I have this phone, from 2005 October....now it's 2009 June, and it still works great...it's a good phone, the only problem is the battery, I have to charge it almost every night...I'm astonished how good is, and I drop it several times from mistake. who bought this phone in 2005, it was probably the best choice!!!I wanted to buy an another phone, but I changed my mind, because if it works another 5 years from now, I'll keep it until than! it worth it!!!

I saw E730 in an Indian Shop at Maseru on the 17th September 2006.I decided to sell my X660 which was still new then, so as to have a boost. I put it on lay on the 18th but could not wait holding it!I went to collect it on the 20th September.
I have never had such an xperience with a phone.Since i bought it, it has never given me any problem though i have dropped it several times, just worried that i may not find its battery when need arises because i have never seen anyone else with a similar phone.

I have owned my e730 since Feb '05 and this phone simply rocks. I have dropped it numerous times (sidewalks, tile floor, etc) & it still hasn't failed on me. Phone call quality is great, speakerphone is good & you can create your own mp3 ringtones for it.

Outside & inside screens are independently customizable, the *#8999 code works for further sound customizing & the clock on the outside screen is always on. This is a great, durable phone with alot of simple fun packed into it (T9, easy MMS, FM radio, easy to open with one hand, good self-portrait external screen). I can't comment on the speed of internet access since I actually use internet at home (which is faster than any phone on GSM networks anyway).

2 suggestions to complement this phone: For 20 USD u can purchase a Bluetooth dongle that can be found on ebay (to upload/download pics, customized mp3 ringtones, .gif files for wallpapers), and a bluetooth earpiece (i have Jabra JT125, works GREAT)

For the price of this phone, its capabilities, and the fact that its a flip phone (not too many durable flip-phones out there anymore, mostly sliders & bars) this is a great buy.

The code is *#8999*8378#

As u type it in, it will appear on ur screen as *#8999*----- When u hit the last key, the hidden menu will automatically appear. Unfortunately, i don't have the link to show how to adjust the settings but i'm sure a simple google search will take care of that.

I just bought this phone second hand for £20 unlocked.
It's really good. The camera is brilliant for 1.3mp and apart from a bit of wear and tear it's an all round good handset. Shame Samsung don't make them like they used to, simple but sturdy!!

i've been using this phone for quite some time and i do like it a lot!
i like the camera, the pictures are awesome for a 1.3MP camera.
the radio works fine, the mp3 sound is clear.
the display screen, although it is small, but the pictures are sharp.
eventhough theres no memory card attached, the internal memory storage space is good enuff for me.
the battery longs at most 3 days.
it has fallen for quite a few times but i'ver never send it to repair bcz there seems to be no problem.
i love this phone.
the only reason i'm not using it now is because of my carelessness, the phone went inside the water pipeline and its untraceable. :(

I've had this phone since december 2005, it's just great, small, fast, rubber feel is awesom..

I tweaked the sound and other settings, just for fun 'cause, I had no previous complains/regrets though..

I've dropped it a few times, nothing happened, though I broke battery's tiny hooks when I was removing it to put another SIM.

Does anyone know where I can buy a new battery?

thanks.

I have been using this phone for 3 years and was totally satisfied. It has great shape. I believe it is one of the best phones of Samsung

> In reply to sossa @ 2008-09-20 20:46 from SuD4to sossa, with regards to downloading items, just use purchase a bluetooth adapter (i use one by a brand called Nexxt Solutions but i figure any one should do). I got an adapter mainly because the data cable that came with mine never worked for me.

And I have to say, outside of things like no memory card, low sound volume (one of my constant issues with Samsung. i had to tweak with mine to get it to play ringtones louder) and maybe not having a better music player function, this phone ranks SO high when it comes to user-friendliness and ease of use.

Next year will make it three years I've had it and I can't complain much at all. It's fallen so many times and still works well (and I don't even have the one with the rubber finish), nice and light-weight yet attractive. I think I'll be sad when I finally part with it, lol (finding a more up-to-date substitute is hard).

All in all, if you can live with the short-comings, it is a very good buy for someone looking for a sleek but simple camera phone.

I used this model for more than 3 years until it was stolen in SM City Taytay. I can say it was a very nice phone. I had no plan yet of replacing it until that incident. I now use M620 also from samsung.
