+ The product is a fantastic, good looking phone. It's very handy when you are out and about, looking good on you all the same. The features are impressive and always a notch above that my friends have on theirs :)
I do sometimes have trouble with the keypad touch screen feature, occasionally.

Score 9.0/10

+ excellent camera and video,it looks great and is and has really good features to personalise the screen layout , Ilike the touch screen aspect ,the handset is sleek yet handsome enough to be used by anyone.

- Sometimes the touch screen is a little to sensitive and it is to easy to get brought somewhere you dont want to go.alot of web sites don't support the handset when trying to download things like wallpapers and tones.The phone is a little heavy but it just takes a little getting used to.

Score 8.0/10

+ This product is very easy to use and I like the combination of push button and touch screen features. The internet access is very good. Excellent camera.

- The battery life is poor, although I find this is the case with most newer mobile phones. I also find sudden movement can cause the phone to switch itself off. My previous phone (Samsung U600) has some additional features which I used and enjoyed, e.g. vivid messaging and pre set templates.

+ 1. It looks awesome, and easy to personalise, e.g. Creating your own themes 2. Putting files on is simple 3. when connected to the computer it can still use the phone functions aswell as be charged.

- 1. It scratches really easily.
2. Really short talk time battery life.
3. The only earphones that fit are the ones supplied, which are uncomfortable.
Texting - 1. I keep sending texts by accident because of the touch screen pad.
It should have a conformation screen after you have written the text, ( like on Sony Ericssons)
2. when you accidentally press the cancel button when you are texting, it only gives the option to either save text in drafts or to cancel texts. Its should have an option to continue writing (like Sony Ericsson)
3. the feature of adding words, keeps saving the words put in with a capital letter at the start, which is annoying. Sony Ericsson will definatly be my only phone from now on.

+ The U900 is very easy to use. The touchpad is very accurate and smooth and its great how it reverts to whichever application you go into. I have the pink and it looks great. It is very slim and fits into the handbag easily. When the phone is closed it cannot take photo's or dial numbers by accident, so no messing around with having to lock the keypad. The picture quality is excellent, good camera. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone.

- The only bad point I have is that the volume even on maximum is quite quiet. It is fine to listen to music through the earphones but I do sometimes miss calls when it is in my handbag.

+ Very easy to use, looks good and has everything on it I need.
