After having this phone for over a year, I will be glad to be moving on to another phone. The sound quality of phone calls is not great at all, both hearing your callers, and I have had mnay complaints that no one can hear me at the other end. I don't use predictive text, but have to take it off all the time as the phone keeps resetting to use it when I reply to Txts. As it doesn't come with a usb, and the bluetooth facility doens't connect to photo printing booths I have been unable to get any of my photos printed, or on to my pc which is really frustrating. Reception is terrible, my boyf gets a much better signal on his ericsson, and we both with vodafone.

I love this phone, and I have it, lol. I think it's great for me cuz I'm a girl, and I like watching how healthy I am, just makings ure I don't get unhealthy! I truly love the mp3 player...saves me from spending money to buy a separate one. The color is nice too, and I think it suits me. A lavender-pinkish type! ^_^ The games are good too, though I wish there were more 3d games, anyhow, I still love them. The size of the phone doesn't bother me at all, which is great because I have trouble holding large phones with one hand. The shopping list is just excellent because I don't need to write out shopping lists anymore, I can just input it into my phone =) It's great that the camera has excellent quality! I'm really happy that there are frames that you can put yourself into for the photos, I always get experimental with them, lol! I think this phone basically has everything that I need, and I don't think there is anymore else I need to say, so thanks for making this phone! =) Th e only problems I have with this phone is that I wish you could actually do something else while the mp3 player is playing, and where can I find a usb cable???? I got this phone on Christmas Day 2004, and it's still going strong! ^_^ Thanks Samsung again!

I have had the E530 phone about 5 months now, so I have had time to get used to its features etc. I have given it a 4 star because of a few grips I have. When someone rings me, despite it being on the highest volume, you can hardly hear it ( my samsung E600 was/is much louder) now whether that's because I am using my own ringtone I don't know, whether if I used one of the preinstalled one it'd be louder or not. I hate the message alert tones, they are poor, rather have one I downloaded myself. The features of mp3, video, camera are good but when zoomed into max on camera by the time you take the pic, it still looks far away, so god knows what it would have looked like had I not zoomed in. The lifestyle features are in my opinion a waste of space they should have not bothered and just added more memory instead. Also if you have a missed called you wouldn't know it, by looking at the outer screen, unless you was lucky enough to see the small phone icon with 01 next to it. You'v e to open it up to see if you have any calls, which if you are in a busy place such as a market or shopping mall you can't hear it ringing, so you will have missed calls. Reception is perfect for me, never had a problem but sometimes when I am on a call, the caller tells me I am shouting when I am talking normally, so I have to whisper so they can hear me clearly. Can you buy some type of amplfier for mobiles, if you could I'd get one and keep this mobile till it died on me, because I don't want to have to buy another phone.

I've had two of these phones and love them!! but on both phones I have had to switch it to T9 every time i text - but that's not such a big deal. My only problem with it is that the signal isn't very good when the bars only have 2 or 3 bars, whereas a nokia phone i've had was fine in the same places. this is really annoying, and often decides to cut people off. Apart from this, though, i love the phone

This phone is one of the best around..its sltylish look, variety of colours and its number of functions are great including mp3 player, video and photo shooter, java games, voice recorder and many other things. The memory on the E530 is exellent and also its battery is long but is quickly re-charged. The phone is quite girly with personal organizer featers. The only let down about the E530 is there are no hands free on the phone. The phone also has a clard colour screen.

Hi, have had this phone since february. I have fads with phones, and spent months wanting this one and saving to buy it and have loved it since i bought it, however my love for it is dwindling. the picture quality is very poor on my phone, and i don't even bother with the videos as they are a bit pooh as well. the texting annoys me, I use predictive text and it never remembers any of the words that I use - also I am a hoarder and keep my texts however the memory on the phone does not allow me to keep many and am forever having to delete them, and unless u want to delete every one - i can't figure out how to delete a bulk amnt (selected) oh i dunno, after writing this am disliking it even more, was going to give it a 4, will now be changing to a 3!!!

I love this phone. I have had it for almost a year now and I haven't had much problems. The video and cinema quality is great and the memory and battery life is the best. I would definitely advice everyone to get it. I have found this phone easy to use. The only one problem that I have encountered was now that I have had it for a year I am thinking that my messages aren't always sending even if it has come in the send box, I have heard this has happened to a few other people. But all in all this is a great phone and I am now struggling to find a better phone because my contract is ending.

I really do like this phone - it's tiny and very cool in pink but it does have a few little flaws - it fails to remember some words you add to the T9 dictionary, and also never opens a new text with T9 ready to go - you have to switch it over everytime. Not a huge prob I guess but it can get a bit time consuming. Few other little niggles but not important, if you just want a sleek phone, this is probably the one, was so much better than my old Samsung E800.

I got this phone in September 2005 & absolutely love it! I got the light blue version cause in my opinion the dark pink & orange are pretty icky colors. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how small it was & it was super cute! The screen has amazing color & quality. I use it mostly for taking pictures, because you can get some fab shots. I had at least 100 pics on my phone & 30/40 videos, which is a lot! But I just bought a bluetooth device & I can finally clear my phone out a bit haha. It doesn't hold much music & the battery doesn't last long at all though. & with the music, you can't go onto anything else when you're listening, which is pretty stupid. I had problems with the T9 mode on texting before, but eventually it stopped mucking up by itself. The 'Lifestyle' section is completely pointless to me & me & my friends were laughing at the fragrance type cause no offense, but who's gonna use that? & with the internet, it says it's only gonna cost you £1 for a whole day online, but it takes a lot more money away than that. Sometimes my phone can go very slow, but I put that down to all the files I have on there I guess. The PIN code frustrated me & kept saying it was wrong when it was clearly right. I ended up getting blocked out & tried to call the SOS line, but GUESS WHAT it didn't work! But luckily I went online & sorted it out on the orange website. Anyway, I'm rambling on now. lol. If you want a cute phone that takes fab pictures & looks stylish, then this is the phone for you. But if you're wanting a fast phone that isn't fiddly & frustrating at times, then this definately isn't your phone.

I have had this phone for a little while and am amazed by how good it actually is. I have always liked Samsung phones for their designs and features, but this is defently the best one I've had. I brought it because it has MP£ and a flash camera, and it was PINK!! But once I charged it etc. so I could use it I was amazed by how girlie the phone actually was!!! It is the ultimate fashion accessory for a girl-it has a lifestyle option which has a calorie counter, period predictor, and body mass index thing, with so much more. My brother and boyfriend where utterly amazed that there was such a girlie phone on the market-with my brother commenting that if it didn't have the lifestyle section he'd get one in black. To me this phone outshines the nasty 'man looking' E720 and D600 handsdown. Overall, I recommened this phone to any girlie girl, or girl who appreicaites the wonders of pink!! Excellent.

I think this phone is great i have had it for about 5 months. I have updated it from the Samsung E700 which is also a great phone. I feel that the size and weight are great and it has so many features. The MP3 player is great and i have had no problems with it. I don't know if other people have found the same but the front display is difficult to see on a sunny day (but you can still see the inside screen so it doesn't matter). The one thing that I'm not to sure about is the wallpapers. When I have used display pictures from the internet the phone will not resize it to fit, while other phones have, so it is too small for the screen. Apart from those it is such a great phone and if you don't mind those two things then i would advice you to buy it. Cya

I bought this "sexy" phone for my wife last Christmas. It is generally a very nice designed phone. The user interface is not the best, since you
need to go through a lot of selections to finish a task.
But the major problem we had is the battery life. At the first month after buying the battery last for almost 3 days with bluetooth on. After
the first month the battery was empty just after 24 hours. Note that the
usage was the same and the bluetooth was on again. I replaced the battery with a new one, but still we had the same problem. Is this problem
common?
So my wife is very dissapointed, and I am thinking of selling the phone and buy a Nokia.

doesn't tell you how many it holds, but apart from that, it's brilliant and everything a girl or mum could want from a phone, and the amount of

I bought this phone in November last year, making my first non-Nokia purchase for years. Had to send it straight back as the people I was calling couldn't make out a word I said. Apparently it sounded as if I was talking underwater, the distortion was incredible. I was sent a replacement as was told the phone was obviously faulty, and the exact same thing happened.
And I had the same problem as one of the other reviewers, the predictive text switched itself off after every message I sent - not a huge problem, but rather inconvenient.
All in all, it's a very cute phone and I was really disappointed when I had to return the second phone. I'm now back with Nokia, and don't think
I'll stray from them again.

I fell in love with this phone the minute I received it. I just LOVED everything about it from colour (I had the blue one) to the flip design, and the size was just perfect. The menus were easy to negotiate (having had a Nokia before, this was my biggest fear).
BUT.... the reason I have rated if at "2" is because of the sound quality which was apalling. I spoke to various technicians and no-one could find a reason but in hindsight, looking at reviews of this and other Samsungs, it seems this is a fault of a lot of Samsungs. It was such a pity, but the phone had to go back.

I was sick of large bulky phones and wanted a small fold up phone with a longer battery life. This phone looks great. I don't know why some people say it's a women's phone. It's a phone! I went for the blue one and I am really happy with it. Only downside is that there is no speaker phone. The picture quality is great. I am very happy with it. Just one comment to Samsung... stop marketing your phones at men or women, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The phone is top quality. The video and camera espically, only 2 disadvantages. You can only store 20 messages at a time as there is no memory chip, and there in no speaker fone!. Other than that I would recommend it!.

hi had phone just over a week and im quite happy with it,upgraded from the nokia 6230 and the e530 is just so so much better.only 2 small probs with phone, sound quality durin calls can sound a little tinny at times compaired to other phones ive had,though people have never complained of not hearing me yet and i can hear them. and the t9 dictionary just will not store certain words(such as my sisters name lol) and have to be re added every time.apart frpm the the phone is full of features,got mine in the pink version from o2 online and well its just so damm pretty.overall would recommend this phone to any ladies out there
