I have been using this phone for a week now. This phone may not have the latest must have features such as wifi or even 3Gs. But it more than makes up for it as a capable music phone. Samsung is doing it right by having phones with similar features but with slightly different designs. Aesthetics play a big role in how the general public (not the techno geeks)choose their phones. As for the the Samsung e740, it matches my criteria in terms of aesthetic appeals and uniqueness. I choose this phone over more feature abundant phones because of the way it looks and the unique click wheel that it has. On top of that I never like a bulky handphone so I will not choose over the top phones such as N80, K880i etc. I realized that most of the time I will never use those high end features at all. Coming back to the e740, its features are on the middle ground. It takes decent pictures, plays music with an almost full featured software that can rival a full-fledged MP3 player and with great sound to boot. The clickwheel offers an interesting way to navigate around the menus. Definitely one of the more interesting sliders out there. The new menu interface is a marked improvement over the last generation of phones. Of course there are things that could be better made and one of them is the softness of the incoming call ringtones. It is noticeably softer compared to my previous Samsung e890. Also, Samsung could have offered more themes to make their phones more visually appealing. It is a waste of an excellent TFT screen that Samsung is well known for without many themes to support it.
All in all, I like my e740.

I bought this phone and everything went well until the memory card would not go in. In the instructions it says just give the memory card a light push to insert it. I took it back to the shop as i assumed it was faulty. The shop assistant then got it in- and told me you have to have long finger nails to put it in!! Did anyone else have the same problem?

To turn the kepyad sound off press the down arrow in the scroll key on the left side of the phone with no applications open on the phone. Keep on pressing the key until you see the "Key Volume" level as 0. That will turn off ur keypad tone.

Hello! I've just purchased this phone and was very excited until I realized I couldn't turn the kepyad sound off. Is that a common problem? Can it be fixed? At the sound settingd the kepyad sound sublink is completely inactive.

To record a conversation, put the call on hold, Click on Options> Conv. Record and it would start recording ur conversation. Save the file once you have finished recording.
