Samsung W999 - User Reviews

  • It's very square-ish

  • This device reminds us that in addition to the Galaxy Folder and Galaxy Golden families, Samsung still has a third family of flip smartphones exclusive to China: Leader (SM-G909): Leader III (SM-G919): Leader 8 (SM-G929):

  • exlent

  • E-bay!

  • Why these smartphone market is going in a narrow way... People have different choices in selecting models... These kind of smartphones with keypad are not in market ... I can say one thing every model which is now available are same kind except the spec... This is absolutely shit ?

  • I Want this phone, how i get it???

  • people please advise about samsung w999 phone ....

  • If this came out with 3G/UTMS 850/900/1900/2100 i would definitely sell my Galaxy S3 and Get one! T9 Text!!!

  • Weight:(206)g (7.27oz)??. =( No good!!.

  • Does this phone have English? If so, will I be able to use it it the US? I really love it and would like to know. Please reply!

  • pls fast launches in chattisgarh, i wait for this mobile.

  • sam could make this as a sliding phone top/down, like noka e 66 ,with blackberry keybord type, it will be maximum 4" . and letest fasion tooo...

  • Anyone confirm me that in this anroid phone whatsapp application really working or not? Waiting for honest replies.

  • i like this

  • its android! Thats all!.

  • Doesn't support whatsapp!!! Better options out there!

  • Doesn't support whatsapp!!! Don't buy

  • beautyful phone

  • I guess this is for people wanting a Smartphone but still wanting an old fashioned flip phone with physical keys because I really don't think there's much of a market for phones like this now, and I think it was LG that tried a flip Android a while back which was a huge failure, but that only had a single screen though.

  • hello bro, how mach u got w999 samsung, plz share us ur viewz and perfrmnce of w999,

  • Hi ,please ,can you give to me ,website ,where you buy samsung w999, please. my contact [email protected]. Thank you.

  • Yes. Sim1 slot is GSM and it will work. Even Sim 2 slot will work as PTCL is using 1-EVDO network. I use this phone and i bought it online from Lahore.

  • I still like a flip form factor, kinda nostalgic... Why not make a flip Android, when there are people who still want it and want the current Android OS. They should make a flip that pivots at the corner like some Japanese phones did, full QWERTY board and just 45 degree angle the number row... Who dials a number now and days anyways when you have two touch screens?

  • I want to buy Samsung W999. So Please guide me where it will be available in Pakistan and Will it work in Pakistan? Please any one give me satisfied answer.

  • They have a new one now with 4 cores and designed for, and marketed by, Jackie Chan! And, ahem, it's $3000. Ouch.

  • 25000 PKR

  • Can I get this phone W999 in pakistan please..

  • Can I get this phone W999 in UK please

  • Hi Jack, Thanks for the response. Anyway do you have any idea where can I purchase here in Manila?. Thanks..

  • This is naive. all operating systems today support multiple languages, especially english...how come u guys have this kind of idea? does phones in india only support hindi? most chinese don't read english doesn't make android in china cancel english. in fact, every time i change the sim card on my cellphone, the system asks me to choose a language with options covering all major languages in the world.

  • phone is great but tooo much costly out range like ipnone 4s

  • i want this mobile too , but i guess it is not avilable for any area except china and countries nearby so i guess you will not find it and i guess so that is will not support english

  • I am from the Philippines. I would love a new Samsung flip phone to replace my existing Samsung S3600. Hope Samsung do it sooner.

  • The phone looks indisputably great, with a decent camera and processor and other specs. But the most distressing part is, it is only for Chinese market*. *Well if this is only for Chinese market, Samsung may be repentant later for not launching this globally, as this can be a game changer.

  • It should use 3G by gsm not by CDMA remaing are good it is a diffrent idea touch phone with flip

  • Pls how muchof this Samsung w999 phone? And pls am in Ghana if I need how do I get it.

  • How much is phone? In australia?

  • this will probably favor those who want to use a touch screen android phone but is more comfortable using a keypad.. and the flip style is kinda neat but if you will look closely on the design of the keypad, it looks old school but it doesn't matter though, with it snapdragon proccessor it sure is one hell of a phone.

  • I like phone style, if phone is think.

  • This phone is too big huge massive

  • I also liked the phone. I wish though the navigation key. I wish navigation button on each phone.

  • I like flip phone, when this phone come to Indonesia?

  • WTF.. 1,2 dual-core on this ugly thing? when i saw this phone, first i thought its still on Java running

  • shut up it hasant launched yet

  • hi samsung, ur W999 phone is innovative bt could ve bn mo fantastic if bth sims are GSM. Pls we in nigeria nid d sem design wth both sims GSM, tnx. Yabo

  • I actually face-palmed when I saw this phone, how ugly!

  • awsome i like it i like folder phones 2 displaye is a great idea

  • I love this phone... how can i get it

  • great phone,but w999 should have a radio

  • first i would like to say that samsung is the best at lest for me , when i sow the picture of w999 i like it although i don't like folders phone , but i really like its qualifacations, kindly feed me back when it will be in Egypt? and if it will be more colors such as whait or blue?

  • lookwise and spec wise good.wish it had dual sim both gsm.when will it be available in india?

  • this is great phone

  • Does W999 have a radio??? ? Sam

  • this mob will become a real star in Europe and in Asia if it could be used with dual GSM sim card (CDMA is rarely needed and buisnesmen traveling around the world are frequently using 2 different GSM sim card) This phone has a great battery and a big internal memory. Samsung should bet on it. I am convinced that without CDMA it will be also lighter. Sam

  • Oh my goodness i have been wanting a fone like this since 2009..I complain all the time about no Android clamshells or other decent spec formfactor smartfones.This is EXACTLY what i want and hope it has concert hall setting..But its not coming to the UK is it? I had a dream fone for a few minutes..

  • awesome performance and feels sophesticated when the W999 is in my hands .,,. thanx samsung for such an amazing phone...

  • hope this phone, will be launched in indonesia......asap..

  • Hoping for early good review for this phone...jee

  • I want one! Please, please, please make an North American version!!

  • i am glad that samsung took the step of cdma and gsm dual sim phone it will be a great success and numeric pad is a good option waiting to get w999 in india keep up the good work samsung

  • OMG this phone is dual sim,, So cool why not make a gsm/hsdpa version samsung?

  • What about the data speeds

  • Does it support web flash player?

  • such a nice phone with body and brain

  • such a nice phone......so stylish......i'm gonna buy it!!!

  • shame it probably wont be released in the uk :(

  • It would be perfect if slimmer and side clamshell, even if the size of screen made wider of 4 to 5 inch. We'll be waiting!!!

  • I wonder Samsung is planning just to create what ever it comes to its mind. May be people just think let it be phone should be like this, before it think SAMSUNG is ready to make it ...!! LOL>...!! But we should appreciate SAMSUNG Manf for there innovative and most cost efficiency and yet more stylish and more POWERFUL and SOLD rocking performance among all the handsets in the world. When i was a kid used to think SAMSUNG sucks but now a day its really awesome and MOST POWERFUL...!!

  • i love it!!

  • Strange, I wonder if this will be the start of a new market of clamshell androids.

  • Gsm and cdma both! Great.. Good work samsung.

  • Since it for Chinese market(Look at picture, it's written in Chinese) Qwerty keyboard isn't really usefull like as Qwerty model never be popular in Japan because their language don't use latin characters.

  • for china market..

  • Looks like more for fashion than utility.A double touch screen with 9-key,no qwerty but dual touch screen..........waste of technology and money.

  • What? This phone really rocks!

  • Awesome

  • why ? if it was a qwerty keyboard that would be ok .did they just want to make two screens ?

  • lol 206 g i better buy weightlifter.... hahahah

  • Hmm, what an interesting phone! Japanese style. :>
