Samsung U900 Soul preview: First Look

05 March 2008
If there is one device by Samsung to keep the crowd at fever pitch these days, it would be the Samsung U900 Soul. The latest addition to the hugely successful Ultra lineup is surely the fattest in terms of features among its siblings. Gifted with great design...

    I bought it and am so annoyed, though EVERY advert tells you it comes in a stainless steel case....it doesn't. It appears to be sold in 3 colours soul gray, platinum silver & sterling steel. However the shops only seem to have gray. When I contacted samsung to ask if the steel one was being sold in the uk, they stated that they did not know and would have no way of finding out! How ridiculous. Also some adds say it is quad band others say tri.....who knows????? If anyone knows where you can purchase the steel version please let me know, but I challenge anyone to find out, because I've tried and if Samsung themselves don't know, what chance has anyone else got!

      Role on the 14/4/08 O2 upgrade and I’m going all in on this phone... NOKIA, LG ERICSSON are making phones that have no real ambition. There current phones exist because they need to slightly modify there range to compete in the market.. not because they have designed anything innovative.. where Samsung clearly have.. I bow down to Samsung and awaiting the purchase of my New SOUL mate!

        I think this is a great addition to the Ultra II lineup. The only problem for me is that the front fascia looks so cluttered and unclean compared to the U600

          What a suprise, Samsung have launched another phone that look exactly the same as every other heap its made. When are they going to make a phone that customers will actually want. Make proper phones such as Nokia or HTC.

              a bit too minimalist for my tastes...I wish you could have alternate themes with coloured icons that look something like what they are meant to mean. Sure some people like things like that but others don't, like me. I like nice colourful icons that are nice to look at and not a collection of boring looking rounded squares...

                    To be honest,I like Samsungs Menu design.. Bcz its so simple,yet looks really nice! One of the reasons i dont like nokia's menu design is bcz their icons are so complicated and not attractive at all...

                          Amazing phone!
                          Awesome design!
                          Beautiful interface!
                          No one can beat Samsung in feature packed ultra slim phones.
                          I've been a great fan of Samsung D900.
                          I want this to be my next phone.
                          Well done Samsung!!!

                              As you said, Samsung make sure their become sucessful: Nice looking phone, new interface, etc. However won't buy this new hone because I'm getting a bit bored of Samsung's design(D900&U700 previously). However, Hard to find a better phone. Maybe one with symbian would do :)

                                      Those photos from the U900 camera are excellent. I own a Sony Ericsson K800i and for my work, I use a Pentax K10D semi-pro DSLR. The pictures of the building are better than my otherwise excellent K800i and almost look like those from a 'real' digital camera like my Pentax. If this phone's PDA (organiser) functions are as well thought out and sync as well as my K800i, then the U900 is on my next phone list, along with the LG Viewty, SE W890 (lovely, had a play recently), the Nokia N96, Nokia E61i or the new Samsung F490 that Vodafone are due to stock end of March '08. Mmm, decisions...

                                        man the phone looks great but if it only had a bigger screen it would be amazing man, i mean ok no symbian os or watever but sometimes you gotta buy a phone with the looks man and can you imagine any other phone with such specs; 5mp cam........looking so slick man and if it had a bigger screen it would just be amazing to hold the phone at night and so dam slimmmmm man, nice
