+ The phone is nice looking and the sound quality is excellent.

- A few specific things bothered me so much that I started using my old phone (Nokia 8800) again. Text messaging is a nightmare, the clear key is on the touch sensitive keypad and you can either delete one letter per second or the whole message at once. You can't adjust the snooze time on the alarm, so it's every 5 minutes or nothing. The camera is totally useless in the dark, even with the flash on the pics are grainy and always blurry because the delay between your click and the picture actually being taken is a good few seconds. Weird.

- The touch-pad design is great, but can be a little frustrating until you get used to it. A little too sensitive for my big muckle hands (Scottish term!). The Samsung menu system can appear complicated and counter-intuitive in places.

+ A very sturdy, good looking phone with a suprisingly good camera and wide range of features. Still a fresh design and reliable phone, overall one of the best i've owned.

- Although the touch sensitive buttons are very cool, they are also ver sensitive, eg if your writing a message and gently brush the 'phone down' button your message is lost and you have to start over. This happens in other situations, eg when your on the phone, using the camera etc.

MP3 player is good, with the ability for bluetooth speakers.
Touch buttons are good most of the time.

- In the rain, touch buttons dont react well.
When slided, the phone feels loose.
Quite slow when accessing a folder with alot of pictures.

+ The touch screen is easy to use and it looks stylish. The cameras a good quality and the keypads easy to text with, it also has good sound quality.

- The touch screen can be annoying when texting as its easy to flick your hand against the cancel button and exit the screen meaning you have to start again.

+ The actual phone looks very stylish with the sleak black gloss finish.

- Little things, like unable to make your own text alert tones, and the touch buttons being to sensative at first, but you do get used to them.

Manufacturer's Description

Keep unexpected moments.
The Samsung E900 comes decked out with a 2 Megapixel camera so that you can snap away when unexpected moments pop up. Using a CMOS image sensor, comparable to most dedicated digital cameras, the Samsung E900 takes brilliant JPEG photos. Flash and 4x digital zoom ensures that your pictures will come out looking great. There is even a small mirror by the camera lens, to ensure that all your self-portraits will be perfectly framed and in the shot. Enjoy accurate and vibrant colours as you capture the world around you with your camera phone. Take as many photographs as you want. With 80 MB of built-in memory and additional storage via Micro SD, you can click away and store all your photos on your phone. Use MMS, USB, and Bluetooth to share your photos with others, or print out your photos easily via Bluetooth’s wireless printer.

Stay in touch.
One glance at the Samsung E900 and you know you are dealing with an innovative and cutting edge mobile phone. The front face of the phone is a sleek surface with a touch-sensitive control pad. The futuristic touch screen is a stroke of genius, eliminating the need for excessive protruding buttons, and allowing the mobile phone to have a glossy and polished surface. Enjoy the phone’s multi features; with just a few taps of the finger, manoeuvring through the Samsung E900’s menus and features is a breeze.

Discover the future look of simplicity.
The Samsung E900 has a futuristic look with a design of sophisticated simplicity. Its refined two-tone colour in black and slate gives it a sleek look, inviting you to caress the glass-like touchscreen keypad where excessive buttons are eliminated for a minimalist design. This slider phone weighs only 93 grams and measures a mere 93×45×16.5 mm, giving it a slim and compact form that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand when you need it, and slips comfortably into your pocket when you don’t. Slide up the phone to reveal perfectly flush buttons with a larger surface area for a great one-handed digital dexterity. The slim casing and ergonomic slide-up design place the buttons, which have a good solid click to them, right under your fingertips. The Samsung E900 houses all you need in a fashionable exterior, that is designed to look good and perform even better.
