In a nutshell: The Samsung Ch@t
335 is a budget BlackBerry-beater. With a full QWERTY keyboard
and an optical trackpad, it's ideal for texting, emailing, facebooking
or tweeting. We love its superslim quality feel that fools people
into thinking you've bought a high-end handset. The phone comes
with Wi-Fi, an FM radio, music player and a 3.5mm headphone
jack. It can accept memory cards up to 8GB. The camera may be
little more than a toy, but everything else about the S3350
Chat shouts quality. Available in Black, Pink or White.
Best buy: On Pay as you Go for £39.89 from Dialaphone
(White).

Move over BlackBerry, Samsung is here! The Samsung Ch@t 335 (or Samsung Chat
if you prefer, since the web isn't very good at @ characters) looks like a BlackBerry,
smells like a BlackBerry and does very much what a BlackBerry does. Yet it retails
for less than half the cost of the BlackBerry
Curve. Is this for real?
We gave Samsung's first attempt at a budget BlackBerry, the Genio Qwerty, a
bit of a thumbs down. But the Ch@t is something altogether different. Although
it retails as a budget pay as you go phone, Samsung have styled it as if it
really were the BlackBerry-beater it yearns to be. It's pretty much the same
size as the BlackBerry 8520, but noticeably slimmer, being ultraslim at just
11.9mm. Yet it doesn't feel like it's about to snap in half. It has a metal
finish and a quality feel about it. The QWERTY keyboard has been completely
re-engineered and is much easier to use. The keys aren't huge, especially the
space bar, but they're as big as they can be in a phone this size and they respond
nicely to the touch. You can program shortcuts into the QWERTY keyboard for
fast access to favourite apps.
The display is completely standard for this kind of phone: 2.4 inches, 320
x 240 pixels, LCD. It's the "correct" display for the phone. Between
the display and the keyboard sits the optical trackpad, which differentiates
between normal finger movement and fast swipes, helping you to move around the
screen and scroll up and down easily. We have to say that QWERTY keyboard +
trackpad + slim design = superb ergonomics.
So, we've got a great keyboard, let's start typing. The Ch@t is great for texts,
emails and instant messaging, and equally handy if you like to tweet or catch
up on facebook. The Chat may not be a 3G phone, but it's about the only sub-£50
phone that comes with Wi-Fi, so it's pretty nippy getting on to the net. As
well as Wi-Fi, there's Bluetooth and USB connectivity too.
The Ch@t is no smartphone, but there are a few apps you can install and it
comes with 5 embedded Java games. You won't get bored on the bus either, because
it has a music player and an FM radio, with the ability to record songs from
the radio. The 3.5mm audio connector lets you plug in any standard-fit headphones
for the best audio quality.
Like most other phones in this price range, the camera is very limited, being
just 2 megapixels and with no autofocus or flash. It can record video, if you
really push it, but don't expect much from it. It's fair to say that imaging
is not the Chat's strong point, but then most other entry-level phones
are no better.
The memory of the phone isn't huge, but is adequate for the job at 60MB. If
you're going to use the Ch@t as your music player, you'll want to buy a microSD
memory card, and the Ch@t can take cards up to 8GB. The battery isn't very high
powered, but the phone manages to eke out enough juice to last a couple of days
between charges, even if you use it quite heavily.
We've been quite charmed by the Ch@t 335, despite its silly n@me. It sets out
to deliver the power of a BlackBerry for half the money, and we think it succeeds.
Corners have been cut in certain places, but not in core functionality, nor
in build quality or aesthetics. As a result, we really can't find fault with
this phone.You might also like to consider the Nokia
Asha 302, Orange Rio II or BlackBerry
Curve 9300.

you cant put a lock on it so anyone can use your phone if they lose it, even

Mine went on puk lock and I had to take it to the shop which was really annoying
but otherwise it has been really forgiving and the battery Asts forever and

due to its easiness and it's fashionable looks. Also, who wouldn't want a phone
called Chat!??!?

This phone is fantastic! It has the qwerty key board and optical track pad which
are the two things why I was considering the blackberry. It is slimmer than
the blackberry and cheaper. I have the sim free one which is great to try out
different networks. The FM radio is good for recording songs and the phone has
a good battery life. This is the best phone I've ever had. I would recommend
this phone to everyone!

If you want internet it is a rubbish phone. Could not even get lottery results.

Font on internet changes to big or to small as screen cannot cope with different
internet sites.
Chatting and texting is fine.

I do not have any major dislikes when it comes to this phone, and do think that
it is worth the money, however there are somethings about the phone that I think
could be better. I find the phone quite hard to text on because the keypad is
quite small, I also feel like when Im texting I am going to break the keys (especially
when Im texting fast) and this is a little frustrating because I text alot.
Normally when I get a new phone it does not take me that long to learn the new
keypad, however it is taking me a long time get used to this keypad because
it is quite small and I find myself constantly looking for the letters so I
dont end up pressing the wrong button. Some keys are a little slow and need
pressing down harder in order for the letter to appear and when I want to make
a letter capital the button you press to change this is a little slow and I
find that when I read back through the texts the words that needed a capital
infact dont have a capital because I have typed the text fast and the button
has not worked fast enough. This is all the fault that I have found with this
phone so far, and Im sure my issue with the keypad will get better, as I am
still adjusting from my previous phone. Hope this was helpful for people.

I have owned the blackberry curve and it is NOT worth the money at all! My mum
bought me this phone in february and when i saw it on the box i was a bit sceptical
because the last thing i needed was another blackberry senario but when i opened
it up i was plesantly suprised! I have the pink version (but it is more of a
rose-red than pink!)and it looks and feels fab, it has grip on the back of the
phone which is v.good. I have two faults with the phone and they are the fact
that the internet is much slower and you have to have the large date & time
on the homescreen that effects your wallpaper. I definatley recommend this phone
its FAB! :))

After numerous Blackberries that freeze, crash and cost a bomb, have gone for
this cheaper option and Samsung was always my favourite make before. Loved my
BB but cannot afford to replace again after my 3 yo 'giving it a cup of tea'.
This is pretty good for the price and 'feels' better than the BB Curve. I will
get used to the lack of apps as i didnt really use them much except fb and twitter
and i have them here. And with wifi its plenty fast enough. If it had some more
themes i would be very happy as opposed to happy. Excellent for the price. Recommended.

i don't like this phone, and the battery life isn't very good. when you use
it everyday the keyboard starts to stick and it doesn't type properly. it has
frozen quite a few times and the screen went white and it wouldn't do anything
for several hours. it also doesn't connect and i'm left with no network. it
also won't allow me to download apps.
it was a good phone at the start but now i would much prefer a blackberry (although
this phone is very similar) it lacks certain qualities that the blackberry has.

This phone is shockingly bad. I only bought it because it was a cheap contract
and bitterly regret not getting a more expensive contract which would give me
a better phone.
If you literally do nothing with your phone apart from phone people and text
then go for it but if you do anything else buy something different, even for
taking photos the camera is slow and only 2mp which these days is pretty poor.
If you plan to go online with your phone just avoid this phone, save yourself
the hassle and pay a little extra if needed. I have a lot of samsung products
including my last phone, a samsung tocca lite which was brilliant. This phone
has made me rethink if I would buy another samsung phone.
Very, very poor....

I got this phone april 1st 2011 and so far it has been back to the shop 5 times
all for the same reason. Firstly i like to say its a lovely phone, does what
it should do. Buttons can get stuck so can be a pain when texting, can not connect
to the internet, I love the fact you can record the radio. The lock button on
the left doesnt work but the main problem is the track pad is broke according
to phone 4u who I brought it from. It has been sent of 4 times to get this fix,
they say 3 and once rebooted in the shop and now it broke again. Im hoping for
a new one now as when I go to send a text it freezers and I have to switch the
phone off. not a great phone.

If you want a camera and video recorder - BUY A CAMERA OR VIDEO RECORDER!!!!
I agree with Steve! You are being unrealistic! They can't make the keys bigger
without ruining the great, practical, slim size of the phone. However I do agree
that the camera is SHOCKING! I've had my phone for months now and i still don't
know how to zoom and that is sooo basic it hurts. Honestly I think you were
just expecting too much. Its a phone!

I bought the Chat as a cheap bridging phone as my old one broke 1 month after
renewing my contract. It is very good in fooling others that it is a Blackberry.
There are annoying quirks - the Twitter App has stopped working and switches
the phone off automatically every time I try to use it, now the Facebook App
does the the same so I have to access these sites by typing in the URL. Lately
the phone is refusing to connect to the internet (although beforehand it was
sporadic).
It was a phone I was delighted with but now I am getting increasingly frustrated
by it's flakey performance.

I got the phone for Christmas. Except unbelievable built quality from an ease
of use point of view it is a disappointment. I was happy to have a phone that
I can access several email adresses although there is no direct access to GMail
as in a Nokia although the seller promised this to my wife. When opening the
Email inbox it is impossible to receive instantly your emails and -wait for
this- you have to delete all emails first because of "maximum number of entries
reached" every time and then reload the whole email list including the new ones.
When the new ones are there you still have to "retrieve" each and every email
contents. Bluetooth for in car usage works well although the Samsung asks you
each and every time to connect or not and there is no possibility to recognise
your car once and for all and connect automatically. If you get in and out of
the car often this is annoying. Internet is hopeless and keylock comes too fast.
Bottomline is if you want a good looking and well built phone for chat and calls
it is perfect but don't use it for anything else. Regards.

when we got the phones, Emily's Blackberry Bold has been in for repairs for
a total of 2 months, and has had a lot of electrical faults, whereas nothing
has gone wrong at all with the Samsung. It is perfect, and it can do pretty
much everything that a Blackberry can, except maybe the camera isn't great,
but for under £50, you wouldn't expect it to be. It is the ideal budget phone
and I have lost count of the number of times it has been called a Blackberry
by my friends.

I have a chat myself and i have 2 say that it is an outstanding fone. It has
great functionality and ultimate performance.....from quality 2 looks....it
has everything. All that lets me down is the camera, but when you compare the
price, you just forget about it. So far i am enjoying the phone. I actually
think they should've called it the GALAXY Ch@t and see it as the cheapest galaxy
on the market. :)

Loving my new Samsung Ch@t. Great to get back to keyboard and trackpad after
awkward touchscreen scrolling of last phone. NIGEL from UK - I think your "unable
to send multimedia messages" problem was explained to us at the shop. On contract
free minutes cover the basic texts and calls - not picture messages or calls
to/from abroad. We were advised to put a 'pay as you go top up' of say £10 on
the phone that would sit in the background but would be there to pay for multimedia
messages or international calls.

I've had this phone, since this morning. I got it at carphone warehouse on an
upgrade, for £50. I thought at the time, for £50, it's nothing special. Well,
as usual, I was wrong. This phone is a really unique, nice, slim, realiable
phone to use. People say, "Blackberry's are way better." THATS BECAUSE YOU SPEND
LOADS OF UNNESACERY MONEY ON IT. I recommend this phone to anyone. If your in
doubt to buy it, I say HELL YEAH. The wifi's really nice as well, I can use
google, facebook (via wifi, not the social networking app), youtube, EVEYTHING,
all for free on the wifi. The only thing that stumped me, was that it doesn't
come with a USB lead, So I can't transfer music. But apart from that, it's great,
and you can also put memory cards in, the MicroSD ones to be precised. Not all
the photo's worked, (as i transfered them onto my phone, from my memory card)
but thats not something I'm going to loose sleep over. Have fun with this phone,it's
the best that money can buy.

Phone is good BUT its software (Operating System) is pathetic to say the least.
May be I am spoiled after using Android and iOS (iPhone). Its not intuitive
and not convenient. It CANNOT beat Blackberry. You would not like to use it
for regular emailing using its native browser. I am regretting buying it. No
problem with Phone hardware... its the software which has killed the phone.
NOT recommended.

I've had this phone since December and i'm completely pleased with its 'superb
ergonomics'. However, as for those small points you face every day, i'm really
upset about using the app: what i need is the ability to minimize! As i use
opera browser and an sms comes, i have to finish the app, read the msg and then
stat the browser again. Quite an annoying thing. Or maybe i just don't inderstand
something. Does anybody have the solution?

I bought this yesterday as a cheap back-up phone, it's more on the looks that
it takes its edge over the other cheap QWERTY phones like Nokia C3. But in terms
of functionality, it's more on the basic side, but that's what you get with
a cheap feature phone. I tried to install Facebook for every phone which is
java based, but it failed to launch the app, it reboots every time I tried to
open the app. The keypad is quite on the difficult side to use, aside from being
too small, flat and crowded, it's also quite hard to press, as I see it's made
out of a rubbery plastic material. The built-in social networking apps, such
as twitter and facebook, are quite annoying to use, something you wouldn't like
and get used to when you have experienced using the same apps in a full pledged
smartphone. Overall, I'd give it a 4 on the somewhat "svelte" looks, but average
(2) on the functionality. So that's 3.

Charles, this is normal. It just indicates that your network supports EDGE data
transfer, which is faster than GPRS. Having an E on your screen shows that you
have a strong signal!

Bought this phone on Tesco mobile 24 month contract as it was an amazing deal.
However, it is a very difficult phone to use. When texting I am constantly hitting
wrong keys. Also the little button is too sensitive. Good signal. Bit too wide
to hold it in one hand to text. Can't cope any longer with the texting and have
sent it back. Going for the phone I've always wanted now - Iphone.

From the outside this phone seems good, bought on contract but now i regret
it. The Good: WiFi, (it has a )Camera, Good screen, Qwerty Keyboard, Track pad
scroll, Ease of use, Capability for Apps, Excellent Design. The Bad: Signal
poor on Tesco/O2, Occasional Freezing, Poor camera/video pathetic, Takes minutes
at times to load browser,Does not support many apps,Slow, No service/network
error/connection to server ended errors, WiFi works but connection options not
straightforward for apps in use. I went back to my faithful Nokia N95, even
my old Blackberry 8320 is superior for a old banger.In fact i would go as far
to say that most Chinese dual sim mobiles are superior and cost less which is
sad. I've unlocked mine and will sell the disappointing phone and go back to
a modern Nokia or Blackberry. Samsung have failed even with this budget mobile
when compared to even cheaper mobiles on the market. Best if you only text and
talk to yourself and want a cosmetically good looking mobile.
