      Just got this phone for testing purposes, and the first thing that comes to my mind is "The perfect phone for a girl". It is small and is easily usable (no Ultra unsensative keys here - big plus), and it has all the basic features of a moder phone - a 3mpix camera, mp3 player and radio and of course the option to make calls and send SMS. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of flash. Even the battery is better than in most phones.
      Conclusion - it really is a great phone for girls :D

        Argh! Now something annoying: unlike Sony Ericsson's phones, this one can install Java apps only through WAP. Placing a jar and a jad file in it's memory from a PC (using Bluetooth or USB) doesn't work, you won't be able to run either of the files. I couldn't download a 433 KB application just because it "exceeds the maximum size". Now this fills me with anger because it's otherwise a good phone and would be nice to have more java freedom...

          Just bought one. fabulous for those that just want a phone and don't mind a good camera built in.

          Very small but not micro. Shorter then the Nokia 6300 and weighs less. Good screen (220x220) and bunch of games thrown in (I bought unlocked). Battery seems quite good. Takes microSD. Has radio and MP3 player. Camera is bonus, 3MP auto-focus. At the top end of camera phones. No 3G and not quad band, only tri-band. Has EDGE.

          Best phone I have had for years. Lovely easy to use user interface.

            I think is a great phone. Very good.
            Has a superb quality!!
            I still didn't manage to disable the horrible shutter noise! How can i do that or simply lower the volume?

                  http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-u100-en.shtml#13

                  see that page, about half way down they compare the U100 camera with pics taken by the e590, (basically the same)

                  Its a nice little phone and I'll probably buy it, the problem is the availabilty in the UK, can people give me links to good prices for a sim free? best i can find is 99.95 on virgin pay as you go but you need to buy £10 credit with that. cheers

                        You can't use custom tones for incoming messages and my phone has just 4 preset sounds. Doesn't bother me much because my T610 was around the same. The display measures 3,2 by 3,2 cm (10,24 cm^2) and is dense, compared to old 128x128 phones, but I think it's not as dense as bar 240x320 phones (i don't have any to compare). Lacking a stereo jack is a handicap for the MP3 Player, limiting you to using only special headphones. The stock headphones don't sound as loud as I'd like for some songs at maximum volume. Videos can be recorded at up to CIF (352x288) but there is a visible skipping (I don't know what the FPS is, but it should be around 10-15 fps at this resolution).

                              The Christian,
                              Hi mate!
                              Could you tell us if the sms tones can be "whatever we want" (like mp3s...) or does Samsung continue to allow only those awful fixed sounds?
                              I personally don't like bar-type phones, but this seems like a nice one, and it is only €199 carrier free. :)

                                I have this phone and am pretty content with it. About the posts before mine - yes, it can vibrate and ring at the same time regardless of the type of ringtone. It isn't the default option so you'll have to select it from the Settings menu. The camera doesn't have optical zoom (and how could it in such a tiny phone). The MP3 player doesn't read ID3 tags and doesn't sound very well with the bundled headphones... I guess I've become addicted to my desktop headphones...
