Anonymous, “Switched on, female, professional”

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.

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.

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.

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.
