Samsung E840 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The World's slimmest phone offers a lot for your
money, provided that you can put up with its touch-sensitive buttons
and a battery life that's shorter than average.
Review: September 2007.
The Samsung E840 is the World's slimmest slide phone, beating the Samsung
U600 by a hair's breadth at 10.6mm. Usually it's the top-of-the-range
phones that set these kinds of records, but the E840 is a mid-range
phone. It's very impressive how Samsung have managed to cram so much
into such a tiny phone at this budget. If you wanted a U600 but couldn't
afford it, then this could be the one for you.
Although it's recognisably a Samsung, the E840 deviates a bit from
the usual Samsung slider look and feel. Apart from its incredible thinness,
it feels solid enough, weighing in at 99g (heavier than most recent
Samsungs) and has a nice smooth glassy finish. The keypad isn't the
best, but it'll be fine unless you have particularly large fingers.
However, it does come with love-them-or-hate-them touch-sensitive navigation
buttons. Our frank advice on this is to avoid the phone unless you've
already had experience of touch-sensitive buttons (e.g. in the Samsung
E900 or LG Chocolate). A safe
alternative which now costs about the same is the Samsung
D900i.
Sill reading? OK, well apart from the touch-sensitive issue, we like
the phone a lot. It's got a lot of stuff packed into its miniature bodywork.
First thing that you'll notice is the huge (2.2 inch) ultra high resolution
LCD display on the front. The camera is less impressive, being rated
at 2 megapixels and lacking a flash - it's for snaps only, and won't
replace a proper digital camera. But the music player is fully featured,
playing a wide range of formats and handling playlists quite nicely
too. A built-in FM radio completes the scene. There's also a good amount
of memory available - 70 Mbytes - which is enough for around 15 songs
- and you can buy a memory card really cheaply these days to expand
the storage. Connectivity is good, with support for Bluetooth 2.0, USB
2.0 and a TV-Out connection if you want to display pictures or videos
directly onto your telly. It's quadband too, so you can take it anywhere
abroad and it has a useful document viewer for viewing Word, Excel and
Powerpoint files.
Although Samsung claim impressive an battery life, we are sceptical.
You just can't fit a big battery in a phone this skinny, and the reality
is that the E840 is challenged when it comes to battery life.
So, a lovely phone with plenty of features in a good looking superslim
body, the E840 offers a lot for your money. Provided that you can put
up with the touch-sensitive buttons and don't demand too much from the
battery, this is a phone that you could really love.
Features of the Samsung E840 include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
- Video camera
- Display: mirror-effect TFT, 262,144 colours, 240 x 320 pixels
- Music player (MP3/ ACC/ ACC+/ e-AAC+/ WMA formats)
- FM radio
- 64-voice polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones
- Voice memo recorder
- Speakerphone
- Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, Email (POP3 / SMTP / IMAP4)
- Document viewer
- Java games & applications
- Offline Mode (Flight mode)
- Personal information functions
- Caller ID (Text / Photo / Video)
- WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10, EDGE
- Memory: 70 Mbytes plus MicroSD™ memory card slot
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, TV-Out
- Quadband
- Size: 102 x 53 x 10.6 mm
- Weight: 99g
- Talktime: 4.5 hours
- Battery standby: up to 360 hours

I got this phone on pay as you go nearly 2 years ago and it's still
going strong!!! I'm only posting here as I've been looking around for
its replacement. I work in the building industry and trust me this phone
has taken a proper beating! Only downside is the camera which is very
average, also the battery life aint the best. It's been all over the
Uk with me and to many a foreign country. Top phone! only looking to
replace so I can get better picture and video quality. Happy days hope
the next phone serves so good :)

I LOVE this phone!!!! its absolutely amazing. the only problem i have
with it is that iv now lost it... :S but i had it for well over a year
before i lost it and am now considering buying another one!! i love
the way the screen handily doubles as a mirror!! the battery life isnt
too great, but it'll last a couple of days without needing charging.
it's really user-friendly, i find it really easy to use. the touch sensitive
buttons take a bit of getting used too, but now iv been using them for
so long i get really annoyed when i have to use a phone without!! i
recommend you buy this!! its well worth it =P

I've had this phone for almost a year now, and generally it's a good
phone, but it does lack some very basic functions that can get a little
irritating, like the lack of profiles, the inability to turn off the
low battery noise (which is a problem when you spend a lot of time in
an environment where you need your phone on silent) and the fact you
can't save numbers that have texted you into your phone book. With the
exception of those minor gripes though, this is a great phone, and I
really enjoy using it.

This phone is simply the best. Nokia's have always been heralded as
the easy-to-use, user friendly handset - well, not any more. This Samsung
is so intuitive, and FAR more easy to use and with a quicker response
time than any of the Nokia's. Just remove the stupid fountain pen/quill
animation when you type numbers that's set by default, and you're good
to go (Settings > Display Settings > Dialing Display > Font Type). There
is a certain sensitivity of touch required by the top buttons to operate
them perfectly every single time, but this can be picked up quickly
and should not discourage you in the slightest. The camera does in fact
take outstanding pictures in the day time, but when light levels drop
the images start getting noisy (i.e. quality drops). Synchronising items
with your PC is easy, insert the disc and install the USB Cable driver
and Samsung PC Studio as prompted, and you're away. The battery is poorer
than normal phones, but I use the thing non-stop and I only h ave to
charge it every 2 days, so it should be fine really. The Verdict? This
phone has so many little things that it does which makes it so much
easier and faster to use than any of its competitors but in a way so
you won't notice until you try and use a different phone. Personally,
I had this phone stolen from me once, and after finding out Samsung
discontinued it I bought it second hand from the Amazon marketplace,
no thought required. It is truly worth its weight in gold.

I love this phone! I've had it for almost 2 years and it's got so many
features. The touch buttons take a while to get used to but thats fair
enough. I never seemed to have that much trouble with the battery, it
would last quite a few days untouched and when used last for about 3
days. The camera is reasonably good. I really like this phone.

Have previously written a review which is down a wee bit on this page.
My screen has gone again! I got it back from the retailer August 9th
last year, they fixed it for free as it was still under warranty and
I was well happy to get my lovely phone back after suffering my old
Samsung flippy-thing that l@@ks like it came out of Noah's Ark(gutted
'though that I hadn't backed anything up & I lost whatever not on my
memory card). Have had it this time, but not put me off my Samsungs..
my sister's is still going strong! Am going to buy the U600, the one
I really wanted to start with but was too expensive at the time. The
camera was probably my only gripe with the E840, takes good enough pics
if you've got a steady hand but rubbish for night-time pics, the U600
has a flash. R.I.P my lovely pink E840.. you've let me down for the
last time!

Definitely one of the most beautiful slider phones out there. The features
on it are also pretty impressive. However, the battery life is bad..just
like most other samsung sliders and the touch sensitive keys on top
are very annoying and easy to press and go through the menu onto things
you did not want. The phone also locks itself while u are having a conversation
which is annoying. I would not recommend this phone for anybody who
texts a lot because it is very uncomfortable. Other than that, the music
player is awesome and the camera is good (2 mp).

I'm not a phone geek by any means and actually asked my service provider
to choose any phone at random for me when i upgraded. I personally have
had no problems with this phone at all. Its small, has a super shiny
screen and touch buttons which at first are annoying but you really
get used to. The only bad bit is the camera, although 2megapixels, is
more like 0.2! but other than that its a fantastic phone! If you want
a mid-range phone thats not too techinical then i'd go for this phone!

I like this phone a lot, the design and everything is good. Only problems
are the sound is too soft, I cant hear unless the area I am in is quiet.
The music player is also too soft. The camera needs a flash and the
last problem is it cannot view large photos. So if I copy a photo from
my computer or someone sends me one often I cant view it. Otherwise
the phone is great.

I have had my Samsung E840 for about 4 months. So far I have had no
problems with it at all. The memory is not too bad, I have purchased
a 128 MB MicroSD card, and I have around 35 songs and lots of videos
and photographs stored. There is one problem though, and it did make
me change my mind about the phone. The camera is 2 Mega pixels which
is not too bad, but with my model, after pressing the 'take photo' button,
I have to wait around 5 seconds before it takes my photo. And also the
speaker for the Music Player is not extremely loud, but of course you
can not expect it to be if its not a Walkman. The touch-sensitive buttons
are fashionable and modern but sometimes it can get extremely annoying.
I end up phoning the first person on my contact list without even knowing
it. But once you are used to the buttons, the phone is easy to use.
Overall, for the price, this phone is good. If you want this phone for
music I suggest you get a WalkMan phone. But I have been told the phone
is very stylish so if you are buying it for its style and touch-sensitive
buttons I suggest this you get this phone as you will not find one as
good as it (touch sentsitive buttons) for the price. Enjoy (: Also I
have no complaints about the battery life although as most phones do,
I expect the battery life will get shorter the longer I use it. But
I have been told that as soon as you buy your phone, charge it then
drain the battery, then repeat this three times. I have been told by
experts that this increases battery life (: Hope it helped. x

SAMSUNG SGH-E840 awesome phone. nothing beats its cost to productivity

scirocco users jealous**** the sound quality is excellent, volume suits
my needs. Other users' requirements may vary. The silver edge has now
started peeling off a little bit, but that is entirely due to the humid
atmosphere of Bombay. the touch sensitive buttons also start acting
up according to the seasons. so may not be entirely appreciated for
people in chilly regions. EXCELLENT INTERFACE. EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE.
4hours talk, and almost a day and a half on standby. sucky earphones.

A good solid feel. The mirror effect is really handy to. The touch buttons

absolutely gorgeous phone !! you can find it under £100 on payg which
is a real bargain. ok, so the battery isnt too great but it does have
radio, excellent music player, 2mp camera, nice browser and a good display.
definitely one of the sexiest lookin phones of all time !!!

At first the touch buttons were quite confusing but after just a day
getting to know this phone you get to love it! The battery has been
fine and I've been messing with the settings and playing games and running
media player all day. Now, the camera, its a phone peoples. Not a fully
fledged camera. If you want a phone with flash & mega pixels and macro
get an actual camera, not a phone! And if people are having problems
with their slider they've obviously dropped it or pushed it too hard
or forced it. Just give it a nudge and let it sliiiide. As for its looks...
I fell in love at first sight. It's beautiful. For me, it's the perfect
phone.

first of all forget wot evryone else has said, because this phone is
superb, i charged my phone all niht and it lasted 2 weeks the camera
is brill and its clear its good 4 taking snapshots the only downside
is that it hasnt got a flash but you can live with it. secondly the
music player is excellent and its easy to put songs on there from the
pc. also it looks and feels great its a stunner and its got a mirror
like screen so you can look at yourself whenever lol. lastly if you
think that this phone seems good then buy it because at the end of the
day you either love it or hate it if you like touch screen buttons and
good looking phones then buy it. p.s i love it and its just right 4
me

the phone is great however there are some points that let it down. I
have been using samsung mobiles for about 3 years now and have had other
touch sensitive samsungs (e900) but the buttons on this seen to be less
responsive than those on the E900. although the phone does look great
the camera is very poor quality and i don't feel that it is 2 mp as
i have had 3 other 2 mp phones from samaung and this is very poor, the
resolution seemed similar to the extremely out dated VGA cameras not
impressed. as for all these comments saying the phone hangs up due to
the sensitive buttons is rubbish because the phone locks the keypad
when making a call so the buttons are not even active unless you make
them so really that is their faults not the phones over all i think
it is a average phone but if phone not the best from samsung oh and
also battery poor even for a slimline phone has to be charged every
other day.

Absolutely gorgeous!! What more can i say. Looks absolutely stunning
and feels great in the hand. The screen is amazing and didnt take me
long to get used to the touch sensitive keys. Not the best camera out
there but packs in an impressive feature set for a phone this slim with
fm radio, cool music player and great video playback. If fashion phone's
your thing then you definitely won't regret getting this.

The worst phone i have ever owned bar none. The touch buttons are rubbish
and end the call because of the heat from your cheek,and the functions
are cumbersome and way more complicated than needed. Dont even start
on the battery life or signal reception !

the lots have failed to realize this phone is the thinnst in the world
and obviously so expected features would have been minimised as its
more features to fit in less fone....so dnt expect to c flash jus yet
prob in the next thin slider for now the tech isnt there so stop all
your complaining obviously with a smaller fone they had to cut back
on battery so cmon ppl im sure the fone has exceeded your expectations
as the thinnest slider in the world..honestly i cant wait to c the next
great phone samsungs going to come with....im getting my e840 on the
weekend ive read alot and im really excited...i have one prob with samsung
though...THEY DONT LET YOU PERSONALIZE YOUR FONES AS U WOULD LIKE...ericson
keep it up samsung u need to work on that..anyway good fone samsung

Not impressed with this phone. It is advertised as battery life of 15
days which is a big joke, have to recharge it every other day and that
is without using features like camera and music! I have replaced the
phone, battery and charger and it is still the same- i am getting very
fed up with it! It accidentally makes calls far too easily, and texting
is not easy. On the positive size it looks good but for all the other
hassle it just isn't worth it,do yourseld a favour and don't buy it!

the camera is actually pretty good and i went down from a 3.2 mp camera
to this. and accept fro at night this camera takes amazing pictures!
it has all the featuress the u600 has which is more then the d900 and
it has a sexier look then them all. i love it!

good phone. i have bee using it since one month. i find no problem with
the touch sensitive button. yes the left top button (MENU)plays games
at times. but it is not a major problem. battery lasts for three days
with moderate use.it is a phone for those who know how to handle gadgets
sensibly. not for tyros and rough users.

this phone is a reall dissapointment! i bourght this thinking good features
stylish and wicked but the extra wide look is very annoying to use.
also the keepad is hurrendous the 2 megapixel camera is below average
in my oppinion as it does not inclued an led photo light or flash auto
focus should of been considered the large colour screen with mirror
is ok but it gets a bit annoying when you think it is off or you cant
find it sliding it up can also be rather stiff but over all i would
say this phone is below average i will probably swap it for a sony ericsson
K800i or samsung G600 tom harrison england, essex
