Well I have never had a lot of problems with this phone even after 2 years until, the camera stopped working, you cant send MMS messages on O2 so if you have anything to save to a new phone you cant. The battery became swollen and broke its clip so it wont stay in a common fault. its cant play MP3. The real problem I have is that anything you did or saved to this phone stays there you cant transfer it to a new one, which can be a bit of a bugger really if you have a lot of pictures with sentimental value and a lot of contacts and ringtones you want to save, Games you paid for and want to move to a new phone. MMS messages and O2 ha ha ha, its never worked O2 say there is no problem even though the makers identified O2 as the service with a problem sending and receiving MMS messages from their phones O2 denied this but samsung pointed out that they had sent them that information when the phone came out and could prove it. O2 said well doesn't matter now anyway hardly any left out there...Fine words from ones service provider lol. O2 while being my service provider of choice have always been a bunch of slippery buggers when it comes to faults, but this still leaves me with a phone that is packed with my pictures ring-tones and other things I cant retrieve. as a working phone to make calls it was ok, to play the occasional game like who wants to be a millionaire fine. but if you wanted more advanced services, like putting a picture on a text forget it. Problems with the screen are I have found out a lot to do with how the battery connects to the contacts inside the phone and the occa sional software glitch which requires one to take the battery out for a few days to let internal charge die down then power back up to get a working phone, a year ago I would have given this phone 4 stars 3 months ago 2 after the camera failed a month ago 1 for problems with the screen and battery the battery causing most of the problems with this phone anyway.. today as I have tried in vain to retrieve my info from this I will give this phone 1 star for being outstandingly bad. If I can't in the end do anything with it get nothing from it I intend jump on it, kick it set alight to it then feed it to the seagulls to register my dissatisfaction with the E800 I then intend to send the seagull to samsung to vomit out my dissatisfaction on their laps. only wish I could then send it to O2 as well but that would be cruelty. Anyway they would only send it back with a message that if I go to this address to collect my O2 surprise and if I top up my seagull by 15 pounds or more I can get into the silver surprises. Though one thing I would like to point out is that I upgraded to a samsung J700i and am now a bit annoyed about that too but it works which is the main thing. May try the Nokia 5800 Xpress music,heard good things about it not quite the iPhone though I would try the Iphone which seems good but at 35 notes a month on O2 plus insurance seems a bit pricey to me to pretend to be deaf when people I don't like call or feel afraid of being mugged on the bus when I take it out.

All I can say about this phone is that it's definitely reliable. I've had it through 4 years now and it still performs as if new. Now let me tell you this thing has been through awfully ROUGH situations, being dug down in sand, stepped on, used as a soccerball in wet grass and so on. Incredibly DURABLE. If your only intention with a phone is to make calls this is an excellent and durable choice. Other than that it is awfully lacking. The text messaging interface is incredibly painful and time.consuming when compared to other brands. I have through these years yet to find another phone which can communicate through its so-called "ir-port" The camera is nothing short of worthless.

i've had this phone for over one and a half years and really, it's been fantastic. i've probably dropped it a gazillion times and it still works fine. well, at least until about a month ago, when i think i dropped it one too many a time, and then i started losing messages and my keypad started screwing up, but that's mainly my fault. LOL. but really. its small, compact, its navigational system is second only to nokia's, its good big numbers, clear screen, a rather fantastic camera and really, alot of good points. the games are indeed a bit of a letdown, as well as the absence of bluetooth, but, that's not much of a problem. connecting-with-other-technologies wise it's pretty lacking in some areas, but user-friendly wise, especially for newbies, it's really good. the keypad's kind of small, but, its comfortable enough and easy to use. a good phone! especially now that the price's gone way down (since it's such an old model) <3

It seems that you either love it or hate it! This is by far the worst phone I have ever had and the problems I have experienced are typically linked to very poor and erratic signal strength, inability to connect, make calls or send texts, etc, with "called failed" and "network rejected" being the norm. I went through periods thinking it was the network coverage (O2) but the mast is only 300m away and all other phones I checked were fine. Just upgraded to a sony ericson so fingers crossed it will be better. Glad to get rid of the pile of rubbish!

I bought this phone as an upgrade for my T100 which I have owned without problem for 3 years. After about 2 months it began locking up from time to time but got worse. The screen looked as though all the characters were bleeding into each other. The phone would shut down for no apparent reason and when rebooted would display a white screen. I could not make or receive any text or call with any reliability. The phone would immediately switch to divert when anyone tried to call me. I sent the phone away to Samsung Service Centre. I received the phone duly "repaired" and experienced the same faults again within 4 days. I returnred the unit yet again for the same faults and it came back again. After 5 days the same faults returned. I have now to send it back again. I have seriously lost any faith that I had in Samsung phones. If you are considering buying this product I would urge you to reconsider or you could end up with what I have. A stylish looking piece of junk. I regret buying this phone. All in all this is the worst and most stressful phone I have ever owned. BUYER BEWARE...

I love this phone with a passion. The portability. The screen colour. The tones. I can go on. However the one problem i encounted had to do with infared connectivity. It does not communicate with other mobiles. I love E800.

had this phone for less than 2 weeks and noticed it cut off calls or turned it self off regularly. friends complained that they could not get through to me. i have found out this problem is isolated to the o2 network. i returned my phone and they gave me a replacement. the second e800 has similiar problems. also the infrared only works with the p.c. it fails to connect with other mobiles. a lovely looking but bitterly dissapointing phone, especially when you consider the #200 price tag.

Bought the phone October time and don't recommend it, especially if you are with O2. After about 3 months it wouldn't let me answer calls, freezing on the screen 'connecting.' Then it wouldn't let me send text messages, saying there was no reception but there was. I sent it to O2 for repair and when I got it back within 3 days the problems started occuring again. It it not my sim card as my sim card was used in a loan phone for 2 weeks - a nokia 3310 - and it worked fine, like a dream - a world away from using my samsung e800. Felt wierd to have a working phone again, even if it was a really old one. I have read many other reviews of the same problem, particularly with O2 and Samsung have said O2 need to sort it out but they're not. If the phone worked fine I wouldn't have any complaints although the features aren't the best. Don't buy this phone and read the reviews of people who have had it for at least 3 months because thats when the problems start.

I think this phone is fab!!! dont listen to all the freaks that say the phone is aweful this if probably because they are with o2!!! My solution to this is if your having problems switch from o2, its obvious really. It may not have everything but is a fab phone and easy to use the features are fab!!! Overall this phone is the best for price!!!

I purchesed the E800 3 months ago, and I'm now experiencing a lot of problems with it: >The phone cuts out during conversations. >When answering calls, the phone connects and the timer starts, but I cannot hear anything, this is followed by the phone freezing. >Unable to send text massages >Mobile completely freezes and resets itself. >Phone switches itself off. >Loss of WAP & MMS settings on a regular basis. At first I thought it was a problem with my service provider and contacted them. O2 confirmed that they has no coverage problems in my area and suggested I tried a different handset - which I did, and have had no problems. I have since read a lot of reviews, with people having experienced similar problems - not impressed at all!

I was really impressed from the moment I got this phone well up until I had had it two weeks. After two weeks the first problem occurred it began cutting people off when i was talking to them even if I had it shut and they had called me. Then the phone started freezing and turning itself off when I sent messages. Now have got to the stage where it wont even turn back on this was all within 3 months of purchase. Anyways Vodafone have now sent it away under the warranty to be repaired but again not very impressed as this is the second Samsung I have had firstly had the E710 and this had to be sent away to be repaired due to faults. and now my partner who has upgraded yesterday to the E810 is having problems already as the handset is faulty and has already had trouble turning it on, once he gets it on gets simcard error. Not sure Samsungs are the best models looks like both of us are on our way back to the Nokias as we have never had any trouble with those!

Great phone but can't work out how to turn off the confirmation tone that you hear whenever you send a text. Why should you have to hear this tone when the phone is supposed to be in silent mode?!

Generally its a cute phone and i enjoy it, the only two problems i can complain about: each time u need to see the main screen u have to re-open it and smtimes, especially when u move the person with whom u are talking to dissapears, but may be this is just a problem with particularly my phone and has nothing to do with others.

Nifty little phone, easy to use. Good tones and excellent camera. 2 complaints tho - cannot see if you have new tex as screen is unlit when closed. Only option is to have a repeating tone which does not stop until tex is read - bit inconvenient at the office!! Also handsfree tab on side of phone is a pain to open - u lose the call by the time it's plugged in.........

Very easy to use, very advanced camera features, good memory (20MB), easy slide opening and nice clear screen. Doesnt have mp3 player but does support 64-polyphonic tones. Only criticism is that with so many features it doesn't have a video recorder and playback.

really looking forward to this phone, a little disappointed...very cramped keyboard, had to use 2 hands to type at any speed. when phone is closed you are not able ot see if you have missed any calls/texts without reactivating phone by opening it every time!!!! when will phone companies release that not all people want a fully scale melody when they get a call/text..some people just want a normal ring or alert....come on!!! help us to stop looking like a tit end everytime our phone rings???? the phone also feels very fat in your pocket..yet again i will be reverting back to nokia

This phone is mint. The slide design is like the Siemens SL55, but that's where the similarity ends! Unlike the crappy SL55, the Samsung delivers! The colour screen has 65,000 colours and is really vivid. The camera is great and comes with a flash so you can take pictures after dark, so cool. I'm really pleased with my Samsung E800, it's the best phone ever!

I've just received my E800, it is a really gorgeous little phone, very light and very small, the camera is absolutely brilliant and the slide function is great. I've never had a Samsung before and I was worried about how difficult I would find it to use but the menu's and usablility is great. I can't find anything wrong with it
