SGH-F700

7 Jul 2008 Marc

7.4 out of 10

Ever since i lost my first Samsung in a cab coming home, i vowed to grab me another. However, its been 2 years since my SGH-E was driven away and newer models from Samsung haven't really got my attention. So i brought a HTC touch. A window based operating system, with touch flow innovation (a product which launched in battle to take down I-phone). And that was my first PDA... My HTC lasted 6 grueling months, with multiple screen + USB port problems.... But surprisingly I grew accustomed to the phone very quickly; it was easy to pick up. The menu layout was amazingly simple and easy to use. The only down side to the story is that the 2.1 mega-pixel camera deserves some what better lens and My point is…. “I only used half the appreciations on board the PDA phone….”

That is why turned to use the SGH-700… it looks great.. it feels great in your hand… the applications are there to be used, thus, not too excessive… the 3 mega-pixel cam with build in flash takes great photos, and has great features…. The screen is “pretty” and bright (240 x 432 pixels) …. Personally the whole package looks better than the I-phone… the head sets that comes with it sounds great.. Plus the QWERTY keyboard is un beatable for emails and SMS…

Its been 5 days since I first got the phone and the problems I’m facing with the F700 so far are:
- when you accidentally call someone, you have to push two buttons in order to cancel hang up the call,. And that can be tricky sometimes…
- the battery (I don’t know if its just mine) is really crappy.. it will only last me a day. With an occasional usage of music and camera, and just over an hour of talk time… by the end of the day I would only have one bar left…
- thirdly… the sensitivity of the touch screen is down right low.. especially after you’ve put the protective film over it. And calibrations of the F700 made its accuracy a little bit off…
- last but not least.. the vibrating component was put in the top left of the F700, which, personally made it really hard to notice the incoming calls or messages when you are walking… or in a club.. hahaha…
- The Menu is a little hard to navigate at first.. but once you are used to the icons is Christmas…

Well I hope my review didn’t put you off buying the F700.. cus it is one of my favorites (I go through roughly around 5 phones per year) and the average shelf life for my cells are usually 2-3 months top.. But….!!!! I think I’ll be keeping this one for a while…..

I think i'll buy this phone... it's true that it have some problems, but i don't care! It's nice, well designed, and it got a QWERTY keyboard-what's very important to me! The web browser is also great and very user-friendly! So... I wanna see how it works with my own eyes!

Ok, I thought long and hard about this phone, and even tho I went out on a jump when I bought it, im glad I did.

I was supprised, i usually heard bad things about them. But so far i've had no problems with mine, and its now 4months old.

Brilliant phone, amazing interface, and when used with Vodafone, it is brilliant for things such as music station and web browsing!

9/10
