Good Points

Nice colour screen.
Good sound.
Good mic and speaker.


Bad Points

Awful text input interface.
Defaults to upper case text.
Too bulky for trouser pockets.
The worst organizer I ever used on a phone.
Poor contact management.


General Comments

What can I say? I just spent 390 euros on ebay for this disaster of a phone.

The SMS text interface on the Samsung P400 is awful : defaults to UPPER CASE.

The organizer doesn't even allow you to specify meeting type or duration. You can't edit meeting times in the calendar. The outlook sync is slow and unreliable.

The sound is good. The camera is passable. The rotating screen is well, unnecessary IMO.

No apparent way to set default phone numbers for contacts with multiple contact points. You can even "phone" their email address ...

    I disagree with this review. This phone is bulky i admit it but the rotating screen does have a purpose. Once you open the phone up and rotate the screen and close it with the screen facing outside it acts as an external display allowing you to view incoming calls and take pictures with the phone closed. It is pricey but it's worth the money but Bluetooth should have been included with the money you are paying for this phone. I also think this phone is slightly better than the P400 as it has the addition of triband.

    Are you joking? the ability to swivel the screen doing something you do once in a blue moon is better than basic SW functionality?? BTW, this review *was* of the P400.

    I disagree with what you said about the camera. The fact that it's only 'passble'. I think it's far better then cameras that are on other phones. For example, the 7250i. I think the P400 has far better image quality. About the SMS interface, one button changes it to lower case, does this really matter? The rotating camera is a great extra to the phone, it's a lot easier to take photos using it, it's far better then pointing your phone at it, but that's just my opinion.
