CNET.co.uk judgement:
Samsung's Z400 is a compact and light 3G phone with video calling capabilities. It's only really useful, though, if you like making video calls or browsing the Web over a 3G connection. The 2-megapixel camera feels poor against camera phones like the Sony Ericsson K800i, which features a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. The keypad is lacklustre, too -- it feels awkward to use due to its layout. This is one of Samsung's best 3G phones, but it's not as inspiring as we would like it to be

The Z400 combines Samsung's trusty slider design with 3G connectivity and video calling. It's the 3G phone of champions, according to an ad campaign featuring players from Chelsea FC, but is it the 3G phone for you?
