What do you think of this phone?

Samsung E350E

Also does anyone know why it has the E on the end, is it older than the E350?

Thanks for your advice.

Get a 6230i, a hell of alot better for a fraction more.

In looks, both phones are poles apart. If that is very important you will choose one over the other. Not sure how much extra the Nokia is but if you can live without the features offered by Nokia like edge megapixel camera etc the choice should be easier.

One department where the Samsung trounces the Nokia is the screen quality. Samsung has a great reputation for excellent screens. One of the top mobiles interms of screen quality is the D500, Flops I believe has been using it and he can tell you how good it really is. For just under £100, one can even consider the Razr V3 in Black available from Amazon UK.

I have bought it from orange, its for my sister anyway, although i need a new phone.

I have a samsung A800, what you think about that phone? I think i bought it for £115 at the time, must be atleast 2 years ago.

The D500 is an absolutely great phone... i have one myself, Samsung seem to be one of the manufacturer's i get on with for mobile phones, this phone has never locked up / crashed, or caused me any significant problems since the time i got it.

cheap and worth 30 pound more bargain

 

[stuartw101]

You think its worth £30 more considering the new samsung phone has just come out?

Thanks

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

Yeah it's worth every penny

 

[stuartw101]

So if i was to convince someone to spend the extra £30 what would i say was better on the D500?

Thanks

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

The camera quality
The battery time duration
MP3 Player sound quality
The menu layout's are easier to navigate...

 

[stuartw101]

I want it for myself, the e350 was what my 15yr old sister wants, although she didnt know about the d500 and whether or not she would pay the extra £30.

 

[Quadophile]

ChrisIMRIE listed good things about the D500 and rightly so, I would pay extra £30 just for the screen! It really is that good.

 

[stuartw101]

Im gonna get it, although i think my sister is gonna get the E350, although orange are being difficult, i used my dads card for the order and put my mums name as the person on the delivery address. For some reason they wont let me see if they have recorded my order or cancel it because i put my mums name down on the address! How stupid is that, its got nothing to do with here, its only a name, i just want to know if they have the order!

Thats a joke, not like im gonna ask for the card details or anything.

Also do you think my sister should get the Sony Ericsson k700i (£75) instead of the E350?

Thanks

K700i is not a bad phone if you really like it.

When you get the D500 let us know what you think of it

 

[stuartw101]

Will do. So what do you think is better k700i or Samsung e350?

 

[Quadophile]

1) K700i has a bigger screen than E350, Samsung screens are however better than Sony
2) K700i has Blutooth and Infrared but E350 has only Infrared
3) K700i is a year older model
4) K700i has fm radio but not E350
5) Both models have similar amount of memory
6) Battery for K700i will last longer as far as the specs go as talktime indicated is 7 hours compared to 3 hours for E350
7) E350 is a slider phone K700i is a candybar style phone
8) E350 is much lighter and smaller compared to K700i, girls may give high importance to this
9) Samsung has a better and updated MP3 player

 

[ChristopherP]

I liked the K700i

So does that mean k700i?

I am afraid that decision you have to make, that is why I gave you a comparison of features to enable you to decide. Get the model which has features you think are most important for your needs. Both models have their positives and negatives, either one is a good buy.

If it was me deciding on one of the above phones I would be inclined towards the E350, if that is what you want to know. Don't forget K700i even though is a good phone but already almost two years old.

 

[stuartw101]

Yep, thats the phone i was leaning towards. Thanks for all your help.
