I REALLY want to buy a Samsung SOUL, but why is the metallic pink not available in South Africa? I really find the ONLY colour available here quite dull (sort of a bronze gunmetal)and a bit butch.

buttons are crap! you have to use your nail to press realy hard, after a while texting becomes quite painful.
This phone is very poor compared to any nokia or motorala.
The instructions are a joke they tell you very little about all the phones features, I emailed samsung to see if there was a more comprehensive instruction info available but they said no but did give me a premium rate nuber I could call to get any info I need! LOL yeh right!
Dont buy it!

Nice looking phone. Shame about futures also ring tones are very low, you can barely hear the phone ringing.Lcd goes off so no way to notice if you got sms or a missed call, you have to press a button to turn screen on. You can change the sound of buttons but not to the specific tones that each number has all make the same. Flash is powerful but can not be used as light. Key lock is either off or auto and turns on in just few seconds no way to choose or adjust the time for example after 2 minutes. Complex menu many futures are hidden where you will need hours to find them. Wallpapers and ringtones are very view and not good at all. On the plus points there is a reject list for phone numbers. And yes you can change message ringtone here is how.Go to settings then profiles then press options and choose edit. The screen shows "Normal" or what ever is the chosen profile under that the highlighted box "call alert type" if you press the right button it will change to message alert type from here you can change messages tone.

just received my u800 as upgrade from MotoK1. Am slightly disapointed with the lack of stuff pre loaded on the phone! My K1 came with tons of wallpapers ringtones etc to help you get started before learing how to upload your own.
Also the user interface is not nearly as user friendy as Nokia or motorola.
The instruction manual is not very extensive surprisingly when I read about all the phones functions! In fact a lot of very important stuff isnt even there such as how to copy contacts etc from your old SIM or phone! Whats that all about?
Ill try it for a couple of days but I can see me returning it within the 7 days for something a lot easier to use!
So far Im not a fan of samsung phones!

Nokia 6500 classic is a good choice, it is a Nokia-quality phone. But the battery's life with bluetooth is only 6-8 hours. I'm using the phone simple business time. I had a N50 before, but this phone very slow and with very-very small character on display. I think, nothing perfect... :)
Has anyone information about U800 battery's life?

Eitan, 29 Aug 2008Why would anyone go for this rather than the Nokia 6500 classic?? The classic is cheaper, has ... moreThe U800 is cheaper than the 6500c. I bought the U800 from Phones4u for £120. The 6500c is £139. So where did the extra £50 come from huh? Check all the price listings before you comment on this phone. I think it is an amazing phone. My phone didnt come with any faults? Samsung have really improved on their Mobile phones. Its worth buying.

Why would anyone go for this rather than the Nokia 6500 classic?? The classic is cheaper, has a Nokia firmware (easier to use than Samsung's firmware)! Just because the camera is slightly better. I've had a 6500c and have found no faults so why spend that extra £50 for a copy?

Wow!! did the designteam put a Nokia 6500 classic in a copying machine and then just changed the colour, and i thought the Chinese knock off companies were bad, this is the best Nokia knock of i have ever seen, really..

I've got a N6500 classic. I'm satisfied with it, but the battery is terrible (I use bluetooth).
What about this phone's battery?

The Ultimate style in a budget friendly phone. This phone rocks when it comes to features in this price tag. I cudnt find a better phone in my bbudget, not in Nokia & Sony Ericsson. :)
Only one complaint. Difficulty in reading messages in sunlight. Why Samsung? :(
