We like:
Design; good battery life; excellent range of features
We don't like:
Average music player; camera lacks autofocus
Also known as:
Samsung SGH-U800
CNET UK judgement:
The U800 looks clean and modern, is easy to use and has a good range of features. As well as supporting HSDPA for fast downloads, it has dual cameras with realistic colour reproduction. If you were hankering after a Nokia 6500 Classic, we'd seriously recommend you examine this one first

You can pick it up for free on a £30 contract with O2 or it'll set you back around £140 as a pay as you go. Continue Reading...
