Awesome samsung low price phone!

11 Nov 2009 Luka

9.7 out of 10

I had this phone over almost one month and It's awesome.Most of the users want a low price phone with the newest technology (in this time it's definetly the touchscreen) and I think that Samsung is the best phone for that.It's very light,small dimensions and the hard keys are easy to press.The in call quality is excellent and thanks to the DNSE (Digital Natural Sound Engine) the ringtones are loud.The menu is standard Samsung base but with more eficency with the touchscreen.But only one thing that I don't like it's that you can't customize your homescreen because you need to have one picture divide in three (because of the three home screen's) for the best perfomance otherwise you will have one picture strecht all over the three home screen.Many users have said that the baterry life is poor but my phone can go on almost 4 days so I don't know where the problem is,maybe samsung has different phones in other country's? (I am from Croatia)
Overall this is a awesome low price phone.If you are looking for a low price,nice and stylish phone with trusted features you just found it!





-small dimensions
-samsung friendly user interface
-battery is very good
-low price
-nice quality
-you can't have a user installed home screen (you need to cut your picture in three)
-didn't find any java aplication so far
-only one game (depending on your operatot)

Correction

People!!!! There is a correction to be made.......  I had posted a review in which i said that the music player has a problem it stops by itself after a min or 2......... Well the problem was not with the music player but the F***in music files  which i downloaded were bad ...... but i cant put a game or a software in the phone (sad).....they say that samsung has put a lock on it & u have to unlock the phone to use any other free game or free software they expect us to buy every thing from the internet & then use it on the locked phone!!!!!   (but i still love it)...
