I bought this phone 5 days ago and i must say im happy with it. The battery life seems fine and the reason is because i did what you should always do with a phone...charge it for 8 or so hours straight when you buy it! It stays on all day for nearly 3 days.(ive only charged it once) Stop winging about the camera ..yes it is vga but so what it take perfectly normal photos ..who needs a full on 2 or 3 MP camera on a phone. Just use your digital camera. THE ONLY ANNOYING THING IS THE BATTERY COVER!! OMG!! it took me ages to get it off! then luckily i found one of those grip things in mums kitchen lol and it slid off so im alright with that! SO!...to anyone who has a grip thingo in their kitchen and wants a perfectly nice sexy modern phone...bu this one!!

For the price it's great. My nine year old daughter has the same phone in lilac and she loves it. The only problem we have with it is that the volume is poor. I miss so many calls because I can't hear it when it's in my bag (even have it on vibrate too). Tried changing the ring tone but to no avail. Otherwise, it's well worth the money and it's a neat and very sturdy little thing.

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

I bought this phone a couple of months ago, but have now replaced it. The main problem was the signal quality, I never managed to have a phone call without the signal breaking up or the other person not being able to hear me - and with my previous (and current) phones, the signal has never been an issue. 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! However, it is a really nice looking phone, nice neat & slim design, and really easy to use, and has some good features. Probably a good phone to have if you text a lot rather than phone people.

I can't rate it so good because i don't own one but when ever my friend comes round i can't stop playing with it! When he sent a song to my PDA via infrared i can't say it was easy to get the ports aligned and nor was it easy to get it to start sending but when it was sending a 3mb file took only about 15 minutes which for infrared is not bad. It is a very fascinating phone and for the price i'd call it feature-packed.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my mobile number:- 0020104988954 So, Samsung -250 is a bad mobile don't buy it :@ :@ Bye

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.

wonder about message alert tones! phone is outstanding but also with outstanding mistakes (so big that actually make doubt about whether they are mistakes realy!). and where are sms delivery report setting? it dosnt have it at all? about sms alerts: my mother needs a strong enough alert realy. I even thought about replacing mechanical vibrating mechanism with a small enough electronic ring (do you know a good instance?) !! and setting sms vibrating alert on!! 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 bought this phone back in May of 2007 and it has not crashed and has worked like a charm. Shame for the price i paid for it. I paid £70 for the phone which i thought was a rip. The design is a bit lazy but the phone itself is very good. But if you constantly keep flicking it up and down there is a scratch that comes up eventually.

I got this phone a week ago and I love it so far. I have no problem with the battery life unlike most people. It's camera's so-so, but I have my own digital camera, so it's fine. The speakers are pretty loud, so it's awesome. The bad points of the phone: really SMALL memory & I can't get the back cover off. The small memory can be fixed by getting a Micro SD card, which is about 500 pesos [for a 1gig] here. But I get really scared whenever I have to remove the back cover, I feel I might break it. :| But seriously, I love this phone. :)

Its a good phone however the ringtones are poor, the speakers aren't loud, you can get a better camera in this price range and you have to buy all the pre-loaded games on it. Don't get me wrong, its a great cheapy, beginners phone but for the price range now you can get better.

For me, there are only two things wrong with it: Very poor battery life You cann't find a decent case for it anywhere! Also, a lot of people have been moaning aboput the memory capacity. If you want songs so bad, either buy a memory card, are get an MP3 player! All in all, the pros certainly outweigh the cons with this phone, and with that price, it's a wonder they're not all sold out!

I've had this phone for almost a year now, and it has been a good little phone. 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.

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...
