Well...where to start ? I will start with the pros. Very good screen. Very bright and very good resolution. That´s it for the pros ! Short, isn´t it ?
The cons:
Battery life very short, even if you turn off 3G features. To do it just go to connection setting and set the network to GPRS. So the phone will not try to switch between GPRS and UMTS. If you leave it and there is poor UMTS...the phone goes to Emergency Services Only and freezes !! You must reboot like a good PC under W98 !! But there is not Cntrl+Alt+Del ! And this several times a day.
Sound is not loud...I miss calls constantly ! Vibration does not help much ! Alarm clock works sometime...it has its own life I think ! I still did not find the reason why it works one day, and one day not ! But the funny thing is that when you set the alarm clock, the previous alarm that did not ring starts ringing !! Very funny ! Like it´s 22h and the alarm clock set at 7 AM 3 days ago rings ! Also the schedule...same pb, events are not shown...sometimes they are shown when you set the alarm clock !! Does anyone understand ??!! So you miss calls, wake up, events...who programed this phone ??!! Was it done by a student during a summer school ?!
Really disappointing. I will never ever buy a Samsung mobile again. NEVER EVER !

just got this phone. not that impressed. battery life is terrible. the menu is incredibly hard to get around. been trying to turn 3G off, vodafone website didnt have info on this, i had to come on here to find out how to do it - very poor.
and i agree with someone down there, the ariel is bloody horrible.

As previously stated switching off 3G will make a big difference to the battery life. It can easily be switched back on if you need it.
True, the ringer isn't very loud and that's a bit disappointing.

Looks great! Unfortunately it isn't...
The most irritating feature is the overly short battery life - I can't go more than a day without charging it.
The camera is not their most user friendly, particularly whan it comes to zooming- and it lacks the flash that more basic phones have.
The loudest ring setting is also not very loud, so vibration needs to always be on when outside, and this further drains the short life of the battery.
Most other features aren't too bad, but their are much better samsung phones out there.

Just got this phone and I think its terrific. Great design and quality features at a very cheap price.
Battery life is not a huge issue for me as I don't use my mobile a huge amount but truning the 3G off seems to at least partly solve that problem.

Well, in my view, I think that the Z140 is better than the other two coz:
-> LG S5200 - it's not a 3G phone and the baterry sucks, but it has 64Mb memory...
-> SLVR - it's not a 3G phone and battery also sucks but it has a Card slot!!!
The Z140 battery isn't good too... mine lastes 3 days, but the rest is great! I like the phone, so I'm thinking in buying an extra battery. Take a look at the SonyEricsson K600i, V600 and K608... I would buy one of those if I bought my phone now... but between Z140 and LG S5200 + SLVR, I choose Z140...
Good shopping!

i've had this phone for 2 months, and there's nothing i like about it. the battery lasts 36-48 hours, the camera does whatever it wants to despite playing with the side buttons. vodafone live doesn't work on.... there's only one good thing i can personally say about: i can't wait to get a replacement!

Thanx for the tip about the camera.
I think this phone is really good. It has a lot of memory, unlike some other phones and it has a really good media player!
