I forgot to mention the ring alert option. You can't have the option to vibrate and ring simulateously. It's one or the other or vibrate first before ring. It's so annoying. I can hardly hear the ring tones!

crap crap crap! Battery life is too short. I have to recharge everyday to make sureit's useable. Texting is a pain. It takes to long to turn on and initialise the phone book. I'm going back to nokia.

The Samsung E715 was made for T-Mobile. It's a dual band (900/1900) flip fold phone. It has a camera with a flash and zoom. But each time a picture is taken it makes a loud sound that cannot be turned off. The flash also acts as a flashlight and it useful at night when searching for your keys in the parking lot. The ringtones are only polyphonic. You cannot set the tones for text messaging. You can only set the tones for ringtones. It has a short battery life. It lacks features like MP3 and video. You can have it unlocked by entering codes that various web sites sell, but the unlock codes will only unlock the carrier codes. After you have successfully unlocked it and insert a different sim card it will work, but when you access the MMS feature it will rely on T-Mobile's MMS which is "TMobileWeb" (formerly T-Zones). Like all carrier unlocked phones, the phone will remain hard locked.

Its the worst phone I've ever used ! Its been 6 months since I've been using this phone
1)Phonebook takes ages to initialise if you switch on the phone.
2) Very very poor battery life - a day max !
3) The screen brightness has become low now
4) The camera click sound is very annoying
5) NO speaker phone
6) NO profiles

This phone is a waste of money !

I have a few problems with this phone. Firstly, it does sometimes freeze up, and takes too long to initialize my phonebook sometimes when I turn it on. The pictures it takes are poor. I've now had it for almost a year and a half, and it now just begins vibrating for no reason, out of the blue. It also won't make calls sometimes for me, and often I have to turn it on and off agin several times to get it to respond to anything. Maybe this should be expected... it is getting old, and these things don't last forever, but I was hoping mine would make it a little longer. I don't think I'll get this model again.

I have had this phone for a little over a year, about 4 months ago. Positives, good picture taking and email. Very small and easy to use. Picture quality was great till if faded.. Battery life is ok.I talk on it about 3 hrs a day and I have to charge it every nite. If I dont talk much then i can go about a day and a 1/2. Some negatives of the phone the color faded on the menu list and the pictures themselves. Also if its in my pocket and i sit down, the camera automatically turns on if the side camera button is pushed, it starts taken pictures on its own. If i am in a loud setting i can't hear the camera go off so i have had to erase many blank pictures. Also when I want the sound off there is no way to turn off the sound of the camera. Recently my picture taking will not work at all because when i turn on the camera all i get is pink and green tones.. i can't even take a picture at all now. I do think it was over priced.

I've had this phone for a few months and it replaced my Samsung V205. I had to get used to the texting on this phone, because if you press the camera button on the side by accident the phone will not respond to keystrokes. The screen is okay and is bright when you need it to be. Picture options are thrilling compared to the V205--it offters black and white, sepia, negative, embossed and sketched. It also has a nice flash enabled for the camera to take pictures in dark places. Also, if you hold the left volume button the flash will turn on and act as a flashlight.

The only problem I had with this phone was when I bought a cover from E-bay and changed it. When I changed the cover, the camera feature stopped working all together. I thought I might have hit a wire when I changed the cover, but when I replaced the original cover it magically started to work again.

I wouldn't reccomend this phone that highly because I personally believe it is overpriced, but overall it quite functional.

Great phone... the layout, screen and so on are really good. My problems with the phone are the camera.. it can be a bit 50/50... sometimes the pictures come out really well, and on other occasions its very blurry, also the video camera can stutter quite a bit. But overall.. good phone, great looks 3/5

Is there ANYWAY to make the T-zone button (center) a normal 'ok' button?? If I unlock the phone or purchase it without a branding of tmobile will it THEN function as a normal 'OK' button like other service providers or am I locked into this bull$hit sceme by tmobile with every phone I decide to purchase??

Samsung E715: Vibrant colors, good picture quality, cool features (like the built in flash light), plenty of ways to customize your phone, aesthetically pleasing overall, however, the downside of this phone is that the LCD screen colors fade dramatically after some time. I noticed this problem about 7-9 months into having this phone, and since I was still under warranty, I called Samsung to have a another phone sent to me. It's been 6 months since they've sent me my second phone and the problem's re-surfaced. I've talked to several other people with the same phone and the same problem.

design is good, features are extremely poor! No Mp3 or video!! Motorola v600 is a better choice

This is one of Samsungs best flip camera phones on the market, the camera has over 32 diff frames to shoot under. The Screen is of a nice size, txting is a little under done but it makes up for in e-mailing pictures and videos. The one thing I find a little difficult is the takeing the pictures and saving them to be your background saver. Any questions about phones please e-mail me.

Pro's: No dropped calls here in Florida, battery life is excellent. Cons: Outside in daylight, you can't see the cover image (time) and when opened you can't see anything either, it's all black but indoors it's perfect....The manual sucks, doesn't give nearly enough information on what and how to do certain things...

i've had this phone last year... this phone is the best i've ever had... the picture quality is almost like taking a picture from a normal camera. its small and light weight.. its very cute.. the reception is also good. the battery lasted 2 days straigh even after talking on the phone for awhile.. u also save money by transfering pictures through the infrared ray from the phone directly to ur computer... the vibration is very good that u could feel it in ur pocket. other phone, sometimes u cant.. i just wish it had the video camera.. i dont need the bluetooth much since i have DSL @ home. but wht i dont understand is that this phone has been out in the market for almost 1 & a half year but it has picture caller id.. but the latest one that came out... really good looking.. doesnt have that.. i was able to use it in my country, Bangladesh.. it has good signals.. overall both the samsung E715 is the best phone.. also the latest one is very nice E715..
