Summary: great phone, but battery issues are REAL
Review: i have had my samsung e-715 phone for 3 weeks. look is great, size is great, screen is great, reception and call quality seem fine. HOWEVER - the phone goes from "full charge" to dead battery in less than 24 hours with NO USE. if you use it then it goes dead faster. so i find myself going out of my way to NOT USE my phone and that's pointless, since i bought it to use it. i have read speculation that it is a battery problem, a firmware problem, or a charger problem. whatever reason, buyers are getting headaches. check the howard forums for (www.howardforums.com) for discussion of this phone.

Summary: DO NOT BUY...unless your willing to do without
Review: I bought the E715 about 5 days ago(April 19) and i turn on the phone without a problem no big deal..about 45 minutes after turn on 1 battery mark is gone, another hour another one is gone and it takes about an easy 3 hours for the phone to start flashing(LOW BaTT) the other problem i have faced was the camera being alot worse then the V205. The T722i by motorola is horrible! no service Camera stinks! i could draw a picture better then that but the camera on the E715 dims in and out and shows loss of perfection. but other then that I found the AOL I.M built in to be a great feature as well as all of the pictures and everything else..if your willing to bare with the camera and battery then i recommmend this phone but if your looking for a small light weight phone with a camera than go with the V300

Summary: Samsung leads the way
Review: The Samsung SGH-E715 is a very nice phone with features that I have never seen in other flip phones. Prior to owning a Samsung, I had a Motorola T722i and a Nokia 3510. The E715 is a dual band, "intennaless", camera (w/zoom and flash) phone. It is similiar to the E700 and E710 models that are being used in Asia and Europe respectively. The E715 has no external antenna which makes it so attractive and no antenna means that you don't have to worry about it being snagged. The camera boosts an outstanding zoom and a nice flash. It also has a light on the front cover that stays on for 15 seconds after the push of the button on the side. It's a dual band (900/1900). I have used it in Taiwan and the Philippines and it works great there. The buttons are easy to push and the LCD screen on the inside has a clearer screen then the Motorola T722i. It's small and very nice. And if you are thinking of "unlocking" it in the future that can be done so easily. I unlocked mine by way of 'remote unlocking' through a website meaning I didn't have to attach wire cables to my phone; all I had to do was enter codes...very easy to do.

Summary: Samsung E715 Voice Dialing!
Review: This phone is great excect a cpuple of features. The good news is the flash and the picture sizing is beautiful. However, when I pay ove $300.00 I expect all of the features. This phone does NOT have voice dialing and I was very disapointed. I was mis lead by a certain website that it did have this feature. The other feature it doesn't have is a speakerphone. I'm sure this is all a part of marketing but It would be nice to have it all!

Summary: after all, it is a phone
Review: Short and sweet. This phone does the most important thing, which is to stay charged, make clear calls without dropping them, and take decent pictures. In addition, it does way more. Every time I get this phone out, people ask about it. Samsung made a superior product, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Summary: Small, lightweight, very few concerns
Review: No speakerphone, no individual caller ringtone (you have to put a name in as a group for a ringtone to that name). The home charger cord to the phone has died twice. You'll end up purchasing one or getting T-Mo to credit your account for a new one. Other then these few concerns... the phone is top-notch. Excellent reception... gorgeous resolution...great camera capabilities.

Summary: The best phone I've ever owned
Review: ..and I'm from Europe, where the phones and networks are much better than in the States. I have to say that I think Samsung currently have the best software (and I used to be a huge Nokia fan). Amazingly light, very intuitive, great audio, and just looks great. I recommend this without any reservations whatsoever.

Summary: OK, but not super
Review: WEll i am not going to bore you with the details of the phone. But i am going to bring light to a few concerns. The 1st would have to be battery life, i am on the phone about an avg. of 1-3 hours a day and this is really annonying to have to remember to recharge in the middle of the day. The 2nd would be an very very important thing that should be taken note of. This is the entire reason i sold this phone. when the folder is closed (the flip) the phone hangs on to a phone call for about 10 seconds, and the mic is working. I know that this is not a big concern for many, but when i am placing bids on contracts, OR speaking of a customers sensitive info, this is totally unacceptalbe. I know this is a good TOY, with a camera, and color screen...but is lacks power user features such as blue-tooth, IRA (that works), speakerphone, long battery life, and ability to hold a GPRS (internet) connection to a laptop for more than 20 min before going dead. I sold this phone and purchased a Nokia 6610, and have had MUCH MUCH better time........ i only recommend the E715 to those who are looking for a camera phone, and only care about looks, and not function.
