Samsung U700 Phone Review by 3G.co.uk

3G's 30 Second Comment

The U600 had no 3G but the newer U700 has 3G and even faster HSDPA. That surely makes it a no brainer ?

Slick Slim Samsung

The mirrored exterior and bright 256,000-colour display coupled with its slick ultra-slim build make the Samsung U700 extremely easy on the eye. The actual phone we reviewed was the U700V ( Vodafone model ).
However, its smart appearance also makes it susceptible to the odd finger smudge. The sliding mechanism feels secure, but as with its predecessor, the U600, the touch-sensitive soft keys are an acquired taste. Samsung has added a specified note to each key (when played from one to 10, it plays a scale) to indicate a key press, but the tones are downright irritating and you’ll soon be switching to silent.

3G HSDPA Included

For those with an observant eye, you may also notice that the U700V is slightly thicker than the U600, albeit a mere 1mm, and a whole 5g heavier. Having maintained its super-slim appearance, the U700V also boasts additional HSDPA – the U600 didn’t even manage 3G. Subscribe to Mobile TV and the U700V’s on-board HSDPA will allow you to enjoy fast, high-quality streaming.

The soft key on the right-hand side of the fascia when in idle mode takes you directly to Vodafone Live!.
