Samsung E800 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: August 2004. Updated April 2007.
The Samsung E800 features Samsung's new slide design, in common with the D500.
The slide motion is semi-automatic, which means that a gentle push will make
the slide mechanism open and close automatically. The keypad is rather small,
and some people may find this to be a problem, especially if you have larger
than average hands.
The E800 features 64-voice polyphonic ringtones and a 64,000 colour display
that is crisp and easy to see, even outdoors. With a VGA camera (including flash),
multimedia messaging and Java games, the E800 certainly offers most features
that you would expect.
The E800 also includes some advanced voice features to help make conversations
easier. The phone automatically senses the volume of the background noise and
will increase the volume and clarity of the incoming call to make it more audible.
The E800 is also the first phone in the world to incorporate Noise Cancellation
Functionality technology, which actually suppresses excess ambient noise from
around the person speaking so that the person receiving a call can hear the
caller loud and clear. The integrated speakerphone incorporates a state-of-the-art
echo cancellation technology and incorporates both noise cancellation and voice
clarity functions to let you speak more freely on the fly or in the car.
One feature that is noticeable by its absence is Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity,
which one might expect in a phone at this price.
We originally awarded the E800 4 stars, but following persistent reports by
users of a variety of problems (read the user reviews below), we have downgraded
it to 1 star. There are a number of problems with the E800 - first there seem
to be real problems on the O2 network (and possibly with other networks, but
to a lesser extent) with the E800 dropping calls, shutting down in the middle
of calls and refusing to send or receive text messages. If you are going to
buy the E800 we would really recommend that you don't buy it on O2, especially
as O2 seem to be unwilling to acknowledge that there is any kind of problem
with the phone on their network. Secondly, the E800 seems to be a lot less reliable
than other Samsung phones, with reports of it freezing, the screen breaking
and other kinds of hardware failures. We would recommend that you avoid the
E800 and either go for the Samsung D500, or if
your budget doesn't allow for that, then choose one of Samsung's clamshell phones
such as the E600 or E330
instead.
Features of the Samsung E800 include:
- 65,536 colour TFT screen (128 x 160 pixels)
- VGA camera (640 x 480 resolution) with digital zoom, photo effects & frames
and multishot feature (up to 15 pictures)
- 64-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Wallpaper & screensaver (supported formats: JPEG, GIF & AGIF, WBMP, PNG)
- 8 images + 5 animations embedded
- SMS (with learning T9 support), MMS, EMS
- Phonebook (maximum 1000 entries)
- Photo Caller ID (view the image of the person calling you, before you answer
the call)
- Downloadable Java games (2 embedded games: Snowball Fight, BubbleSmile)
- Memory: 22 Mbytes for photos, sounds and MMS, 1.3 Mbytes for games
- Organiser functions: Clock, worldtime, alarm (auto switch on, when phone
is off), calendar, scheduler, to-do list, currency converter, calculator,
countdown timer, stop watch
- Data Transfer: IrDa, fax, PC serial cable transfer
- Syncronisation software: Easy Studio version 1.0
- Vibration alert
- WAP, GPRS class 10
- Dual Band (GSM 900 + 1800MHz)
- Size: 87 x 45 x 24 mm
- Weight: 85g
- Talk time: 2.5 hours
- Battery standby: 5 days

I had this phone 31st October and it has been nothing but problems.
Only 2 months after having it it went back to The Link and went away
for repair because it was constantly locking when the phone was slid
open... keypad exposed. This meant that I was kicked off whatever I
was doing. Typing a txt, playing a game, on WAP anything. Not only that
but my phone was switching on and off occasionally, but without asking
for my pin number. Also, no-one was recieving txts I weas sending. I
went way for a week for a 'repair'. Came back and exactly the same was
happening 3 days after it's return. Only more frequently this time.
Another problem I noticed was testing was very slow. Also, I had my
phone connected to the laptop via Infared when all of a sudden it switched
off. The "o2 Welcome" screen with the bubble came up, but
the bubble was just a blur of colours, like a rainbow. Then a blank
white screen came up. The "Welcome Note" was a mass of colours.
Then the main screen came up with the "O2-UK, date and time"
and that was a rainbow blur underneath each letter/number - the blur
was like a shadow. The background was white. The only thing on the screen
was the network, date and time blurred. So, my mum contacted Samsung
themselves and they sent an envelope for it to be sent away yet again.
It came back 2 weeks later and after a while the problems were appearing...
more and more often. So, back to my place of purchase I went on the
3rd March. I had it back again, 3 weeks later, and I have had it for
3 hours and already people are having problems getting my texts. I have
had another phone for the 3 weeks mine was away and I have not had a
single problem sending texts. Tried my sim in other phones and not a
problem. It is the Samsung. DON'T TOUCH THIS PHONE. IT'S A WASTE OF
SPACE. 3 times it has been away for repair, 3 different places and they
have still not solved the problems. I have had various different things
done to it. Good luck if you have one. I wouldn't recommend one. It
looks nice, but thats the only good thing about it.

This phone is NIGHTMARE, I'am a software developper for mobile phones,
and I can tell you that it can ruin your life. I agree, it looks nice,
and the interface is nice, but beneath it, only God knows how it works.
If you plan to play GAMES on your phone, DEFFINITELY DO NOT BUY PHONE

I am totally with everyone who slag the phone off. its the worst i have
ever had. Just like everyone else i had the phone for a few months without
any problems but the the phone kept dropping calls for no reason at
all. Then it startd cutting incomming calls off when you answer them.
now its refusing to send and receive texts even though i have fill signal.
The only way of getting them or beng able to make calls is by turing
the phone off and on again or trying to connect to another service and
then going back to vodafone. Then i get loads of texts that have not
ben received all day and voice messages as they have gone straight to
answerphone. now the phone is sticking and just as the person below
said, the screen looks like the ink is ruuning....is very weird. considering
what people are saying about samsung i think ill drop it and claim on
the insurance.

I have had my phone for nearly a year and have never had any problems
with it. It's smart, small and easy to use. I am disappointed it has
no bluetooth but it's not a major problem. The battery could hold out
a bit longer but I have had worse. I think it's the most compact realiable
phone I have had yet.

It's a good phone, v. sleek and stylish. but it's really difficult to
receive he right settings for mms. my screen froze a few days ago and
it appeared as though ink was running down inside my screen, like it
was melting! my screen is often unreactive when i push a soft key also.
battery life is about 32 hours.. and that's not with excessive use.
they're a cool phone, but anyone who's gonna buy one.. make sure you
get a guarantee and buy it from a reputable source.;)

Well what can I say, I thought it was me that had the problem, not the
phone !! I've only had this phone since September. Everytime a ring
another mobile or landline the phone says "network not available" and
when I do finally get the "conditional forwarding" it cuts me off, people
keep asking why I put the phone down on them ?? The phone doesn't even
ring at my end when making calls. I have been into the O2 shop and guess
what?? Yep it worked perfectly - I though I was going mental, but after
reading all these comments I now know I'm not. Maybe Samsung or O2 should
read these comments on this website, so they can get their arses into
gear, and help the customers who have problems with the phones. I deal
with mobiles at work, and I wish I'd kept to the Orange network with
a Nokia - so much easier. I am just waiting for my contract to end,
and then I'm going back to Orange.

Everybody seems to be asking this question: what do you do with the
infra-red. Simple. Go to www.samsungmobile.com and download the program
called EasyStudio 1.0, install it on your pc and use it to send pictures
and ringtones to your computer and vice versa. Btw, this is one of the
best quality phones on the market right now. It does lack a few features
but it is extremely reliable so those that have problems with this phone
are the unlucky few.

last about 2 days. I am an engineer and work on products just like this
so i know how to use them and i know the problem you can get - this
is obviously a software issue that SAMSUNG cannot be bothered to or
cannot fix - DO NOT BELEIVE THEM IF THEY SAY IT IS WATER OR USER ERROR

This phone is great! i won it in a competition, and i had a Nokia 3220
before. This phone is so much clearer then that!. The camera quality
is great, and the zooming is even better. The ringtones are great, but
they could do with being a bit louder. 2 minute voice recording is a
bit of a let down, i used to have recordings as ringtones on my nokia
but i can't do it on this. Another downfall is the fact that it can't
play 3GP files. It has infared, but you can only send numbers :(

I have always had samsungs, and up until know they have been excellent
phones and very reliable. However, the E800 is terrible, there is a
fault on it, that Samsung can't fix. 6 out of every 10 text you try
to send fails. 4 out of 10 phone calls you should recieve go directly
to your answer phone, even though you have a signal. Samsung have informed
me this is a problem that 02 should sort out, however, if I use anyother
phone I dont have these problems. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I've lost all of them! Marvellous! I've only had this phone since Oct
04 and have had many intermittent problems... "Error" during text, reception
cutting in and out for no apparent reason, switching itself off and
now a complete breakdown rendering the phone useless. Am intrigued as
to whether it will actually be fixed by the manufacturer considering
everyone else's posted problems! Ho hum! Should not have been a sucker

i think that the e800 is a brilliant phone for what it is as it doesnt
pretend to be something its not. i work in a mobile phone shop and have
to say this is a really popular phone still, and very few have come
in to be repaired, unlike sagem and sendo phones! i know this phone
does not have bluetooth and a video cam and a mega pixal camera but
you knew that when you bought it so id say its a wicked girls phone,
ideal for your handbag and for taking suprisingly good photos.

Positives 1. Small and light 2. Nice looking Negatives 1. If you hate
predictive text like i do you have to turn off T9 everytime you send
a message. The mobile doesnt save your settings. 2. If you get a call
during writing a text all your text message is lost so you have to start
again. 3. Poor ringtones, no normal tones are included just rubbish
drum and bss and wierd dog barking/singing tones. 4. The phone doesnt
ring and vibrate at the same time so by the time the phone rings the
call has ended. 5. Buggy software. The phone turns itself off, crashes
during calls, hangs up calls, goes in and out of reception randomly,
cuts the calls off on pickup, the screen sometimes appears corrupted.
6. Infared is useless as you cant send pictures or ringtones all you
can do is receive. 7. pictures cant be previewed very well. The software
distorts the image when it uses it as wallpaper. 8. GPRS/WAP is buggy
and sometimes doesnt work despite being setup with the correct settings.
The only good thing about this phone is its looks and cool slider function.
Nobody buys this phone for its features as the spec was only average
upon its release. The D500 is light years above this model.

Just to answer some of the queries some of the other reviewers seem
to be complaining about: 1 To prevent phone going into standy mode everytime
u slide down, go the slide settings in phone settings menu and select
continue operation. 2 If u dont want to answer calls by sliding the
phone open then go to active slide in phone settings menu and turn it
off. 3 To activate silent mode press and hold #key. To choose whether
u want it to vibrate in silent mode go to quiet mode in sound settings
menu and turn it on/off. 4 To turn on vibration for ringtones or messages
go to incoming calls or messages in sound settings menu and select alert
type. 5 To turn off periodic message alert tones for sms/mms messages
go to messages in sound settings menu, select sms/mms, select repetition
and choose the once option. 6 To view missed calls and messages or the
time in standy mode, press and hold either volume key on left handside.
7 To record voice memos, create new mms message, select sound and select
record new. To acess saved voices go to media box in fun box menu, select
sounds and select voices. 8 To use infared for sending and receiving
pictures and ringtones, download and install the program EasyStudio
from www.samsungmobile.com. If ur pc doesnt have infrared, use a cable.
9 To make photo capture more discreet, go to settings in camera menu,
select shutter sound, select tones 1,2 or 3 and change keypad volume
to 1. 10 If ur phone does not make or receive calls and you are certain
u know how to use a phone then it is not because the manufacturers designed
it that way but because ur phone is in urgent need of a replacement.
Thank you.

This phone is rubbish. It looks lovely but once you had it for a few
months, the problems will start. It takes me about 10 tries to send
a text message as it just says 'error' I can hardly ever answer a call
- it just wont connect, making a call drives me insane - it takes about
5 attempts to get through as it sayd 'call failed' .... its absolutely
a waste of time. 02 say theres no network problem but coz its from carphone
warhouse they want to send it off and give me abrick in the meantime...I
cant win! It doesnt ring & vibrate at the same time.....why??? The screen
goes black when not in use so you have to unlock the phone to see if
you have missed calls/text's....why?? If you write a text and get a
call in between sending it, the text you have written disappears......why???
The phone lock drives me mad - yuou have to constantly unlock the keypad,
you cant activate it like a nokia. I cant transfer all numbers from
phone to sim......why???? The handsfree earpiece is the weirdest thing
- its so short the phone hanggs round your neck if you are driving!

This phone is awful. For the first couple of months everything was fine

I attempt to make a call i get either network failure messages or call
failed messages. The phone wont accept calls and the graphics freeze
and turns itself off. It's been sent away for repair 3 times and has
just been returned to me again. I've been advised there is not a manufacturers
fault but due to misuse I have caused the problem, most probably by
subnerging the phone in water! I find it highly suspicious that O2 advise
that if you phone can't be repaired after 3 attempts they will replace
the phone and it's only on the third attempt they say it's water logged.
This phone is awful so don't even bother.

I think the samsung E800 has very good picture qualitiy. It is clear
and the flash makes it brighter when in dark areas. I like the design
of the phone and most of the features. It would have been better if
it had bluetooth and more features of infrared. It would also be better
if it could infrared to other types of mobile (eg Nokia). It would also
be better if you could record more than two minutes at a time, and that
the recording can be set as ringtones. The internet options are good
and i like the speed of the phone. You don't have to wait for it to
load at all. Overall i think it is a good phone but could do with some
extra features.

I purchased the E800 last September, and was originally very pleased
with it - I have since changed my mind. This month I've had to send
it away to Samsung twice for repair - and it's still not fixed!! The
mobile cuts out mid way through calls - thats if I'm lucky enough to
be able to answer the call in the 1st place. The phone completely freezes,
then switches itself off and then resets causing me to lose all my WAP
and MMS settings - very annoying!! The majority of the time I am unable
to send any text messages, and recently the colours on the screen have
started to merge followed by the phone switching itself off! I originally
thought it was a problem with my network provider and contacted them.
O2 confirmed that they had no coverage problems in my area and suggested
that I tried my sim card in another handset. I did this and it works
fine. It is the actual E800 handset that is rubbish!!

I am sick to death of everyone slaggin off this phone. I've had this
phone for five months now and have not experienced any problems with
the software so those that are having problems should have theirs updated
and i dont mean by their network provider who install their own version
with their own crappy menus but from an official samsung service centre
which should have the latest update with all the bugs fixed. As for
those who are complaining about the phone going into standy mode when
you slide down or the message tone continues playing every 1 minute
or it doesnt have silent mode or you cant see your missed calls in standy
mode... READ THE MANUAL!

Was sold on the firm sliding action but very disappointed with functions
and intuitiveness: 1. Incoming calls can be answered by sliding out,
which is what I like, but the Answer soft key cannot be disabled. This
means that while fishing out the phone from pocket, can accidentally
answer the incoming call before we can see who is calling. 2. No traditional
ring tone - very annoying to have music coming out from my pocket. Practically
everywhere you go you hear the first few bars of some music coming from
someone's pocket, bag, etc. Fun to some, but not to all. 3. The association
of keypad numbers to commands in the menu is very annoying. For instance,
to find a phonebook entry, I press the phonebook button. If I press
a letter, it should quick search to the record but instead the keypad
is mapped to 1-find name, 2-add entry and so on. So the phone is definitely
for people who has little else to do. 4. The phonebook display cannot
be switched between phone and SIM. So if you have a SIM card with all
your contacts set up, you use that card in E800C, and you want to add
more numbers to some names (office no., mobile no., etc to John, say),
you need to do a copy all to the phone phonebook, then add more details.
However, when you open the phonebook, BOTH the SIM and phone phonebook
are shown together, making it hell to find the entry you want, unless,
of course, you still have nothing else to do but fiddle with a phone.
They should allow one to set the phonebook display to take only from,
say, the phone phonebook. Samsung's solution to this? Erase all your
SIM card entries! Brilliant! That is fine if all we have is an E800C.
But what if you have more than one phone? Erasing SIM entries is stupid,
I think. As far as functionality and user-friendliness are concerned,
the E800C has a long, long way to go and for people with more important
things to do, the E800C can be a neat-looking piece of junk.

I have had this phone for nearly 6 months and the only reason i am keeping
it is beacause i am tied into a contract. I have had numerous problems
from day 1. The battery time is the worst ever, it lasts me 2/3 days
tops. It often freeze's and switches itself off and then on again. i
am often unable to send sms, which is quite annoying. Another thing,
everytime u switch the phone off, u lose all of the words which u spell
out when using predictive txt, i have never had this problem before
but i believe it is quite common. The display on the phone is v boring
and unless the phone is on silent mode, it makes annoying warning tones
which u can't turn off; this occurs when something is deleted or when
the inbox for example is empty. on the good side the camara is excellent
but that is all.

well i have had this fone for a while now and i would say that u shuldnt
listen to anyone who says it is rubbish becos it is by far the best
fone out there...all those people who dont like it obviously just dont
know how to read a manual as i ahve read the manual i have found out
it can be put on silent and the back doesnt fall off as long as u put
it on properly and as for the annoying noises they can be turned off!!
so i thoroughly reccomend it- the camera is excellent, the slide effect
is addictive an i have had many compliments!! a great fone all round!!

This phone is the worst phone I've ever owned. I've had the pleasure
of hacing to get it repaired twice now because Samsung cant make a decent
phone. First the speaker stops working, i get it back and then the keys
stop working. I'm doing nothing to affect this as I am always super
careful with my phone and this being expensive I was even more careful.
As a result I am having to change this, going back to trusty Nokia's
i think, wouldnt give Samsung anymore of my time or money. I wouldn't
buy unless you want to be messing around forever...2 of my friends own
this phone and they've had theres repaired as well due to similar failings...so
its not just a one off.

I've had this phone since August 2004 and I still love it. The most
obvious plus-point is the sleek, sexy design with the smooth slide-down.
You don't even have to slide the phone apart to use most of the functions.
The camera is really good quality (although not quite as good as the
e700). I was so impressed with the many camera settings, e.g. size options,
various special effects, picture frames etc. The memory seems to be
very large too - I have already taken over 200 hi-res pics which has
only used up about half the memory! Like some of the other reviewers,
I am disappointed at the absence of Bluetooth, but all in all I would
say that the other features make up for it. Trust Samsung again to bring
us style, quality and sophistication.

Over the past few days, I had picked up a bad habit - sliding the new
Samsung SGH-E800C up and down repeatedly even when i did not have any
intention of using the phone. Such is the smoothness of the sliding
mechanism of the latest Samsung slide-up phone that makes me want to
keep sliding the phone. When compared to Samsung's first slide up phone,
the SGH-D410C, the E800C is significantly smaller. When the phone is
closed, an average male hand can easily warp around the entire phone.
The sliding mechanism is also noticeably easier to handle. While sliding
remains smooth like in the D410C, Samsung added more resistance when
the phone is opened. In this way, the user has more control when using
the buttons on the top compartment. In the D410C, the top compartment
kept sliding down when I tried to access the top buttons. The extra
resistance when the phone is closed also prevents users from sliding
the phone accidentally. Those looking for advanced features after they
are impressed by the phone design are going to be disappointed. The
E800C is only a Dual-Band GSM phone. Those who use roaming services
in the 1900MHz regions like US and korea may want to avoid this phone.
Bluetooth is still missing from this phone despite Samsung's promise
to bring in more bluetooth phones.Coupled with the missing USB connection
option, users are left with MMS and infrared to transfer their picture
files out of the phone. The phone interface is one area where Samsung
had put lots of effort to improve. There is really little to pick on
the phone interface. In fact, little things like how the camera button
works impressed me a lot. To prevent accidental activation of the camera
function, users have to press and hold onto the camera button before
going straight into the shooting screen. A 640 x 480 pixels camera may
not sound like a prized feature even on a portable device like a mobile
phone. But the quality of the built-in camera is exceptional. Seldom
can you find an integrated phone camera to be able to capture night
scenes as well as the one in the E800C. You don't even have to switch
to night mode to get a decent shot of the glittering Esplanade at night.
The camera is able to adjust the backlighting of the shot accurately
and still produce relatively sharp pictures despite the slower shutter
speed. The SGH-E800C is small and suitable for those who don't need
features like Bluetooth, Tri-band GSM. The built-in VGA camera is exceptional.

One of the best phones on the market (at least for me), this is easily
the best phone i have ever owned. Admittedly if you are after a lot
of entertainment features like mp3, radio etc. this is not so good.
In fact the camera on this phone is only moderately useful as uploading
your photos to a computer in order to view them properly, (the screen
is not the biggest and the photos don't even take advantage of the whole
screen area) is difficult and a really slow. You must get an irda adaptor
for your computer. That is the ONLY way to view pictures on the higher
quality settings (you can only send crappy very low res photos to your
email account). But all this is only of minor importance to people like
me who carry compact digital cameras (in my case the Pentax optio s)
with them all the time and which are miles better than even the best
phone cameras. For me the most important things are stlying (which includes
size), ease of use, battery and call quality. And in three of thes e
departments this phone is great. The battery life between charges was
only o.k. But the best feature of this phone undoubtedly is the slider
mechanism and the noise cancellation funtionality. 2 features that are
actually very useful. The update to this phone is going to be the best
phone ever.

love it. Picture quality is ok for this size phone, i'm not really looking
for a megapixel camera phone anymore since i use a pro DSLR for pphotography.
I hear a lot of complaints about the build quality and i disagree with
most of them. My unit is working just fine. I guess it really depends
on how you take care of the phone. Good phone, not great, but a good

This phone has just about everything you need: VGA camera with flash,
20MB memory for photos and ringtones, 1000 phonebook memory, Wap and
Java downloads, infra-red link and an easy to use calender/organiser.
The camera features are probably one of the most advanced for a mobile
phone with various effects such as black&white, sepia and negative as
well as other options such as photo frames, multi-shot, upside-down
and mirror modes, night mode and of course the built-in powerful flash.
The only downside to this phone is that with so many advance features
it lacks a video recorder/playback and the battery life is not too great.
But it has a new menu system (not like in older sasmung models) which
should make it easy for anyone to get the hang of using this phone.

I had this phone for 3 days on contract but i got bored of it quickly
and exchanged it for a 6230. The main reason was, besides the camera
the phones lacks features of phones alot cheaper than it is. It has
no bluetooth no mp3 it has no memory expansion, its not even triband,
you can buy phones that are less than £99 that have triband. The phone
also lacks video mode which is a shame because it has such a big screen
you would have thought Samsung would have added this feature, even the
samsung e600 has video mode and is £100 cheaper and is triband unlike
the E800. This phone is only expensive becuase it has a slider if it
never had a slider it would be a alot cheaper its blatantly just a fasion
phone and to be honest when its closed it looks like a thick blob. The
receptions not good either mine kept hissing in a call but mine could
have been faulty, the slider feels wobley when you text on it you can
feel the phone move like it would break after a while. Also the menu
doesnt make use of the screen you will only find 9 poorly drawn icons
which are non-animated in a ugly grid view. There are no nice icons
and pictures in the menu once you have clicked into a particular icon
you are left with a screen full of drop down words with a plain red
or blue background i was very surprised by this cause samsung menus
normally look so atractive. My advice for some one who wants a sleek
fashionable samsung phone would be to go for the E600 instead.

I have up to now owned three different Siemens phone, most recently
the S55. I like them a lot - they're small, functional, reliable, attractive,
really well built. I've never had a problem with any of them, but really
wanted a sliding design on my latest purchase; I realised I could either
wait a few months for the new SL65 or get the E800. I chose the latter,
free with an Orange Yourplan120 contract. The phone looks good - it
has a nice silver finish, the screen is clear, the slide is nice and
smooth and the buttons have a good response. When slided open it feels
a little flimsy, something I've never found on a Siemens, but it's not
a big problem. The screen is a typically excellent Samsung, menus make
sense and it's all easy to use. I had no problems getting my head round
it all, and it's all common sense which is excellent. It's a little
on the thick side but that's not surpririsng given all the features
packed inside it. In any case it is still a very small phone, with similar
dimensions to my compact Siemens S55. The camera is surprisingly good
quality at "fine" using the 640x480 resolution. It's got zoom and brightness
control in addition to special effects features and the 20mb memory
can store plenty of pictures. Unfortunately, there's no bluetooth to
transfer them to your laptop and instead you have to use infra-red or
a cable. The lack of bluetooth is a big downside to this phone, and
marks it as a mid-range rather than a top-range phone. The keypad, unsurprisingly,
is not the best as it is crammed into a small area on the sliding section
on the phone. Writing texts can be slow and uncomfortable, but the predictive
text is good and making calls it is fantastic - a good, clear earpiece,
a good-quality handsfree kit included free. Battery life is pretty good
for a phone of its size. I reckon two and a half to three days with
moderate use is the typical battery life, which is pretty good. The
two games included on the phone are fairly lame, but there are some
good downloadable ones around, even if they cost to download. This is
a good phone. It doesn't have the finesse or the build quality of Siemens,
but then again I've never found a brand that does. The software is a
little flaky in places and it can crash on occassions. But these are
crimes typical to most phones today, and I would recommend buying this
phone. But if you can wait for it, the Siemens SL65 is likely to be
similar in features but of greatly better software and build quality,
going on past form. Knowing what I know now I might well have waited
for that rather than go for the Samsung E800.

The phone is small and sleek and can fit into the palm of my hand, navigation
buttons (under the screen) are well laid out considering the size of
the phone. The slider is semiautomatic, meaning the mechanism inside
takes over the sliding once it gets to a certain point. The menus on
the phone are easy to navigate, on previous Samsung phones each menu
category filled up the whole screen, on this phone all 9 menu categories
are on the screen at the same time. The phone can be operated unslided,
the buttons are locked automatically when the phone isn't slided. The
number buttons are awkward to use, I've lost count of the times I've
pressed the wrong button, I think it may be because I'm not sure if
other users have experienced the screen wobbling backward and forward
slightly when slided up, this is annoying after only having the phone
for 4 days.
