I've been eyeing this beauty for a long time now,
and I'm now pondering whether to get it or not.

But I've read bad reviews about it, such as the paint peeling off easily and the screen being full of fingerprints very quickly.

So I'm posting to ask what you soompiers think about this phone,
and particularly those who have used this model before.

1 more thing: this phone does support .mp4 formats right?

Thanks. smile.gif

my sister has this phone.
the llayout of it is kinda confusing, but i guess it wont be if you use a samsung already.

but yeah, she had to exchange it a few times cause first the screen stopped working, then her ringer/vibratingthing stopped working. it's working fine now though, batter dies out pretty fast.

I'm using this phone at the moment.
No complaints so far, everything's working well biggrin.gif
The paint does rub off quite quickly though and the plastic under it isn't very nice looking but just get a cover for it and it should be fine =)
As for the mp4, I'm not sure if this supports it since I haven't tried it yet ^^"

i fell in love at first sight with that phone, but ended up getting the u600 because of the bad reviews, especially regarding the paint peeling off easily. sad.gif basically u600 and u700 is pretty much the same, it's just that u700 is 3g. and i'm sure it can support mp4 formats, since my u600 supports that format as well. maybe you should get the black one, so that you wouldn't have to worry about the paint peeling off? it's not as pretty though, imo. biggrin.gif

I read that it was just the silver one that had the paint problem. I have the black one and I like it. It's only boo boo sometimes when it turns off by itself and the lights start flashing at me. o_O It might just be my phone though. Who knows?

No don't get it. The U700 absolutely SUCKS. Mine died out on me 2 months in kept in PERFECT condition with screen and body protection. I took care of the thing like a baby. All of the sudden it stopped getting reception. I took it to 3 repair places and they told me that the U700 has a common problem with losing reception because of the way its built.

If anything, I suggest you get a U600 because that thing won't die out on you. The U700 is a very good phone in terms of features. But if you must buy it, be careful with the slider. DO NOT ABUSE IT. Otherwise you will break the insides. I did abuse the slider because I constantly kept checking the time. And sliders are cool. But you can quite possibly prevent my problem if you don't abuse it.

Thanks for the replies, smile.gif
I don't think I'm getting it anymore.. worried I might regret it in the future considering how so many people are giving bad reviews.
I'm too lazy a person to go for repairs laugh.gif

i have mine for four months already and its been working great
the paint's peeling off though... however, it ain't really visible unless you look closely
yeah, there's a tendency for the screen to have full of fingerprints... if and only if you touch it.. i barely touch the screen so i do not have problems with that.. lol and the problems goes away in 3 seconds by wiping it
overall, its a good phone
the con.. the very touch-sensitive buttons..
