I enjoy this phone and i've had it just over a year. It is areally great price and good if your not too interested in flashy little extra bits you get on phones these days. But one day without any knocks or bangs the phone screen just went of fuzzy and white. It was wierd!!! But with a couple of clever relations we swapped the screen of a phone that i accidently washed in the washing machine and put it on this phone and off we were again!!

Had this phone for around 2.5 years and while not having the greatest features it does the basic very well. It can text, dial, receive calls and thats about it - if you're looking for a fancy mobile with a camera, music player, touch screen and all that fancy stuff look elsewhere; if you're after a basic cheap phone look no further and get an E250.

I've got this phone at the moment and at first i really liked it, but after a while it gets abit boring, when i brought it i could only store 2 or 3 song on the memory and had to but a seperate memory card. I think that this phone isn't very good and if anyone i shtinking about buying this phone i would advise you not to. i am upgrading this phone to the nokia 5530, and i am sooo glad i am getting rid of it! after a while it feels tlike the screen is going to break, the little tabs that you move to get to the memory card slot and to charge the phone can break easily, and by cousin has the same phon and hers and broken off. i think that samsung could ah ve done a better job on this phone and i will NEVER buy another sumsung phone!!!

I've had this phone since December 2008, and when i got it, I was very pleased with it, didn't think a better phone excisted. But I soon got bored of the games on it, and the bluetooth is a little hard to use, and the camera isn't very good, despite all the good frames and effects. I think the main audience this phone is good for is young children ages 11 - 13, and maybe adults 30-40. I am now switching this phone for the samsung Genio touch and hopefully not looking back.

I have had my E250 for two years now. It is a solid phone but after only 12 months of owning it the main buttons (call, arrow keypad etc) started to stop working. Carphone Warehouse, where I bought the phone, fixed it free of charge on the waranty but another 12 months down the line the buttons no longer work again. I don't know any other people who have the phone but it may be beneficial to find out whether it has happened to other people. I haven't mistreated it, its just very well used. Otherwise a solid little phone.

What an awful phone! I found that this is not user friendly at all. The message alert tones are ridiculously quiet and cannot be changed from the four listed. The punctuation is ridiculously long winded, taking lots of key presses. The memory is poor, the battery life short, downloading off the web a nightmare, and the instructions vague. And what's more - no smilies (lol!!!). Have now got a sony ericsson C510 and can't fault it. You get what you pay for - this phone is cheap for a reason, namely it's rubbish. Put me off Samsungs forever. *DON'T BUY IT*!!!!

Bit late I know for norma 8th Sept 2007 but after struggling myself for a number of days to get the back off an old E250 there's a simple way to do it. Press the "butt" of your hand against the back of the phone and just push forward. Easy Peasy now that my granddaughter has just showed me how to do it on her old E250. And Samsung phones look well engineered judging by that phone.

I bought this phone for my birthday, It was my first phone ever, and it turned out amazing. It is a very nice looking funny, and the features on it are brilliant. The games are fantastic: Pacman, Tetris, Zuma, and Brain Training. All of them are demos, but you can buy the proper game. The camera is good, not blurry, very good focus. Ringtones are amazing, Texting is very simple and easy, what more can i say? I love this phone! I will keep it until it breaks! and also, it is a very cheap phone. That may make it sound rubbish, ignore the bad reviews because the phone is perhaps the best phone you will ever come across. Thankyou!

it's inconvenient because the memory card slot is too narrow that you have a hard time inserting and removing it. also, it can't play downloaded videos around 4.4 MB. images moved to the memory card also become smaller, and when you use them as wallpapers, you get this two hideous gaps above and below the image. but other than that, it's okay.

This phone is amazing. It has survived 1 year of me dropping it, getting it wet, being slamed shut in anger, standing on etc ect. I bought this as a tempory phone but i just decided to keep it. The thing that annoyed me was the fact that it stayed lit while on charge. Oh and I love the funky animation in the music player and the option of 2. The skins dissapointed me a tad though, the white skin is really tacky but the black skin looked so good next to the shiny black exterior of it. I have moved on from it now because it's not exactly the most hi-tech phone and my little brother has it and he loves taking pictures. (He's only 8 bless). Top notch phone.

Trick to opening back - press down either side of the ridge on the back of the phone (quite a bit of force needed), then while still pushing down, slide it upwards.

I bought this phone in '07 and absolutely loved it. Of course it is a budget phone so i couldn't expect the world, but it surely delivered more than i did. And it is rugged, took all the knocks and bumps with nairy a whimper i even stood on it once, accidentally of course. i love the music player though the cam is very basic. buy this phone cos at the price there is none better!!

Bought this phone only two months ago. This is a very great phone in a low price . But still it is not the perfect phone. Display is very poor. Music is great and the camera is too poor for this kind of phone. The slide mechanism is not so smooth. The slide moves not only up and down but also a little right and left! If you are a rough user you should be carefull to use the slide. Better will be you stay away from this. The default message and ring tone are too too poor and you can set a ring tone but not the message tone.

what no-one has mentioned is the fact that you can only do one thing at once on this phone. For example, if you were sat on the bus texting someone, you couldn't listen to music at the same time, whereas you can with a Sony Ericsson, which I believe are the best phones, closely followed by Nokia. I bought this phone in lilac in September because it was cheap and my other phone before it (a Sony Ericsson) had a faulty screen after a particular unfortunate event. Anyways, like I said, you can only do one thing at once which is really irritating, I agree that the battery power goes really quickly and the camera isn't that great and I love to take pictures. And for all of you who paid £20 for a memory card, you've been robbed because I paid either £6.99/£7.99 so £20 isn't really that cheap tbh. I bought the phone for £29.99 along with the card from the 02 shop. The phone does have a lot of features yeah but there aren't any games on it for when you're bored and the buttons are frustrating. Like someone said earlier, it's so easy to hit the reject button by mistake when receiving a call and you daren't lean to one side with the phone on your shoulder or else you end up cutting off the conversation completely. If that isn't bad enough, this REALLY shows how tacky and cheap Samsung really is because the charger, the little part that goes into the side of the phone broke off! there were two gold coloured points sticking out and I obviously couldn't fix this charger or use it again so I've ordered a cheap one off play.com I'm then going to charge it up and take everything off then probably get rid of it. Sony Ericsson is soo much better, and, in the long run, for the sake of your mentality and good health (lower stress levels) I don't think it's worth buying this phone unless you can cope with all its vices. p.s. the rubber part that you have to move to put the charger in won't stay down which looks silly. However, the music is great on mine, plays straight from memory card but yeah the default message tones are lame.

I have not had this phone very long, but am very pleased so far. Sleek and stylish looking and the slider works smoothly so far. Minor quibble is that the ridge at the bottom of the phone makes the bottom row a bit awkward when texting. BIG quibble is the so-called users guide. It tells you what the phone can do - but not how to do it! And all on cheap and nasty paper.

I bought this phone, registered it and put it away in a drawer for a month (as it was supposed to be a Christmas present). When I next tried to use it, I got only an 'Insert SIM" message, and nothing I do removes it. Unfortunately, I mislaid the flimsy Tesco receipt and so they refuse to refund the money or exchange the phone. Even if were made to work, I would never again trust it to function properly when required.

I had this phone for around 2 months and I hated it. Yes, it may be excellent considering price but within 1 month the screen was fuzzing and vibrate wouldn't operate anymore. The short battery life was also a minus, having to charge it every second day or so. The storage space is very limited, and could only hold 20 or so low qual photos.The camera was also quite poor, and don't even get me started on the display screen. However the MP3 player was excellent and sound quality on this phone is great.I previously had a Samsung and it was of very poor quality. I find Nokia and LG are of better design, quality and usability. Overall despite the MP3 player this phone was vry poor and I recommend you go find another.

Now push down i.e. (push into body of phone)on the raised line and then try to slide a little bit to the left. Now it doesnt fully slide, only say half centimetre and it will then lift off. Try it you'll see It does come off with a little force.

My dad had to use masking tape and a lot of force just to get it off for me. When you want to put it back on you can't and my mum has just somehow put it back on, but we now can't remove it (thankfully i took my sim card out). It should just be like my phone where you move something up and it pops off easily. - It doesn't keep all my text messages.

i have this phone since april 2007 and it's still working, but it have some issues: the sound does't hear to loud, the battery runs out in less than 48 hours even though it's on standby, you can have only 4 unhandy options to message alert, you can't set as background pictures above 90kb, media player can't work in background and if you want to keep your keypad volume maxed you risk injuring your ears if you write a message. The good thing is that the 1gb card works excellent and you don't have to wait to much to load.

I bought my phone on the Monday and like everyone else could not get the back plate off. After trying all Monday afternoon and night to remove it resulting in bent knives, scissors and teeth, I went back to the shop and after 5 mins, the sales bloke managed to get it off. Here's a tip for anyone else struggling to get it off - stick a piece of sellotape to the back (this grips the panel) and pull - it really does work! I managed to download tunes and file them but do you think I can find the apostrophe? No! Message alert isn't that great compared to my previous Samsung even though I have the alert repeating every 2 minutes! Not a bad phone for the price.

The images are ok in day light and are 640x480 (but are good) and as a music player its good. Can slightly improve on battary (lasts for 1.5 days for me if used for pics and music, which is quite OK). good to buy for that price..

buying this was a big mistake! i didn't really read the reviews for this phone before and now i know that i really should have because the phone sucks! firstly the battery life is so bad it barely lasted three days and that is when it was fully charged and had been completely unused, also even with a memory card you can only record for 2 minutes before it cuts you off and while your recording you can't pause, which is really annoying! also it is quite hard to connect with other phones via bluetooth as some other phones just don't pick it up, and when it does get picked up sometimes it does allow you to view or play pictures or song and videos you try to receive, its horrible. sometimes it does pick up calls or it tells you that you've been called several times when you haven't. but after all that it isn't the worst phone you could get as it has helped me quite a lot so if your on a tight budget you shouldn't over look this phone but if you can afford something bette r please save yourself some agony and buy something else!

I've just bought this phone from an Orange shop. A great phone, and all it cost was £19.99!! The deal in the shop at the moment is £29.99 plus a £10 required top-up. However if you already have an Orange pay-as-you-go, simply ask to keep the same number, the assistant transfers your sim/credit to the new phone (saving £10), and even better they will take your old phone in p/ex for another £10 saving. Mine was an old phone so it was not worth a tenner! Great deal I would say... As for the phone itself, I like the features, it can be easily personalised. The camera is basic, but I never print my photos anyway, and it can shoot video. For mp3 you would need to upgrade the memory (SD micro) - but these are not expensive, and the radio is useful too sometimes. All in all (especially for the money) I would highly recommend.

I've had it for a year and a couple of months.. Camera's great for snapshots of screens (Computer and Television screens), Great for "happy snaps" too. Battery Life is alright, Not so good if you play games on it 24/7 but just fine if you barely use it. Features great, Reeeealy robust, I dropped it so many times and it's scratched very badly but still worked fine up until a couple of days ago when it finally died =[ What I didn't like about the phone was the inability to use your own music files as a message tone, it wouldn't have bothered me as much if the samsung tones weren't so annoying! It's really irritating to hear "sakdajsdlkfhDING!" everytime you recieve a message. But overall, Fantastic phone, 9/10 (only because of okay battery life & message tones.) I recommend it. Trust me, A year and 2 months is great for someone as clumsy as me with their possesions. (By the way, my first generation iPod nano has been ran over by my bike, stepped on and dropped about 200 times and it still works. No, I do not work for apple or samsung.)

OK, the camera is a little lame but as another reviewer said, if you want to take photo's, use a proper camera! The FM radio and MP3 player sound fine to me with the supplied headset - can't understand what others are talking about? OK, the message alert tones aren't that hot, but the assignable ringtones, display, stunning looks, LOVELY slidey thing and general fantastic build quality are outstanding! ESPECIALLY from a phone that only cost me 44.95GBP! (including a 20 pound talktime top-up!!)

This phone lasted around 7 months after many extremely annoying things happened. Pros: - For an extremely cheap phone, it provides a very basic camera, MP3 player, radio, whatnot. Cons: - Slide becomes EXTREMELY rough. To the point where you are embarased to show your phone to your friends. This happened around 2 months after I purchased the phone. - Battery life is absoloutely terrible. I ended up charging the phone nearly everyday. This kept happening until I gave up seeing as I couldnt be bothered charging it so frequently causing me to miss out on important calls and texts. - The adapter provided became EXTREMELY faulty and stopped working after around 5 months. I had to buy 4 more. In the end, if you are looking for an entry level phone, look elseware.

Some people on this just seem to like complaining. Last week my N73 died for no reason. I bought this phone because it had Bluetooth, a Memory Card Slot and it was only ¤49. Sure the camera isnt great but what do you expect. The phone is much better than the Nokia 5200. There is more memory in it for starters. The display is bigger, sharper and brighter than the 5200. Videos look better and the E250 is thinner and cheaper than the 5200. But you should buy a MicroSD card for the phone to hold more music, pictures and videos. I have had no problems with it. You should buy this phone if you are looking for a cheap phone with a camera and mp3 player. Also the headphones are much better than the ones included with a phone are much better than the N73 and the phone doesnt take as long to turn on as the N73. The only thing I have a problem with is that the Vodafone branded version (E250v) does not include the USB cable

Therefore in the end I had to replace it as i defied the point of having a phone if I couldn't have a conversation on it!

This phone will not break, i have had it since november 2007 and have been wanting a new phone since i brought it! i have chucked it at walls, in the air everything nothing will break mine there is nothign actully wrong with it, it is a great & easy to use phone the only thing that has gone wrong wiht it is the bluetooth a couple of months ago, it cant find people or people cant find you, some times in works and some times it doesn't it bit of a hit or miss! the camera is not the best but for VGA camera what do you expect but does take photos the internal memory will there isnt much of it, i have only been able to store one song it and about 20 photos that is it, but once you get a memory card its fine =) overall it is a good phone for its price

Its an ok phone for the money. Camera isnt great and memory is low. You will need a mem Card and bluetooth on your pc if you want to copy over mp3s. Radio sounds great on headphones - i wondered too about having to have the headset in to listen to the radio on the speaker - it maybe that the headset acts as an FM aerial.

I have the opportunity to use the phone and I must say it is very exciting and entertaining especially with all the music and the fm radio.However, one notable limitations that I must say it has is that when it comes to installing applications, one can really have a nightmare because more often than not, you will always see the installation error information. What could be the solution to this?You can contact me through the email adress, oluochebrahim@yahoo.com

Sam sung e-250 is very bad mobile. any one reads the specification will think that it's a nice mobile, but the fact that it's not. I will tell you why, for example when you install a memory card and while you are recording a video clip using the Sam sung e-250 mobile, the clip should be saved on the memory card but the fact is that the clip is always saving on phone memory that means that you can't take a video more than 2 minutes and after that you have to stop recording and save it and then remove the clip to the memory card to make a free space on the phone memory because the mobile specifications is set to record video, photos, and every thing on the phone memory however there is a memory card installed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I last bought a phone, all they did was make phone calls and send texts. I am thrilled with this phone - I think of it like my "IPhone" except it cost a fraction of the price. The email / internet functionality works fine although I would not do a great deal of internet browsing on it. The MP3 player sound is really good and is as good as having a dedicated player, once you add an sd card for extra storage. My only very slight criticisms - it would have been nice if the usb data cable, a case and a screen protector had been provided.

Had this phone for about a year now, and no problems. A great little phone, though my sliding bit is a little stiff and wobbly, and was so when I bought it first, which is a bit annoying. Colours on the screen are quite pixelated due to the low res. but that is obvious. The camera is alright, but a flash and more megapixels would be ace. Easy to get used to and use; a good buy if you just want a good phone, at a cheap price. [I've seen them at around £35 now.] I'm only getting a new phone because I want more megapixels on the camera, and better resolution. Great little phone.

I've had this phone for over 6 months, and for a budget mobile, it's pretty good. True, the people saying they can't get the back off easily are right, but I don't find it much of an issue. I got a 1gb memory card off amazon, excellent value, less than a fiver, and I can fit a LOT of songs on there. Couple of gripes though. The playlist capability of the music player is a bit iffy, there are only 4 playlists and they only fit 30 tracks on each, but it's quick and easy to change your playlist around so not too bad. The phone doesn't come with any kind of cable or PC software, I had to borrow mine off a friend who got the e900 a few weeks before I bought this one, and that's the only way to get files from your computer to your phone and vice versa. I'm sure you can buy a cable and the software separately though (look for Samsung PC studio or something like that). Nice little phone for a nice little price.

I dont know if some other hardware manipulation can be made to workaround this nasty problem. phone is realy good in other parts, so why such bug should degrade it so much? why there isnt a (probably official) workaround? a software patch; firmware upgrade... etc. I dont know! we realy need at least a much stronger sound for sms alerts. their owns are almost useless!

I agree with some of the comments about battery life, if your a big talker be prepared to do a lot of re-charging, but I don't really see this as a big problem. I've found the camera to be really good, as long as you don't move whilst taking the photo, otherwise its just a huge blur. With regards to the MP3 player, I would definitely buy a SD card, as the phone will only store 1 song otherwise. However, if you shop around these days you can get one already with the phone. If you've not got loads to spend I would recommend this phone, it looks nice, the slider is fab, have not had one problem with reception or anything else. Shop around and get a bargain.

I bought it new on PAYG from Carphone WH for £40, £30 for the phone and the mandatory £10 air time. Brilliant feature-packed phone, it is sturdy and solid design, quite a loud speaker too. Battery life is pretty good. ***THE PROS:*** excellent quality bluetooth strength. Good camera quality. Brilliant reception and phone call quality. Good buttons. Cheap price tag! Fast battery recharge. Good batery life. **THE CONS:** screen is a bit pixelated, could be better quality. There are no voice commands or voice dialling unfortunately. Should come with a free memory card, they're so cheap nowadays! A bit hard to slide the phone up unless you hold it and angle your thumb down and push it up while pressing. Not the nicest menu system (ugly fonts). Can not change SMS TXT alert tone. **OVERALL:** The cons do not amount to subtracting a star - only because the price of the phone is SO CHEAP! I am happy to be using this as my main phone for the meantime, eventually I will chang e to a contract again but for now I don't need a state-of-the-art phone or an expensive contract. If you want a cheap but GOOD phone, this is the phone.

This Fone Is Everything You Could Ask For Only Thing That Is Bad And Which Disappointed Me Was The Camera Quality Only .3 Megabytes! Also The Back Cover Was Stiff. It Has A Good Life Battery Even Tho I Use My Fone Alot . But It Is Worth Its Price. Its Light And Slim . I Would Recommend You To Buy It!

This is mah first cam n mp3 player handset .. when i started using it i fell in love with it .. the more i used it .. the more disadvantages i found .. low batery *a major prob, the pics music etc doesn automatically get saved on the memory card .. you gotta transfer your previous taken pics and music to memory card and then only you can take new pics... voice is not at all clear.. you can get better sets then this one at da same rates .. avoid goin for it ... seriously

i think this phone is alright. its not mine its my brothers, i would not really buy this phone because of the poor battery life it has. Also the music on the MP3 player is not very loud compared to other phones but that might be because im used to walkman phones. I think it is a very stylish phone and is defiantly worth the money if you charge it through the night that is.

I have had this phone for about two years now and i must be honest and say it is really a piece of junk.The memory can onylk hold two songs and battery life is limited. Mine keeps brakinga and turning itself off. Also, when you slide it down, it gets sticky and the colour wears away. DON't buy it!! It's rubbish, really it is!!

I bought this phone from my sister as I am on my sister mobile network and just swapped her card.Got it for £44. I got a 1gig micro sd card and card reader of the net for £14 and off I went. But can I get mp3 tunes on to listen to. No.Maybe its my lack of tech know how but the only things I can get are of friends via blue tooth.Anyway I like the phone.Its stylish and my battery lasts nearly a week on standby mainly with a bit of playing with the features in the evening. Agreed the message alert tones are poor.The radio is fine but why have to have earphone plugged in before you can listen thro loudspeaker.Wierd.For the price its a great phone and when I learn how to load it as an mp3 player I will be happy.This is the phone I shall keep till it drops to bits because I love it.

I have only had this phone since 22 December and have had to recharge it loads. The standby is supposed to be 250 hours which is 10 days! I was told at Phones 4 U where I bought it that the standby was about 3 days. Bit of a difference there. I have now let the thing run right down and then left it on charge for 24 hours and am waiting to find out - with minimal use - how long the thing is going to last. I will be very intersted to know if it lasts till next week before needing charging again!! Also the range of ringtones is poor and I can't get the back off - all my friends can but I can't.

The SGH-E250, a very good fone, good voice quality. I can say this fone is excellent, the camera is perfect, navigation superb. The only defects i can say are a drawback are, 1. the slide tends to be heavy, it should have been smoother, also i noticed that, there some scratching at back of the part which slides up, meaning that there is friction somewhere inside, and this is relly dab, i think it is a manufacturing error coz my other friend whom i bought the fone at the same time had his sliding part scratched also. the other disadvantage is the battery it tends to kinda of heat up during charging and the batt life is not that good. In a nutshell the E250 stands above most slide fones I really luv it.

The good : It's small, light and very easy to use which was the main attraction to me. The bad : The rear cover is a pain to get off, though the bloke in the shop did it in seconds. I'd prefer a standard headphone socket. and the ugly : I had to buy a USB connection lead and downloaded the PC software from the samsung site - I then found it didn't work! I tried the XP and Vista versions (on appropriate PCs) and neither worked. I've yet to call their help line but I this shouldn't be rocket science! To sum up - I like the phone, I don't notice I'm even carrying it and it's very simple to use - but not with a PC! I'd of given it 4 stars if the software worked and 5 if it had a bit more memory with a 2mb camara.

This phone is all right. The only (minor) details I find annoying are: 1. The connectors for the earphones are not equal. By design, one of them is longer and the remote is supposed to hang under one of the ears. This design is stupid. Couldn't they make the eaprhnes with a central remote, on user's chest? 2. The verry annoying Vodafone Live button, which is useless for me and unfortuantelly cannot be removed without a firmware update. I recently bought a Nokia 6234 (also Vodafone-branded) and both the above flaws are not present. The headset has simmetrical connectors for the earphones and the live button can be removed, because the standby softkeys are tottaly customisable. Of cours, Nokia 6234 costs about double.... I give E250 3 stars- good, but it could heve been better. Also, the display sux compared to nokia's.. But then, the price is cheaper... You can't have them all...

Where else can you get these features on another phone nothing compares. The only drawbacks which is usual with samsung is you cant choose a decent text message sound. and you have to crop the names of songs before the phone will see them as music these are the only 2 points oh and the battery can be a bit short soemtimes spec is your listening to music all the time but carry a spare i used to.

I own this phone for about 9 months now and its very good. Voice quality of FM radio is very good however its not as loud when ur playing mp3 files. I dont like the middle key (OKi) that opens the internet browser. This should have been the menu key like in other manufacturers phones. Another thing that i dont like in this phone is that you cant play the video on the full screen. but overall the phone is good in this price range.

This is a great phone. I would recommend you to buy it. It is slim and fits your pocket easily. One faulty part of my phone is the cancel button [red phone] which creaks and is not really good. (Just that part). I don't use the MP3 and the FM radio so I do not know how the effects. This phone is good because it has loudspeaker - which works with music. The battery life doesn't last long though, if you use the camera, music, radio alot. But this is a great phone with nice features and I`m pretty pleased with it. Overall I do recommend it to anyone looking for a phone who isn't going for a high amount of money! :]

I have just bought the Samsung E250 today and must say, I am really impressed with it. The camera is excellent, the videop recorder is great and there is also a photo editor and I have already made my friends look daft. The music player is really good. There is an FM Radio which is good so you can listen to it in your spare moments. There is also bluetooth and a lot of internal memory. There is like 7 games. They're all good. The phone has a lot of security also. There is the basics like a calendar etc. Overall - great phone
