Samsung U700 review: Ultra fit

21 July 2007
Brilliant QVGA display, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, memory card and many other functions in a fashionably slim shape. Samsung U700, a.k.a Samsung Ultra 12.1, is one of the four slim models in the Ultra Edition II Series. The number indication 12.1 refers to the body thickness in millimeters. The U700 model is the slimmest slider ever to support high-speed data transfers over HSDPA.

        Hi,
        Does any one know how to type the character '_' (underscore) while using the built in Netfront browser to access websites? I am not able to access my mail on U700 as my mail Id has '_' in it :(
        Thanks

            Does anyone know how to save files down onto the memory card ie when receiving files from Bluetooth? I can't seem to figure out where this option would be located.

                Samsung should really update those GUI's. The phone looks fantastic but those GUI's are totally ugly. What's the point in the resolution and colour when you have simple cheap menus ?

                Come on, Samsung!

                    To vibrate while in normal mode, just change the alert type in Phone profile, from Melody only to Vibrate and Melody.

                      Ferrum you are an absolute legend!!!! thanks very much. I ended up trading in the phone for a brand new U700 cos it was the first time they had heard of that problem and decided to replace it for me.

                          @A-Man 2703

                          I transferred the file via bluetooth, then deleted it on the comuter before i had installed any software (which btw is supposed to work). Then when i went back on the phone, it was still there, but in a greyish colour and now i was unable to delete it or play it... So i tried to plug it in to the computer again and delete it from there, but it didn't show up in the folder. Then i came up with the bright idea to transfer the file via bluetooth again, and it worked! :D Now the file showed up as it should, and i could delete it properly!

                          Just make a file with the same name as the one showing in grey, and copy it over to the phone either via bluetooth or USB.

                                How do you show the Album Art for the songs you're playing?
                                It is not sufficient to just put a *.jpg file there...
                                Guess it has to be named something special... Anyone know?

                                  I have the U700, the phone itself it pretty good...unlees you like you use it for MP3's or video.
                                  The media player has no equalizer and sounds flat and hollow.
                                  The video player WILL NOT play video at the screens native 320x240 res. Max res is 176x144 i think. If you try to play a 320x240 video it will display "unsupport resolution"
                                  Also the menu system is very slow compared to a D900.

                                  I would give this phone 5/10 due to its poor media player and slow menu speed.

                                      This phone looks great!
                                      I am so impreseed by its slim size with great function!
                                      When will it be released?
                                      In fact, I am considering which to buy, U700 or 6500 slide. It seems they are comparable with very similar function.
                                      What I concern may be the appearance, battery life and the durability of the phone. Which one would be better?
