsing, then it might last 3 days, otherwise on idle it still lasts about 1 week! :) I've dropped it a few times, but not really noticeable as the black hard rubberish-like substance has protected it mostly. Otherwise, the middle rocker-key has come off by itself once, and then super-glued back on :) The other massive down-side is the really rubbish microphone, so people can't hear unless you speak up, or in a closed environment, or put your hand near microphone to drown-out the external sounds. Another massive downside is that despite the large storage, it has a fixed storage for messages, so it only holds about 210 sms messages in inbox, and 200 sms messages in sent items - so pretty stupid thinking from samsung. Another huge downside is the rubbish cpu, so even browsing menu's is very slow, so web browsing using Opera mini or the rubbish Netfront browser requires a lot of patience! The only reason I don't replace it is because Android is spyware, iPhone's are too expensive and too distracting, so no other choice. And the newer feature phones from Nokia have terrible display quality (low colour and ppi), and terrible camera, and Firefox OS is too primitive and hard to get in the west, and Symbian is dead and it has massive memory leak issues, so after 2 years the phone will just die by itself. So I guess I'm stuck with this phone for several more years to come...

  • samsung u800 soul B is a very nice phone n d battery works very well......

  • I've been using this phone since 2009 and the battery still has a 2-3 week durability.

  • Using this phone since 2009. This week i encounter some problems with the micrhophone. I have to up-close to my mouth so the other person i talk to can hear me well. 3 days battery.

  • i had u800 mobile 2 year ago i recourd my telephonic conversation in that time the file type that its recorded is SQCP now i cant manage it many converter i tried many Player i tried but i cant found any result can any one help me that how can i play these file type?

  • cant open document viewer file unsupported format

  • some codes for this beautiful phone: *#0*# and *#0228# .much luck .Alex from Romania

  • MicroSD FLASH TRANSCEND 16gb hc works ok without uptimes. Wery good and style phone. But cpu is too slow

  • it does not have wifi my friend

  • hi sir. i have also samsung soul b. how did you access the wifi internet? because we have our own internet in our house. pleas help me. tnx a lot

  • its .jar

  • Come in Macedonia u can find only for 90$ :) :)

  • Hi Guys, im looking for this phone day and night but i can't find it in stores. Can some1 assist where can i find this phone and buy. i use to have it before but i lost it.

  • I got this phone in 2008 but luckly switch on this phone in 2012 its amazing. request to samsung please launch next version in touch screen.

  • For it's size and the time it was released this phone is truly amazing. Excellent. I think samsung should consider making a new version of this phone

  • this handset is very good handset

  • I love this phone! I have this for like 3 years now, and except for a few scratches and where the paint has peeled off, and the shorter battery life, it still keeps going. It also doubles a reliable 3G modem when I couldn't pickup a WiFi signal on my laptop. If there's one thing I could change I wish it could use both Bluetooth and Modem function as the same time, otherwise it's one heck of a phone. P.S. When I use this as a modem and it's been at it for a few hours, it would get really hot and would sometimes cause it to hang and reboot. The workaround is to make sure you keep it cool

  • my phone is Samsung U-800 but it is a missing.How to find that phone?I have a EMI Number....

  • i loved it..i bought this phone Dec.of 2008,i fell down many times..i lost it for 3 times,but still i find it..its! amazing! still working,i love u samsung Korea..

  • Please do basic troubleshooting: 1. Turn your phone off and on. 2. Remove the battery from your phone. 3. Remove the simcard and microsd memory card for at least 2-5 minutes. Hope it helps.

  • my phone fell for more than 10 times now since i bought it or maybe more than that lol! and it is still working! haha.. ^^ it's a firm and a great phone for me! i have this phone for more than two years now.. the only problem i've had in this phone was the buttons were falling off and the paint peels off too! if you don't wanna experience those, you should not use it while your hands were wet and don't leave it under the sun.. you shouldn't be reckless like me! =)hope this helps for those people who wants to buy this phone! =)

  • i do have this tipy of a fone, it´s very nice but sometimes it´s make me feel like bouring becouse it´s doens´t gave acess to use internet on the fone. i bought my fone on 2010 a till today i still have it....

  • I own one..the only problem i have is a weak network signal specially indoors.. nevertheless..i rate it as 9/10. clear camera..excellent sound quality..stylistic body slim..

  • The phone is just awesome. Collosal memory. Wish I could buy it again.

  • how to install games fo SGH-U800., i tried to download games,but sad to say unssupported files. What is the format for the games?

  • i love this phone...i can't access my camera, its always says try again? can anyone help me?

  • 3aCV1b

  • i've been planning to buy this phone..was it really a good phone?

  • Got this phone a long time now, it's perfect! for littkle phone great speaker. Good camera. Nice and small. A real Phone!

  • I'm just so sad I lost my U800 awhile ago. That's why I tried to have one last look at this. It has been with me for 2 years. It really is a good phone. Its durable, user friendly, and the specs, perfect.

  • Claimed to have SyncML - which it doesn't have. Sucks a lot. Has proprietary power/audio connectors instead of USB-mini and 3.5 mm connector. Has a worse antenna compared to all other phones I had.

  • a classic type of phone that so very easy to navigate i used it for over a year.. a combination of slim&light phone.. a must haves!!!

  • Hi there..i still have d soul-b in very2 good condition..

  • no

  • is this a dual sim phone?

  • I wish this was still on sale, I can't find one anymore not even second hand (here in Philippines). It seems like a perfect phone for those who just want the bare basics, although this phone is of course a lot more than that.

  • A superb phone! I don't know why Samsung advertised the U900, when they should have advertised this instead! The camera quality is one of the best ever and many people mistake it for a digicam, even though it's only a 3mp - I use it at 1.3M! I've also dropped it quite a 3/4 times, but the rubber around the edges seems to have protected it, so still no scraches or problems. The only downside, it's extremely slow (especially web browsing with the ancient and rubbishy 'NetFront' browser). The call quality is terrible - people find it very difficult to hear unless I speak up or I'm in a closed environment. And the middle 'rocker' key (up/down/left/right/enter) look as though it may fall off eventually - so I'm protecting it as much as possible. Nevertheless, as I simply only use it for SMS / Camera / and the odd phone call, the phone is simply excellent, especially the professional design.

  • @Official: No downloaded themes for it, but you have built in theme creator, with all features, including background, patterns, colour tones, transparency, button shadows, fonts. Perfect in my opinion. Phone is slow if you keep a lot of sms'es. I usualy keep only 10 -20 and works perfectly, no lags in terms of seconds. Yes, a few miliseconds you can see when entering the menu. That is miliseconds. Also, use a phone cover and it will look perfect even after 1 year. Enjoy!

  • As far as know it's not under production anymore but you can always get a second hand one. I just did that a few days ago and I'm still overexcited of it. Simply love this phone. From my point of view it's 10 out of 10.

  • I just lost this phone on new year eve. It is a great phone. Though. It fell down many time on rough surfaces (2feet) and once in a pail of water. But still working amazingly. I don't have to buy memory & have many song+pictures stored in. Another thing is its the cheapest 3G phone around as it is released few years back.I love the steel cover and many envy me of having this phone at very cheap price. I bought it only at MYR350. I wonder where they still have this. I want it back.

  • its actually durable its still run smoothly and my phone is 30 month old!!! the only down side is the metal casing is very hard to find!!!

  • can anyone please tell me if i can install downloaded themes for samsung sgh u800???

  • Dnt talk shit its fast! got deeper coverage making it go zoosh!

  • bad phone , proseceor is very slow , skin of the phone is getting out . not recomended at all .

  • signal arent good, navigation too slow, keypads are just glued--my up, down, left and right and the OK key fell somwhere--i ended up using my this unit with half naked key pads...i just love the camera very useful for me, it has really good quality...

  • the battery dooesnt last very long and my d pad has come off already after a month and i notice this phone experiences lags even just opening the menu and more noticeable when opening the sms creator. did u experienced this too or anybody?

  • this phone is ultra slow when opening anything even the menu is unbelievaly slow

  • nah man this phone is the best ever...........i dropped it how many times and its still workn...so 4 those who wana complain think again cos this phone is worth spending your money on....

  • It is a very good phone,never had any problems with it.Also been dropped many times,but it still works perfectly,very reliable handset.

  • any one tell me can we install softwares in this phone

  • I'll say the phone is ok. I had mine since may 2008 and the only problem I have is signal, but i believe thats just samsung. My daughter washed my phone twice and my husband is a mechanic and let it fall a couple a times and even drove over it and its still alive. Im starting to have problems with the battery now but i still love it. Music player is great.

  • my purple samsung u800 will turn 1 year this nov 1, 2010..still a good looking phone and perfectly working fine...wow...it really satisfies me esp with its cam..

  • this phone is no good...

  • i've had this phone and it's battery doesn't last too long

  • Hi im from the philippines, i was able to test this samsung u800 in greenhills way back several months ago, it has highly impressive specs from the interior to the exteriors aspects. the display is excellently clear and crisp, from the display capabilities alone you can say its a very high-end phone, i wanted to buy it at first but the keypads are very hard to push making texting such a labor. the keypads are highly resistive...

  • it is real that this phone have some problems with the reception (signal)and also with the battery stand-by time?please and answer

  • I saw somewhere about how to activate the u800's front camera using a code. Does anyone remember this code?

  • can i update the softwaavre of this handset to its latest? by the way whats the latest version of this software?

  • To save battery, try to adjust the display light. When i connecting on the web, i turn it off the keypad light and set to 1 in the screen light. Then, it wil run into 6hrs straight n connecting on the internet. Tried and tested.

  • hey ronaldus thanks for replying. i checked just now. actually im about to change my phone into samsung blackjack II. i think i enjoyed my u800 soulb for a while haha, but now i think i want to move on. never did get those .jar files via WAP, but will try from the new phone i will have. do u still have your u800? anyways, thanks again!

  • My brother gifted me this phone. Im using for two weeks. I do not find any problem with it. I love this mobile and its nice.

  • It is a nice, i have been using it for one year. But now it has a problem my call ends automatically ends after 30seconds and also it freezed. Who knows its unfreezin code and solutions of its problen. Pls answer

  • Such a great phone. My greatest phone so to speak. My ex-girlfriend purchased it last week, as a gift... good looking phone. Here's my review : upside + nice LED flash camera @ 3.0 mega pixel. internal memory 1 gig. external memory up to 4 gig. nice sound quality. headset/earphones are perfect. nice navigation key. elegant style/design. metallic housing. downside - not scratch resistant. Weak battery... only 3 hours talk time. ... only 2hours using blue tooth ... only 3hours listening to MP3s ........ OVER ALL........... performance - 8/10 design - 8/10 features - 8.5/10

  • theres a phone in the box

  • Jonathon, when you buy this phone, inside the box contains of course the phone, the charger, usb cable, stereo headset and mic cable, Samsung PC studio CD and a user's manual. Plus pamphlets, from what i remember of the Samsung funclub.

  • what's ur operator?? im using a smart sim, i can't browse the site u had given me.. it just prompted me no response... please help..

  • ehehe im the Anonymous guy below... Well, its really stainless steel with shiny coating. The video call quality is great! u can even shift the camera to work front or back just by pressing the camera button on the side. In short your caller can see you from the front camera and can see also from the back camera in just one press of your button

  • Hi there is the cassing of this cell metall or is it a plastic metallic finish and pleas tell me how is the quality when making a video call?

  • From your Phone you can download free wallpapers, games, and ringtones from the Samsung Fun Club. My operator supports it so I was happy to donload more from the site and it's free! Copy this for your phone wap browswer: enjoy!

  • my friend, it is either you have put a password in your My Files. That can delay the loading of the Phone Explorer. Turn it off from your Security Settings in the Settings menu. Or your RAM reads slowly. You can also reinstall the PC Studio..=)

  • can anyone help me? im connecting my phone in pc, i want to save pics in the pc but when i click the phone explorer it doesnt open. i dont know why.. is there a problem in my phone? help please...

  • I really am for now satisfied with this phone. My mini smart phone.

  • Kari, you should download that file via wap and not in pc. Jar and jad files can be read by samsung soul provided that you download it via wap.

  • guys, guys. maybe your phone wasn't able to read your memory card because you installed it while the phone is in use. You SHOULD TURN OFF THE PHONE THEN INSERT the memory card. Works for me. Just wait for about a minute for database update, then you can access it. Changes may occur especially in the Camera. An additional function may appear, which is Storage Options, will let you choose if phone or memory cards. Check also the durabilty and the quality of your card. Phone accepts up to 8gb. glad i can help

  • ....im talking bout opening my memory card using the phone..not via pc... ..anyway..if u goto menu-settings-memory settings,,theres a memory card settings option...but its unavailable/Unclickable......its a great phone but wtf is a memory card slot for?!..if u cant open it on the phone itself....i kept searchin the web but found no answer, ...i think we really need to discuss more on this problem,is it a firmware problem?

  • do u have the samsung pc studio? you can access your memory card through that =)

  • i kept searching in the net for a solution. i guess there must be some information that we are missing from the manual. i will keep trying to find a way. and after i do, i will post it here. i hope u contact me too if u find out first. its a great phone really. we just need to know more about it

  • ...me too!.i cant open my memory card!

  • I can't see document Document viewer application. Can any one say how i open PDF file in my mobile

  • can i download opera mini for this phone?? and how?? a biG tHanx

  • i just got my samsung u800 soul b a couple of days ago and contrary to some reviews i've read, i was able to find that this phone is indeed a great one... yes, it's not as expensive, as popular or perhaps as technologically advanced as the iphone or other android phones, but this phone really is a good investment.. 1.) its heft and built makes it feel really solid in the hand 2.) it really looks sophisticated and not cheap... 3.) compared to my previous phones, this phone just brings elegance in to my hands... 4.) its pretty secure... my only gripe about it is that it tends to lag a bit when scrolling for photos and contacts... as for the other concerns i've read before re: changing the ring tone and the volume level, i've read before that people said you can't change the tone and the volume level is quite on the quiet side... well, for the ringtone, i just changed it... both for calls and for sms... its a pretty simple task... once you've transferred the file you want to use, just go to phone profile, edit, select which tone you want (there's an option there that's gonna ask you if you want to use your own music file), select that option, select the file you want to use and voila! you've changed it, no problem... being that this phone really looks elegant, i thought that it deserves an elegant albeit a really high class ring tone... since i once salivated for a prada 2, i decided to go to prada's website and downloaded ringtones 1, 2, 3... i then converted those files to mp3 and sent them via bluetooth to my phone... now, i'm using it as message alert tone, voice call ringtone and video call ringtone... that easy... as for the volume, yeah, its a downer to have an elegant phone and yet have it sound weak, but that's okay... its not really a big problem for me since i always put my phones on vibrate mode... re: battery, i find no problems with it... i haven't charged it for 2 days now and the batt's still on 2-bar level... i appreciate how samsung really put attention to the details of this phone physically... having a stainless steel phone has always been a dream and thanks to my dad, i have it now... its like having a vertu phone yet less expensive... i was kinda hoping that samsung included a pouch bag in the box, but hey, no problem i already have one... thanks samsung...

  • can u zoom in on the camera

Most of my gadgets were bought there and save me a lot :) Before you buy, try also to read some reviews on it. Regards.

SO PLEASE TURN-ON your MOBILE TRACKER FEATURE of your U800 CP... you can input contacts of your friends whom to be notified if in case somebody took hold of your phone and changed the SIM... so once the thief or the illegal buyer inserted his new sim! viola! it will be automatically sent to your contacts... now it will be your time to befriend and locate the thief! OR if you just want your CP to be BLOCKED and DEACTIVATED just go to your nearest NTC for the BLOCKING transaction FOR FREE just bring with you: (yeah personal appearance needed!) a) the IMEI sticker, it is with the orig box (CP serial number); b) receipt from the cell shop where you bought it; and c) two valid ID's REMEMBER! your CP will be USELESS (they say so, as of now!) after blocking it! so be sure to LOOK for your CP if you just accidentally misplaced it... visit:

  • i got a u800 .and i am very satisfied with this mobile. and about the card...that 2gb micro sd..depend on every country if they have this card or not in the box with the mobile.

  • My phone was droped Into the water yesterday, it sunk for a second before i take it back. The phone wasn't die but i turned it off because i'm worry if it will get short circuit, dry it and turn on this back, n nothing happened to my phone, everything is very well until today! So glad!

  • No, im not an employeer, i just the owner of u800, i was bought u800 a month ago, and in my u800 Box i got leather pouch and 2gb msd -i just let anyone knw tht- maybe im forget to say that the package is depend on ur country and mayb different with a package in my country.

  • You a SAMSUNG employee? Running a SOHO business? Own your own eBay store? A recovering R3TARD?

  • im very disappointed to the store where i purchased my u800, when i discovered to this forum that it includes a leather pouch and 2g card because mine has none. I know its my fault because of my excitement i didnt bother that the boxed the salesman gave is an open box because thats the only unit left on that color so it dosnt matter,, but wat i am having difficulties to accept the fact that there are some stores are not so honest to their costumers. Its just a pouch and card but what is important is the honesty and service they gave to their costumers.. A certain store at TRINOMA, i forgot the name of the store but ill check it out again. tnx

  • eventually they told me that they only fix the software..and they told me they just reset it. but today, i just visit their store and check my phone, there is still no signal. i not mad but i was not born yesterday.. they told me if they going to replace the main board, they will show me the old one.. isn't that insulting?? what i want is that i want my phone to work normally without encountering signal problem.. i hope they will solve the problem as much as possible because the phone was only a month old to me... anyway guys, thanks for your help.. and i still need your opinion with what the mainboard replacement would be..

  • i already done that network selection.. i just bring it back to the store.. unfortunately today, they texted me that the phone had been repaired.. i visited their store, i check my phone and insert my sim.. supposedly, when u open the phone, there will be a signal.. but i encountered the same problem.. i turn my phone on and check manual network selection,, the message appear that searching network was failed and there is still no signal. i showed that to the sales person. they checked again the phone together with the technician. after some minutes, the sales person told me that there is a problem with the main board.. it will take 2-3 weeks to change the main board.. my question is: i had already talk to them, if they there will be no mainboard from samsung, within 3 weeks.. can i demand for the replacement for the unit??? my friends told me that what happened was a defective unit.. so i deserve for a replacement. and i still have full warranty. but i still give the chance for the store to fix the problem.. i am very, very disappointed with what happened.. i been using several phone since 2002, but this is the first time i get involve with this problem with what they talking about with the main board... i hope they will not take for granted with this problem..

  • Yes. The leather case n 2gb memory is included in d box-

  • is a 2 GB memory card and a leather pouch ncluded in the package?

  • make it 10 pound more expensive, but please add wlan, samsung

  • U are commented on a wrong forum, there's no junk words or meaningless comment in this forum... I can only find praise, question, answer, and any other helpfull suggest in this forum,are you reading all the comments? And i'ant using twitter, i'm only using facebook;-) cos u are here in a soul bravo or soul brain forum not in the soul brat forum- cheers

  • This open forum is turning into a cesspool. Most of the people here belong to the fragile-ego segment. One helpful and decent post would cause a hundred of junkies to start their meaningless yelping. I wonder why! Isn't Twitter enough for them?

  • I love this phone and a leather case given in the box! For u who like a stylish and function phone don't hesitant! This phone 'harvest' alotof praise from the other! Don't worry about it minus cos only you'll know that!

  • where is the document viewer found?

  • By the way ... PLEASE make sure that the phone profile is set to "Normal". It must be done before anything else. Menu > Settings > Phone Settings > Profiles > Select "Normal".

  • Everybody -- and everything -- deserves a second chance. And so, let's try the following two steps -- just to be sure. Might sound like an overkill though. STEP ONE : Menu > Settings > Network Settings > Select Network > Try "Automatic" then try again with "Manual". In "Manual" mode, try to "select" and "register" with your SIM service provider. STEP TWO : Menu > Settings > Network Settings > Network Mode > change here and try out.

  • the question is??? would it be possible for the store top replace my phone??? i had the official receipt and the warranty card.. im very disappointed... i hope the problem would be the network... but i had tried both networks.. either don't work with this phone...

  • i just purchased this phone last month.. i have just read all the opinions.. and i had found out that this phone is amazing.. but the problem is that there is no signal for both network..this is the first time i had encounter this problem.. i am going to send it back to the store and tell them to fix this problem...

  • here in the philippine have a block user but i dont know if u800 have...

  • Yes, but in my country that feature isnt available, the feature is disabled so we cant block message, we can only block an email-

  • The reject/block feature of U800 -- for SMS, MMS and incoming calls -- is a built-in feature. NOT depending on country/region and/or service provider. Rejecting Messages : Menu > Messages > Settings > Text Messages > Block Number Or, while reading an SMS in Inbox, go to "Options" to find "Add to block list". No separate block list for multimedia messages. Once a number is blocked for SMS then MMS would also be blocked from that number. Rejecting Calls : Menu > Call Log > Call Manager > Reject List Here you can enter numbers by typing or go to "Options" to "Add" numbers from Phonebook, FDN Contacts, Groups, Recent Contacts. Simple and easy. That's why I just don't like SAMSUNG -- I just LOVE it.

  • Its depend on ur country

  • had this phone,it was one of my favorites.back of phone scratches VERY EASILY.do not know how but it must be the coating they put on the steel.otherwise,photos do not do this phone justice.samsung puts out nothing but great looking,reliable phones.this is one of their best.i miss it.get one,they are also cheap.189 us dollars.my shipping was incl.phone is beautiful!!!sold it to buy a brand new in box u100-5.9mm samsung.always wanted one.

  • i have had 14 phones since 2004,this is the best one.once you go samsung, you should never go back.this phone is smaller than you think.loud,crystal clear reception from incoming calls,that feature alone is worth the money,and lets face it,this phone is alot nicer looking than the nokia 6500 classic.btw i honestly think that nokias look and feel C H E A P.why is that?

  • re U800 vs G800 they're not in the same league, and comparing them is like comparing to apples and oranges. better find out what you NEED and WANT for a phone, before making a decision between the two.

  • MY CP is NOW my WIFE... heherheh just use it wisely... to eventually test the front camera vibra alert dimming speaker channel resonance.... just press on the key pad *#0*# ... it's cool... to minimize battery expenditure... just set the network selection to manual... do not use the 3g as main-on operating within the network system... the Edge and GPRS automatically switches when 3g is not available... but it is better to set it on GPRS mode that doesn't juice down your cell... by the way the WAP SITES are for free very very recommended during your lull moments... wap.ego, amob, moko.mobi are all cool SUPER FREE SITES very compatible with our phone

  • which is better u800 or g800? i'm just comparing dat 2 because they have great specs.,the camera of g800 is 5mp while this is 3mp only,but g800 is thick,looks chubby while u800 is very thin and stylish. by d way,wat's the price of dat 2?

  • Hey everyone. If i buy this phone can you minimize applications and switch between them. Also is the browsing fast because of the 3G connectivty. Any help would be greatly appreciated as im real amped to upgrade from my Lg ks360.

  • Hi everyone. just got this phone last week. works fine but i have one major problem. can messages be viewed while a phone call is active? if so, how? thanks

  • what shop can i buy the cheapest u800 in sm north? thanks

  • there's edgecom at Sm Manila too.

  • i like samsung u800.is very wonderful phone & sexy phone

  • this is a good phone. 8gb memory external, i am very like u800. VIVA SAMSUNG

  • is there a way that i can upload videos on this phone? how if yes?

  • What about shops in Megamall? Southmall is way far.

  • holding the # key down lets you access all the symbols even while in T9 mode.

  • u can buy it at SM Southmall las pi�as. P6570 only. edgecom.

  • i sms a LOT (50-60/day) and ever since the first day of usage i had to reboot once every day because the phone just randomly fails to send messages. Rebooting takes care of the problem and you can text again right away, but the same thing happens again within a day of moderate messaging. Also, symbols like parentheses cannot be used while in T9 mode. For the screen, having seen a few nokia 16M's i highly doubt this is truly a 16M screen. The numpad is one-piece but despite that, i don't have much trouble with my huge fingers. Pictures may not be enough to tell, but this phone has a very stylish paintjob. Very sexy and great value.

  • Anu po un kasama sa box? my adapter ba for 3.5mm jack?

  • san ka po nakabili for 6.5k? Does it hav warranty?

  • MEGA WOW... holding it in my hand... SUPERB!!! 8 gig! I can jam in 2,000 MP3's in it... the earphone's sounds like a senheisser...GPRS/MMS? so so jiffy!!! the WAP is uber fast... the cam? mediocre... eventhough it claims to be 3MP the housing easily scratched and etched with OVER ALL it is a very worthy investment at only PhP6,500.00 LOVE IT WE ARE NOW INSEPARABLE

  • Where do you set how SMS messages are stored? I've just noticed that messages are being stored in the SIM and I would rather have it saved automatically to the phone's memory instead.

  • i bought this phone a week ago...great performance.at the early,i have problem with it..because this is my first time i use samsung.but all OK now.

  • is there a memory card included in the package? thanks

  • what's the best color 4 this unit? planning 2 buy one. thanks guys

  • this is one of the lightest and the decent set and also very compatible to use.

  • I'm going to buy a phone!.. Which is better, samsung U800 or SE G700?

  • I just bought my phone today for 7,095pesos at Memoxpress SM Cebu...

  • The UI takes a bit getting used to, but that's normal when you switch brands or models. This is my first samsung phone having "turned my back" from an old-time favorite SonyEricsson and I'm not regretting it a bit. Should it be surprising that it works out of the box as a data modem for Ubuntu, which is my real reason for getting it? The keys takes a bit of pressing, maybe it's just new and needs some time to get them all worked up but I got no complaints right now.

  • Hi im currently being offered in my plan a new Nokia 6303 or a Samsung U800. What do you think should i choose? From a looks standpoint i like the sleek look of the Samsung Phone better but the Nokia 6303 is a newer phone. What would the experts out there suggest? Please advise thanks!

  • I just bought this phone and the battery seems to run out quickly,is the something that i can do to better the performance,but other than that happy with the phone.

  • ows... ayus yan ah... maganda b un phone and lalo n un cam mhilig kc ako sa pics eh..

  • I just bought this phone and i am in love with the sleek design.Performance and features are average-nothing to rave about,nothing very bad either.

  • Bought one a awhile ago at Samsung Glorieta for PhP7.5k with One Year Warranty and they'll give it to you in a Sealed Box po =)

  • Keys kinda crowded for texting (for me) but you'll get used to it after some use. Battery is really good. Display is crisp. Sounds are loud enough to hear even when outside. Has 3G and Secondary Video up front for its price is nice. Has internal of 1GB. Slot for MicroSD. Earphones included are In-Ear which is a nice plus. One thing i didn't like is in the sent items of the Messaging. You can't seem to sort it out according to date sent which i find odd. It should have been a default setting. Other than that a very nice phone for its price range. Lastly Metallic Black is better than Silver =)

  • thanks so much... this month lang po ba yun?

  • thanks so much.. this lng po ba un?

  • Elow! When my mother bought it, it costs about13,000 to 14,000, tnx:-)

It was great at first, but after 2 months, the metal protective coat started to peel off and then it just died on me a few weeks later, when i tried to get it fixed i was told that "samsung cannot be held responsible for the damage to the phone" and that was it, no warantee. Dont buy this phone, go for the Nokia 6120c instead, besides the camera its a much better phone.

  • does anyone know were the cheepest place 2 get one is??

  • howz the music on this phone? do you the ear bud headphones or the normal ones?

  • I've owned this phone for a few months. Spec wise it's good. Unfortunately it's SLOW. It's the most frustrating phone I've ever owned. I've REALLY tried to speed it up: - I've de-branded the phone's firmware to Samsung default (to get rid of the slow theme) - I've turned off the key sounds (moving around on the menus it waits for the sound to finish before doing anything) - I've switched to custom theme (all the built-in ones have fancy clocks and things on the main screen which slow it down considerably) It's still slow. It's like they've tried to make it as slow as possible. Unlocking is a case in point. It used to be Menu then * on my previous Samsung. I could do it milliseconds. They've ruined it to be * for two seconds but only when no menus are prompts are active does it work. So you press a key and find your mobile is locked and it pops up a message saying "Press * for two seconds" so you have to wait 4 seconds for the message to disappear and then press * for two seconds. 6-8 seconds to unlock! Ahhgg. James

  • wats d price??

  • muhammad, you can,t make mistake if you buy it! only you can have a blister on your thumb in first few days (joke,joke..) but in time you will get used on that, and the buttons will "soften" in time, j hope too!! but it is a sturdy "heavy-metal" phone for respect! and, all in one: -massive, metal, thin, but beautifull...

  • j just come home with brand new u800, and spent some 3 hours "playing" with it. all metal, massive, exactly what j like... good camera, fantasic display. the only thing j do mind is "little"-too much hard buttons for typing messages, but appereance is avesome! beautifully designed phone! just check out the memory... 1g.. j vote 10+...

  • Did anyone see a _JAVA_ app using bluetooth successfully on U800 for anything at all? All java test run on the phone report JSR82 (bluetooth API) as 1.0 present, yet all java apps fail to open bluetooth. BT works normally with the phone's integrated services (file transfer etc.), but not at all through java. I'm trying to connect to my external BT GPS with various java map-apps supporting that, but none is able to.

  • dear my name is muhammad abrar hussain and i want to buy this phone samsung u 800 soul. plz tell me honestly that how this phone is and can i purchase it as a good cell phone. Regards

  • anyone know if i can change the text alert tone? love it apart from that!

  • This are the best Samsung Ever.It can mxit.And the sound problem get the code`s it works.Camare are very good.Print it and se your selfs.

  • rubbish phone...looks are deceiving reasons: 1. the phone is slow and menus sluggish 2. the phone scratches very easily 3. limited tweaking/personalization 4. drops calls unexpectedly 5. bad reception....worst ever this phone looks brilliant but unfortunately looks can make up for it's major flaws. it's like a ferrari with a vw beetle engine....ridiculous

  • dnt worry u can get mxit i have this fne its nt da best fone but it is nice tho

  • super glue for the center button/navgation key..kips falling off the first time but its ok now..so far..

  • got this fone just a week ago.. it just a nice fone.. maybe its not perfect because the casing is prone to scratch.

  • i'm getting this phone and i'm starting to regret it i hear it cant get mxit which is a must for me i'm from south africa plz help i'v already ordered it i think its to late to change my mind to the nokia 5310

  • Do not just go by looks..

  • sound quality so poor plz concentrate on samsung sound quality

  • okay this is important coz im in desperate NEED of a new phone and yes the U800 is stunning, but all the comments say the battery goes low??thats not good can you please say if thats a major problem?

  • yes, the battery is bad..But it'a a good phone!!! one problem: i can't take of the memory card.. :| u must have smooth fingers to takeit oF.This is my only problem

  • It's very good but no Wifi......oh my..

  • NO,wrong!!!

  • yes,it is

  • i have this phone.. camera is good during day time but you don't like taking picture during night.

  • i have this phone and its a few months old but doesnt have any scratches on it

  • uhmm..is the camera very reliable??? i mean very clear?? tnx...

  • I am sorry..What I mean is, You can not keep it in pocket without leather pouch else other small small things like pen or driving license can also make scratches.. I am experienced..

  • Yes, As I mentioned earlier, the metal case is prone to scratches..You can keep in pocket without case..

  • is the casing of samsung U800 prone to scratches???i want a new mobile and have my heart to buy this mobile but scratch issue will put me back again..plz i want honest replies

  • Good work Hindustani!!! Tenks!!!

  • The promised guide is and/or would be available at the following URL. blue-saturn.uuuq.com/1.htm Patience is a virtue. ALWAYS !!!

  • This phone is not good, I regret decision for purchasing it. Following are some points * Navigation button comes out frequently * Metal case is delecate and prone to scrathes. * Display struggles under sunlight (My Motorola E398 of 2004 had better display) * Sound volume is so less which makes MP3 player useless * Keypad is not proper for typing messages. * Bettery life is low (hardly 2 days) * Lots of features are missing in indian version (like secondary camera, living world theme, customizing of SMS tone, document viewer) Guys, Pls dont go for this model. Samsung is good for waching machines, TVs and Refrigerators.. not for mobile phones.

  • If Hindoustani doesn't post his guide, well so be it. First major problem encountered: the navigation button is coming off...Does anyone encountered this problem before? And how can I fix this?

  • I dont think Hindustani will post any guide or manual. Earlier he said he had a problem with text size. Now he is saying that it is not yet ready. Isnt it confusing? I wonder how can one prepare any manual which could be better than the manual provided by the manufaturer... So guys, pls dont wait for the so called guide which is never going to happen..

  • recently i had a problem with my unit.. it always says "loading failed" every time i'm browsing the camera album.. darn.. is there an upgrade for the firmware? or is the memory card the problem? any advice? by the way the phone is good.. except my problem.. aha...

  • TO : amboe, premus, Hankie Dear Friends, I've been working my A55 off for the guide during the last 2 weekends. Forgive me for the delay, PLEASE. The one & only one problem with me is that I'm truly unable to get anything done in the C-grade and/or B-grade way. Major problem, indeed. When the A1-grade thing will be up, you all would be here to utilize and enjoy the same. Till then ... Be Good. Be Kind. Share Love and Peace -- NOT Lust and Violence.

  • The phone is good jst one prob dont wanne take mxit.Can u please advice on that.

  • I purchased this phone a few days ago and its a good phone i must admit. The only problems i have with it is that it doesnt have menu and cancel buttons, and its battery life is extremely short, i have to charge it about twice a day. It sucks really. Ive only bought nokia phones before this one and ive decided from experience that nokia is the best, im definately going for a nokia phone next time.

  • is there any update for the software of this phone?all the nokias have updates.what about this?

  • All are waiting for the miracle ..(for the tiny guide to be published by Hindustani)..

  • 1) Put your text in a word document. 2) Upload it with rapidshare or a other filehosting site. 3) Post the link. :-) Thanks in advance!!!

  • Dear All, Please stay away from this model. I have Purchased U800 in Nov 2008 and last week it stopped working suddenly. I am from Mumbai India. I went to the Samsung service and even if it is under the warranty period, that guy asked for Rs 1500 for repairing. According to him this problem occured due to seepage of water and could not be covered under warranty. I argued a lot bcoz I know it was working on 4th night and when I got up on 5th morning the screen was blank. There is no point of water seepage. nobody did touch the phone during the night. I am going to consumer court against Samsung and will never buy any Samsung product. GSM Arena, Please publish my post so that others can also know about this incidence.

  • BTW : Solution to ray's problem is also included in that.

  • TO : amboe, premus, Hankie Dear friends, my love and respect towards GSMArena, Mobile-Review and SAMSUNG -- all of you are quite familiar with. But honestly, the text I "manufactured" is quite big. And that's why -- frankly -- I'm hesitating to post that in GSMArena forum -- no point in acting like an offending-tormenting-dictator by consuming so much of space, correct? So please help me decide -- where and how to post that text. BTW : Solution to Hankie's problem is also included in that. And the post by "nthgr" seems like a classic example of "Chaos Theory".

  • Hi there,I bought this U800 beauty a month ago and have to tell I like this phone.Design is outstanding,features as well.One question a have,how can you change the center button feature,because in my phone when I press it always the internet starts.I tried to change it but can not find solution.Thanks!!!

  • Hi, I just bought the U800 but I have a problem with the emoticons in SMS. They are now showed as text and not as a figure. Anyone knows how to change this so I can see the real emoticon?

  • Its a great phone! i have had it for awhile now and it has not given me any problems. If you are considering this phone i say, go for it! :)

  • In Indian edition of U800, You can not personalize SMS Tone..

  • It's so so good. That phone is very well from all the phones. If you do not belibe, just try it and you cans see it! Mariuss

  • What is price of phone??/ how is quality? is it a friendly user phone??

  • hi, i also owned a u800. i just want to ask if you guys are also experiencing some random square color that blocks the image or half of the image whenever i look at the picture in the album... and i also experiencing "loading failed" during browsing. is the memory card the problem or not... i'm also experiencing this whenever i switch to phone memory. thx

  • Lovely executive looking phone feel like a bussinessman when i'm holding it, Signal is bad at times thats maybe because the walls are quite thick in my house, This phone really isn't ideal for the serious texter though as you can't seem to turn the dictionary or word predictor off and this is rather a nuisance as you got to keep setting it to abc everytime you want to send a text the buttons are quite still to press as well, The phone should come with the samsung pc studio disc which is great and easy to use you can delete texts add and erase contacts ,add music and arange files easyenough, the U800 has an excellant camera nice clear pictures with numerous settings also with a flash, If you want a nice stylish slimline mobilephone this is the one for you.

  • I have been using U800 Soul B for about three months now and i have a problem with the Camcoder.Whenever i try to record a video it doesn't show a full screen on the LCD.I'm just wondering if there are any setting that i don't know of,that can change it from displaying a small screen to a full screen.Other than that the quality of photos is magnificent.

  • the phone is great. I have him but only for some time and I do not know how to review the documents and the Internet can not find the link: the link is not successful! Otherwise, you may be doing great theme, you can download all the images from your computer.

  • most of the negative comments about the samsung u800 deal with the indian or different version of the phone. also you can customize your text message tone with anything including mp3s. as for the caller ID questions, i'd like to know as well. thanks

  • somebody knows for U800 how to see bigger pictures in caller ID because , when you make or receive a call , the picture opens very small , and the only thing you see is that there is a picture, but what is in , you can't see very easy. thks

  • Good point monaco. Very decently put indeed. Thanks. If I were in your shoes, perhaps I would have written like, "Everybody should behold to his/her religion very dearly and very personally. And exclude that in each and every walk of public-life. Or else religion turns into a comic-relief." :)

  • I was wondering does anyone know how to make the texting input method permanent, because everytime i go to create a text message it comes up with T9 then i have to press the star key for it to go to the ABC imput method. its really annoying to do this every single time i want to text. PLEASE HELP x

  • uuuuuuumm........... i'm pissedup vid this phone from d day of purchase my phone the phone get stuhdown n get restarted n is very slow so jst buy it if you r planning

  • hi wislam, i didn't know that gsm arena was a religous site until u came along.please don't use the site for your own religous agenda because not every1 who use this site is a muslim.gsm arena is not the right platform 4 that,so please if don't have anything to say don't bother .the reason why we visit the site is to get information about cellphones not about the prophet mohamed.pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have just had a really bad experience with a sony ericsson w302. and now I am interested in buying this samsung u800. Is it a good phone in terms of speed? (No lagging with sms's etc) and WAP applications such as mxit and opera mini. and how is the music player? Thanks!

  • for U800E the indian version you can't personalize the sms tone.

  • yes, you can... go to the "profiles" menu and you'll be able to personalize the message tone

  • Can you personalise a messagetone?

  • i was so excited about getting this phone until i read most of the comments...should i get the nokia N77 instead?i know they not on the same league but what should i do??..i had a U700 n it just stopped working,so now i'm worried about buying another samsung

  • 1. Has this phone voice recorder and if yes - can it record during a call? 2. Is call register tabbed (All calls/Made/Received/Missed) and accesible with single push of "Call" button? Tx

  • hi, i'm jay from philippines i'm just going to ask the resolution supported in video playing with this phone. can it support 320x240px? and at what FPS? another is i wanted to open my GPRS, INTERNET, and MMS settings. but unfortunately the site given to me is not updated because my phone is not on the list.. BTW(i'm globe user)thx a lot...

  • Great phone as I only use it for sms, but some major disadvantages which leave you thinking that Samsung is dishonest. For example, total sms storage: 500. BUT, the inbox can only store a max of about ~200, and the same for the sent items. Why is Samsung using dedicated space for sms? They should use better programmers and software to store messages in its 1gig memory! For example, my Nokia 3110 only has a few megs of internal memory, but curerntly has 2850 text messages stored! Amazing! Also, after a few days, something happens where by it refuses to send messages. So you have to restart the phone at least once a week, or something. The battery bar is horribly deceiving and not accurate. To read a simple text file is amazingly horrible! It starts some rubbish "Access powered" software which can't read more than 3 pages - otherwise "Out of memory". And you can't compose text files like on a Nokia. You can't edit any files, it's read-only and you have to keep zooming-in to read even a tiny bit of text. Unbelievable. On the bright side though, the screen and supported colours is absolutely beautiful, as is the camera. Excellent quality photo's if you change resolution down to 1024. I look-after my phone like it's a baby, never dropped it and only store it in a cushioned pocket, so alhamdulillah (praise is Only due to God), no scratches as of yet. -- I testify there is no God except the 1 true God, and Mohammed is the last warner / prophet to mankind, as was Jesus, Moses, Mary, Adam & Eve, etc, before him. Saying that God has a son is unimaginably worse than me swearing against your mother. Every soul shall taste death. The life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment for a fixed time. And in the end we will all return to God and paid according to our best and worst deeds.

  • Dear ellimac2129, in my humble opinion, you may wish to check out the specs and reviews for the following phones at both GSMArena and Mobile-Review. SGH i7110, SGH B2700, SE K770, SE C902. But even before so, please make a list of your desired features. Then set priority. Because packing all our desired features in a single handset would generate a "SuperPhone" atypically contradicting business strategy -- which is noway acceptable to any manufacturer. You know how it works, yes? :)

  • I have compared its sound with moto v8 if i give v8 8.5 points u800 will get 7.

  • I AM THINKING on getting a phone for a 24 month contract, so please I want users that can be trusted my choices are NOKIA N77, NOKIA 6600 SLIDE, SAMSUNG U800 and SONY ERICSSON G700 I had the samsung U700 and it cost me a lot to have it repaired..it was a slide phone so I,m a bit concerned about getting a slider again..my ribbon flex broke after the manufactures warranty so it pretty lame.. I'm not getting positive feedback for the NOKIA N77 but I like the TV! SAMSUNG U800 is nice however im afraid to get another SAMSUNG FONE AGAIN!! BUT I was thinking this is OK since its an open faced phone..so no prob with the ribbon of flex there with the SONY ERICSSON I was thrilled it has touch screen and the fact that it has image stabilizer..but most of the opinions are saying its not that good..like it hangs... I just wanted a phone that has a pretty good camera (w/ flash, night mode etc.,)..uses a micro SD ( san disk transflash ), secondary camera for video calling, nice speakers like the samsung one (bang and olufsen technology) and a bit sturdy..I cant help it, there are times that I unintentionally drop my phone..but not too hard..I dont like too sensitive phones..size is not a problem for me..I was thinking on getting the nokia N95 however its to expensive for me..so I'll settle for this candidates.. anyone?genuises?techies?help?

  • dude have you managed to install mxit yet on your fone if yes pleez advise how

  • Does mxit even work on this fone.. it keeps giving me an installation error.. and says something 400

  • Hi, Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately the U800 I have does not have those setting options that you mentioned. Under phonebook > 8. is input method wich is something totaly different. I'm from South Africa and maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe a software upgrade might help, think I'll try that. Have to agree with you that this is one good looking phone.

  • - - - YES. You should buy it. Why? - - - 1. This is perhaps the most beautiful cellphone deviced till date -- needless to say, on Earth. 2. Slim. Well distributed weight. Very comfortable to hold in hand. 3. Also taller than the cheap-soap-case looking NOKs and burn-hole-in-pocket overpriced SEs. Hence comfortable by all means -- psychologically, too. 4. I use mechanical and digital SLRs for still photos. So unfair it would be for me to comment on its built-in camera. But there are more than enough options to toy around for you -- provided that you first successfully "discover" the keys for the camera menus and settings. [Albeit, I'll be here to help.] 5. The screen is outstanding. By God. Setting wallpapers is a TRUE pleasure. 6. The L700 in Indian market comes with the Taj Mahal as a living world theme. U800E doesn't have this theme. It's a plus, actually. I sincerely and strongly oppose setting a tomb picture -- no matter how pretty -- as anybody's phone or PC wallpaper. - - - NO. You shouldn't buy it. Why? - - - 1. The battery indicator is rigged. Never shows actual battery status. In my case, the 1st bar goes out in 2 days. The last 2 bars go out in less than a day. 2. The battery is horrifying and terrible. Plain phone calls [each less than 5 minutes] and nothing else -- a full charge lasts less than 2 days. With a 2GB card inserted, battery never lasts more than 24 hrs. No matter what you do -- or not do anything at all. 3. The speaker is the worst one in volume. Even high frequency violin, bagpipe MP3s are not audible enough to be set as ringtones. 4. SMS alert tones can NOT be customized. NOWAY !!! 5. The handsets are all invariably made in UAE. The 7h and 8th digits of IMEI -- 02. 6. Tri-band, GPRS. No 3G. No front camera. 7. Samsung India customer support will give you lots of attitude if you ever call them seeking support. They won't call you names -- that's a given, I hope. Better consult your fortune-telling witch before calling Samsung India's tele-support personnel. - - - SAMSUNG SGH U800E is the handset the above points were all about. That is the variant available in the Indian market.

  • menu > phonebook > 8.management > 3.list by > first/last name [choose here]

  • Can anyone comment on the sound Quality through the speaker as well as the headset..

  • hi there. i have had this phone now for 3 days. have put my old sim card from my se w850i into this phone, and now it shows all my contacts with the surname first. this is realy irratating and it doesn't seem to have a setting where you can change it!!! has anyone else had this problem or maybe no how to change please!!!!!!!

  • Not a fair comaprisson. The Nokia's you mention are devices that are made from higher class materials (thicker stronger metals) and are way more expensive. So one would expect a classy button in stead of that plastic, red-thing. The U800 is a nice phone but on a way lower price-scale, which also speaks out looking at the possibilities of the OS, the specs of the device, etc. Comparisson: One shouldn't cry about cheap materials on a Nissan Micra, but one could when confronted with cheap materials on a Nissan 350Z.

  • Yes the front camera and the 3G is missing in India

  • You can change your sms tone by going into settings> phone profiles> choose which ever profile u want to change> options>edit>scroll right to the message alert bit> options>change>use my alert tone> find it and select it hope this helps

  • I love pulling the phone out of its case in public and watch people take note...its really that good. Hard to find any shortcomings in THIS sleek babe.

  • I struggle to get mxit on my phone

  • i want to buy samsung u800 , i m from india . shud i buy it or not? is the front camera and 3g really missing in the phone?

  • i got the phone already and it has 1gb of internal memory. how come yours is not? hmmm..

  • yes but the manual says 1 g.....

  • user memory is 50MB, in gsmarena it has been updated wrongly as 1GB

  • This is a stylish no-nonsense phone!!! For better camera or video functions, buy a camera or videorecorder!!! If you have problems with the lag, try use your own theme.

  • I own this phone, and must say im very happy with it. The handset oozes style and sufisticated features such as the 'theme creator'use your own pictures to make your menu screens.... A stylish and sturdy phone well worth considering.

  • can the u800 mxit???i've been struggling the whole week,nd no luck!geez man i need to keep in touch with my gf.

  • ok.one more time from the one thousent i,ll tell u.u-800 is a very good phone.pls read our opinions

  • ha where are u guys now?is it christmas days?

  • anyone pls help.. which is better samsung phone? L700 or U800. kindly include disadvantages. your opinions will help me a lot.. thanks. happy holidays.

  • haha GSMArena u biasedd fvckers you can call the power button on the nokia e66 and e71 cheap looking but what about the 'cheap looking' camera button on the U800!!!!

  • i got this phone, got it brandnew on o2 from littlewoods for less than �50, i had a �50 off promotion, on a whole, its a neat phone does all the basics pretty good, i also have an n95 but wanted a nice casual phone for taking out. itsmuch better than the nokia 6500 classic which was a toss up between that, thesamsung u800 does far more and also has video calling, mp4, sd memory card slot and hspda and a lot more dont let people put you off, have a dabble in a phone shop before you buy

  • On a whole I am happy with this phone, I have had it for about three months now. I have had connection problems at times while going onto the internet. I buy and sell phones often and I must say in its range this phone does well

  • already got this phone.. >good camera during daylight >worse when there is no sufficient light >good sound quality(thx to bang&olufsen chips) ALL in all im satisfied with my phone..

  • this is what i want to hear, not the GO AWAY part of course... Thanks! c",)

  • this is what i want to hear not the GO AWAY part of course c",) Thanks!

  • well.i am hearing diferent opinions untill now.i have this cellphone 5 months.very GOOD phone.good signal.screen,photos 3mp,speaker,battery 2days.what else do u want from a phone at this price!!!!i f u dont like it GO AWAY!!!!get another!dont come here

  • smelly cat

  • to avoid scratches -- keep the phone always wrapped up in linen and silk. to make the battery last -- keep it inside the chilling towers of Sprint where they keep the dedicated servers for FEMA, Homeland Security, etc. super cool and super secure. what a joke!! and your "soul" collection -- either you're over-funded by somebody else's money or someone dear to samsung is gifting you these tincans. perhaps it's about time for everybody to realize that review of samsung phones can not be trusted anymore. why? because samsung probably makes a few handsets specifically to be reviewed by "mobile review" and/or "gsmarena". and then they bulk manufacture a scaled down version to launch it in the market. creepy trade secret? dishonest marketing strategy? welcome to the real world. the truth is out there? must be.

  • very very bakwas phone i have never seen such a worst phone, worst battery life, display is also poor

  • Ok.. that umm "honest" review of the phone just had my mouth hanging open. With the exception of the colourful screen and sleek design eveything else is a total contradiction to my experience. Iv always owned samsung phones and this ranks very well in their Soul line up ( i also have a U900 ) and fits in neatly. The music/speaker is clear and loud enough for me. Battery lasts 2 or 3 days. and the 1 bar takes a good 7 or 8 hours to disappear. Iv taken sum excellent photos with the cam. Bottom line is we gotta remeber that we r not buying a digicam or mps player... its a phone! And the scratch complaint - if you take care of your phone then it wont get damaged. I reali like this phone.

  • I am very close of buying this one.. please confirm these statements

  • Wow!!! are you serious man? your review is quite unique from what ive read before. is the battery really that bad? in gsm review, it lasted 4 days. about the scrtchy casing, is it that bad?

  • You ARE SOMEthing, mate. amazingly honest. precise. to the point. you -- indeed -- are a sharp-shooter. In an absolutely HONEST to GOD way I'm heartily appreciating your effort for this CORRECT review. I bought mine month of October. Ashamed by my own stupidity of making this purchase, couldn't even take it out of the house. And guess what? I switched the SIM card from my Nokia 8910i to this piece of junk. Some irony, huh?! Perhaps "Junk Jewelry" title suits this trashy scam the best. This phone adds a nice extra feather to the wings of a Korean penguin. Perhaps penguins are trying/hoping to fly now. Flap-Flap! Great going Samsung, eh?

  • I will speak on battery power and the speakerphone in a bit. Indeed a very smart, polished and elegant looking phone. Thin and compact to boot. The brushed metal is prone to scratching very easily. You know, those faint but evident scratches that eventually end up dulling the exterior. its my personal pet peeve. The battery life is terrible. Even on standby, it falls short. I have to make sure to charge it daily. When the battery indicator level falls to 2 bars, it quickly drops off from there. Its a bit alarming actually. The speakerphone is barely adequate...surprising for a phone this expensive. Some annoying features. The buttons on the phone don't press down enough when under pressure, especially the 4-way navigator, and so its easy to overshoot a character. The # 3 button is far too close to the 'off' or cancel button. So many of my sms text compositions are interrupted by an errant finger a few millimeters off. Thankfully, the phone prompts to ask if you want to save the sms in the drafts folder before exiting. The music player is primitive with a very very tiny interface. The speaker for the media player makes the media sound 'tinny' and garbled and the volume is inadequate. The built in camera is among the worst I've tried. It does not have autofocus and when using the LED flash, there is considerable (I mean a LOT) of lag between the time your finger snaps the button and before the shutter actually clicks. Low light or club shots hardly ever turn out because subjects will definitely move in the ridiculously long 4-5 second delay...The saving grace is the slim design and the bright colourful screen and the 'cool' factor. I've had mine a month and I'm ready to pawn it off already. Thanks for the read :)

  • can someone post an honest review of the phone? im planning to buy this one. Im very particular with its battery life and speaker phone. --Thanks

  • hi ive just got the samsung u800 i just wanted to know what people thought of it.pleas reply

  • any text tone can be set of your choice including external mp3s

  • There are 4-5 pre-set SMS polyphonic tones. Every single one is more horrible than the next one. And you would be stuck to them. Can not change the SMS alert tone to anything else of your choice -- neither MP3 nor WAV. Nothing et al. Sorry, mate. Hands-on experience.

  • who can tell me izit tat u800 soul b can support mpeg4 or wma video file????

  • Hey there all... Just want to say that i think the Soul B is a very good phone. Only thing that i have against it is the little lag. My previous phone was also a samsung ,with no lag :-) , and it gave me no problems. I am sure that this one would be the same if not better. Samsung did a good job according to me. Keep the SOUL up :-)

  • which one shall i choose ??? Nokia 5610 or sony ericsson T700 or samsung U800 soul b

  • I'm having hard time choosing which phone should i buy? I'm planning to buy this phone but SE T700 catches my attention... any comments between the two? they are almost identical in specs.. but which is better?

  • how many messages can be saved?

  • Hi can someone please tell me can you change the message(txt) tone with one of your choice as i know previous Samsungs have been lacking this facility

  • very good camera & screen

  • how's the speaker volume via external speakers while listening 2 music is it LOUD enough( comparable 2 nokia 6300) PLEASE TELL ASAP

  • can someone tell me is this fone good enought, i want to buy but i haven"t choosen yet, and how long is life time? pls help

  • OK! I'm back, been using this for a month and traded in from HTC touch... Pros : very light indeed but strong body (never had problem in my jeans pocket!), loud enough with virbration, very stylish, slim enough, functions good enough for me (depends on you, camera's good too Cons: Unlike smart phones (remember I had HTC Touch) I cant placed permantly or stay my appoinment on the screen, perssing menu to menu kinda slow,not for music lover coz the sounds too 'slim', Ask me for any enquiry

  • hey i m a user of nokia 6120 classic for nearly an year now...shud i buy samsung U800?i m just worried for the sms storage capacity of this cell...else it looks rocking like my 6120...would u guys recommend it to me?

  • this mobile is perfect and i like it and it s very confortable for me and samsung company had produced a very good mobile ... thank you for sumsung.

  • Is this phone compatable with MXIT?

  • was disheartened by the phone. over-hyped indeed!!

  • Some of the features are missing in Indian version. Also, they have mentioned some 5-6 colors but in india only Soul Gray color is available..Overall, the phone is really good.. slim, user friendly.. Camera is powerful and video quality is also good, speaker volume is low compared to my older Motorola e398.. hence overall I give 8/10..

  • "Inferiority Complex" nicely blended with "Attention Deficit Disorder" gives birth to the flesh-and-money flashing must-look-at-me attitude. Priced at INR 9,500/_ this phone serves them for whom a cell phone is meant to be shown off rather than used as a communication device. It did have the potential to be a spectacular telecomm piece. But some weirdo at the Samsung management literally ruined the Indian version -- the U800E. Cost-cutting at the expense of the Indian buyers is definitely not a wise thing to do. Plus, different geography got different mismatches with the published specs. That too is NOWAY fair. As it so happens to be that it seems like Samsung is rushing towards expanding its portfolio while neglecting the very buyers with mismatched specs and horrible pre and post sales support. What I don't understand is how can Samsung even dare bank on neglecting the buyers? After all, there are many alternatives already available in the market! Seems like Samsung is making a deal with the friendly neighborhood car-wash centre years before buying a car. Funny? Fact, actually. It's a real shame that I bought this phone after knowing the specs at GSMArena. But that definitely is NOT GSMArena's fault. And Samsung India's website itself was throwing the INCORRECT specs at my face. And that IS Samsung India's fault. Co-incidence or deliberate -- must not be tolerated.

  • nice phone and very good phone

  • Hey, after ur 'think before u leap' warning at the beginning, any major warnings now after using it for over a month? I've had a Samsung D600 for over 3yrs now n it was an absolutely grt buy. My mind was set on the Nokia E51 until I discovered another grt Samsung tat meets my requirements n looks smart. Do I really have to worry abt the low-tech Indian version of this ph, especially since I don't care abt the 3 negatives you listed abt the Indian version? And, is the battery life good? Thanks.

  • you wont regret even if you bought it randomly, it is complete phone, for helping you why you should buy this phone 1. the basic that thing depends on your own personalty is the style of phone buy it if you like it, it gives you feeling of something like a cellular phone in true. 2. except smartphones you can compare phones by sound quality(bang oulfsen speaker) 7/10 screen 8.5/10 camera 3mp is among the better ones but its camera is lightening quick. one "needs" a camera phone hardly once a month. great music player with real visualization. software flow 8/10, no hassles in operating the phone customization(themes and like) 9/10 better than nokia and motorola. buy this for hassle free mobile usage and greats looks internal and external with added quality of good sound and music player.

  • i m very very cnfused ......as i m going to buy this ph.tommorow......plzzzzzz ny one cn give me true suggestion......as whether shud i buy this or nt,,,,,,,,plzzzzzzzz help me out i totally cnfused

  • if u want games download!!!!!!

  • reply to phone lag the phone that i use has no lag at all, what i know the lag problem was there in beta version, its better than many high end motorola nokia except sony ericcson on its fluent use

  • my phone is korean made but i cant find a document viewer/editor in applications, is this the right place to look for document viewer or is there some other problem? i also did not get any games but live theme is present.

  • hmm nice phone.. i like it

  • I am thinking of buying this phone, but i guess the one that we have in India is U800 E and not B, and therefore it differs in its features, expect only the looks are same. can somebody help. i mean irrespective of the fact that its different from U800 E, is it still worth buying, when compared with Samsung L700

  • This SOLUTION applies to ANY smart and/or semi-smart phone from ANY manufacturer. I'm using Windows XP SP-2 PC. Perhaps neither rich nor trendy enough to use MAC. Preparation : Disconnect PC from LAN and all modems and routers -- IMPORTANT. Make sure the antivirus and antispyware programs are absolutely uptodate and capable of running on-access scans. Disable your firewall and raw socket blocking protocols and applications. Check for auto start-ups. Then fresh install [or repair] Microsoft Outlook [or Mozilla Thunderbird]. Install the drivers and client management softwares of both the phones. Reboot. Execution : Transfer all the contacts from phone-ONE to the PC by sync and/or Outlook. Make multiple back ups. And then transfer all contacts from PC to phone-TWO. Use strictly wired transfer, i.e, no infra red and definitely no bluetooth. P.S : Not only the easiest but also the safest process this one is. And don't forget to post a "job nicely done" response after successful accomplishment of this circus.

  • I bought this phone a few days ago and most functions have worked well except for the problem with transfering my contacts to the phone from my IPAC HP PDA. I am doing the transfer using Bluetooth. The names of the contacts and notes about them are transferred with no prblem but the phone numbers don't. Does anyone know how I may go around my problem? Sumsung in South Africa promised to call me back with an answer and they have not got back to me after days.

  • Many of Samsung mobiles can't use the front of camera to take the photo. Because this camera use for 3G system only.

  • hi , can anyone please tell me the front camera takes photo ?

  • Awesome phone. Stylish & sexc. Specially the red colour just suits me. Gr8 colours and gr8 fone. Im gona buy this one. Can anyone tell me how much does it cost in uk pounds? Coz someones gona send me this.TY

  • l want dis u800 samsung whats yo advise coz u know dis 4n should l buy it or not

  • the phone is really good. but the mail client sucks. i set my yahoo pop mail, but U800 is downloading the new mail only, without deleting the old ones... strange. any help?

  • hi all,, thought i wud share some of my experiance with the u800. battery life - getting almost 2.5 days wit an hr to 45-60 mins of calling with 1/2 hr of music. Camera is faboulous and after xferring the pics to the pc there were no blurred images. sound with ear plug type headphones is compareable to SE w200. browser seems to be a tad slower. themes creator is a new feature ive never seen in any other fone,memory if just gr8 with 1 gb onboard along with kingston 2 gb,, 3 gigs of memory, video playback and recording is cool enough for any teenager, looks awesome, 16 m colours looks really bright, key pad not for blackberry addicts but sturdy, games are a drawback - all trial versions, honest rating - 8.9/10. hope this helps buyers. recommended for- corporate, 25-40, wanting a multimedia phone for less, but good workmanship.

  • hi ,,i got the u800 2 weeks ago. i am still enjoying the experiance. had the e840 earlier, can someone enlighten if the u800 e is actually missing the living wallpaper or am i not looking in the right places.any answers? thankx!

  • good phone!!!

  • U800 B is not the model available in the Indian Market.But the similar phone is available, called U800E which lacks some features, like Secondary video call camera.

  • I want to enlarge the caller ID when a person calls - Does anybody know how to do that - The photo is very small

  • u can record call conversation. when u call someone or vice-versa press the left soft key.....from the options you can select record. don't know about the video conversation recording coz my phone does'nt have a secondary camera.

  • SAMSUNG is cheating the Indian buyers. This U800E is noway near good enough as the phone advertised. This is a SCAM. U800 Soul-B should be renamed as U800 Scam-B. Period. I've switched to SE K770i.

  • Just bought this fone a couple of days ago from trading in my HTC touch. Verdict? Pros - Perfect screen colours, alarms + organizer very friendly user, great/loud sound incoming/outgoing calls, fits perfectly in pants/jeans, camera's good enough and battery life's great! great price! Cons - not for people who loves sending text or SMS coz the keypad kinda difficult to press, menu lagging? not really, also so-so as camcorder, not for large hands coz ez to fall off. any enquiry on this fone lemme knoe! boyz

  • i want to buy this phone is it good enough will it last me for 3yrs

  • can the front camera takes photo ?

  • yes.everybody vote 10

  • How noticeable is the lag switching between menus?

  • Would anybody be kind enough to tell me why my phone has only one camera? Purchased the U800E this October. It has the 3MP camera. But the secondary videocall camera is not there. Is this some sort of special edition launched only in India? I live in India. Please help me somebody.

  • the sound of u900 is lower than u800 soul b

  • Lets put the rating back where it should be Rate it 10

  • yes.what is this?7.9??in one day?

  • how did the vote results change in one day????yesterday was 8.7-8.2-8.2!!!!!!

  • just perfect!

  • I am interested with this phone, but I want to know whether this phone can display a picture as a wallpaper or screen saver.

  • To : Everybody with the "Reject List" headache. Go to Menu > Call Log > Call Manager > Reject List Or simply follow the key-press sequence Menu > 1 > 6 > 3 That should ease your headache if not annihilate it completely. *** Very soon I shall post about the terribly unfortunate under-trained and clumsy Samsung India's inbound tele-support personnel. How bad things can go? Just wait and watch (read).

  • Removing number from `missed calls` i have just removed number from `missed calls` selecting delete option it is on #7 while `add to reject list` is on #8. and by your reply it seems that you are selecting option 7 but option 8 is being selected, seems like a software problem, oddly you should try to select option 6 might this work for option 7.

  • I bought the phone from a reliable service provider too.where are the games?i think there are no games.i have nokia e-65 and it has no games too.so what????if i want games i'll download

  • In reply to pre-loaded games. I bought the phone from a reliable service provider who I have been with for 10 years. where do I find the canon ball and paris hilton ?...the seal was not broken, I would never accept a phone like that....where can I find the games and also are there any screensavers?

  • u dont have to use the flash but the button for the brightness before take the shot.try this and u will remember me.

  • the signal on nokia phones is still better head-to-head. speaker sound quality is average at best. camera doesn't function well when taking shots at night. my directional pad fell off within 1 month of use.

  • I've tried, but it is adding to the reject list and it is saying allready in use!!! thanks anyway. May be anybody else know how to remove the number from the reject list!!!???

  • Can the secondary camera take photo?or just for 3g usage?

  • go to call log find that number should be in `missed calls` (or also try in `recieved calls`) select that number press `options` then press 7 then 1 key, this will delete the number

  • I've rejected my friend's number and now I can't find how to delete his phone number from the reject list. Help!!!!

  • Whats the call quality like is it loud and clear?

  • very good phone!i had many before but this is realy good guys.strong signal!good battery life!good speaker.for the camera u dont have to use the flash but the button for the brightness before take the shot.try this and u will remember me.great photos then oooauuuu!!

  • i found a solution about this my friend!u go menu-setings-display-light-backlight time-and u put the on to 10sec and the dim 30 sec and evrething is perfect!!!!!!

  • To : People having NO pre-installed games. The U800 comes with 8 to 10 JAVA games. Canon Ball and some really stupid Paris Hilton demo version games, i.e, games as questionable as Paris Hilton's character [some criminal records]. If you are wondering why no games came as pre-installed add-ons in your phone, allow me to point at some "shocking points". 1. You bought the phone from a dishonest shop in a seal-broken package, i.e, the seal on the package was already broken before you paid for the phone and took it home. 2. The dishonest shop-keeper or somebody she/he knows has already used your phone. And then in order to wipe off usage traces, the shop-keeper has performed "E2P Full Reset" that resets customizations, JAVA, media, T9 word suggestions, MMS Profiles, WAP settings and homepages. 3. When you point 1 finger at somebody, 3 fingers are already pointed at you then. The seal says, "DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN. CAUTION: SEALED PACKAGE." And you took that warning for granted. What's the point in whining now??!! Think. E2P = EEPROM = Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

  • Can i use a 3.5mm connector/adaptor to use regular headfones

  • I have just got the phone and love it but cant find any screensavers. also where are the games...it says there are some loaded plus downloadable...i cant find any..

  • Thank you so much, i am going to try that, will let you know if it works then. Have a great day! :-)

  • To : Urs The U800 does NOT use the SIM memory for message exchange and/or storage in the bulk/default mode. For storing a message in the SIM you must copy or move it individually and manually. Solution to your problem. STEP 1 Put the Micro-SD card in the slot. Format it using the phone. This way the card would be ready with the necessary folders. STEP 2 Menu > Settings > Memory Settings > Default Memory > Message Downloads > [select] Memory Card Best Regards.

  • Gr8 phone, i only have 1 problem... maybe someone can help?? My sms's are stored on the SIM CARD memory, it is not using the phone's memory for text messages (receiving). How do i change it so that messages received will go to the phone's memory and not the sim card. Most of my messages i receive are cut off / incomplete due to space on the sim not being enough. Hope someone can help. God bless Urs

  • speaker sound quality is average at best. nokia has better speakers. I used to use Nokia N70 before samsung u800. As for headset, the sound quality is much better for u800

  • it's a solid phone with the features, themes, and wonderful screen. however, both my officemate's and my unit's cursor has fallen off with less than a month of use. the build quality of samsung has been questionable. It sucks big time when this happened. and the camera doesn't produce nice pictures when taken at night.

  • Can anybody tell me what kind of headset will be provided in the sales package. How is the output of speakers How is the output of headset. Please reply

  • Generally pretty nice and well manufactured phone, great materials quality, but: 1. PC Synchronisation doesn't work. Samsung�s customer care can not help in resolving the problem....so if you want to synchronise your phone with Outlook - go for Nokia. 2. no-preloaded games, 3. ridiculous keypad lock...it is being locked in every place of menu when it is on auto, so when you are browsing menu and you hesitate for few second, the key pad is being locked. When the keypad is locked and you receive call, the keypad becomes active so you can access phone functions, but after the call phone stays in the idle even though before the call it was locked. 4. Why when you connect phone with PC via USB you have to turn off Bluetooth? Generally.....great looking & stylish.....advanced functions even though some are not working....but next time I would go for Nokia again due to its functionality.

  • The phone is so thin that I cn hardly hang-on holding it. But it's cool... I'm sure that I can adapt it soon... I'm a Nokia & Motorola user. I tried samsung just now, I bought U800 and I'm loving it. But I dont know how to use the 3G cam, can I take a pic using that? The only thing that I chose Samsung is that Nokia abruptly change styles and lower their price immidiatly while Motorola is so cheap that everybody has it on their own hands,Sony Eric. maybe has a low quality, yet Samsung has an elegant design, expensive look ( yet dont put hole in my pocket), exquisite features and more... For now I can say that Samsung is no. 1 next Sony Er., Motorola, and Nokia.

  • what about the headset quality, speaker sound quality? Reply

  • Dear Really its nice phone. i have buy this phone from UAE and only 1 feature I think i missing Games are on Trail version. And ask for unlocking code. Any one have this problem.

  • what about the headset quality, speaker sound quality? Reply

  • Hi. I just got the phone yesterday. It's my first time to use a SAMSUNG phone. Am a nokia and ericsson user. But am beginning to like my new SAMSUNG phone. Menu is very simple. It's just the same with ericsson phone. No regrets of getting this phone. :)

  • Hello, Can some one help me, I don't know if I have to but the U800 or the U900. Please help me..

  • what color would best fit a guy?

  • hello, i jsut buy this unit recntly, any body knows how to use front camera? tnx

  • I purchased a U800E Soul Gray in India. Last week. Three things differ from the actual specifications. 1. There is no "My World" theme in the phone. 2. The secondary "Video Call" VGA camera is missing. 3. The built-in memory is only 40MB instead of 1GB. A bit of advice to the Indian buyers, think before you leap.

  • fantatic phone

  • does the front camera take picture ?

  • Does anyone know how loud this phone is? and has it got good sound quality?

  • Yes mine U800 is very slow... very stupid...

  • I have a prepaid sidekick slide. if I were to switch the sim cards, would I get the same services on this phone?

  • Just a question, are samsung phones' interface not that fast? I like u600 but the interface lagged.

  • Does anyone know how to remove the clock and date from the front screen please?

  • well, I've red most of opinions about this phone so I'll try to say my opinion as short as I can I will start with the design & the cover, this phone has metallic cover which gives it high quality & nice feeling that the phone will be save if you drop it from your hand( NOKIA make metallic phones recently with E-series but this phone is better), the size, shape , buttons & weight is magnificent , its gives a unique looks for the phone on table or hand. the menu is not that complicated, it's almost similar to SONYERICSSON menu, anybody can be used to it, the music player is wonderful & the OS (Operating System) is nice & strong, the HSDPA is great. I used to have NOKIA & SONYERICSSON , its true that NOKIA batteries live longer but that dosen't make it better,if some NOKIA have better features, some SAMSUNG have more better features (check INNOV8 & OMNIYA ) the problem in NOKIA is the weak Symbian OS, SAMSUNG & SONYERICSSON have better OS. SONYERICSSON problem is the weak design & phone cover quality (most of phones made in China),cheap manufactured with expensive price. In conclusion, this phone has a lot of features, great software,hot design in suitable price.

  • I just like samsung phone generally. it has features, all with affordable cheap price, compared with Nokia.....But unfortunately, it's samsung, samsung and samsung...a second class phone image. I wish it was Nokia. Sorry. For Nokia, the best first class brand! Unfortunately, you are so expensive. With the same features, Nokia has a higher tag.

  • can anyone tell me is dis 3G mobile? if any 1 know abt nokia e51 den plz advise me dat e51 is better or u800?

  • to all samsung lovers out there and also to those who are not..every brands of phones have different features..i've been using nokia phones for such a long time, even other brands like sony, motorola, and samsung..nokia phones have very long battery life unlike the other brands..and nokia, sony, motorola phones are very easy to use, i admit that, even a 1 yr old child can operate it..lol juz joking..first time that i use a samsung phone, i admit it's very complicated..you have to read first the manual to fully operate the phone..unlike on nokia phones and others..you can find the descriptions right there on your phone..but on samsung you're on your own..that's why i like it..many features are hidden and it's up to you to find out..and i find it exciting..the battery life of samsung phones are so annoying..yeah! especially if your last phone was a nokia..gosh..so much adjustment..people out there who finds it hard to fit in with the battery life of samsung..i advised ya to buy an extra battery lol..you see after i used samsung phones..whenever i get the feelin of buying a new phone..samsung will be the only brand for me..fits my style and fits my life..because there designs were so unique..never stops fascinating you..but you see all phones have flaws, juz admit it..samsung phones rock!

  • i love the phone,colours(purple)everything about it its perfect

  • when I first saw it i thought that I am looking at Nokia 6500 classic

  • thanks for that steve, i'm definitely getting the U800!!

  • I have a Samsung U800, the display at first was appauling in direct sunlight, though I later found out I could adjust the LCD brightness. On 100%, it tends to last about 48 hours, however I'm always on MSN so this reduces it to about 24. Also, it depends what theme you use. A theme with a black background tends to shade the entire screen, yet the default theme (white/orange) is fantastic in sunlight. I hope this helps.

  • I am very tempted to buy this phone, but I have read on other reviews that the display is unusable in direct sunlight. Is this true?

  • hello, i jsut buy this unit recntly, any body knows how to use front camera? tnx

  • What about headset, are they good. what is the sound quality, does the earphone tend to slip from ears. what abt battery life

  • hey,dnt say that its a damn phone cuz u bought it.anyway u should appreciate it cuz u spent ur money for that.maybe u just dont know how to operate ur fon well.theres manual my frnd..

  • Than you have a lott of other files on your phone!!

  • Is this phone has a great picture as sony ericcson ?

  • ive just got this phone before this on i had the g600, which was a good phone- i like this one better due to the size and its ease of use. also Its my 1st pink phone and i love it! i think the camera quality is good, and the sound is great. The only thing i can think may be a problem is that it looks like it may scrach easy, what cases are availble for it?

  • quick way is to press and hold the # button. do the same to return to normal

  • yes..you can personalize the message alert tone like nokia phones.

  • nice piece.

  • Hey, my friend has this phone and she doesn't think you can turn the T9 off permanantly, is this correct? Are you only able to turn it off each time you go onto a new message, but not have it set to ABC for every new message you start automatically? Many thanks..

  • Hi my name is clifford and i have just purchased the new samsung u800. Firstly i must say that i just love this phone. Im finding it difficult to use but that is only because i have 4 fingers on my right hand and no left hand due to my sadistic hobby of eating myself alive. I just love fingers they taste great.

  • amazing fone... slimline thin... and great for my handbag... finally something that fits in my evening back and looks amazing....

  • I recently bought this phone. Itlooksbeautiful and has excellent features. Yet,i fing the phone rediculously slow. It takes about 2 seconds after pushing 'Menu' to actually display the menu!This can be very annoying when you're in a rush. It is definitely too slow. Does anyone know how to solve this problem e.g. faster firmware?

  • too much sexy phone

  • Hi there. I am new to U800. Can somebody please tell me how to switch the keypad tone off without putting the phone om mutw? Tx

  • I have a problem with middle button menu because it always disjoint . I used glue to adhensive 3 times. And now I pray that it won't happen again. Other features is goods, but it will read in chinese when playing music player. I don't know how to fix. If anyone know, please advise.

  • the battery life is about 2-3 days with average use little calls here and there, messaging ect. with little use about 9 days. but for the heavy users about 1-2 days.

  • this phone is a great buy. the overall features are good. the only down side is it is slow getting into the main menu. besides that it is a great phone. and i personaly like the music player;)

  • A bit butch???? Don't be a gaylord, its one of the campest phones around.

  • Hey thinking about getting this. Anyone know what the battery life is like when listening to music off a micro SDHC card?

  • I REALLY want to buy a Samsung SOUL, but why is the metallic pink not available in South Africa? I really find the ONLY colour available here quite dull (sort of a bronze gunmetal)and a bit butch.

  • I have just got the Samsung U800 in pink and i love it the keys are so easy to use i would recommend it to anyone

  • buttons are crap! you have to use your nail to press realy hard, after a while texting becomes quite painful. This phone is very poor compared to any nokia or motorala. The instructions are a joke they tell you very little about all the phones features, I emailed samsung to see if there was a more comprehensive instruction info available but they said no but did give me a premium rate nuber I could call to get any info I need! LOL yeh right! Dont buy it!

  • Buttons are really very good

  • I have a little question to ask, I wanna buy the U800 for my self but the buttons on the dummy we have in the store suck. How are the buttons on the phone actually?

  • go to settings then profiles,press options and choose edit press right button now the screen must show on top the profile and under that "message alert type" from here you can change the tone

  • Nice looking phone. Shame about futures also ring tones are very low, you can barely hear the phone ringing.Lcd goes off so no way to notice if you got sms or a missed call, you have to press a button to turn screen on. You can change the sound of buttons but not to the specific tones that each number has all make the same. Flash is powerful but can not be used as light. Key lock is either off or auto and turns on in just few seconds no way to choose or adjust the time for example after 2 minutes. Complex menu many futures are hidden where you will need hours to find them. Wallpapers and ringtones are very view and not good at all. On the plus points there is a reject list for phone numbers. And yes you can change message ringtone here is how.Go to settings then profiles then press options and choose edit. The screen shows "Normal" or what ever is the chosen profile under that the highlighted box "call alert type" if you press the right button it will change to message alert type from here you can change messages tone.

  • just received my u800 as upgrade from MotoK1. Am slightly disapointed with the lack of stuff pre loaded on the phone! My K1 came with tons of wallpapers ringtones etc to help you get started before learing how to upload your own. Also the user interface is not nearly as user friendy as Nokia or motorola. The instruction manual is not very extensive surprisingly when I read about all the phones functions! In fact a lot of very important stuff isnt even there such as how to copy contacts etc from your old SIM or phone! Whats that all about? Ill try it for a couple of days but I can see me returning it within the 7 days for something a lot easier to use! So far Im not a fan of samsung phones!

  • How do you change your message tone on the U800, there is no sound settings??

  • Nokia 6500 classic is a good choice, it is a Nokia-quality phone. But the battery's life with bluetooth is only 6-8 hours. I'm using the phone simple business time. I had a N50 before, but this phone very slow and with very-very small character on display. I think, nothing perfect... :) Has anyone information about U800 battery's life?

  • The U800 is cheaper than the 6500c. I bought the U800 from Phones4u for �120. The 6500c is �139. So where did the extra �50 come from huh? Check all the price listings before you comment on this phone. I think it is an amazing phone. My phone didnt come with any faults? Samsung have really improved on their Mobile phones. Its worth buying.

  • Why would anyone go for this rather than the Nokia 6500 classic?? The classic is cheaper, has a Nokia firmware (easier to use than Samsung's firmware)! Just because the camera is slightly better. I've had a 6500c and have found no faults so why spend that extra �50 for a copy?

  • Somebody please respond to the battery life question because I seem to have a problem with mines, it only lasts upto a day and half!!!

  • can any u800 user tell me how good the battery life is ??

  • Could a u800 user let me know what the battery life is like on this phone? I really need to know before buying it.

  • Wow!! did the designteam put a Nokia 6500 classic in a copying machine and then just changed the colour, and i thought the Chinese knock off companies were bad, this is the best Nokia knock of i have ever seen, really..

  • I've got a N6500 classic. I'm satisfied with it, but the battery is terrible (I use bluetooth). What about this phone's battery?

  • Yes you can insert your own tones, it took me 3 visits to different shops to get the correct information...most sales people think you can't...but you CAN..I've done it!

  • The Ultimate style in a budget friendly phone. This phone rocks when it comes to features in this price tag. I cudnt find a better phone in my bbudget, not in Nokia & Sony Ericsson. :) Only one complaint. Difficulty in reading messages in sunlight. Why Samsung? :(

  • The "1" means line 1. Some networks offer 2 lines/numbers on 1 sim card.

  • Does anyone know what the "1." means on top of my background next to the profile icon?

  • phone has the same as 6500

  • Does it ihave a good sound

  • "The best thing is its looks" ...which were stolen from Nokia 6500 Classic.

  • Can you install your own sms alert tones or are stuck up with (goovy)default sounds like other phones from Samsung?

  • The 6500 doesnt have memory card! Thats the main advantage of this phone.

  • helloo..hows d keypad and d sound quality of ds phone?tnx

  • The ultimate style with all handsome features. I ve been using this phone for the last 2 weeks. Its awesome. The best thing is its looks, speed and camera. I was not expecting this much from this sleeky machine. Lol!

  • hi Peoples, the keypad of this phone, i'm guessing, is pretty good; great if ur a hardcore texter like me. i've used the U900 soul and i'm pretty sure that it'd be basically the same to use, considering the dimensions. nice big pads and not hard to press in. plus it's i think it's a metal body, which means heavier, but sleeker in style and more resistant to damage. :)

  • How is key pad of this U800 phone ? Is it hard like J150 ?

  • hi can be instaling any software such dictionary in the phone or no pleas ask to me??????

  • This phone came out a few days ago in the Netherlands, and I had the chance to play with it for a while. Up front, I have to admit that I'm no big Samsung fan, and the Soul b just once again confirmed my feeling. The Soul b looks a lot shinier in real life than in the photo's, which gives it a very cheap look. It feels very sturdy though. The camera is dramatic: if you want to take a picture that's barely passable you have to bring your own spotlights. The keyboard is, much like the U900's in my opinion, simply horrible. It takes too much pressure to type, and it feels odd. Furthermore, Samsung will always be Samsung, so expect the same UI you've been seeing for 3 years. All in all, this phone lacks, well, pretty much anything new. The only thing I could enjoy is HSDPA, but with a crappy browser and a 2- inch screen that's not visible in any kind of sunlight, it's completely pointless. Michel

  • This Phone I like it because it is very light

  • The Sleek is Soul B. Soul phone is a sliding folder type.

  • when is it coming outt?? its taking soo longg!!

  • what a piece of soul in my life.

  • i've alredy had customers wainting the thing. i wonder why is't called "soul"

  • battery probably wont last for a day

  • Samsung Launches U800 Soulb Candybar. News by Ricky

  • Uugh everyone! Samsung already came out with the thinnest phone in the world; the Samsung U100! Everyone should write to Samsung and encourage them to release this phone in the U.S.

  • How long is the talking time for this??

  • According to Pocket-lint it's now called the SLEEK not Soul...?

  • does te B stand for bang oulfson sound system

  • Looks great although I cant see any potential difference between this and the samsung u700 in regards to features.

  • there are two models of competitors. 6500 and w890.. i think samsung have no chance against the great two manifacturer (S.E. & Nokia) and if you delete the samsung brand and then paste the sony ericsson brand, add "c" & shortcut buttons, nobody cant see the difference. its a cheap copycat of w890 & 6500.

  • How is that with the "b" behind Soul? Is that a Samsung as a high writes or more of a "Soul b"?

  • Nokia is not even close in build quality and style to Samsung. Never was. Never will be.

  • i think that samsung should have just stated with the slider

  • Wow I adore this phone Its so slim and thats the way to go

  • I think G700 will be its only competition considering the camera because they both lack autofocus while the rest (KF510, C702) got it.

  • I want to know: -Does it support sdhc? -How flat is the keypad? Do I need nails to dig into each number? (like the U300) -Battery life? Typical 3hr call time for Samsungs? -Price! :O

  • i love thin phone like this

  • cool

  • freeware catalogue for PC

  • video, bad resolution QCIF what are they thinking

  • hey its like SE w890 with less stuff!

  • WAaouuuu ! QCIF video recording at 15fps ! Welcome back ten years ago... I love Samsung, but for your information Nokia will release mid june the 6220C for 325 euros with VGA video recording at 30fps...

  • I hope the production units will have video recording at QVGA or CIF resolution at the least because QCIF is already outdated for mid-range phones.

  • Lol @ your comparisons. Com'on men !!! U r comparing this sexy outstanding phone with awful Nokia 6300. No comparison. Hey emotional ppl...dont go for name....just be impartial & compare the looks, features, memory features, camera etc. If u compare the body, the we can say it competes with Nokia 6500 classic and Sony Ericsson T650. If talk about camera, then its rivals are S.E C702, G700, Nokia N78 and LG KF510. Get life...dont get emotional to defend that brand which you carry. I m uzing S.E K800...but I m impressed with this phone az well. I ll definitely will try this sexy babe.

  • good phone

  • Personally, i find the touch interface a little insensitive at times. No doubt a good camera. However its flash is not powerful enough when facing strong sunlight or in dim light conditions at night. One factor they should improve on would be the volume of the loudspeaker. It is too soft to be heard on a busy street or bus. Sound quality through the earphones are excellent. Sound quality through the loudspeakers lack bass. keypad is great for messaging. large screen makes viewing of photos a pleasure. conclusion: great for photos but not a good option for people whom like to blast music through the loudspeakers and not suitable for people whom often visit crowded and noisy areas.

  • this is a direct rival to the 6500classic...

  • Bad video (QCIF 15 fps)...

  • well i thnk u r wrong.it realy looks nice.nokia 6300 is good bt nt more dn it

  • of course this phone looks muc better than old stylish nokia 6500

  • well not bad but the 6500 lo0ks alot beter and the u800 dusnt have the wow facter of the u900 but still ok

  • What is it nice about this phone? You just wake up and never seen cell phoen in your life then I can seee why you say this beautiful phone. This is another cheap basic phone from Samsung like others make. You want a basic beautiful phoen look Nokia 6300 if you need more advance and not expensive then look at E51 and next month to E66.

  • usb2.0 ok, but A2DP??

  • The best phone till now! much much better copier than original Nokia 6...

  • it is copy of Nokia 6500 classic. 1 Gb memory, Design, metal finish, almost same size and weight. Big companies like Samsung and nokia they should have some standards abt copying each others product. Cell phones are all about innovation and new technology. But copying each other is really lame specially by big companies. Inspiration is healthy but in this field and the way the market is they should come up with new ideas.

  • samsung design some of the most beautifull phones in the market today and this one is certainly one of them. but based on my experience, nokia and sony ericson rules when it comes to features.

  • Opss...No autofocus...

  • One thing I really respect about Samsung is the materials they use in their phones, is very often really high quality like U900 Soul and this. Other manufacturers especially Nokia and SE don't do that and tend to do really cheap plastic phones. But QCIF 15fps recording? Why?? The only times I would expect QCIF these days is in really cheap phones. QCIF was outdated in 2005! Let's see CIF recording like other Samsungs can do. Other specs look good.

  • "Beautiful! Can't wait to lay my hands on it... Watch out Nokia, Samsung's breathing down your neck and will soon take your place as the world's largest and coolest cellular phone manufacturer!" NO way!!!!!

  • LOL!! Wi-fi? this phone aims in the mid-level market. It's the same target as 6300. Not everyone want wi-fi or crappy fancy high pixel camera in phones.

  • very nice basic phone. i think the specifications of this phone will become standard. samsung makes stable phones (OS-wise) and the build is good, unlike other brands. i just hope it has a friendly price as well.

  • why to be so happy with this phone, looks as a very standard feature phone with except the design nothing special in it. Do not misunderstand me, do not go against Samsung, but technically and design wise have a look on SE w910 and for sure check Nokia E51 if you like candy bar mobiles

  • Beautiful! Can't wait to lay my hands on it... Watch out Nokia, Samsung's breathing down your neck and will soon take your place as the world's largest and coolest cellular phone manufacturer!

  • Samsung is a name in past for making Cell Phone. As It look clear that they are follower but they do not know how fast to follow. they keep missing to keep up with updated features. Maybe Samsung need some marketing guys to tell them what is going on in Cell phone market? Wake up and smeel the roses. Where is also your Wi-Fi? and many other features? The phone is Obsolete.

  • QCIF video at 15 fps ? Hahahahahaha !!!! My samsung from 4 years can do CIF at 18fps. Wake up Samsung , new models should be better, not worse.

  • A beautifully crafted handset,surely can get 10 on 10 as far as d design is cocerned,but not up 2 d mark in specification if compared to nokia,but still samsung has immensly improved wid dere spec section in comparison wid other giants(excluding Nokia).Common Samsung!!Keep it up....!!..Goin gud mate:-)..

  • type good .samsung soul b ,made in korea also lg but nokia finlad ok .samsung 3.15 mp to type bar very Nice

  • Koool Samsung Soul b will available in 5 colors thats great Soul Grey, Platinum Silver, Metallic Black, Soul Pink and Amethyst Violet , (sntradersonline mentiond it)

  • ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm samsung you're rock so nice thank you sammy

  • nice design

  • Great and Slim phone. Hoped that it would run s60 OS, but it's body is great, one thing that will make me buy it.

  • make some quad!!!! dang it!
