Casual Phone

abhishek32 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

the phone is nice but still lacks of other software. No O.S is the big disadvantage. The most strange thing in my phone it has that it says it has 200 mb inbuilt memory bt it is 320 mb may be i had got the othersome. but its nice. Its camera is not good. Lookwise it looks awesome no theme no upgradation makes it a big loser in premium market.

A cheap wifi-gps-well camera phone

Luciano-Argentina has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I love this phone, it has a beauty design, a good interface, well camera, and the best thing is it's battery it llongs during days, However, as it has no android, windows,ios, etc. there a little applications, In addition to this I can say that the built-in web surfing application is horrible(no qwerty,it says some times that is has the phone memory full i can't surf the complete page, etc), on the other hand using opera mini is excelent.

The samsung monte is a good phone the camera is excelent the internet is easy and very useful. But the battery life sucks!! And the lack off no qwerty keyboard lets the phone down. All in all it is a good phone but definetly room for some improvment!

Good telehpone as long as music is not priority

I got the phone and the quality of the mp3 player is the worst.
I used to have a Sonny Ericsson and, although it was much cheaper, it has an excellent sound and  execent bass .
There is now way to manually equalize the music.

If anybody knows how to use another mp3 player insted of the one that comes with the thelephone let me know please.
I'm really dissapointed with it.
I have to use another mp3 player to get good sound.

Great phone so far

Recently got this phone, really nice with everything you need really, Wi-Fi, 3G, camera, apps, music, radio, just all you need from a phone really.

The internet is fairly good, haven't tried it out fully yet but it's pretty nice so far, the Facebook app isn't as good as I expected though, you can't like things and you only see status updates.

The camera is fairly bad quality but it's good for quick snaps and has video too.

The music and radio are very nice, the sound quality is pretty good and the radio works great. 

With the texting and calling, everything is great apart from the keypad, you just get the small keypad on original phones and no QWERTY style one so it's a bit slow for typing.

Samsung Monte: wow

 got this phone 2 days ago. interface is quick, no lags. response is good. it's great all in all. compare to other touchcreen with the same price tag. for me this is the best in terms of UI and response. downside of this phone is the placement of the speakers and it wont go qwerty when you do a text massage or type an address at the address bar of the built-in browse.

Monte is good

I was looking for a touch phone with WIFI and GPS from a long time, I liked Nokia 5800 but it was around 14k (Indian rupee). Bingo! Monte was released. In reviews I din like its picture but in hand it was superb, the phone is overall good and looks good too, See I am not a critic at all but deeming to my likes and dislikes I was able to form some conclusions about my phone and‘ll like to share some: Usability : Good but not good for full time messaging freeks   Looks: pretty good, menus are good looking but most of them are useless (for me at least).Display is awesome. We‘ll get a good leather pouch, to hide phone’s fragility (hehe).   Widgets: we get a pretty decent set of widgets which can be danced over the desktop, widgets are very handy and useful but one thing, nothing related to Samsung none of the sites allow easy upload of pics from mobile.   and abt the desktop: you get three of them which ‘ll have three different wallpapers, that’s very good as you can hide your girlfriends pic in one desktop :) but I would have liken it more if it allowed a broad pic as wallpaper stretched across three desktops.   Camera : good, very good its a typical Samsung cam, good colors textures really good if light is correct, but at times a bit shaky , and night mode is also crisp so overall picturing is better than good in Monte   Video Cam: hmm this I din use to a broader extend but its really good till what I have known, I played it in system too, decent...

Movies are crisp   Applications : since our menu is not sufficient we ‘ll surely go for apps, so we have plenty of java apps which can be used, but here we cannot use our screen fully as the screen size is not standardized so some space is eaten by the console part, but still that is adjustable    Connectivity: only one word awesome superb WIFI, EDGE and range coverage, AGPS may not be that accurate as GPS but its still more than enough for use in a phone.     Battery: a high packed phone is useful only if its battery stays, 7 out of 10 for battery, sometimes it defy but ok   Sound: less than Sony phones but enough, music quality is good   Video player: only two formats supported .3gp and .mp3, here is the betrayal, I wanted to c movies in my phone but this doesn’t seem to support video files of high length, the biggest video I saw was of 46 mins I tried with three four movies of length 1:30 and above it said format not supported but I used Samsung software only to convert those.     one more thing you tube widget is really good and fast, I liked the twitter app also, my bro used the facebook app and he liked it.     so overall its a nice phone with a lil patching required please gmail me for any other queries id : feelthescintillation if I went wrong somewhere please point me I ll like to correct mylself J cheers…sij

hey guys, this phone is just excellent with all the things you need and at an affordable price too. It has some really good features and one of the best mobiles samsung has really produced with 3G, WI FI, and a really cool 3.2 mp camera and has a front censor also to enable video calling. So, overall its an excellent phone and worth penny, that will definitely suit your pocket.
