Samsung SGH-F700
CNET Asia Review
Good
The good: HSDPA; Bluetooth stereo; 3.5mm audio jack; microSD expansion card slot; handy keylock button; vibrating haptic feedback. 6
out of 10View score
The bad: Lack of tactility on keyboard; Croix UI a letdown; doesn't sync properly with Microsoft Outlook.
The bottom line: While the F700 has a decent list of specifications, it is crippled by the choice of software used. Put simply, there are better alternatives out there.

Samsung SGH-F700
Jun 10, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 3.6 HSDPA & Full internet browsing & Multimedia display
Cons: No Wi-Fi but again my needs is a phone and in that sence it is excellent value
Opinion:
Got mine on a handset upgrade package. Great improvement on my old Samsung E250 that I used just on 2yrs. But again the F700 fullfill my needs. Might not be up to scratch with high tech guys.
One Look Kills
Apr 23, 2008Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: the style of the phone, 3.0 Mp autofocus, really nice design, the Croix system
Cons: the Croix system, Wi-fi dont exist in such a stylish phone, oh its just a phone not PDA
Opinion:
Well when I my eyes first say this before the official launch this phone was like .. WOW A I PHONE killer.. then again when my hands first touch it, what a superb letdown, its really fasinating, the big screen the croix technology, the powerful vibration, lots of poking and jabbing on the screen later, found out that this phone is .. just a phone.. it can't do much, I kept thinking to myself.. this phone has wifi, dont know why but hey I would still give credit for its 3mp auto focus camera, its really well designed qwerty keypad and its really really big screen and thickness.
It should have thrown in the wifi, would have traded in my Dopod for it. I used this F700 for half a day, not really up to my expectation, but hey.. look on the bright side.. its not really expensive, only $298 with line and $698 for retail. get it ... Read more
looks can be deceiving

Pros: great looks... big screen
Cons: less than impressive under the hood
Opinion:
Ive bought mine in Changi aiport and since I saw this initial reviews of this phone on cnetasia and youtube I have been waiting for a phone my treo 650 which Ive had for 2.5 years. And probably in my excitement of finding this phone on the market I took a leap of faith hoping that it would meet all my expectations.
Its certainly a head turner and if looks were your main criterion (plus touchcreen and querty keyboard) then this would be the phone for you. However, comming off a palm OS, I find the phone a bit lacking in the intuitive dept. While I could cut, paste, move and access information with ease on the palm, I find the the F-700 frustrating at first and just simply disapointing as I went along. Its just simply not user friendly enough to call itself a smart phone.
Call quality is okay, nothing fancy but Im very much missing ... Read more
