General Comments

Well admittedly I was attracted to this phone for it's sleekness - and after reading various other reviews I tend to agree - and what is with the silly tune when you are deleting something? I must have annoyed many people on tubes and at bus stops with it. Yes, yes, the backlight may look fetching however try and fall asleep with it in your room - every five seconds or so you'll think a police car is outside your window. I'm just waiting for the flip cover to snap off - make sure you get a cover for this phone also as tiny scratched are starting to appear. However if appearance is not your thing, then maybe you should invest in something a little more productive. The organiser is atrocious - my alarm won't go off at specified times, a horrible blue backlight eats up battery power like nothing else and you can't change the colour.
Spleen venting is a wonderful thing isn't it? Ok ok, so you've seen this little number in the window and it caught your eye? (Or maybe it was just the service light on the front which by the way looks like a huge eyelash). I do admit though, that reception has improved since I upgraded from my Nokia - oh the shame, the shame! How I miss the brilliant ease of the Nokia menu - faithful, faithful friend how I have foresaken you.
Well, it seems I have lost my virginity to Samsung (if that's possible)..
Did I mention battery life is shocking? Oh please, I'm getting a complex - must stop rambling...
