Samsung E770 user reviews

N Hall 23 November 2007

Good: Size, durability, expandable memory, external Mp3/camera/torch controls

Bad: The camera quality isn't as good as my previous phone.

Comment: I really like clamshell phones. The screen is less likely to get scratched, and your much less likely to call or text people when you don't want to because there is no problem of keypad lock, and of course hanging up and answering the phone by just flipping it open or closed never gets old!

Previous to this phone I had a Sony Ericsson K700i, which I liked best for the camera. However the quality of the camera did seem to demiish over time as it got dirty scratched from being carried around. The back of the phone got dented and the screen scratched. Also I didn't like the joystick as if you accidently pressed in it connected you to the internet. But enough of that phone, back to the one I'm reviewing.

One of the first things I noticed about the phone is that it feels light but durable. When you flip it open and shut you don't feel like it's going to snap.

Another positive is that the buttons on the outside which can turn on the camera, torch, spoken clock and mp3 player can be locked so they aren't set off in your bag, but also conveniently you don't have to open the phone to unlock them.

VibeTonz is good, but I don't think it can be used with your own mp3 songs. The same goes with alarm tones, which cannot be set to mps tracks.

The camera is good, but not as good as that on the K700i

The phone itself doesn't have much memory for MP3 but the ability to fit it with a MicroSD card overcomes this problem very simply.

I think this phone is great as it has lasted me the length of my 18 month contract with no problems (the only problem i've noticed is when I go abroad my text meassges change order!), unlike many of my friends phones. The popular Motorola Razr which many people I know have, breaks much easier. In fact in the time I've had my phone one of my friends has gone through 3 Razrs. All in all I am impressed with this phone, for clamshells usually have the problem of easily breaking, and this has not even come close to doing so.

I will probably get a new phone soon because I shall be getting a new contract but if it is as good as this phone then I will be very happy.
