Samsung U900 Soul - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

Ok. so is the u900 worth having?
For many reason's i'd like to say no (the fact that its a samsung is the biggest) but over the last 4 years i have bought to end phones that have always disapointed. So i thought i'd give the soul a go as i have a 14day phone swap option if i don't like it.
The loudspeaker is terrible but the handset volume doesnt seem to be a problem for myself.
The functions and build qaulity of the soul are excellent, the camera is better then most digital camera's bought 2 yrs ago, and it has some very nice small touches added in. I have a 4gig card in mine so it also double's up as a walkman which i like. (most phone's ony support 2gig)
But you can't watch video's on it from your t.v????? Try buying a digital video camera. what you have in your hand is a phone not a camera just watch the video's on your p.c its not that difficult.
prob not the handset for everybody but definately worth considering, if your not wanting it for the loudspeaker or the ability to sit in your front room watching video's from your phone on you t.v. (isnt that why phones have colour screens nowerdays?)
Good luck finding the right handset.

samsung has to get the basic right before attempting doing anything fancy.

Volume is too low!!! Can't hear a word! Is this a bug? should i exchange this with another phone? any recommendations?

Got this phone as upgrade. Really hate this phone. Don't know if this is a bug but it turns itself off while being on the phone for 10 minutes.

No TV out so can't watch movie clip or picture i took on a trip.

I give this a 0 out of 1000. Thumbs down all the way..

I got this phone as a free upgrade, in many ways I prefer my old E900. The u900 is larger and bulkier. You cant turn off the predictive text permanently! Aghhh! The call volume isnt great but overall its a decent phone.

Considering sending it back and getting a new E900 though!

Hi, all... I recieved my phone last night from O2 UK they did not send me a memory stick (will call them)
But I promise other than that I dont find anything wrong with the phone..
To hear other calls is not as bad as I was expecting from all these reviews, just got to get the volume in the right position...
Try moving it down a little.

But the best phone I have had!!

Don't know why it is so difficult for Samsung to make loud phones. My 5 dollars pocket radio is louder than any samsung phones

Anyone tell me if this phones interface can handle the 4gb capacity? Or is it wise to stick to 2gb? I am debating which one to take

The results showed that Samsung U900 Soul's camera was really up to the task, producing better pictures than the N95 8GB on most occasions.

What can i say what a wonderfull phone, best samsung phone by far. The only drawback there is,is that the battery cover is a total pig to remove. You need a degree to remove it lol
