just bought this phone and the camera wouldn't work.Anytime I try to on the camera,it tells me 'camera disconnected'. Can someone help me out? It's really disheartening.

3 years i have owned this phone. the quality of this handset, inside and out, is top notch. its been dropped countless times, been thru a washing machine!!!(dont ask), and it still it works like the day i first bought it. no problems with buttons, speakers, screen, freeze up and the rest of it. (unlike other brands i have owned recently). in a nutshell, this is the best phone i have ever used and now i have took up the advantage of upgrading to something else, my son uses it. but as my latest handsets go in and out of the phoneshop for repairs more often than not, the z320i still shines and prospers!! samsung has produced a robust no-nonsense handset here, and although it may not have the all-singing all-dancing twinkling lights that people seem to be attracted to these days, its a shame that the latest generation of phones do not possess the quality that samsung built 3 years ago.

iv had this phone 3 yrs now and its been brilliant except for the phone randomly resetting the ringtone to the factory default occasionally the battery was always brilliant lasting 1-2weeks off one over night charge!! or lasting upto a week off a few hours... until recently. the battery started playing up not lasting a day without needing charging and it was getting worse having to charge it 3 days for the battery to last 1 was ridiculous the past week or so the battery has been dying and my phone turning off while its been on charge! last night i was having a phone call while my phone was on charge and it died and wouldnt come back on. i left a lil while thinking it would work. tried it again and it vibrated loads till i took the battery off then i put it back on and it kept flashin at me then i took it off again put it back on and it started making noises. the flashing and noises were just from puttin the battery on its ridiculous! now i have to go out tonight with no phone... i look at my phone as a form of safety and i have no other handset to use. thanks samsung.

Excellant phone!!! had it 4 2 years now and i still love it...battery life is good and i have not encountered any of the negatives that have been previously stated. the most impresive thing about this phone is that i have failed to break it at all. iv gave it torture but no - it keeps livin on!!!!

I absolutely loved this phone when i first started using it the camera was good the space on the memory was amazing, was disappointed i couldn't multi-task on it :( Internet function sucks! but recently it has started to misbehave! screen goes completely black so i have to take my battery out. Camera stopped working and i just lose patience with the stupid thing. Really want to upgrade to a samsung f700 :D I don't recommend you buy this phone because to be honest it is pretty rubbish.

I've had this phone for 2 years now and I have been very happy with it. It has everything I need on it and is simple to use. The battery life is good, so is the camera. However, sometimes it can be difficult to get reception, especially in my area which has very poor signal.

OMG.! seriously ive used this phone for 4 years since it came out. When this phone first came it it was one of the highest standerd phones. i could fit 20songs on it and still have enough memory for 300 pictures. i used mine as an mp3 player as well as a phone. ive dropped mine down the toilet n frown it at walls and alsorts and it hasnt broken. i cant believe you guys. The battery life while listenin to music quite a bit can last upto 3days. without music 5 days. The screen you can see perfectly fine. and i need glasses for reading, i sujest you get yours looked at. it only changes when you turn the phone off because you havent saved the settings properly actually. The camera for me has never stopped working. if it has you've done something to it. fuctions maybe simple and boring but isnt every phone? memory isnt bad actually depends on what you want to use it for. the bluetooth, 3g, imode, and reception. your wrong there not just elexecent there amasing. the only reason you lot are greaffing this 4 year old phone is cause you genrally dont it and its not upto date. next time id sujest you to go for the latest addition of phone instead of an old one. 4 years my phone. not one problem. wonder why that is?

this phone seems good but the battery life is so short that i want to ask myself why i got it in the first place. beyond that, we have tried every store that we know (myself and a friend) and cannot seem to get a replacement. think im stuck for now until i can get a replacement. too bad all the positive features cannot be maximised.

I like the z320i except for the trauma trying to get it unlocked. I t would appear to be one of the most difficult phones to get unlocked

this phone was amazing when i first got it. Though for �250 was well overvalued. The internet on it is very limited and doesn't live up to my expectations. The ammount of music you can store on it though is pretty good. I have actually made my own tunes and ringtones and can put them as my ringtone which is a plus point. Just the other day though my camera and video camera on the z320i stopped working and it says the camera is disconected??? disconnected from what? doing my head in

Ive just finished an 18month contract with this phone, i loved the camera, i thought the camera was awesome alot better than my new samsung (d900i, so disappointed with this 1) but for last 3months of the contract it kept turning itself off when it felt like it, always reset ring tone without warning so you'd be in the middle of a crowded area and the whistle song would go off, GREAT FUN!

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!! This phone has been a thorn in my side for the last 18 months, but my contract has just renewed, so I'm finally free.... Free, I tell you!! I had a D500 on my last go, and was, overall quite pleased with it, and when I got the Z320i, gave the D500 to my partner. BIG mistake! I should have kept the D500 and given him the Z, but he saw the problems I was having with it, and so, kind of wisely, said no thank you. So I was stuck with it. O2, if you are reading this... It's an awful phone, it DOES reset it's self as and when it feels like it, and YES, your standard ring tones are old, boring and embarassing. You can't change the alarm melodies to anything half decent, you can't even turn off the camera shutter sound, so when you try to take an animal picture, for example, when you take the picture, your subject jumps or flee's and all you get is a picture of fuzzy stuff. It's predictive text memory is shocking, it only remembers up to 5 of your own words, and randomly forgets those as and when it wants. And the iMode feature? Don't even get me started.... You can not BUY a game for this phone, you have to RENT them from a pathetic list of suppliers on a monthly basis for around �3!!! The ONLY thing this phone has going for it, is the amount of pic's you can store, and that you can get a few full music tracks on it. That's it, nothing else. Just upgraded to a Sony Ericsson K800i, well, I'll play with the feature's for a week, and see how we go from there. I know it's another iMode, but I checked ahead of time with this one, you CAN buy games for it. A word of warning... Ladies and Gents, when an O2 shop assistant tells you, "Yes, this is the latest, everyone's getting one" STOP, go home, or to an internet cafe, look it up first, don't get stuck with a useless piece of expensive technology like I did. ;o)

this phone was absolutely amzing i would happily recomend this phone to any high-tech fan i have this phone at home and i must say it has never let me down. eventhough it hasn't got a memory card slot it's still great, i really like the i-mode on the samsung z320i because you can do practiccaly anything on it and get full plying song tracks and that is great for a non walkmwn phone so i really like the phone.
