Samsung L700 review: Cool as Metal

07 October 2008
Samsung L700 is a lower midrange fella and its main selling points are solid construction, metal body and fast 3G speeds. Before you frown at the shortish specs list do remember that it's not aiming high. It's set instead to address...

        Bought exactly 1 year bk with lot of expectations & xitement.
        I hav bsnl 3G connctn & I wanted a mid range phone with std 3G features.L700 suited my requirements. I had then read abt few -ve fdbks like poor battery, netwrk prblm, etc in this blog. Still the features @ that price(Rs6200/-) attracted me the most.
        My fdbk is very -ve. Why?
        1)Batry is really poor.( I am a mktng person-so naturally usage is heavy, added to it are urges of surfing & listening to misic.)At times I even had to charge twice a day.
        2)Even when calls were disconnected, actual disconnection would take even >1min.
        3)Frequently it wd get hang.
        4)Browser is v very slow(at times xtrmly irritating) possibly due to the processor.
        5)Contacts wd automatically get deleted though enough memory remaining. Eerie!
        6)With bsnl connection(2G or 3G)-huge netwrk problm.most of the time I wd be unreachable sitting in my office or home while a simple nokia phone wd be absolutely OK with similar bsnl connection. Strange!
        Leave other smaller problems like nt able to set ur own sms tune, camera problm,or others reported in blog.

        Lastly, I ultimately gave it for servicing at the biggest samsung mobile serv centre in Kolkata. Believe me, it has taken them 21 days to repair the problms & that too looping in samsung br mgrs-both sales & serv. Some parts(camera) were nt available?!
        Just imagine being w/out ur mobile for almost 1 mnth.
        I am now thinking to xchange this.
        So friends, the good old proverb still holds good-look before u leap.

                I am using this phone for the past one year.

                Its a nice phone.

                Pros

                Sturdy and stylish design ( It fell many times - no probs)

                Audio quality is good

                Battery life is good even for great talkers it can last for two fulldays

                Camera quality is very good in day light.

                Phone book capacity, user interface, Bluetooth, 3G, are felt by me as great.

                Cons

                No download of game is possible.

                Flash strength is weak

                Conversation recoring facility should be there.

                FM without headphone is not possible.

                Audio to have higher volume



                OVERALL

                FOR THE COST I HAVE PAID RS.7300/- IFEEL IT IS WORTHY AND I AM SATISFIED.

                      Had this phone for a month now and have had problems with signal strength. The Sony Ericsson I had previously had a weak signal when I was at home (i live in the middle of nowhere) but this phone has no signal at all rendering it useless in the evenings.

                              1) Camera quality is too bad when u compare it with others phone having 2 mega pic.



                              2) You cant install any game or software



                              3) Only few default themes is there. you can't install any theme.



                              4) You can't record any call



                              5) You can't even change sms tone. Lol



                              6) There is no obtion to go to the phone menu when you are in call.



                              7) U can't switched on the led as torch. It's led only works as flash during picture taking



                              8) No equalizer is there when u play mp3.



                              9) Very low soung when u play a music video.



                              10) Pooooooor headsets in quality, even headsets are not comfortable, starts pain after 5 minutes



                              11) While typing an sms, you've to put some symbols manually. dictionary is too bad.

                              When i purchased this phone, next day i run to shop to sale it. & he offer 3k less then it's orignal value & there i decided to use it for atleast 6 months to get some value out of it. But this mode is too disgusting

                                i bought this handset for myself a week ago & i found it very strong, nice phone. performs very well under any conditions. 8/10 for this set. i recommend this stuff to the people who demands more for less money.overall a winner. viva samsung.
