It’s light, it’s practical, it’s sleek, it’s user-friendly, and it’s shiny.
This review is for Samsung Jét s8000, not s8003.
Well, what I have to say is well illustrated by how this "review" begins. The Jét s8000 is´nt even present in the list above. In all fairness, I don´t know what difference there is between the S8000 and the S8003.
However, the phone per se is quite ok for all intents and purposes. It has more than the average user needs and it works well. The screen is very good with a very good sharpness. Its inbuilt GPS works well and so do the other inbuilt functions.
Review: ireyan weber looks at the Samsung Corby S3653
Submitted by ireyan weber on Sat, 2010-02-20 10:40I’ve had my Corby for about 4 months now, and I must say, I like it as much now as the day I got it. The Corby comes with a TFT capacitive touchscreen that, in my opinion, is quite impressive. The only time the screen doesn’t work as expected is if your hands or fingers are slightly damp (from perspiration or water) and you use the screen. It goes a bit ballistic, making actions you didn’t expect.
But apart from that, I’ve had no problems with it. The “Smart Unlock” function on the phone is fun in the beginning but eventually you get tired of all the “Incorrect Characters” you see when trying to draw the character that unlocks the screen.
A bit of a gimmick that will soon have you using the button on the side of the phone to unlock your screen.
I’d call this a Marmite phone, it will take getting used to but you either love it or you… don’t.

Submitted by thepianoman on Tue, 2010-02-09 14:57This phone is the new E250! Light, cheap, feature-packed, this phone is going down in history!
This phone will always be one of my favourite phones of all time!
Review: christoffkoekemoer looks at the Samsung J700
Submitted by christoffkoekemoer on Sat, 2010-01-23 12:41I would just like to say, that I use to be a die hard fan of another cell phone brand, but since I got the J700, I have been very impressed. Even though I cannot choose a down loaded song for my message tone, I think this is a brilliant phone.
I got this phone about a year ago and still enjoy the features I bought the phone for (ie. GPS etc). Regardless of a square screen and tiny buttons (which works wonderfully once you're used to them) the phone looks and feel very solid.
Billed as a Business Phone, you can use it for video playback, music and YouTube browsing without hassle.
The Garmin GPS works like a charm even if it does have some issues getting a signal now and then.
Very Nice phone, user friendly. Easy to operate and understand. Not a very good battery life to support using it for a long time. Quick and easy to read and reply on emails but can't openor download PDF docs directly from my email. Have to save PDF docs with to memory card via pc first before I can open it on phone.
I have just received my upgrade phone, the Samsung I8910HD. This is therefore a first impressions Review!
Firstly it's larger than any other phone I have owned, understandably because of the excellent 3.7 inch AMOLED screen. The screen is very responsive and beautiful indoors. Unfortunately outdoors the legibility isn't as good as I had expected especially since my last phone was the N95.
