I have had this phone for 3 years and up until recently I have had no problems with it what so ever and have found it to be a reliable, hard wearing phone. However recently, say about the past 3 months) its functions have randomly stopped working such as my phone doesn't always ring but will tell me I have missed the call; the text message vibrate setting doesn't vibrate and my phone alert for text messaging doesn't always beep. I have also found that the volume button has stopped working now. Overall I think, despite my criticisms, this is a good phone and that for me its problems are due to me being careless with how I handle it.

An amazing phone!! It was my very first phone and I reccomend it to everyone! The video light is very usefull. The memory is ok. I could fit on 100s of videos and nealy 300 photos, but only a few songs. If you have a seperate ipod or mp3 player then this is a great phone for you! The design is great! So cute! The key pad is so easy to use. Everything is great!! Also, The contacts list is so easy to use - you can have a seperate file per person so you can add as many numbers as you like and know who the numbers are for. You can also have a different ring tone for each contact (there are 62 ring tones and you can even record your own!) if you dont want to desterb anyone around you then dont worry, for each ring tone you can put on vibation which vibrates to the beat of the music so you will know who is calling without making a sound! GREAT PHONE!!

I really like this phone, I think the camera is brilliant for what the phone is. The only thing I had a problem with was connecting it to the computer, I had some pictures on the phone and I was desperate to have them on my computer! And just couldn't! But from asking in many different shops I ended up with a bluetooth dongle which is brilliant. I have got a different phone now though, because I really wanted more songs and this phone just didn't have enough memory, it should be able to have a memory card! I would really recomend this phone as its easy to use and very good.

I can't understand as to why I can't download the music from a computer to my mp3 phone facilities. This is the lost option for me as I am not going to download music directly from the mobile phone internet facilities as suggested by a mobile phone shop staff. Also the dictaphone facilities are not very satisfying as the recorded sound can't be heard unles you put your phone to your ear.

Is a cute little phone, though i found that the battery last not long at all. Not sure if I got a dud battery, but lasted only a few hours. Surely thats not right. Yes I was setting up a few things, but have done the same with their phones without the battery going dead. Batteries are easier enough to buy at moment though. Pictures seem quite good. Buttons are really soft and easy to press. Phone tends to freeze for a few seconds thoughm not sure if its when i become in an out of range area, but have read reviews with this happening to other people. Also having issues trying to get the usb cable to connect and be recogonised to my computer. Still, great little phone

This phone is INDESTRUCTIBLE!!! No joke, I LOVED this phone for the 3 years I had it (I lost it in the end...) And I've never been more attached to a phone before! My samsung E350 had been through: - The washing machine (several times) - A huge puddle (luckily it was on vibrate so when i rang it I saw the ripples in the pool and found it) - A fall from a second floor window - A battering when I dropped it at a gig, it got stepped on and kicked around and I found it in the corner, covered in dust and scratches but working fine! - Dishwasher (wanted to see if it would clean it and it did!) - Falling down the stairs - Sat on in my back pocket Now for someone like me who is quite clumsy with their phone, this phone stood by me through everything! I especially like the camera, which is suprisingly good for a phone that doesn't boast it's camera quality, and the way you can have videos as your background. Samsung! That was genius! Make your other phones able to do that and I'll never leave samsung for anyone else! Overall VERY impressed, loved that phone ALOT! I'm gonna get me a samsung G600 now, see if that can compare to this one. I somehow doubt any phone can!

READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW REALLY TOUGH THIS LITTLE PHONE IS! Absoloutly fantastic phone! I never had any trouble with it, and it has lasted me about 2 years maybe slighlty less. I'd still have it now if it wasn't for the fact that I lost it... And for the first time I really genuinly miss my phone! I'll tell you what it's been through: - a few times in the washing machine - it has been dropped from many a great height - I dropped it on a busy concrete street and it got kicked about a great deal - dropped in a huge puddle, found it because it was on vibrate and when I rang it I saw the ripples - I painted and coloured it in - Spilled coke all over it. - Spent a night on the street in the rain, when it was found by the SECOND HAND PHONE SALESMAN and he was decent enough to return it :) Now your thinking I do not know how to look after a phone. but this phone looks after itself I can tell you now! Although, this phone is designed for women, and I'd adive men not to get it as it is very much a femanine phone. it is amazing, the best phone I've ever encountered.

I've had my E530 for 18 months now and can't wait to change it. The T9 predictive text is fine except that it refuses to save new words in the dictionary. I've checked the T9 website & T9 does allow you to add words to it's dictionary, but warns that not all phones have that functionality. Clearly the E530 doesn't. I also find the camera appalling. No matter how steadily I hold the handset, I invariably get blurred images. I also find that the image you think you've captured when you hear the shutter sound isn't the image that then appears on screen - there seems to be a bit of a delay so you end up not capturing what you wanted to. I'm not keen on the calendar scheduling features either. It's a lovely looking compact phone and nice and light, but the features I used most on it were poor.

Well, I have had this phone for 18 months now and I am glad to be replacing it with a Sony Ericsson W850i. This phone is one of the only top phones on the market for which you cannot have customized themes, or games sent to via bluetooth. Another downfall, in my opinion, of the Samsung phones in general is the inability to set a MP3 file as the message alert or alarm. The main problem I have had with this phone is that sometimes it decides not to let me receive txts, it vibrates and when you click open, no txt appears. This is only remedied when the phone is turned off and on again, very annoying as you can imagine. On the whole, this phone has been reliable and has never had a technical fault. My own opinion is that Sony Ericsson phones are the ones to have and the best available on the market. I would never own a Samsung again. It's a nice size and weight however, with a attractive design like the other Samsungs. My advice: BUY A SONY ERICSSON! Hope that helped.

In my media class we made adverts and my phone was in one of the adverts and just seeing my phone on telly nearly made me cry because i love it so much

This has got to be the worst mobile phone I have ever had. For the first two weeks I loved it, I still love the look of it, but I have been mega unlucky with the functionality. At first I had to go through about 10 hours of set up time with the Vodafone team to get picture messaging. Then the battery stopped taking charge and it was dying in the space of 1 hour. I had that one replaced by Vodafone (thanks!) but then I had to go through the 10 hours set up time for picture messaging again. My latest dilemma is that the phone will not hold a conversation. It doesn't switch off, but just cuts off. Apparently all I can do is get it repaired, and I am stuck with it for another 11 months. The menu is good, text msging you can get used to, but no nokia, and i love the extras such as 'pink calendar'. The camera is ok pixel wise, but the video is ace. Especially when you transfer it to the computer. However... either I have been really unlucky, or Samsung still have some dev elopment testing to do. ps. signal receiver is rubbish!

I know this is an oldie, but its also a goodie! If you just want a cute mobile that's easy to use with good reception then this could be for you, its also becomming more rare as its retired. I had this little mobile when it first came out, I do like Samsung mobiles and have had quite a few in my time including the E900 and D900 and although this is tecnically less able it is small easy to use and pretty!! I think I've just got fed up with the black Samsungs and the black or white skins, so I've returned to my valentine pink cutie!!

I cannot complain about this phone. It's been down a toilet and still works - thats what i call a good phone! Also when ive dropped phones before thats it, this is still strong! Great camera, easy to use, easy to txt from and call from, sometimes hard with signal, but i got a signal booster and all that changed so i was happy - excellent amazing phone

i got this phone 4 months ago and it is brilliant dropped it several times now once in a bucket of water and it still works perfectly although i wouldnt recommend 2 any 1 2 try it!!! The only let down is the signal. I am on Orange at the momet and so is my mum and she has a different phone 2 me and she seems 2 beable 2 get al least 1 bar of signal in most places in my house and i can get vertually none. The only place i can get signal is in my bed which isnt useful as i dont do much texting at 10 oclock at night when i am actually in bed!!!

I am a phonaholic!! and have had loads of mobiles over the years, my phone, previous to this one was a samsung d500 which I think is one of the best phones ever by the way!!but a bit of a blokey phone, so i got an e530 off of e-bay and I have to say it is really good, it has pretty much the same stuff as the d500 but not slide obviously!! and its well girly! so far had no probs with reception, or quality of sound, every thing seems to be working as it should!! i do think that the fragrance thingy and period thingy are a bit pointless but the phone overall is excellant!!!!
