He loves it because it's from me

He loves it because I gave to him. And it occupies a warm place in his heart
BUT
It is also a functional device that he has come to depend on to make calls and send txts. Light, small and easy to use. All that is required.

Tougher than most

Bought this one month ago for work and leisure. Very pleased so far. Does everything I need it to and more. Calender reminder alarms very useful. The Samsung PC Studio software,(download from Samsung Website), is very useful to connect the phone to your PC, so you can type in phone numbers, set appointments, write texts, etc. without having to use phone keys, and backup to PC. Radio uses headphones as aerial and has very good quality sound.
Annoying that it connects to internet when middle button pressed in idle mode with no apparent way to change this setting. Manual very basic (download from Samsung Website), only telling you what the phone I capable of, without examples of how to do it and leaving much to the imagination for the novice. This is also the case with PC Studio. I needed to download settings from the Samsung website to enable Internet, email and MMS to work, although very easy, there was no mention of this in documentation. Camera basic but usable, but video very bad quality.
Once mastered though, a very good solid useful phone.

Blackberry Curve 8900

One of the best mobile phones I have owned. However be warned that the SimFree version is incapable of accepting downloads of Any Maps or GPS. However it is still best price as offered by Amazon.

great

Ignore all the other reviews this product does everything it is supposed to. John Glossop.

Not sure

I purchased the phone for an elderly relative to use. Unfortunately, it was not suitable. Also it was difficult to understand instructions. However, Gizmo themselves were a superb company to deal with - they tried very hard to help - but offered a full and quick refund when product was returned. I would certainly use this company again.

A REAL mobile phone, not a juke box....

After suffering for about 18 months with an LG touchscreen phone, I finally decided to go back to Nokia, and bought an unlocked Nokia 6303 Classic. Oh the relief - now I have a really good phone again, slim and light, with a simple and clear menu structure. Now I can find all the functions I need instead of having to wade through a complex system with a poor touchscreen inteface. It all works properly! Maybe the camera is not quite as good as the LG but, hey, I've got a perfectly good Sony camera for my pictures and videos. And I am now free from restricting contracts. I've got a sim-only deal which saves me the cost of the phone over 7 months. The future is bright.....

Bad quality product

I purchased the sciphone as a christmas present for a child,the touch screen stopped working after two days and it was not possible to operate the phone, I returned it and received a replacement, the touch screen was slow to respond and text and java language was chinese which could not be changed, when making a call there was a buzzing sound, looks like an iphone but don't be deceived, it is nothing like the standard of an iphone, complete waste of money!

mobile for elderly mum

Had to buy an easy to use and easy to see mobile for elderly mum.
Very little choice on offer for a reasonable price and this seemed to fit the bill.
Cannot state personally how good it is. She seems happy and it is only for emergency use should her landline fail. Delivered quickly.

Funky Fresh!

This is a great phone, everyting about it is peng - the looks, the feel nd all the functions. I recommend it

basic phone

is just a basic phone for calls and text msj's...good batery - up to 5 days . i don't like the keypad .

sciphone

I can only agree with previous reviews. The phone is basically OK for the price but the battery life is terrible, even if you don't use the phone all day it still needs charged by the end of the day. Vodafone cannot give internet settings for this phone so I have been unable to try the internet, any advice on internet settings would be appreciated.

Terrible Phone

Software flaws, limited apps, unresponsive touch screen.... this phone is truly awful!! So bad that I got rid of mine 3 weeks after purchase. I could have made a good wedge of money on Ebay for it but i couldn't even bring myself to sell it on to someone else so I sold it to Mazuma.


(Camera is great though!)

Excellent pocket computer and phone

This Maemo powered Nokia N900 is excellent. The web browser is superb, a proper web browser that does flash, so you can watch youtube. The browser works well on the screen with gestures to zoom in, like double tap. The camera is cool, 5 megapixels and it geotags the location you took your photo using the builtin GPS. Video is good quality too, I've since download Qik and can send videos live to the web. Mediaplayer is good, very good quality watching films, the builtin in speakers are loud and it has TV out to watch on a larger screen. Neat thing is that it has a built in FM transmitter, so listening to music in the car is easy using FM, the N900 even makes your car radio say Nokia on the radio!

It is has an application manager to download more apps, with Ovi shop to follow soon. All applications can be run at the same time, with proper multitasking. Plus as it is a computer, it comes with the x-terminal, so you can do geeky stuff. And of course it is a phone so not only can your get connected over WiFi, you can use 3g and make phone calls. The contact manager groups contacts for phone calls, Skype calls, SMS, instant messages, with a conversations application to view all conversations by contact, making it easy to track conversations, or start new ones.

In all in all, I highly recommend this smart phone.

Tough? I should say so!

I recently took a short excursion under the front of a VW driven by a blind woman, in my pockets were a touch screen business phone and my trusty JCB branded Sonim. Guess which one I used to call the ambulance? yup, the toughphone - the other one disintergrated along with my left leg. What a great bit of kit.
I feel confident that it will never let me down (unless I forget to charge it) the battery lasts longer than any phone I've ever owned, probably due to the lack power hungry functions that litter other phones. For me, this is the one, just what I always needed.
On the down side, the volume control could use a little finesse, it has Loud - Louder or Loudest and they all upset the nurses, still, you can't have everyhing and in this case - less IS more.

Good but GPRS not at all OK

I got the handset because I have two sim cards. Handset functions and every thing seems to be ok and pretty much staight forward however, the internet/GPRS is something else. A lot of complications apperently not reliable for internet. I would recommend the handset only for dual sim users and nothing for internet browsers on handset, its not a good idea

All one needs

As the saying now goes"It does what it says on the packet". It's a worthy successor to the 3300 series, very user friendly even for the technically illiterate.

Good buy!

This was a replacement for my sons stolen phone so it had to be a reasonable price but still pretty cool and able to hold plenty of music! It does all these things with ease. We had a bit of a problem getting a memory card to fit and only a sony M2 micro fitted we tried other makes of micro cards but none fitted and worked! Good service as it arrived before due date in perfect new order. Thank you

iphone

I bought this for my grandson and he is absolutely delighted with it.
We had a couple of minor issues - because the charger did not work and the iphone skin did not fit - but these were very quickly sorted out by JSM - who were a delight to deal with.

Very happy with the phone

Lightweight and small, but still easy to use. A good basic phone. I am new to Nokia (always had Motorola before) so there were a few new things to learn, but overall it was easy to pick up.

My only disappointment is that it doesn't beep to remind me if I've missed picking up a text or phone call as my previous phone used to do. (I've searched everywhere and can't find a setting for this on the phone).

The description of the phone said 'black' but when it arrived it was blue!!
