Samsung SGH-U900 Soul Review

[ddraguti]

The newest,as if the phone tends to send sms messages on it's own,that happened to me a few days ago while the phone was in my pocket and locked.Over 20 empty sms messages have been sent in 4 minutes.I thought it has something to do with my provider but they said it must have been something with the phone.Have no idea what.

[ddraguti]

This phone has some good sides but it's bad sides are real bad! The biggest failure are the battery.When the time come for battery to be recharged there is no extra time for battery to work,instead there is an instant warning "battery low",then the display light immediately turns to darker mode and phone won't respond anymore.After a few minutes the phone simply turns off.This phone is not good for being too much out of home.You need to have an extra battery with you all the time as a backup.

[77hiphopboy]

the only thing cool about this phone is the buttons that r like touch

[annybg]

That was my old phone :( It was great, but I broke its screen.

[Gemziie245]

[MusicManiaBand]

[mcal3c5]

i have this phone and it"s all i need

[alexstavi]

friends told me that when you talk wuth someone, your little display goes crazy!! cuz your ear its on it.. and this kinda sucks!

[Mrwikipedia1]

can someone please tell me how to put video's on this phone , When i do put a video on my phone it says unsupported resolution! , Some One Please Help , Thanks

[cricketfreak2010]

@Mrwikipedia1 Hi. First thing is that your video should be the resolution supported by the phone (240x320 QVGA), then make sure the precise bit rate is set during conversion.. meaning quality of the video and finally the frame rates.. Google "Allok video converter" and try it..

[edthetruckie]

how good is the next g coverage in australia

[BeckfordLeeds]

To anyone who got this phone. How is the other persons voice when you call?? I've read that it sounds unnatural, but I wanna know for sure...

[quellkoerper]

@BeckfordLeeds yeah it does sound unnatural, kinda "metallic"

[Erniestotle]

do iget 59 cents for watching this video (downloading) since its negative .59 cents?

[ninjafly11]

lol..cactus so random good vid btw

[meiks22]

i'm gonna get one :) well hopefully

[13fpsgamer]

@skrbicdu, no its not

its only slow when you switch photos

[RealFrogProductions]

I also have this phone, but you have a different menu than me ..

can you please tell me how you get that? I will subscribe ..

[sanman312]

@RealFrogProductions its just a different theme, go into the setting and look for a way to change themes.

[RealFrogProductions]

@sanman312 I mean different icons in menu

[PintleyFamilyMalta]

@RealFrogProductions its probably a different version like a u900V (version of the vodafone) mine its a bit different too

[danieru1979]

i imagine that it's korean crap as my last U600 that is already dead after use it for 1 year =S

[elisabetheverytime]

greeeeat phone i totally love it!

[f3styl]

iv had this phone for over a year now and im still trying to get it to connect to my comp so i can upload vids how do you connect it with the usb lead if you would be able to upload a vid of you doing it that would be great please

[AllwayzCrazy]

Ive had this fone 4 almost a yr but now i have 2 get a new 1 because people cant hear me when i talk 2 them . =[

I luved this fone . =[

[200dgb200]

i dont think that you can use the phone long, becaus the touchpad uses energy too

[jegsky106]

i have one!iloveit!!

[blamaster98]

i just have to buy this phone and thank you now i now some more

[2509maxi]

5.0 MEGA !!!

thats a good camera

[DanDropD]

1. whats the battery life like?

2. whats the boot time and shutdown time like?

[BabyFuggs]

the battery life's pretty crab to be honest, it lasts about a day for me. And the boot and shutdown times seem quick enough but just don't buy this phone.

[BabyFuggs]

*crap

[JustMeAgaiin]

@DanDropD I've had this åhone for over a year now.

The battery life is really good , in my opninion. But if you listen to the mp3 player for a certain period of time, it will use a lot of energy.

The touchpad is cool lol, it doesn't use as much "energy" as u might think it does. Hope this helps (:

[FloMonKish]

Can we use it in america now?

Hows the reception?

[hng9green]

your review was very good~

[shizzibloo]

Naaah the jet is even crappier

[shizzibloo]

I Luv It And Its Cool

[bountikilla]

I got this phone for Christmas and LOVE IT!!! But I have one issue with it. Dunno if anyone else is having this problem, but scrolling through files like MP3s or images on it is VERY SLOW. I was wondering if there's a firmware update of some setting that I can alter to make things move faster. I mean it literally takes minutes to scroll to the bottom of my music playlist of 200 songs. :-(

[TacTx]

@bountikilla

Use the buttons on the side (the one you are using for the sound), you can use this button to scroll faster trough your text messages and songs.

Cheerio!

[bountikilla]

Oh yeah!!! I hadn't realized that was the purpose of the button. Thanx!!!

[lolfactor007]

I've got this one.

It's a tough phone, dropped it a few times but it's still ok. :)

[jackyC712644]

i want to ask, what happens when you text?? because in sony ericsson phones, you can have a setting tht predicts the word ur going to type, does samsung phones hav tht ????

[woulfyx]

@jackyC712644 yes, same here

[Estherius]

maybe i will buy this one after christmas

[ngahngeh]

wat should i buy?

samsung soul, samsung jet, or samsung star?

need ur opinion a.s.a.p..

tq for ur kindly reply..

[chaotic13000]

[Airrifle2]

u can shange the colour on the samsung sole to pretty much any color

[BgirlSakura]

Is the same as the anycall SCH-w590? The touchscreen on the one I saw was colored and just looked better. Is it just a difference in setting?

[glamkat66]

I HAD THIS PHONE A WEEK AFTER ITS RELEASE IT WAS AMAZING IT WAS MY BEST FRIEEEND , it broke about 12 weeeks agooo , but it was amazingly structuured , i sware it was water risistant , it fell into the lake when we were in it and in my poccket when i jumpped into the sea at the beaach and it was still okaai :) i recommend this phone to anyone you would loove it :)

[mrbenrocks95]

SAME, I bought this phone about 3 weeks after UK release, best phone ive ever had, and yeah i dropped it in my sister's rabbits water bowl without noticing, came back 10 minute later realised it ws still there, just put it in the airing cupboard for about 30 minutes and it was completely fine :D

[sanman312]

@glamkat66 I got this phone about 2 years ago and god damn its taken alot of beatings. Ive dropped it, spilled different liquids on it, etc and the device is fine except for a small crack in the screen, still works like it did on day one. I dont really like it tho.. at all. Its lack of compatibility and wifi really lets me down

[mafijabrate]

[lekaslex]

[SiriDudee]

Yeah It does.

:)

[xXxSoulXEaterxXx]

when will this be sold in canada??

[crtandhan]

i have a pink samsung soul :)

i love it.

but there fricking ring tones xD

-crtnee.

[MelleJabby]

is the touch pad irritating? I mean is it hard to use like if you wanted to go up and accidentaly press the OK button or something?

[Smudgedit]

not really, the touch buttons are nicely spread and you can change the sensitivity. My settings are on most sensitive and still i've only hit the wrong button a few times and that was just my fault for not concentrating on it. I've never had any phone with a touch function and was a bit sceptical about it but you get used to it very quickly.

[MelleJabby]

Thanks! =)

I did have my hopes set on it but how can you people afford it? I looked on one site and found it was over £300!!

=O

[casso258]

luk on ebay, some guy got it for 62 pound

[SiriDudee]

Like once in a while. but the pad has big spacing so it's easier to use.

[MelleJabby]

Thanks =)

[lordwalden]

I wonder if it has WiFi..but I doubt that. I currently have u800, I hope Soul makes a good successor:P

[justemmaah]
