The Samsung S8300 is the worst phone I have ever owned. Samsung phone development seems to have gone backwards. I even emailed Samsung to ask if they did any product testing before they launched this model because the faults are so obvious within ten minutes of using it. They must have been so desperate to get it to market that they just didn't bother.
I've given up texting people now - it takes too long! The predictive text is just a joke. There are too many problems to list them all but I'd say that the most irratating one is that when you change a word and then put a punctuation mark after it - it reverts back to the original word.
The fake call button at the side is also really annoying. I can't see much use for this feature; however, when it is in my handbag it gets pressed and starts ringing all the time.
The phone seems to have a mind of its own - everytime I get it out of my bag it is doing something different. Part of the touch screen doesn't seem to work either so I've got the music player icon constantly stuck on my screen.
Do not buy this phone!!
