I've had the phone for about 2 months now and so far it has been more that great.
If you're looking for an easy to use phone to text a little, talk a little and take a few pictures, than this one is for you.
Here are a few things I noticed:
- The phone is fast, even with menu transitions, and there is no lag when typing.
- Sliding feels good.
- Phone is stable even when you have more than 150 messages
- SOS, mobile tracker, block list for voice and text are great.
- Phone looks stylish
- Voice calls are loud and clear.
- Camera is good, but in low light it compensates by extending the shutter time, causes blurred images.
- Can't go on facebook with the browser. Too many redirects. Load Opera-mini, it's much better anyway.
- Applications open fast
- Number keys lack the true feel of being pressed and keysound doesn't always match the amount of times a key has been pressed. Frustrating if you type without looking at the keys
- Music player can't minimize, but sound through the headset is great.
- The side of the headset with the answer button is heavy and tends to fall out of your ear.
- Everything on the screen is nice and big, but due to 65k screen some text and pictures appear blurred, but most wallpapers look amazing.
- Using GPRS drains the battery fast!
- Battery life is very good (if you don't use GPRS)
- Phone charges fast
- Phone hasn't frozen or restarted yet. Use the Samsung PCStudio to make ringtones and you won't have a problem.
- Image editor only works for captured images. If you move a pic to the memory card and then back to the phone, it is stored as a Downloaded image and you can't edit it.
- Good signal strength
- No side-scrolling for photo's stored on SD card.
- Alarm features are great.
- MP3's can be used as message alert tones (only first 8seconds play)
- Battery cover is impossible to remove without rubber gloves (even then, it is scary to do)
- Call log is great and organized
- Profiles are great and you can create your own as well.
- Charger should have been on the lefthand side of the phone. When headset/charger is connected it is difficult to type/use the phone.
- If your carrier has proxy settings for gprs, re-enter them for your games/apps otherwise it's not going to connect to the internet. You have to do this even if your carrier has sent you the settings as the phone does not copy the proxy settings to the games/apps.
- Phone does not store captured images directly to the SD card. You have to move them, but keep the last captured image on the internal memory, otherwise the numbering starts over and you have to rename everything before moving it to the SD card.
Overall, it is a great phone for a moderate user. The price is great for what you're getting. If you can live with the above hiccups, then buy this phone.

It depends what network you are on.
If you hold down the 1 button that should help.
If not check your network to see what the voicemail number is.
Sorry if non of this helps.

Help please.. when viewing the photos saved in the memory card, i cant switch photos through the scroll key. i have to go back to the main photos and select the next picture i would want to see. it's so inconvenient. Unlike the photos saved in the phone memory, i can just scroll left/right to view the series of photos. what can i do to easily view the photos saved in the memory card? thanks!!!

bhaskar, 03 Dec 2008can u tell me what the hell i can do wid my j700 can i down... moreHi,
I have got this phone and it is really good .. to download stuff you have to go onto 1. settings 2.phone settings 3. pc connections. You have a choice of samsung pc studio or mass storage ( click on the 2nd one ) then you can start downloading . BEWARE of somethings you download like music .. some of them freeze your phone and so you have to plug it into the computer and delete whatever file has corrupted your phone. Enjoy and I hope I have helped you.
