Reviewed by dasser on 20/06/2008its a very sexy good loking phone with its sexy aqua blue lcds and cool ringtones its tiy and sexy, but after 3 years the screen has gone blank sstill it will be one of the top models of samsung's history like t100. Rating: Reviewed by Hanna on 01/04/2008 The phone is nice, butlooses battery very quickly. You cannot replace the battery easily, for while the fact that the battery doubles as the back of the phone, it makes it very hardto disatatch it from the phone. Rating: Reviewed by Christine Freeman on 29/03/2008 Im happy with the phone but were can i obtain a new samsung battery Rating: Reviewed by John on 05/03/2008 i bought this phone for my daughter, Enily but she accident;ly droped it and it snapped in half Rating: Reviewed by AYESHA on 05/01/2008 this phne is really good. Rating: Reviewed by lakaki on 23/09/2007 this is a CLASSY phone...who needs colour when this is there...even after using many other phones which have a range of features, the samsung A800 still attracts me...small, slick and one of the best ive seen so far...absolutely love this phone...the blue screen is awesome...the dual screen brilliant and overall..it cudnt have been better!!! Rating: Reviewed by alun on 08/07/2007 i have thins phone and its been droped 100's of times its been trud on thrown around rooms and its still going, a tough little phone Rating: Reviewed by Junelle on 20/06/2007 We are in June 2007,I have had this phone since 2003. Never thought of changing it yet.Really cute and chic, however the incoming ringing tone volume is not loud enough for me. Rating: Reviewed by kelly on 29/05/2007 i have this phone for ages and my mum had one too Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 24/04/2007 I used to have this phone and i thought that it was exellent Rating: Reviewed by ClevTrev on 04/02/2007 I have 2 Samsung products and they are now both US. My Samsung TV emits a loud high-pitched noise after 20 minutes which drives me up the wall. My Samsung A800 mobile's screen no longer works, effectively making it useless. Well done Samsung. Rating: Reviewed by david on 14/01/2007 love the phone but it is on virgin mobile would love to change it to orange from my little one who loves it more than has it is a small phone any view on how to change it please contact me email at dagodai@aol.com many thanks 5 stars for this phone Rating: Reviewed by Kash Mahmood on 06/01/2007 After My experience with buying a Samsung washing machine for £600 and it developing a major fault on the logic baord (non-wearable part) just outside its warranty period and Samsungs accpetance that 'this should not happen, but tough luck' I would urge any one who is considering purchasing Samsung to re-consider. Products are only good if the service provided when things go wrong is first class. Samsung are second rate. Rating: Reviewed by chris cooper on 04/01/2007 i like this phone because of it light weght and sexy lookand also its wap etc are also good.wheen i first got it i had 16.00 pounds on in credit and i found it very easy to down load ringtonnes. Rating: Reviewed by Catherine on 30/09/2006 I got this phone 3 days ago as a sim-free clearance deal for £40. I think it's second-hand, but the only problem I've come across is the left scroll-key - I have to press it harder than the others to make it work. The site I got it from did warn about this sort of thing so it's not too much of a problem. This phone is ideal for someone like me who just uses their phone occasionally and doesn't want all the latest features, but wants something small and stylish. The reception is crystal clear and the phone charges super-fast, even when I leave it on when it's charging. But if you use your phone a lot, I wouldn't recommend it cos the battery doesn't last long. What I was looking for as a replacement for my Nokia 'weighs a ton' 3310 was a small, flip type, simple and stylish non-camera phone - and the A800 is just that. However, if you want from your mobile: a 262K colour screen, MP3 player and MP3 ringtones, 3G, 3MP camera with video recorder, bluetooth, infrared, MMS etc. - don't consider the A800 but start thinking about what a phone is really for! Rating: Reviewed by none of ur bussines! on 05/09/2006 It was a good phone when it came out but I would not recomend anyone to buy it now. the battery life time is extremely short and it is black and white, no camera... so if what you want is a high-tech phone this is not the right one for you. However if you just want a very stylish phone that has all the basics- voice dial games etc then this is the perfect one for you. It is a good phone but some people may just want something more modern. Rating: Reviewed by > on 11-03-2006 I have had many of the problems discussed here too. I thought it was just my phone but apparently not! It turns itself off randomly after sending messages, copies messages, claims to have a full inbox when theres only about 20 messages in there and loads of other things. The customer service was unacceptable, as my phone started to go wrong about 2 months after getting it. This phone cost me nearly £150, and other cheaper phones i have had have been much better. My advice - Don't bother! Rating: Reviewed by Mel on 20-02-2006 not very good-cant put on just silent-it has to vibrate. cant ring and vibrate at the same time- has to be on vibrate or on ringtune. cant stop tune from playing when phone turned on. even after network is found when phone has just been turned on you cant use shortcuts until about 3/4 minutes later. not really happy with it overall. Rating: Reviewed by tehe on 15-08-2005 I got rid of this phone about a year ago. My mum's phone died so i gave it to her. A year on it is still going and have had no prob at all with it since the day it was bought. It must be 5 times more reliable than my motorola v80 that must crash and freeze once a week, infact today a was texting on it and the colur screen disappeared and became blue. The reception is good also because even though it is a dualband phone when we went to France there was still quite a good signal! Rating: Reviewed by D on 09-07-2005 I purchased this phone in May 2003, since then it has not failed to disappoint and has not diminished in its quality at all. if you want a simple phone and you are not worried about colour screen, camera, video;etc- this is the phone for you. this is the most reliable phone i have ever purchased!! it has not failed to disappoint with an excellent baattery life. And lastly, the looks...this phone is just beautiful and simple!! When I first got this phone everyone was jealous of me, not it is a little old but still eprforms better than my sisters newisn Motorola V600 which just can't perform with high usage!! the fact that i can still give this phone 5 stars after over 2 years says a lot and highlights its reliability and consistency! Rating: Reviewed by hibee on 07-07-2005 this phone is alwrite...... if you just want somthing that you can use as a phone. No colour screen no camara only 3 games and dos'nt have loud speaker. Still reacomended. Rating: Reviewed by Brt on 02-06-2005 Very good phone. Have it just less than half a day, and nearly always had a Nokia. This one is very easy and complete! Rating: Reviewed by Alisha on 20-04-2005 I think it's a great phone and i've had it since last Summer, i've ad no probs my friend even broke her fone to get the same one as me all the boys think it's amazing now they think i'm amazing if u dont have the Samsung A800 get it NOW Rating: Reviewed by Amy on 03-03-2005 This found is gr8 4 simple people who just want a phone that will do all the things a phone should do. It is simple to use, compact and has a cool Light that flashes on the front. But now it is being taken over by much more modern camera phones and i find it lacks a lot of technology. It also hasnt got a colour screen! This is not one of Samsungs best phones. I think i would advise people who like to take pride in their phones, to buy a more updated version. Rating: Reviewed by Susie on 15-01-2005 The phone would be ok if it wasn't for 2 things. 1) The battery is a joke and only lasts for a day. 2) The phone turns itself off occasionally, especially after you have sent a message. Am getting rid of it - is driving me nuts having to charge all the time! Rating: Reviewed by chupa on 13-01-2005 even it's a small, cute and sofisticated phone, it has its idsadvantage: no COPY ALL between SIM and phons memory, no DELETE ALL fom any of this two, the battery life duration is max. 3 days in stand-by, the sound (even if is great like 'sound') cannot be heard in open spaces. I've got my A800 two month ago, and i am looking to sell. Pitty, 'cause it would be a GREAT phone if this probs. would be remediated.. and the price, please, 200$?!? Rating: Reviewed by Caglar on 05-11-2004 A discusting phone do NOT buy it. Mine broke after 8 months and it is 5th time I take it back to authorized repair center for the same problem of not hearing the other party while talking to me and they can not repair it. I am in Turkey. The authorized service center is Basari Elektronik. STAY AWAY ! ! ! Rating: Reviewed by SATONURN on 02-11-2004 THIS PHONE IS A PIECE OF JUNK,AFTER MY FIRST ONE FAILING TO DO ANYTHING AFTER 4 MTHS USE, MY REPLACEMENT PHONE PACKED UP AFTER JUST 3HRS CHARGING,AND THE HELP LINE IS A WASTE OF SPACE ALL THEY DO IS PUT YOU ON HOLD I'M NOT WASTING ANY MORE TIME WITH THIS PHONE GOODBYE! Rating: Reviewed by Leonardo on 27-10-2004 Nice design. Good software. Maybe a silent startup and shutdown would be MUCH better on this mobile. Tools are well made and handy. The bad thing definitely is online battery time. I must charge it every night or I'm in trouble with lack of charge in the next day. I had no problems with main and external LCD screens or lights so far (as some users have already experienced). A wireless data communication support would fit well for such a phone too. 4 stars only. Rating: Reviewed by Stefaan on 30-09-2004 A worthless phone, I'd give it a 0 if possible. The software is incredibly buggy, even after sending it to Samsung to flash it (and their customer service is absolutely worthless). Randomly deletes messages, moves em, copies em, anything besides what you want. It's impossible to avoid it making a load of noise when turning it on. Randomly crashes. The sim card comes loose regularly for no aparent reason. Interface is slow and unlogic in many areas. If your inbox is full, the phone does not warn you if theres a message waiting, it waits until you've made space to tell you theres a new message. Having a decent conversation on it is impossible, the phone echos everything and its much too silent at top volume. T9 is turned on every single time you have to enter something, if you turn it off its on again the next time. Ringtones and message received tones are terrible. STAY AWAY!!! Rating: Reviewed by abdalla on 30-09-2004 i just want to say that it agreat phone but it does not have a infra red device and it is the only thing ther phone needs] Rating: Reviewed by James on 20-07-2004 I got this phone about a year ago. It has been excellent until a few days ago when the external display dissappeared. Also, if you make lots of movement, it is easy for the sim card to come free. It is very reliable. The only let-down is that using wap is very expensive. If you need a phone to use every day, then this is the phone for you! Rating: Reviewed by Jess on 13-07-2004 can anyone help me! iv had this phone for about 9months & my screen is starting to play up. the external display goes all funny and also sometimes when i open the phone the colours are the wrong way round. so wat should be black is white and wat is usualy white is black! its really annoying and also the lines of text go all funny! but only when it feels like it i took it back to the shop and they basically said its wear and tear and theres nothing that can be done! if any one can help me please get in touch my email is j_e_s_s_8701@hotmail.com thanks Rating: Reviewed by Judith on 07-06-2004 I have had mine for almost 1 year and it is the most eye-catching phone ever. Its features are superb and it is a hardy insturment. I would never change mine for any other. Rating: Reviewed by cheryl on 11-04-2004 I got this phone a week ago and i really like it its easy to use when you work out what buttons do what.Txting is easy you can have predictive txt on/off i prefer without. I still like this phone its value for money i got it for 99.95 from argos as it was on special offer.I didn't think i'd like this phone as i really wanted a camera phone but i was fed up of lookin for one that suited me and ive herd that a few av problems wif them.This phone is great even though it hasn't got a colour screen the blue backlight is fab!! The ringtones r ok most of them are classical tones but ive downloaded a few and they sound great you can download them from www.cbfmobile.com u luk 4 ya tone then get the code and use ya WAP on ya fone to download the tone it didn't cost me anything as i have the o2 simcard where you get 300free txts and 300 free WAP mins if you top up B#10 every month.This phone is really light looks cool and is just really good im still working out new stuff on it now. If anyone is considering getting this phone i would definately tell ya to get it its fab!!! Rating: Reviewed by Andy on 09-04-2004 A poor mobile,The battery life is nothing short of a joke. The joint of the clam shell is coming loose and the signal is extremely bad( I now it depends on the area u r in,but i compared it with my brothers,and his was a GOOD reception!,I even ended up having to use his phone to make a call !!). And the good points about it....Errmmm....There aint any! Rating: Reviewed by becca on 07-03-2004 this phone was perfect for almost a year and then it just stopped. it wouldn't turn on apart from flashing at me and then nothing... I sent it back and they told me that it cannot be repaired. The same thing happened to my friend, and her and another friend both had previously had theirs repaired because the light kept switching off when they were txting. it is a good phone as long as it doesnt jus break on you.. design fault? Rating: Reviewed by Kate on 03-02-2004 Don\'t even bother. I got the phone back again today after it was sent off to be repaired for the third time. Everything has broken with it, from the LCD screen not lighting up, not receiving any signal, side button getting jammed, to wap not working and text messages not sending. I really wouldn\'t bother. I couldn\'t get on the Samsung Fun Club website (despite having detailed emails to and from one of the \'enginneers\' at the site, who have now just ignored the whole issue). You can never find good polyphonic tones to download. The battery life is awful and I have got to the point after 8months of owning it to having to charge it overnight every night JUST to have enough battery to send txts. Thoroughly fed up with it, would rather have a one legged pigeon. Rating: Reviewed by UNHAPPY customer on 06-01-2004 After getting the phone for less than 3 months, the light on the LCD screen is not working. I send down for repair and the sales girl asked me to wait for 2 weeks! I asked her why it take so long and she show me a long list of customers waiting for the same spare part! Always hang and then auto delete all the phone nos that store in the phone memory. Get tired of having to deleted every single outgoing messages one by one! After you reset the alarm system, it still ring. Even the girl working in their repair shop told me she had the same problem too. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! Rating: Reviewed by saloo_reloaded on 18-12-2003 Bear in mind the following before getting this one. I used it for a few months before returning it: 1. The ear phone volume is too low!. Even on full volume, you may have difficulty hearing from the other side (especially if u r at a noisy surrounding!) 2. The ringer (incoming call alert) and vibrator does not function at the same time!!! 3. Issues with battery life! Write to saloo_reloaded@yahoo.co.uk if u have the same problems! Rating: Reviewed by Mark on 04-11-2003 This is a thoroughly good phone, even if its menu system isn\'t as well thought out as the likes of Nokia. It\'s fun to use, has good loud ring tones and works perfectly well but three niggles: 1) If you pause for too long while writing a text message the phone will delete the entire message and take you back to the main menu. 2) The menus can be a bit slow, almost as if the processor isn\'t fast enough for the software that the phone uses. 3) Battery life is dire for a modern phone. Rating: Reviewed by rachel c on 27-09-2003 the fone is wicked,what more can i say about a cool and stylish fone and the polyphonic ringtone makes it stand out from the croud. SO GET 1 NOW!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Raj on 16-09-2003 This Phone is awesome. It does not have colour screen but it is so cute and catches everyone\'s eyes. If you want to go for a phone without colour display, this one is the best!!! Rating: Reviewed by dsaniel on 01-07-2003 the samsung A800 is every thing a stylish fone has a recording voice box cool ringtones wicked images and all sorts of accessories encluding handsfree kit. its every a small fone want too be an much much more 8310 is useless compered to the samsung A800 all aroundpucker fone well worth your money Rating: Reviewed by Craig Thompson on 08-06-2003 cool phone everyone should have one GREAT graphics, looks like a tv screen. really nice and gental polofonic ring tones loud and viberation is good, perdictive text is good better than the nokia 3210 and the nokia 3310. slim and nice lookin phone , games are cool lov the cat... Charge on the battery is good. silent # key is cool for being fast for going into places not like nokia have to switch on botton then select it by the phone :) Rating: Reviewed by Mark Price on 21-05-2003 Wow! What can I say! This phone is absolutely amazing. I previously had a Motorola Startac and thought I looked really cool with that phone, but this one is a different class. The ringtones are superb and I phone myself all the time to dance with my boyfriend to the dance sounds. Thanks Samsung. I love you x. Rating: Reviewed by Rachel on 07-03-2003 Cool and stylish...that is why I got it. But. Possibly not enough choice when looking for a new polytone or screensaver! Maybe it will catch up soon! Please...no more of the silly tunes and more of the funky sounds!!!! A funky phone deserves and funky sound!! Do we agree?

The Samsung A800 is a very stylish and popular phone, having a very similar appearance to its big brother, the Samsung T100. As well as looking very similar to the T100, it shares virtually all the same features, including the fantastic 40-voice polyphonic ringtones, except that it doesn't have a colour screen. If you're prepared to give colour a miss, then you will find the A800 to be a superb value, stylish and functional phone.
