This is a pretty great phone. I have had it for about 3 or 4 months now i got the 2 GB expansion and listen to all my music and audio books. Even the audio Books i get from Audiobooks.net go n just fine. My phone came with a headset and mic but those are the only ones that work with it, and if i lose them i dont know how much it will cost for new ones. Which kind of sucks. But besides that its great

Hey everyone!
Just dropping a note to say I now have this phone. I thought I would tell you about it.
I love it!
Before you ask me, yes I'm a grown-up lol.
Now, I'm going to tell you about my particular phone as I'm not sure if some other countries versions of this particular model of phone will have the same accessories etc.
The one that I got was in Loyal Blue colour, which is glossy black and metalic blue. It has a surfer guy on the back of the phone. It looks holographic or lenticular as it moves in the light. It's cool I like it! :D
As The Carphone Warehouse are the only phone retailer to stock the Samsung Tobi S3030 here in the UK, they only stock Loyal Blue and Sweet Pink. I'm not sure if they will be stocking the other colours. But from what I can tell from the Tobi portal at Samsung UK website, it seems they'll only have Loyal Blue and Sweet Pink, which is a shame because I really wanted the phone in Energetic Orange as I am a fan of Tigger hehe.
The box it comes in is compact and colourful. It includes:
Phone,
Battery,
Battery cover with transparent plastic window,
2 pre-cut paper inserts for the back of the phone,
3-pin UK wall charger,
Earphones
USB cable
Manual, warranty card etc
The phone changer, USB cable, and earphones have samsung propriatery shaped connectors, but I'm sure you can get a 3.5 earphone jack convertor for your earphones somewhere.
It has similar spec to a samsung U900 Soul. I love the user interface, with the animated icons. It comes with 3 preset themes. The Ocean World theme is my favourite. I love the animated fishes. So cute :D
I also love that you can change the covers and swap pictures with your friends and put them in the back of the phone. You can even put photos in there too. In the box it comes with pre cut pictures for you to try out on your phone. It reminds me of an old Nokia phone I used to have. You could put pictures in the back of that phone too. I can't remember the name of that phone. I'm sure someone will know :)
It's very easy to use. The menus are easy to navigate through.
The phone itself is a nice size, it feels good in the hand. It slides open and close smoothly with no problems.
The sounds are very loud which is a good thing, because some phones I used in the past were very quiet. It has a speaker on the back of the phone to listen to music and sounds. Its very loud when having a hands-free conversation too.
When talking on the phone, it's very clear and the person on the other end of the phone said they could hear me clearly as well.
Its tri-band. GPRS 900/1800/1900. don't ask me what all that means, I have no idea lol.
It has 15 MB of on-board phone memory. It has an Micro SD card slot which can accept Micro SD cards up to 8G, which is a good thing if you love music and videos on your phone :D
Bluetooth 2.0,which you can use as a cheaper alternative to sending txts to each other. I don't know how anyone would find that useful as you'll have to be near someone to bluetooth messages to each other, you might as well just sit next to each other and talk like normal human beings lol.
MP3 player, well you know what that does. You can play music in the background whilst using the phone:) It also comes with am FM radio with RDS. You need to have the earphones connected to the phone to listen to radio either through the earphones or through the loud speaker.
It has a 1.3 megapixel camera which can take pictures and record videos.
It also has 3 different 'safety' functions. For example sending a pre-set text message to multiple contacts, calling multiple contacts, and 'fake call' which basically is pressing a button and it simulates an incoming call. You can record a message to make it more authentic, like have your boyfriend, girlfriend etc say "hi sweety how are you?" in the hopes of a would-be attacker goes away. Somehow I don't think that would deter anyone though lol.
The phone comes pre-loaded with 2 games but they are demos. Tetris and Brain training. I love Tetris! :-p
All in all a very well thought-out phone.
Get one for yourself or your children, or both! Lol.
I just wish Samsung could get a license to make a Hello Kitty phone hehe.
Warmest regards
Dylan
Ps. anything I left out, please don't hesitate to tell me. :)
Please don't flame me either hehe.

really, the only thing that makes sense to me about the samsung tobi is that its for under 12 kids. cos i dont see how samsung would make fantastic phones like the omnia and the i8510 and then do tobi for those same users. but my 3yr old neice wouldnt use it cos i wonder what an mp3 player is donig in a phne with less than 50mb

Looks like a cute phone for kids, which isn't a bad thing as there aren't many like this. But it can't be too expensive- under £50 is reasonable.
