Summary: Best Samsung Phone Ever
Review: I have owned almost every samsung Phone that has been hyped and updated, i have to say that this phone is one of the best. I was afraid that this phone would be a disapointment like the V205, but i was mistaken. Not only is this phone beautiful in looks, the specifications cannot be beat by any phone. The picture quality on the camera is excellent, the color is amazing and the reception is just as good as what i received on my S105. If i had to recommend a phone that is similar to the E715...i would recommend the S105, the LGVX6000, and of course its older brother, the E700. The only thing that i wish that the E715 inherited from the E700 was the color screensavers with the bouncing balls. This effect would make it similar to the LGVX6000. BUY THIS PHONE!

Summary: Reception is not as good as Samsung GSM is known for
Review: Bought this phone when it came out and returned it three days later....

In areas where my Samsung S105 would just cut out this phone DROPPED
Guess the internal antenna was a bad move for Samsung...

Also, the camera flash was nothing more than a flashlight... haha and the camera quality was a novelty too...

Other than that it was a cool little phone but NO WAY was it worth over $100.00

Summary: just ok
Review: Just bought the Samsung E700 cell phone (doesn't have the flash). A nice phone but .....
•its dual band
•no voice dialing
•no bluetooth
•really short battery life (2-3 days with 20 mins talking time / day)

taking into consideration its price I'd say its just ok.

Summary: The Samsung time bomb
Review: After a Samsung V205 which had problems, I was staying away from Samsung products but was given this by my company. Samsung seems to have problems with their charging circuitry or software because this phone developed the same sort of problem that my old V205 did. I would charge it all night, have a full charge in the morning, and 10 minutes into the first call of the day, it would die; the battery was flat dead. This charming behavior began a few months into my ownership. You have to really research it on the net, but I did eventually find out that this is a problem with Samsungs in general (although it's remarkable how difficult it is to get that information -- Samsung must have quite a legal department).

I won't bore you with the warranty hassles dealing with Samsung. Suffice to say that you will have to fight for every concession and in the end probably just toss the phone and buy a different one. That's what I did.

However, I don't give this E715 only one star despite its showing the same charging problems. This is a slick little phone with a lot of great features, so it gets an extra star. I don't really mind the charging problem because when it started to croak the company gave me a new one. If you can work a deal like mine where you get a new one for free every few months, I highly recommend this phone.

Summary: Just two words: Awesome Phone
Review: Ok guys! Time for my review. Got this phone on Feb 28, 2005. I must say it possesses great looks apart from features. I was in a dilemma whether to buy V600 or e715, but finally landed on e715 since it is lighter. Agreed that this phone doesnt have bluetooth, but be frank folks, how many of you actually use Bluetooth?? If so, doesnt ur battery drain like hell? If i need to transfer data, the Infra Red port is sufficient. If i need to talk handsfree, the ear bud is sufficient. About camera, i am not a camera freak, if i have to take snaps, i have a digital camera.

Overall, 5 stars from my side. Dont know about the screen getting too bright after 5-6 months, but 2-3 of my friends have had this fone for 1 year and they had no problems like that. So, guys... Keep Fingers Crossed, but Eyes Open!!

Summary: Great phone so far
Review: OK so I was looking to ditch Cingular because I was drawn to T-Mobile's plans and sheer attractiveness of their line of phones. This Samsung phone was (and still is) the ONLY phone that truly catches my eye. It looks great from any angle, and it's one of those phones that people naturally look at and want to touch. It's happened to me when people see mine lying out. Something surprising is how LIGHTWEIGHT it is, especially for being a camera phone. The screen is extremely bright, good display of colors, and I've had really good reception. I thought it might be a little worse because of its internal antenna but luckily this hasn't been the case. It holds a LOT of pictures, right now I have like 100 saved on it. The ringtones, I'll admit SUCK (for lack of a better word) so I keep it on the generic T-Mobile ring because I'm not into downloading them online. It's held up well too, it looks fragile but it still works perfectly even after having been dropped several times on concrete and BEING immersed in water in the toilet. I KNOW. The only two things I wish this phone had are: memory to hold more than 30 text messages in its memory before filling up, and slightly better battery life. Other than that, sleek looking phone, works great, GET IT.

Summary: Keeping my fingers crossed
Review: I bought this phone for my wife a month ago, and she really liked it. It worries me that the past a few reviews are so negative. But I believe these claims are absolutely true. My first two samsung phones (SPH-300 and A460 from Sprint) all had display problems before. The first one lasted 3 years, and the second one only lasted 2 years (Can you believe I am so loyal to Sprint with very very poor receptions?). That's part of the reason that I switched to T-mobile. If the trend keeps, maybe this one will only last less than a year :)

Other than this, the phone is really great. Taking sharp pictures, a lot of memory space, sleek looking outside, the size fitting your hand just about right.

Summary: Choose another model
Review: I have owned this phone for exactly one year, and here is my report. About six months ago horizontal white lines began to appear on the LCD screen and, over time, the problem began to get worse and worse. Exactly one week ago I turned off my phone and allowed it to charge overnight. In the morning I turned the phone back on and discovered that I could no longer see anything on the internal display - it had whited out.

This is a very common problem with this Samsung model and it is enough reason to stay away from it. Testimonies from other reviewers on this site, and others, corroborate this, but if you still want to take a chance on this model then you should be aware of some other potential problems that this phone suffers from.

When you view a complete log of all sent and received calls whenever you press the Send button, scanning through them is a real hassle. Pressing a key once often cycles through three entries, and it's annoying when you want to make a call to a phone number in your log but the phone keeps overshooting it. Very buggy, not to mention excruciatingly annoying.

Also, a couple months ago all of the address book entries that were stored on my phone got deleted. I have no idea what could have caused this, but it apparently is another common problem with this model.

The supplied ringtones that Samsung offers on this phone are nothing short of pathetic. It seems every ringtone that was programmed into this phone was meant for teeny boppers or little kids. There are no standard ringers on this phone and because of this I had my phone on vibrate all the time when I was out and about.

However, if the ringtones are your cup of tea you cannot assign them to individual contacts. The only way you can do this is if you make your contact part of a group in your phonebook. Why Samsung would make it so that you can assign ringtones to groups, and not individual address book entries, is a mystery.

When you close up the phone to end a call, the phone still stays on the line for well over a second. This means that if somebody were to say, "wait, I forgot to tell you something" it leaves them with the impression that you just hung up on them.

This was a very disappointing offering by Samsung, and I'm quite surprised that they haven't issued a recall of this model due to its host of defects, and I'm equally surprised that T-Mobile continues to sell this phone with their service.

You would be better suited with another model.
