Hello,
Thanks for all the input guys! I read alot of the previous posts and found my answers! I just purchased this phone in the Noir color way 2nd hand and it ROCKS!!!
If you people have not understood this yet then let me tell you again! BUY THE DARN USB BLUETOOTH DONGLE!!!! It's $11 shipped from ebay to your house and at least utilize the bluetooth this phone comes with! Forget the usb cable wire, I hear it's garbage!
Anyways this phone is small compact and ergonomically it's the best feel out there unlike those stupid slider phones and you can rest it upon your shoulders with your head unlike the bar phones and sliders!!!
You can buy the bluetooth headset as well but not many people like that on their ear!
For all those people saying samsung sucks and that you have problems with your phone, maybe you just got a bad apple? Return it then if it's defective and get a replacement for it!
And for all you clowns out there saying that the memory is small. 96 mb on a phone is pretty good! If you want a million songs on your phone then go buy one that is trans flash card capable then........or....go buy a darn mp3 player with gigs of memeory!
The facts are that this phone is superb in size, features, looks and battery life is decent! Just don't use the hell out of it, after all, it';s only a cell phone people!
Peace!
Peace!

i just bought a pretty new and unscratched second hand e73o a few days ago and now i know why the previous owner had sold it..! the battery is weak..weak..weak! the first time it lasted me around 20 hours with minimal smsing. the second time when i played a few mp3s and took a few pics, it only took me 8 hours before the battery is completely drained..! it bothered me a hell lot. however, i heard quite an amount of people said that the initial chargings are like that. i hope with a few more charges, my batt life will last longer. =( oh well~
other than that, the phones pretty good! design's the best. great sound (better than my mp3 player) and good camera xD. for those who says that they cant take pics at night due to the weak flash..i recommend u all to adjust the brightness to the brightest. this way its better than the flash =)

I plan to buy E730 anytime soon. After reading most of the reviews, i kinda got disappointed. But as i read Chineseman's and Dominic's posts, i must say i have to push through with my plan. i realize after weighing its pros and cons, i think E-730 is a good choice. hope u guys will help me if, hopefully GOD forbids, i will encounter same problems, okey?
tnx so much!
GOD BLESS US ALL!

actually after i using this phone for a half year, what i can say is this phone is quite a good phone in basic function, less problem and good receiver ,but if compare to those guy who finding for smart phone like o2 or nokia, dun try samsung ..cos samsung is a handphone, not a TV, powerfull camrecord or camera, playstation .It is just a basic phone for those use the phone in probably way.we dun like so much trouble on pressing keypad. it just a very simple,usefull handphone. and for whose u guy mention about battery problem,camera problem,sound problem ..sorry i never face b4 as long i use

This phone is almost perfect. I've this in the matte Noir/Black Soft Feel version. I love it so much.!! The battery needs a few initial full recharging & discharging to make it last longer. Bluetooth speed is amazingly fast. Radio's great too. One flaw would be the ringtone volume, it's too soft. It needs to be improve..But overall this phone's a 8.5/10 for me. It's going to stay with me for a while.. =D

Hard to give credit to a sub-standard product that doesnt deliver...just my opinion true..seems quite a few others share this opinion when checking the previous posts as suggested..i never got the chance to experience problems with any of the other features of the phone as some people have here...my phone has never worked..why not ask questions here? The handbook is useless

Hey you guys,
What the hell happened here? This isn't TECH SUPPORT you know! It's "User Opinions"!
For those who can't upload mp3s - try thinking first before posting like mad. The phone is glitchy when it comes to connections. Also, check if your PC has enough memory (I mean RAM and buffer memory) before you transfer huge files because the phone hangs when there's not enough buffer memory. If your RAM is 256 MB or higher, you can upload easily.
Using the USB is discussed in the user manual. Although the details aren't listed, you could use the old "trial and error" method when you try out certain features. Don't be afraid to experiment, that's what the warranty is for!
Transfering files is easy. Get a Bluetooth dongle if you can't use the USB. Also, try reading older posts here, since many of them old posts have the answers to the questions that you have.
That "video recording..." error message just means that you didn't exit correctly from the Camera menu. Try going into that menu then just keep pressing the "Back" option, not the "End call" red button.
And for those who don't like the phone... well that's okay to say it's bad because it's your opinion, but you could at least give a little more credit to the phone. Just say that it's bad and it'll be enough, you don't have to exaggerate.
And anyone out here reads the "Posting Rules"? Learn a little etiquette...

I bought my E730 back in July and it has been sent in for warranty repairs three times since then each time to rectify the same problems. It is currently away for repairs now and I am using a Nokia 6610i as a loan phone. The Nokia a much better and more reliable product.
Problems with my E730:
1. Screen freezes then fades - phone has to be turned off then on again (software problems)
2. Battery life is way too short (as mentioned in other posts)
3. Front cover diplay does not work, no MP3 player, no camera...nothing
Verdict = phone is garbage...my first and last Samsung..going back to Nokia (Thank god there is a lemon clause in my contract)

Oh and try -- IDk what you're talking about but my phone lasted a day and a half, and it only lost 1 bar, so I still had 2 bars worth of battery life. Make sure you only charge it when necessary. ;] Also, I did use the phone and talk on it for probably, a total of 30 minutes, but I'm just saying that the battery life does last pretty long--just make sure you charge it completely, only when the battery starts blinking due to low battery.

Jeff, it's true that this phone does have a lot of features, there are some downsides.
But I'd have to admit, I'm VERY happy with this phone. Not only is it stylish, but it has many features, despite the crappy flash and kind of weird external display. I still would say this phone is worth every penny I paid for it.
Oh and I was able to put mp3s on this phone finally. Spent a few hours (the booklet doesn't say anything about how to go about it), but I'm satisfied that I accomplished it, while quite a few others who have the e730 can't seem to connect the phone to their PC. Great phone. I'm learning to love this phone more than my old samsung e315 (which I loved to death).

Everyone who posts a bad comment aout this phone is extreamly over criticle and is never happy with anything. This phone is great. I know lots of people with this phone and they all say the same thing, and the people I know without this phone all want it. So if you are thinking of writing a bad review for this phone, try being a little more open minded and a little less ARROGENT!!

I read these opinions with increasing incredulity.Not just for the e730 but all phones on this site.I'ts almost like someone found a madhouse locked away in some ancient village and gave all the inmates a laptop pc and told them to post an opinion.
Opinion 1: " i bort dis 4one and its in da box and no one has told me ow to get it out of da box like...pleeze somone tel me ow to open da box?"
Suggestion....you know that booklet that came with the phone?Try reading it!!
