What is it: 8-megapixel camera phone with touchscreen
What we think: Its high-end camera takes excellent photos, but the Pixon's touchscreen is less impressive

"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Camera is really good + GPS works GREAT if you download free Gmaps
What I don't like:
New Samsung Studio - worst piece of software I have ever seen!
Review:
I totally agree with jewie404 above. DON'T what ever you do try to use it with outlook - duplicated entries are inevitable.
New PC studio is the worst software I have ever seen - I trusted Samsung as my previous U600 used PC Studio which is a solid and good product. What idiot in Samsung decided to write a new version and give it such a catchy new name? There has been virtually no improvement since its release in November 08 - I guess that this is a dead end product and that there will be no improvement. Use New PC Studio with Outlook at your own risk!
re GPS - I can confirm that the Orange and Google maps are rubbish as they give your location to 500mtr. Orange has the nerve to charge for this!
HOWEVER, Mobile Gmaps is free and does give accurate locations!
Overall - I bought this phone under advice from Orange to integrate with Outlook - New PC Studio has been a disastrous step for Samsung, and their lack of effort in correcting its serious flaws, is more than disappointing - I will find it hard to trust them again.....

Latest Mobile phone Reviews
BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
