Excellent – In 6 months time I will try and do another review for this phone but since I have had this phone for about 2 and a half weeks now I am going to be doing my review. The phone is great for people wanting their first touch screen phone because the menus are easy to follow and the phone does what it is designed to do very well. This is my first touch… Read more
screen phone and I text a lot and its wonderful being able to text touching a screen, not a phone. I have had nokia's for 15 years and I am very happy with this phone. Do get a scratch proof cover for the phone though so the phone will not scratch on the cover if you drop it. Its a great touch screen phone suited for people that have not had a touch screen phone before Nothing so far - all is great
Good – Great value for money. I bought this phone for my wife who is not very mobile/gadget savy. She had it humming in a couple of days and is now using it like she always had one. As an introduction to the touch phone technology it is great. The inbuilt camera works great and saving accessing the files is easy through the menus. We have it loaded with… Read more
music which is played through the cars radio via bluetooth. The phone automatically links with the radio when it rings. There are some great deals around on this phone, my wife is extrememly happy using it which in itself makes it great value for me. When it is time to upgrade renew the wife will be able to moove seamlessly to a top end unit if she wants, personally I,d buy another one of these. Very stylish looking unit, easy to handle. Menus are easy to learn and logical in execution. Easy to set up function like phone book. Battery life OK for this type of phone. Bluetooth setup easy. Sound good. Some reviews I have read said the phone dropped out on calls, I have experienced no problems. The finger drag and slide is a bit precious, you need to to take the time to get used to it and be very precise when using it. This also impacts on the use of the widget.
Good – A great modern phone with all the features a person would need, even a few you won't. It has a camera, bluetooth, memory card, videocall, music player and much more. A great phone if you enjoy making use of all the technology and quite a common accessory among my friends a family. Becoming increasingly popular. Very stylish with lots of modern… Read more
features and fun to use being touch screen. Good quality and reasonably easy to use. May not be ideal for all as the touchscreen surface gets very dirty easily and beocmes covered in fingerprints which never quite clean away.
Also for people who are not good with technology they mightn't enjoy it being touchscreen or if you are not up with technology you might want somethign really basic although it is quite easy to use.
The screen does also get scratched easy so you might need a cover.
Good – I've had this phone for about 4 months, i found at start it was weird to use a touch screen because I had never used one before but after a while I got use to it and i now know how to use it. Its great because i get free facebook on my phone now and all I have to do is recharge a $30 cap and I have credit for weeks. Its great on this phone because… Read more
my text's are only 1c which great because I use my phone alot. This phone is very strong, I have dropped it a couple of time's and every time i have found that nothing went wrong with it , it was ok to use still. Great phone, love the free Facebook. A little expensive.
Touch screen phone, modern, easy to use – Samsung Preston is a touch screen phone which is fun and modern but easy to use. Has Bluetooth, calculator, internet, quality camera, good sound; lots of options and features. Has everything you need and more. Cheap. Quality, easy to use but still modern; has all the latest things technology and applications. Can't think of anything.
It was ok! – Me and my partner both bought this phone 2 years ago, at the time it was the best phone we ever had, but after a few weeks some flaws appeared. the touch screen was very jittery and unreliable, the button placement wasn't well thought out and it was kind of flimsy. we eventually upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy s. My mother in law is currently using… Read more
