Samsung U700 review: Ultra fit
Brilliant QVGA display, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, memory card and many other functions in a fashionably slim shape. Samsung U700, a.k.a Samsung Ultra 12.1, is one of the four slim models in the Ultra Edition II Series. The number indication 12.1 refers to the body thickness in millimeters. The U700 model is the slimmest slider ever to support high-speed data transfers over HSDPA.

The SAMSUNG U700 must be the worst phone ever made in the whole world!
DO not buy this phone yaou will forever regret it.....!!!! I am warning you!!!
When I first saw the phone it loocked perfect, very slim and posh, but after less than 3 months the phone loocked crap, totally POS.
The pain starts to come off it looks like we have been scraping the sides off with a knife, but we I've only had it in my pocket.
SAMSUNG service said that it was due to wear and tear!!! are they totally crazy! do they even know what they are talking about!?
UNBELIEVABLE, do not buy this phone. I definately will never ever buy a SAMSUNG again.!!!!!

The samsung U700 has got to be one of the worst phones made. While it looks sleek and sexy at the start, within 3 months the chrome finish rubs off exposing the cheap, white plastic underneath. I wish I could show you my phone because it honestly looks like someone has got to it with a paint scraper. The customer service lady explained to me that this problem often occurs with the U700's all the time, how's that for great customer service. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it was going to look someone had scraped of the paint.

I'm having the same problem as Caroline McGlade. I need to delete one of the numbers that's in my 'add recipient' list when sending a text message.
Deleting the number from the contacts list still keeps the number in the 'add recipient' list but it just appears as a number and not a name.
Please help!

worst cell phone ever....
the suplied earphones are really lousy... could harldy hear anything and since the jack is not standard I had to go through hell to get the spare ones...
the mask peel off(I guess they find it normal)
the slide mechanism is pretty lousy, and in less then 8 months, the round buttons stoped responding.
I now decided not to use another samsung ever again. this is the biggest disappointment (and I was a big fan of D500).

2) It will bring up a menu:
[1] Load Params
[2] Dump Params
[3] Call Config
3) Press Back, and it will bring up another longer menu
4) Key in 3 to bring up SPK Config Menu
5) Then key in 4 to bring up AV-QTune(MP3) menu
6) Key in 1 to bring up SPK MP3 Vol. menu
7) Key in 6 to change the max. volume
8) Input 40 and press OK, it will change to 4.0db default max. volume is -3db. I wouldn't recommend higher than 6.0db because the sound will distort, anything lower will be fine.
9) Once done, press cancel to close the service menu and try to play a mp3 with max. volume. This volume apply for your MP3 Ringtones and Message tones.
Note: If you restart your phone, your settings will be changed to default.

When you do like the guy told: you know with the whole profile thing! The problem is that you canīt take your tones that you downloaded (and yes they are mp3)

I have my u700 more than a month now, and i think its the best.
If you get annoyed with touch screen, then i suggest u shouldnt buy it, but i dont think its too sensitve as other people say. They memory isnt that gr8, but once u buy a memory card, it is awesome. The musicplayer is very good, and the volume can go very high as well. I recommend this phone for all the people who like touch screen and who like a slide samsung phone!! Its my favorite phone!
