The sliding mechanism is okay, but not nearly as robust as other Samsung or Nokia phones. But this is why the phone is so light 86 grams and thin. There is some slight lateral movement on the slide itself. It takes a small but adequate amount of upward or downward pressure to actuate the spring mechanism into opening or closing the phone. But keep in mind the phone is made out of plastic. So the phone bends accordingly.
As for texting, I mentioned this is the worst possible phone for that. I am a texter myself. I found this phone to be rather frustrating to use as such. The delete button is the end call button which is touch sensitive.
Sometimes if you hit the erase button one time too many, you end up back in the main screen. So for example, if you were writing a word, than you decided to erase it, and you hit the erase button beyond the amount of characters in the word I know what you are thinking, oddly enough the reverse button is a different button, so you have to erase using the end button until you erase the word, than you have to switch to the reverse button to back up beyond that word the phone goes back to the main menu!?!?!?
The space button and the button that capitalizes the word are also improperly placed at the bottom left and bottom right. It is very uncomfortable. Than there is an extra button you have to press to add a character beyond ,.!?. You end up having to press so many different buttons to complete a proper sentence.
But i'm really worried about the build of the physical build of the phone.. I want to buy this phone, but I want to know some opinions from the other users. Can somebody tell me if I will take a good decision buying this phone?! Hi ; Is there an option to change the themes in the phone or is there a site from where I could download new ones? Thanks in advance :. Unfortunately the problem is greatest on the 2gb memory card. I tested a 1gb and it worked a bit faster.
If you store the vid or song on the phones shared memory the results will yield a much faster response. But how much can you store on the phone's memory? Using a 2gb memory card is essential for this phone.
However it really seems to stress the phones processor to the max. And the camera takes four seconds due to the auto focus that you cant turn off. There is a way to make it take pics slightly faster by slowly depressing the shutter than pressing it firmly. But the sharpness is than effected. I am curious as to other people's experiences with these same features.
It is funny how some people cant be objective because they own something. And those who want this phone look for all the good news and refuse to see the bad.
It is really very amusing. Listen to me, there is a reason this phone sells for so little. It i snot worth a penny more. It is difficult, uncomfortable and often perplexing using the u Don't believe me? Get one Let all your fantasies about using this phone go It is really not a good phone.
If you like taking pictures and or texting, this is not your phone. If you just want a useless, small device that that looks really cool, you can buy this phone. But it is a huge compromise at the very least.
Can you imagine a phone where the menu that reads the sim literally takes ten seconds to open? Than it shows you what vids you have in groups of three. When you want to scroll down to see what is beyond those three, you have to wait five seconds for it to load. Than you have to start all over again. I have found one way to avoid the phone resetting. It is the same process as above, but instead of clicking onto full screen, you have to first view the vid in small screen, than stop the vid while it is playing, than click back to go back to the screen where you selected the video, and than selecting full screen usually works.
This takes nearly 45 seconds!??? Insane I know. Does this sound like a phone you want to own? Read the negatives about this phone because they are very bad. Hi I just got the samsung U - can anyone tell me if you can save more than one number in one entry? There are 4 four touch sensitive buttons, that's all. Let me mention how awful using the camera is on this phone. My very old V3i takes pics and vids instantly, and plays videos within about three seconds.
The u takes an astounding 15 seconds just to play a vid????!!!! That does not include the 10 seconds it takes to get to the video menu screen, which crawls slower than a snail.
It is really hard to understand just how slow this phone operates if you do not own it. Trust me when I say I am shocked by it. You can also use the Search as Spelling feature we mentioned earlier. Unluckily, Samsung U soul - much like Samsung U - searches only in the contact's first name. The phonebook looks are familiar. Quite a number of different information fields are available for each contact.
You can store up to 5 numbers, 4 email addresses, URLs and so on. Each contact can also be assigned a specific ringtone and picture, as well as a note.
You can even set a video as "caller's image" - a feature that is now becoming pretty common. Viewing and editing a contact with the Samsung U Soul. Contacts can be organized into groups, which can then have their own ringtones and pictures. There is also a birthday field, which can than be exported to the calendar as an event with only a few clicks. This is quite a convenient solution.
Contact details or your whole contacts list can be sent via Bluetooth. You can also save namecards to your memory card if you want to transfer them that way.
The call logging department has also been slightly improved in comparison to the previous Samsung U-models. Both the Call key in stand-by and the call log icon from the menu give you access to the same application.
It has four tabs - recent contacts, dialed numbers, received and missed calls. Before those tabs were somewhat inconveniently separate but with Samsung U Soul this is no longer a problem. Finally, there are also data and call time counters and even a call cost feature if you provide information about your subscription plan. The first three share the same editor. A rich T9 dictionary is at the user's disposal too. In case message sending fails, the message is automatically saved to the outbox, so you can try sending it later.
Typing a message to Dexter. There is room for SMS, 30 push messages, broadcast messages and 30 configuration messages in the phone's memory. As far as emails and MMS are concerned, they are not limited in number and storage depends on the free memory only. There are about MB available for these, which should be enough on most occasions.
Incoming messages, like calls, can also be blocked based on a user-defined black list. The email client is also very good. Not only any files from the phone memory, but also business cards, calendar events, tasks or notes can be emailed as attachments. The client can be set up to check mail at a chosen interval options vary from 30 minutes to 1 day.
Reading our email on Samsung U Soul. The Samsung U Soul's file browser is not the same as the one we are used to seeing in previous Samsung handsets.
It lists all the folders from both the phone memory and the memory card together. There are folders for different types of files - images, video, music, sounds, which allow the handset to sort the memory contents. However, if you misplace some file the handset will still handle it. The file manager is slightly changed. Functionality of the file browser is one of the best among non-smartphones.
You can copy or move files - both one by one or in bulk, and you can create and delete new folders save for the root ones. Files can also be sent via Bluetooth one by one or multiple at once. Throughout the whole file manager, you can pick files you would like to lock to prevent accidental deletion. The downside we used to find in some of the older Samsung handsets - the really slow memory card reading - is not the case with Samsung U Soul.
