Don't judge the book by its cover

Dec 3, 2008

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: Looks great, stylist and big screen
Cons: Touch screen not sensitve and slow in responding, cannot cancel call as short cut key always jam
Opinion:
Very bad phone. It is 1 of the worst Samsung phone I ever have. The touch screen is so insensitive and slow in respond. During sms, every word that you press came out at least 0.5-1sec slower and made smsthe most frustrating experience when using this phone. When trying to cancel a call after talking by pressing the shortcut key button, 7 out of 10 times will not respond and got to turn off the phone in order to cut the line. Send for repair twice and still the same problem happening again. I think its Samsung poor quality interface, software and being the 1st touch screen, looks like I am one of those genea pig to use this silly phone

 

Samsung SGH-F700

Jun 10, 2008

Rating: 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, 2008

Rating: 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

Apr 22, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
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

 

This is NOT a USER REVIEW

Apr 5, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: It looks and sounds great
Cons: I can't actually USE it yet in Seoul
Opinion:
It would be nice if people who do not own and use this phone would not post there "reviews" in this section for USER REVIEWS. Why not post your comments in the DISCUSS SECTION where I would have posted this non-review if I believed that people would see it there. Since I am REQUIRED to give a rating to this phone, I am going to give it a big fat 10! This will not skew the ratings in any way whatsoever since it appears that most of the people submitting ratings have never actually touched the phone and the ratings are already unreliable.
