    Good Points: Looks really modern. Catches everyones eye. Tiny. Unique.

    Bad Points: Battery does not last long. Always losing service and signal. Keeps freezing. Only store 10 texts. Calls keep cutting out.

    General comments: The Samsung A400 is such a unique eye opening mobile phone. Despite being an oldish version of Samsung, it's still got a modern look. Definately a mobile to have if you want to be different. Had endless problems with mine. The mobile is not designed to be used to such an extent! Sadly after 1 whole year, the mobile died on me, shame as i loved being an owner of such a stylish mobile. The model is hardly heard of so found it difficult receiving help to fix the mobile.

    This phone is a tr00 beast. I just found out that you can change the covers on this phone however it isn't easy! A phone to be seen with. I got it for just £99.99 on contract at just £21.99 a month. Great deal! :)

    Love this mobile phone so much. Nice to touch. With no dual LCD display, I don't have to worry about it being scratched since I'm such a careless person. I'd dropped this mobile phone for more ten times (no matter when it's flipped/not) and yet it still function as well as before. I bought the one with the colour-white pearl. Like this colour so so so much! This phone is unique compare to the other phones. You seldom see it in town and it's attractive. I did think of changing to a Nokia hp, but, ...

    I had the A400 since May this year. Mine was imported from Asia, as I couldn't fine the pearl & gold version here in the UK. The best way I described it is good things can come in small packages. It's light, compact, easy to use, and some pretty addictive games (for couple of days). But the battery doesn't last long, and call quality can be poor at times. It's got unusual features- calorie count, bio-something count, fatness count, etc... Although I think that is for both sexes, but the features ...

    The Samsung A400 is not the best phone in the world by far. It looks really nice and is quite unique but it has fundamental flaws, such as the battery i.e it doesn't even last two days in a row, it doesn't vibrate when u get a message which is really anoying and finally it's so quite when it rings i miss the call most of the time/or the txt message. If you want my opinion, don't buy it!

    The Samsung A400 mobile phone - love it or leave it. If you want to melt in to the unoriginal, unexciting world of freebie-looking Nokia phones, welcome to the status quo. However, if you want a fun-to-show-off, well-advanced, well-rounded, and extremely hot looking phone, look around for an A-400 by Samsung.

    I am very happy with my Samsung a400 ladyphone. It's not bulky, the battery lasts, I even got an extra battery. Only bad thing is that you can't go directly to your mob.nr. list. First you have to type the first letter and then it'll give a list of people who's name start with that letter. Very nice hotkey functions and nice menus. Has snake and some gamble games.

    The samsung A400 mobile phone has style oozing out of it - it's classy. Apart from the girly screensavers, the volume not being so loud, it's a good phone. All we need now are sites for the samsung A400 ringtones.

    Well, the Samsung A400 is one little beauty of a mobile phone. It measures just 70mm(h)x49mm(w)x22mm(d) which makes it the smallest phone in the world at the moment. It's even smaller than the motorola v50 for those who have never had the opportunity of holding one. i have only praise for this phone. it comes with 7 games, wap, infra red, vibrate alert and even a calorie counter, biorythym and fatness meter. the signal strength is very good in areas of good reception but in areas of bad receptio ...

    THE SAMSUNG A400 MOBILE PHONE IS WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE OF $24.99 IN THE UNITED STATES. EVEN WITH THE HEAVY DUTY LITHIUM ION BATTERY ITS WEIGHT IS WELL WITHIN THE REALM OF REASON. I HAVE RATHER LARGE HANDS AND THE BUTTONS ARE CLEARLY LARGE ENOUGH FOR MY USE. THIS PHONE COULD BE IMPROVED IF THEY WOULD ONLY PLACE AN OUSIDE DISPLAY FOR SIGNAL STRENGTH, BATTERY STRENGTH AND CALLER ID ETC.

    I have wanted a Samsung A400 mobile phone since it was launched but thought the price was a little steep and i still had my Nokia 3330. My nokia broke though and my boyfriend bought me this gorgeous little phone. Getting it was a nightmare though. It's only available at the link. Being in Manchester's Market Street we went to that store first and the assistant checked via his PC that nowhere in greater manchester other than Rochdale had it and they only had four left. Having said that, we went ...

    I've owned the 8500 and just switched over to the Samsung A400 mobile phone. The A400 is slimmer and more light weight than it's predecessor the 8500. The battery life is comparable to other phones with G3 Technology that Sprint offers. It has most of the features of the 8500, and then some! The GPS, if you have support for it in your area (I don't :(), is an awesome feature to have. The wireless web browser is faster than the 8500, and that's great because the time you spend on the wireless we ...

    Overall the A400 from Samsung is a great mobile phone. It looks toward the future of cell phones with the built-in GPS (Global Positioning System). The looks and styling of the phone are very sleak, yet can withstand a user that is a little more rough with their phone. It's battery lasts an impressive 3.6 hrs. of talk time, and 7 days standby (in digital mode) and weighing in at an amazing 3.5 ounces I think that this phone is a winner!

    This little stylish Samsung A400 mobile phone looks cool in your hands and is priced very good for such a nice looking phone, i like the features that the phone has such as 7 games and Bio Rhythem, calorie and fatness. but i must add that there is a very low battery life on these phones!

    The Samsung A400 mobile phone is fairly new in the USA and I have been having a hard time finding accessories, a black Body Glove case would be nice. This and the battery life aside, it's a great little phone, easy to loose (hence the need for a case) but the features that it has more than make up for this.

    I have used Nokia 3310, 8210, Siemens SL45, Samsung A200, but never felt as comfortable like having my Samsung A400 mobile phone. It may need the ring tones like samsung N620 and thereafter it will be the world's No.1 hand set.

    The samsung A400 mobile phone features Snake, Mole, Sniper, Casino, Blackjack, Roulette and Othello as the games. You can measure how fat you are in the Life section.
