User Reviews & Recommendations

HALF-MEASURE (Justin, Australia)

User Rating:

No autofocus, video recording in the old QVGA 15fps, and all the touch keys models from samsung are such a pain to use...

all i ever wanted (Camille, Montreal, QC)

User Rating:

it is all I need great display and audio support (clap) samsung

OS launch? (Angela, Bournemouth, UK)

User Rating:

This looks like the first phone using Samsung's award winning Croix UI design. I wonder why Samsung does not put an OS (symbian/windows) in these phones.
