Aimee, i agree with you. Ive had this phone for over a year and i just love it. Its my first phone away from having a Nokia. As much as i love Nokias, this phone is awesome too. Im from Australia and i have no probs with reception or call cutting.

I've had this phone for about 7 months and have absolutely no clue where the "bad reception", "sudden cut off", "bad battery life" is coming from!

This is a really great phone - I have the Anycall asian languages version - so don't be put off by the negative reviews!

Just letting you guys that have just bought this phone, when you are typing a message, you cant seem to get all the digits like the ' and " buttons. Well when you type a message and want to insert these characters, hold down the # key and all the characters come up.

About bad signal, reception and voice mail.. ETC.. If you use your brains you'll come to the conclusion that NOT the phone BUT your service provider is responsible for that. Yes REALLY. You people annoy me soooo much.

About the stupid question (no offence) about "not being able to save numbers to sim".. DAH! Of course you can save them to sim after typing the number the phone asks you where you want to save them whether to phone or to sim.. Are you blind?! I hate people that keep telling that something is wrong with the phone just because they are so dull and blind to adjust it.

Don't bother. Is the smartest looking phone I have ever had. Was in love with it but the battery life is useless and you loose reception as a result. I have found all Samsung phones (have got an e370 now) have really bad sound quality and you cannot hear anyone.

I have loved using my E530, but have just upgraded after a year. Only problem is I can't save numbers to sim card and hate the thought of typing them in again one by one - any answers?

got this phone as a xmas gift... it's actually great.. don't look for a USB cable 'coz it's sold separately.. just buy a bluetooth dangle.. this phone is easy to use.. got lots of things in it.. transfering of file from mobile phone to pc is a lot faster than any other phones... highly recomended by yours truely...

Thing is I think it's an awesome phone and the memory, video and camera is great. The only problem is that I have really bad signal problems. I'm always getting kicked out of mxit and whenever I try downloading stuff it fails. My GPRS and everything is perfect it's just the phone that struggles with that stuff as well as signal. Is there anyway to fix this? Oh and sometimes my phone doesn't ring it goes straight to voicemail even if I don't divert calls. It's on it's own mission LOL
