Bad Points

Vodafone has crippled this phone!


General Comments

As I had owned Samsung E700 before, I ordered this one with confidence and just couldn't believe what Vodafone has done with it!

Here I am, holding one of the most advanced mobiles on the market and also one of the most expensive ones, yet I can not even do the simplest of things such as changing the color scheme! Instead, in place of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen (E700), I have to look at the ugly Vodafone color scheme, plain white background, simplified icons and plain font... And that is only the beginning. Even though this is a pay monthly phone, Vodafone has locked it and censured virtually everything. It is difficult to get around their home page, and as I hear/read, it is even more difficult to upload games, tones or anything else unless it is done through the Vodafone Live site.

Needless to say, I am not putting up with this and will be returning the phone but will also migrate to some other more sensible network.

P.S.
There is a design fault on these: The flash LED gets too close to plastic frame when the phone is fully opened and light blue haze will appear in the lower left corner of the photos.

    Yes I agree with you, I had the Samsung T100 and when my contract ran out joined vodafone and got the Samsung E710, boy are the graphics ugly, Vodafone have killed this lovely phone with their gray and red software.
    I have now sold my T100 and a couple of other thing to buy the samsung E700, it is fab!! Lovely samsung software on it. I will be selling the E710 as soon as my contract ends as it's living in its box, unused.
    PS Anyone know if the E710 is available SIM free?????
