Qwerty keyboard quite fiddly and very frustrated about touch screen not responding.
General Comments
Most upset at touch screen not responding to answer and end calls - so much so that I wanted to change to a different model, but of course I was out of the 14 day period! (Thought it was just me getting used to it at first but it became apparent it was the phone.) Phoned customer services who told me that they had had no complaints about this model and told me to take it back to the shop for repair. Took it back to the shop and they told me the same - also said if it's my fault would not be covered under the warranty they gave me! Still waiting for it over 2 weeks later!
Really wish I'd chosen another model!!!

When the Korean GOD awake, he gives us... the Samsung Ultra Smart
Lorsque le Dieu Samsung se réveille? Ultra Smart F700 ... Home Page: Sigh, Look at the f700's UI. Of COURSE Samsung could put that thing out in a month, who couldn't? It's all very old hat.

I agree with this review because... I also have the Samsung f700 and the touch screen is awful. Not so much of a problem when dialling numbers but a real pain when telephone banking and you're 15 digits into your 16 digit card number and (for example) you press 2 and it registers as 5. Also contrary to another review, the camera is very poor. Picture quality is fine but it takes about 5-6 seconds to take a photo.
