IMPROVE THE PHONE QUALITY

Phone owned for

I really appreciate Samsung mobile phones and that is why I bought my own sgh-e250 whose IMEI number is 355365 01 966875 /3. I like all the functions of the phone, like the camera, bluetooth and mp3 music player, but I have three problems with the phone and they are:
1. POOR BATTERY LIFE
2. UNABLE TO BROWSE WITH THE WAP
3. THE MP3 MUSIC PLAYER IS NOT AUDIBLE ENOUGH
Please do something about the above mentioned complaints because I still want to patronise SAMSUNG.

Okie-Dokie...!!

Phone owned for

Well, i was very excited when i first bought this mobile.. looks brilliant with its sleek new design.
But i was not satisfied with its Big Font, limited themes and Image/Video resolution.
It is not very user friendly when it comes to its UI. sometimes it even confuses me.
No issues about the mp3 & FM voice clarity.

Nice Stylish slim slider phone (looks like E900). Battery life is not satiffactory & posses same old java problem in samsung phones.Samsung should rectify this problem immediately or give a patch to remove. Menu font too large can't decrease it it scrolls even there is a large screen, can't play mp3 from memory card.Should have bundles usb cable.
For its price with mp3/mp4/aac/Bluetooth/usb/gprs/edge/fm radio/sd card option ... great deal it is which is under $150.

Pretty ok

Phone owned for

I came got this phone from after a Panasonic VS6 flip so its quite a detour. It aint got a VS6 screen (2million colours) but it makes up for this in other ways.

I really like it to be honest.

Never really thought of the deal of an mp3 on a mobile but this has sold me.

The radio - tops ! Slider - these are interesting designs...

Its a great little phone.

Lastly, I was onto an independant mobile phone shop recent' and mentioned the phone to him he asked how much I got it for - £69.99 apart from being impressed he said that the phone is better than the D900..in his opinion and considering he sees a few phones in his daytime activities you can take that and this; IT IS A GREAT BUY !

Average budget phone

Phone owned for

I have this cell phone for the past 2 months. The Sound of the Lodspeaker is very low. I can barely hear it when the TV is turned on. But the sound of the Handsfree is quite good. It is loud but it does not have the sharp crisp bass that the Sony Ericsson Walkman phones offers.
The FM Radio is also good. The feature that amazed me was the Bluetooth recieving speed. Its Blazing fast believe me. The display is very small and dim. It can play MP4 format but it looks very Pixelated and dim.
The microSD Card comes handy if you are running out of space. I have a 128 MB Card. The VGA Camera it has is of average quality. It also records video in MP4 Format however it doesnt look like one. Its even bad than 3GP..!!
It is a average phone for the people above 20-25(thats what I think after buying it)

better than many

Phone owned for

I bought this phone a week back and I find it very handy. The mp3 player is user friendly, the sound fantastic. The FM radio is also very clear. The issue of having/not having a data cable can be sorted using a bluetooth USB port, which I am using for transferring songs from my PC. It costs roughly US$ 10 or so. The only problem is the headphone, which will cause headaches if it is damaged. But there is no harm in getting a bit cautious in handling.

samsung e250 - good but it could have been better

Phone owned for

I have had the e250 for about a week now and generally it seems to be a very good phone. It looks good in black as a slider. It has a good music player and fm radio. It has a camera, can send texts and receive emails and it also makes phone calls. Amazing! Unfortunately there are a few silly little thing that had to be taken into account when I rated this phone. First the music player, the internal memory is only big enough to store one track so you need to buy a microSD memory card. There is no usb lead supplied with the phone so you either have to buy one or a dongle if you actually want to be able to transfer tracks onto the phone. You can only listen to the music through supplied headphones which, without hyperbole, are rubbish: large ones that make your ears ache after about ten minutes. I know from experience that samsung can supply very good earphones as I own one of their mp3 players which came with the best earphones I have ever experienced why the couldn't supply it with these I do not know. Also you can only listen to tracks that are attatched to the playlists which there are only four of with a maximum size of 30 tracks. Why couldn't I just listen to my music straight from the folder, strange! The speaker in the phone is actually very good for a small speaker, obviously it is tinny but it is quite loud and clear. The fm radio is great when you can get reception using the supplied earphones which is to be frank rare.
Now for the camera, it can take pictures and videos which is great but the resolution is only vga (0.3mp)so obviously you could only print out relatively small photos with it on your computer (after you've bought dongle or usb lead). Also very little movemnt causes blur when fully zoomed in it is very hard to keep still enough to take photo. This is because it is not an optical zoom all the camera does is show you fewer of the pixels it is seeing so it is basically a small section of the photo you would have taken anyway in a smaller resolution.
Texting is one of the boneses with this phone the t9 predictive text is great and gets 90% of words you want without a hitch. Punctuation is a problem though everytime I do a text with an exclamtion mark I have to figure out how I do it. You have to press some buttons twice or something, weird.
The actual calling is great with awesome reception and great sound quality. The games are ok but to get decent ones you have to pay £4.50 from the samsung website and they actually aren't that good. DO NOT BUY BAND OF BROTHERS IT IS RUBBISH.
Basically do not get me wrong this phone is a good phone but if samsung had put just a little more effort in it could have been a great phone.

just fine

Phone owned for

I dont care what others say, but i think its a very good phone for its price. I just wish it had an infared feature with it. Cant complain about sound for i can imagine so small speakers built in it. The best part is that it is just right for my eyesight. I can say "perfect" good fonts and visivility. Thanks Samsung......

Nice phone on price range of 7000/- Rs.

Phone owned for

photo caller ID, mms, bluetooth, gprs, FM, MP3 with VGA camera. Who wants more than this.
This very nice phone for people where camera is not important and camera is hidden so it is allowed in offices too.

It has nice design, look and slide factors. but u can't assign mp3 as message tones is not requirement i think so. U can assign any mp3 as ringtones.

its not that good, it a little bad

Phone owned for

the design was slick, modern, slim. i like the touch of the exterior designs but on the inside features, hmm the video is so slow and blurry, when i move right or left, it will not move as you move. About the cam, its alright but i like it sharp and it has no nightmode, you can shot only at daylight. fm is good u can easily manipulate it but i also like to hear without my earphone. the speaker is very poor.

Also, unlike nokia its not that userfriendly.

But above all i really like it!!!! when u change what i really dont like,,
