It has a lot of shortcut keys


Bad Points

The ringtones Suck - download your own not to look like a clown
Cant ring and vibrate at the same time
Infrared is not great


General Comments

The Samsung E710 Phone is Outstanding. The camera quality is fantastic and the videos are also high quality for a phone. The ringtones are very loud but when the phone is closed and you are in an area of high noise you can hardly hear it which is also very bad that you can't have the phone on ring and vibrate simultaneously. The outer screen can be used as a view finder when the phone is shut which is well cool and good for pictures of yourself. The GPRS on the phone is really fast which makes sending and receiving pictures just as easy as text messages. The infra-red is not great however. Although it is good for transferring files with a pc, you can only send numbers between phones and the phone must be a Samsung. Not having Bluetooth is a downside but the phone is great. It is light and small and very attractive. The best deal in the UK is at www.vodafone.co.uk - Choose the online 100 tariff and it is a 12 month contract at £15 a month with 100 xnet mins and 50 free texts. Overall I would give the phone 8.5/10

    I too found that vibrate and melody failed to work together which was a disappointment. I then found out that you can have melody and vibrate simultaneously. It is simply a question of which ringtone you use. Many 40poly tones that are made, which I have downloaded, contain the vibrate function. Have a butchers around the net and make sure there 40poly before you download.

    I have the E715, the American counterpart to this model. The only major differences are lack of video and the outside screen is monochrome, but all my friends and I love it. I wonder if the software is different on mine because if you go to sound settings then alert type you choose vibrating and it will vib a couple times b4 ringing. As for the ringtones mentioned big pimpin’ by Jay-z has the vib function on most phones.

    Hello, I just wanna ask, where can I download some of these ringtones so the vibrating feature works well even when the phone is ringing?

  • magnum2k on 7th Sep 2004

    Hello, can you tell me a website where I can download some 40poly tones for this phone with vibrating alert on them.

    Best source. I recommend browsing from your phone as the main website is a joke.
