1. Cons (trying again)
12 Sep 2008 by Aishah Schwartz

Cons: (trying again) Another shocker was that it does not automatically save sent messages - and I just learned from reading on here that it does not save replies to received messages or forwards. This is noteable as I now know that if I want to reply to a message and have the option of saving it that I have to create a new message.
My old T-809 has a flip-camera lense which is really a cool tool - I used it often - the J-700 lense doesn't flip.
The T-809 is also made from a material that after 2 years never showed scarcely a sign of wear and tear.
It does not let you edit photos that have been transfered from the memory card to the 'downloaded' folder and won't let you transfer from 'downloaded' to 'my photos' and it is only from 'my photos' that you can edit images. This is a bummer, because some of my images need to be rotated - when you take a picture in 'landscape' mode and flip it to 'portrait' then select to set it as wallpaper, the image fills up the whole screen vs. just a framed portion of the screen - which looks way cooler.

2. Anyone having trouble getting the battery cover off?

The battery/back cover of my phone won't slide off for nothing. This is seriously annoying. Anyone else encounter this?
Outward features nice. Speaker and headphone volume and sound quality nice. I like that it offers a third option for deletions - delete selected, delete multiple or delete all. The T-809 didn't offer 'multiple' and in the beginning, until I learned the phone, I didn't know if when I selected 'all' I was going to just lose everything or what - then I learned that it lets you unselect specific items.

'space' shud be in middle of btm keyboard not right, inconvenient to type symbol, too many step, phonebk too few items, too many steps to sd msg w/phonebk. The lesson is:better pay more & get better phone!

5. Quite disappointing

if you're to create message,there is an option to "save and send" but if you're replying or forwarding, your message will not be saved in the sent items... so bad!
it is very appealing from the outside, but it lacks some good features..i hope we can replace this with new ones once a new and enhanced version is made..
well, it is better than nothing.

6. Mediocre

Phone is so-so. Below my expectations. Got it two weeks ago on a pre-paid plan; I am not a fan of slide phones but aside from block phones that seems to be all there is on the market these days.
My major gripe - DOES NOT SAVE MESSAGES YOU SEND. Call me crazy but I would really expect this to be a standard feature of ANY phone. Have read through the whole user manual and there is no mention of saving sent message settings. It also saves some text messages you receive on the phone and some on the SIM card, seemingly randomly. REALLY something that needs to be looked into.
Another thing I dislike is the fact that there is very little customisation you can do with this phone, in terms of display settings. There are only two colours, black and white. For a phone that claims to be stylish, I consider this pretty below par.
Plus - the volume key on the side seems to be ineffectual. I would have expected it to at least light up the screen when the phone is closed so that you can check the time without opening the phone entirely. All I can see is that you can use it to change the volume of music - and only when the music screen itself is open. Try doing it on other screens, even the playlist screen - doesn't work.

7. Good ... but not great

Had the phone for 5 days ... birthday present from kids.
Great looking phone ... but mediocre features and difficult to configure. Documentation extremely poor. Does not save sent texts. Screen very difficult to view in bright daylight. Cant work out how to change ringtone.
LG was a lot easier to use than this.

I liked this phone, i do not want to complain but there should be some changing..1)the pin provided for charging and listening through wire,we have to pull the pin cover which becomes a problem to keep in the pocket. ..2)i did not find FM Recorder in SGH-J700...3)speaker sound is not enough for listening mp3 or fm...4)we cannot copy any pictures while using browser.
Otherwise it is a very successful set,only you have to reach information into the common public.It will be better to reach through colleges because students will like most.
Please neglect the spelling and grammer mistake. Thank you
