This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides tri-band connectivity (900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). Powered by GPRS/EDGE Class 10 (Enhanced Data for Global Evolution) technology, this phone makes information exchange a breeze by offering immediate mobile connectivity.

The phone will hold up to 1000 contact entries and it features a call list that remembers your 30 most recent missed, received and dialed calls. In addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

The unique UMenu feature gives you one-click access for a personalized selection of your most frequently used phone functions. Just click on the top button of the navigation scroll to recall these functions or modify them when your priority change. The uTrack function significantly increases your chances of recovering a lost or stolen phone by sending an SMS message to a pre-designated number to alert you of when your mobile's SIM card is changed as well as its location.

Customer Reviews

Major disappointment
One star for cute, but that's it. It was broken from the start: there was something wrong with the listening device and I couldn't hear anything, but others could hear me. Had it fixed only to discover the earpiece didn't work either. The battery only lasted some 56 hrs in standby mode, not the 250 advertised. 3 weeks later the sliding feature didn't work anymore, the keypad didn't automatically lock itself up, all my incoming calls were being rejected (had to call EVERYONE back, it was costing me a fortune) and the battery at that point only lasted about 36 hrs standby mode and, beleive or not, about 30 min talk time. Plus, it won't open some of the images and ringtones I had on my micro SD from my old Nokia. Right now I'm asking to return it and a refund.

Cool phone
This phone is really cool looking. Though it can't compete today's smart phones, it really has lot of good features with vibrant display.

Samsung review
If you are looking for a good camera phone. This is not the one. The picture & video quality is very poor.
