This phone is amazing. I have had it for years and I love it. If you want a phone that is going to work perfectly and not fail to do what you want, get the Samsung Monte. If you want a phone that will break down, screw the battery etc etc...get an android and/or ''the new (enter phone name here)'' Not kidding. Androids may have other things, but you don't really need them. And lets face it...they don't last long. If you want a permanent phone- here it is! Its comfortable to hold, it looks great, works great and the reception is amazing! Its a beautiful phone that works great.
I would like to point out:
-The qwerty keyboard is not EVERYTHING and it would be a shame to give up on buying it just for that. I personaly find that kind of keyboard uncomfortable.
-Please, if you want to know the TRUTH about this phone don't read what ''Monte hater'' worte. Thats bulls**t and honestly made me laugh.
-The battery life depends on how you treat this phone. If charged correctly it lasts for days even if you use it nonstop.
-Its very easy to use
-Not going to let you down
Thanx for reading :)
Oh and if you have the phone already...check this out:
*#7353# Not kidding, it works. Write it down as if typing a number and don't click anything else. Check out what appears :)
Nice phone if you are looking for a temporary phone else DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!
Been using it for 6 months the only good thing about it is the music player.
Cannot take pictures from front camera.
Deletes contacts constantly.
Only saves texts to sim.
Its a Budget phone.Its good in cost(3g,WiFi,touch,etc in low cost).it might b good if better features other than some useless features in it. GPRS is ok,wifi is good. good battery backup,good touch interface,Picasa,gmail,gmap,search,are good, youtube streaming is not good(voice breakage). No skype support.For 7000 its best gadget in market unless you invest more.
This is average phone for multimedia users ( Playing music, Video etc..)
Speaker sound is low. Camera work fine under high light, very poor in low light condition.
Battery stay around 2 days at just above average uses.
Task manager is worst.
Video Player is worst only plays .3gp format with low resolution.
its such a gud phone i evr seen in this price. im satisfied with all the features. camera is good . and also having 3G,WI-Fi is good. The internet is fairly good . resolution of the camera is very gud .i think frnt camera is the main advantage in this.
Those who need a nice lookin phone they may go for monte... else better get something els....because the features are worst. we cant run two applications simultaneously lik nokia.. the ui speed is very lowwwwwwwwwwww.. 3G jus for name sake.camera also average only. better than the worst.
It's very laggy and i hate lag
the browser does not shows full sites only mobile sites (not enough memory)
does not supports skype ):
can't be updated officially from samsung
no flash !!
other than that it's a very nice phone and the price is good
the phone is nice but still lacks of other software. No O.S is the big disadvantage. The most strange thing in my phone it has that it says it has 200 mb inbuilt memory bt it is 320 mb may be i had got the othersome. but its nice. Its camera is not good. Lookwise it looks awesome no theme no upgradation makes it a big loser in premium market.
This mobile has 3g only for telling, it not support video calling, and also it not support themes and many other software and games. it support only .jar files. If you want to buy mobile , go to Nokia 5800 its standrad company and all software supported in that. i want to see monte, any body want to buy contact me on jayesh11prmr@gmail.com
its a good phone and also a very handy phone.it is cheap phone that having 3g and wifi.it also have a gps system and inbuilt google map and google mail.itis fully a multimedia phone .when you travelling you may listen music and play videos.it has 16 gb expandable memory and 220 mb internel memory.overall good.
is one of the best devices 2010 and I've been I want to buy a Nokia 5800 and Lenny and I found him 4 types and price-Ghali, but Monte newer and better than I would recommend anyone who wants to buy a mobile phone buy is top of the beauty and magnificence best what produced by Samsung

I was looking for a phone with wifi. Samsung became my ultimate choice so i went to the sowroom and after looking a couple of phone i recok monte. my eye caught its eye catching view. but theres no application for this phone. i hav searched every where. the appliocation also does not comes to main menue. we need to go to games folder to acess it. this must be improved
I love this phone, it has a beauty design, a good interface, well camera, and the best thing is it's battery it llongs during days, However, as it has no android, windows,ios, etc. there a little applications, In addition to this I can say that the built-in web surfing application is horrible(no qwerty,it says some times that is has the phone memory full i can't surf the complete page, etc), on the other hand using opera mini is excelent.
used it for more than a year and loved it!!!
The samsung monte is a good phone the camera is excelent the internet is easy and very useful. But the battery life sucks!! And the lack off no qwerty keyboard lets the phone down. All in all it is a good phone but definetly room for some improvment!
I got the phone and the quality of the mp3 player is the worst.
I used to have a Sonny Ericsson and, although it was much cheaper, it has an excellent sound and execent bass .
There is now way to manually equalize the music.
If anybody knows how to use another mp3 player insted of the one that comes with the thelephone let me know please.
I'm really dissapointed with it.
I have to use another mp3 player to get good sound.
Recently got this phone, really nice with everything you need really, Wi-Fi, 3G, camera, apps, music, radio, just all you need from a phone really.
The internet is fairly good, haven't tried it out fully yet but it's pretty nice so far, the Facebook app isn't as good as I expected though, you can't like things and you only see status updates.
The camera is fairly bad quality but it's good for quick snaps and has video too.
The music and radio are very nice, the sound quality is pretty good and the radio works great.
With the texting and calling, everything is great apart from the keypad, you just get the small keypad on original phones and no QWERTY style one so it's a bit slow for typing.
Its have all the thing which you wants (Except Multitasking), this phone will not let you down, In pictures it may be not looking impressive but physically its having good model, Its a feature rich phone in suitable and affordable price. Touch is very responsive and phone performance is also good (not a slow one).
got this phone 2 days ago. interface is quick, no lags. response is good. it's great all in all. compare to other touchcreen with the same price tag. for me this is the best in terms of UI and response. downside of this phone is the placement of the speakers and it wont go qwerty when you do a text massage or type an address at the address bar of the built-in browse.
I was looking for a touch phone with WIFI and GPS from a long time, I liked Nokia 5800 but it was around 14k (Indian rupee). Bingo! Monte was released. In reviews I din like its picture but in hand it was superb, the phone is overall good and looks good too, See I am not a critic at all but deeming to my likes and dislikes I was able to form some conclusions about my phone and‘ll like to share some: Usability : Good but not good for full time messaging freeks Looks: pretty good, menus are good looking but most of them are useless (for me at least).Display is awesome. We‘ll get a good leather pouch, to hide phone’s fragility (hehe). Widgets: we get a pretty decent set of widgets which can be danced over the desktop, widgets are very handy and useful but one thing, nothing related to Samsung none of the sites allow easy upload of pics from mobile. and abt the desktop: you get three of them which ‘ll have three different wallpapers, that’s very good as you can hide your girlfriends pic in one desktop :) but I would have liken it more if it allowed a broad pic as wallpaper stretched across three desktops. Camera : good, very good its a typical Samsung cam, good colors textures really good if light is correct, but at times a bit shaky , and night mode is also crisp so overall picturing is better than good in Monte Video Cam: hmm this I din use to a broader extend but its really good till what I have known, I played it in system too, decent for a mobile cam. Movies are crisp Applications : since our menu is not sufficient we ‘ll surely go for apps, so we have plenty of java apps which can be used, but here we cannot use our screen fully as the screen size is not standardized so some space is eaten by the console part, but still that is adjustable Connectivity: only one word awesome superb WIFI, EDGE and range coverage, AGPS may not be that accurate as GPS but its still more than enough for use in a phone. Battery: a high packed phone is useful only if its battery stays, 7 out of 10 for battery, sometimes it defy but ok Sound: less than Sony phones but enough, music quality is good Video player: only two formats supported .3gp and .mp3, here is the betrayal, I wanted to c movies in my phone but this doesn’t seem to support video files of high length, the biggest video I saw was of 46 mins I tried with three four movies of length 1:30 and above it said format not supported but I used Samsung software only to convert those. one more thing you tube widget is really good and fast, I liked the twitter app also, my bro used the facebook app and he liked it. so overall its a nice phone with a lil patching required please gmail me for any other queries id : feelthescintillation if I went wrong somewhere please point me I ll like to correct mylself J cheers…sij
hey guys, this phone is just excellent with all the things you need and at an affordable price too. It has some really good features and one of the best mobiles samsung has really produced with 3G, WI FI, and a really cool 3.2 mp camera and has a front censor also to enable video calling. So, overall its an excellent phone and worth penny, that will definitely suit your pocket.
Hey this one of the best phone which samsung has ever released and I really like the look and it is handy and what I wanted was a good Internet connnectivity
So I can surf net abd watch youtube Videos,so I would suggest you to go for this phone as I would rate this phone 9 out of 10.
Its a gud phone nice luking, model is very gud in affortable price . resolution of the camera is very gud picture clarity is nice.sound is not so high in normal but gud . but in head phone it is gud to hear. lots of features r packed and comes with this mobile. battery life is gud. but dont know how much time it stand during hearing songstotally its a fun packed experience to have.
its a nice,affordable,cool phone. it has every facility almost. its better than nokia 5230 which doesnt have front camera and wi-fi. it is lower than nokia 5800. but when it comes to pricie its reasonably priced. its a good start to samsung in 3g phones.
