Score 7.0/10

+ I really liked the ipod style navigation, like how you can turn the wheel to navigate. The sound quality of the phone is also fantastic.

- There aren't any amazing features that really made the phone 'different' and the camera quality is relatively poor.

Pocket Lint expert review

Samsung's latest music phone promises to bring the sounds directly to you with a built-in speaker developed by Bang & Olusfen, but can it perform?
