Ok ,, hi once again.My previous review was quite short,but after a while i thought of a few things to ask,and say.Firstly,I love the design of the fone,just wondering about the different faces available,because my fone scratched a little,and thats not good.I also like the touch pad and the fact that it isnt touch screen like the U700,because my mother had that fone,and it is most probably the worst fone made by samsung(which is quite unusual,bacause i previously had a Z540,which lasted me a long time).I also want to know why a person cant take Photos from the front camera,and i dont have settings like sports or night mode?Is there any other test codes for the soul,which will make the quality a little better?Lastly,i dont have any problems with the battery life,or the sound volume.Answers 2 these questions will be awesome.. thanx!

It's hard to explain, you actually need to feel the phone in your hand, the metallic body gives it a nice weight and certainly doesn't feel cheap.
I heard from other reviews that it does get easily scratched, which is what I was worried about. At the same time I ordered the Soul, I also ordered the InvisibleShield (full body) for it, and both arrived on the same day. If you like Secret's anti-scratch tempered glass, putting the a full body Invisible Shield is like putting anti-scratch on the whole phone (it's clear and like 0.2mm thick so it didn't affect the look of my phone.) Even though my phone is 2 months old, it's scratch free and still looks like I got it yesterday.

Can some1 tell me how is the slider spring mech? does it start to shake or not work as the way it did? I had some experience with this kind of problem,the slider shakes. Also is the screen easily scratchable because I wanna buy a phone which can last me a longer time,that is why I had my mind on the LG Secret but I found out that is not that good compared to samsung(in functionality that is),so can someone answer my questions? cheers!!!:)

I got this phone as a '08 Christmas gift! I chose the Platinum silver, as a review mentioned this colour will not make scrtches very visble [on the plastic bits]. thankfully, the two soft keys and answer and decline call keys around the touch panel are mechanical.
Looks beautiful in the stainless steel body which has already survived a er, rather small 2ft drop. As a owner of two previous samsungs, I know them to survive drops from the height that you hold a phone in your hand. its also got good weight and broad enough for my long fingered hands...
UI is very well planned with simple menu icons that are well-spaced and the best part of the UI is of course the Theme creator. the easy version of it is not very useful. The expert level has more options. The user interface is just very well done.
Camera: it has a video call camera in front. The main 5 MP camera also has a mirror and Power LED flash by its side. the so called -Power- LED is.. well, powerful and comparable to xenon and better cuz you can use this in video as well. quality is pretty good if you have contrast on -50 (thats negative fifty!), Saturation on +50 and Sharpness on centre (0) or +50.
MP3 is clear and loud. Its Bang and Olufsen sound system. You can add up to 8GB SD card (although my friend has a 16GB in his and working well).
To cope with poor battery life, I charge the phone by plugging the phone to my PCs USB port witht he USB transfer cable and it charges but you can't access the file manager on the phone cuz its in PC mode now. but it [the battery] will last for two [and a half] days once fully charged.
Its an awesome phone and me loves the thing!!! ;)

Cha , 06 Jan 2009hi.. got my new U900 last december 30, 2008 and im wonderin... moreWell, the battery life of this phone isn't going to impress many. But this tip might help if you work on the computer a lot. I do, and I just plug the phone in using the USB transfer cable into a USB port on my computer and it charges. It [the phone] does go into PC mode and you can still operate everything except the File Manager. Thing is, the phone won't show any signs that its completely charged or not when in PC mode but I don't have a big prob with that. it does allow me to use the phone a little longer in the day. Not saying you HAVE to follow this but its just something I do to cope with the battery life. Haven't used my actual charger in a long time...

Hmmm..this makes me reconsider this phone, coz I'm planning to get SE W595 instead, if the mp3 volume of u900 is very low.. Loud enough and Clear sound quality is what I'm looking for..

I currently have this phone for over 3 month now. I mainly bought for the looks and secondary functionality. I really like it, it's very stylish and responsive, battery life is good despite some reviews, both mp3 player and camera work without issues. I was skeptical about the call volume, but bough the phone anyways, what I found the volume really varies, sometimes it's really loud and other times it's a bit low. I haven't had any major problems with the call volume, so it's not a show stopper for me. Overall I would give this phone 8/10 with call volume being the only issue. To note, ring tone and mp3 player volumes are fine.
