The phone is easy to use, small and compact.
Limited ring tones and cannot work out if I can assign different ring tones for different callers. Also have not been able to change the ring tone to one of my choice on text messages. Not just me, sought the help of some keen moby users and they could not help me out on this one either. When text messages come through unless you acknowledge receipt it repeats the warning over and over.....Seems to delete some sent messages, which is a bit confusing.

phone is compact and small enough to fit into my lifestyle. easy to use as it is an easy crossover from old samsung. different modes means can easily swithc from silent modes to loud. password to private areas prevents unwanted access to personal items eg messages
memory is tiny compared to old phone. can only hold two songs and a few films and pictures. old samsung held hundred pictures five or so films a minute long and thirteen songs. larger memory would put this phone on top of everything else. screen needs more protection as it is following same road as old samsung, the screen splits inside and discolours the screen till completly white.

style and camera
a bit long winded when sending texts far too many screens - my previous Samsung was two oks and gone this is at least five despite the shortcuts and the battery lasts nowhere near as long

Looks good, battery lasts well, sound quality very good overall excellent value for the money.
Camera quality is very average, strange limit on MP3 playlists (maximum 4 playlist with 30 files in each - even though the optional SD card takes upto 2Gb), earphones are poorly designed & fall out of your ears - you can't use standard earphones either. Slightly fiddley menus make it hard to find the setting you need.

Ease of use and looks girly.
The web browser central button - keep pressing by mistake and going into the browser. On most other phones this key is to confirm things.

Sleek, small, light, looks good! Not too expensive but a good basic phone with lots of features
Takes a while to send a text- need to go through lots of screens

If you are used to speed texting you can find that alot of words end up spelt wrong as the phone is slower to add the letters than what iam used to.

There are not many bad points about this phone just that the battery could last a bit longer

Rob, Leicestershire
The phone is very easy to use. The menus are clear and easy to navigate. The screen is quite large and text is easy to read.
The USB connection with the supplied software does not work on one of my computers although I can access the SD card as a removable disk therefore I can add and remove music, video and images OK so it's not a big problem. I use the Music player a lot and find that having to create Playlists is annoying also there are only 4 Playlists available. I cannot play "continuous" album tracks direct from the SD Card.

Looks nice and quite easy to work.
Volume of ring tone not loud enough. Not as many features as other phones I've had. Bluetooth doesn't seem to pick up anything, especially ring tones, says not enough memory. Didn't come with as many accessories as was told it was, i.e. headphones, wire to connect to computer.

I bought this pink J700 for my wife and was so impressed by it I bought a black one. Whilst we are still finding our way round the phone, I think I can safely say that this is the best mobile we have had. Great screen, navigation easy, looks good etc. For the price, and what comes with it, the J700 will take some beating. Nice one Samsung!!!!
The only negative point, for me, is the location of the volume control which can be easily caught when using the phone and causes the person at the other end to loose your conversation. Just requires a spot of retraining myself on how to hold a mobile.

Quality of camera not as good as it needs to be. Not much choice of ringtones included compared to my old Motorola.

small, music sounds good, looks good, battery life isnt too bad.
when i try to use the camera the phone shuts down and comes back on, it also takes too long to take the photograph. there is no flash. there is no actually silent, there is only one mute sttin but it still beeps when you get a missed call and vibrates when you send a text.

Really Easy To Use. Looks Geat. Very Realiable.
If you press the middle (silver) button by mistake it takes you straight onto the internet, this is the only thing that i would change about the phone. Camera is not the best quality but never had problems with it.

The J700 is very basic ideal for someone who doesn't have a lot going on in there life
You have to go through loads of screens before your text is sent Also no software to attach to a pc to download & upload music or pictures Not enough memory for music,Photo's etc took all of 2 full length songs!!
