Oh and I wish it was in better condition. Oh and untill now..the microphone during speaker phone was great, but compared to the t829(as per the people I've talked to on the phone) it's not as clear as the t829..but it's still good.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=14598#review14598 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=14598#review14598 Wed, 18 Jan 2006 20:56:10 GMT <p><i>motorola1 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I would usually not spend this much ($280) on a phone, but it was exactly what I wanted, and I am not disappointed in the least. The only things I would preffer to be different are that the speakerphone function while the phone is closed (not a big deal), and that the FM radio be better, and work without the headphones (though, realistically, no FM radio this small could, and it is pushing the limits on reception quality as it is).<br /><br />Check the features, with the exception of the FM radio, there is no trade-off with any of them.<br /><br />Strange as it might seem, its actually worth the money.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=14400#review14400 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=14400#review14400 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 08:11:20 GMT <p><i>clutch_sjh submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is awesome! I bought one for my girlfriend for Christmas, fell in love with it, and bought one for myself. The screen is very clear, and the sound quality is awesome. We are using them with T-Mobile, and are having no problems whatsoever. The only things this phone lacks are voice dialing, and memory expansion (ie trans-flash memory). Overall the best phone I've ever owned. I highly recommend this phone to ANYONE!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13888#review13888 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13888#review13888 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 22:21:25 GMT <p><i>idreamoutloud submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Now this is a phone, is there anything this phone can't do, stellar photos, amazing sound, music, videos, games, you name it, its all there. and the phone is so tiny. Samsung how do you do it?!?<br /><br />This phone is probably one of the best phones I ever had the fortune of owning, however it was short lived. I purchased the phone on the web, and as I live in North America, this phone just isn't cut out for our networks. I had to send it back, If it had an 850 frequency aswell, then i would have kept it for sure.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13463#review13463 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13463#review13463 Thu, 01 Dec 2005 18:01:35 GMT <p><i>tigerhelp submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Both Samsung D-500 and E-730 is really weak on reception. I had 2 of D-500 for 4 months and it had issue with sliding. So, now I got E-730 which flip. Less memory, but I can live with that. Smaller and clock light always lit, so can't lost the phone in the dark. Really, the only complaint I have is the weak signal on both model phone. I got E-730 for $50 trading D-500 is worth it because it had FM radio.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13326#review13326 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13326#review13326 Fri, 25 Nov 2005 07:52:35 GMT <p><i>yoony22 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone off of ebay about a month ago, and I'm loving this phone. <br /><br />I'm using this phone with the Cingular network in Seattle, WA.<br /><br />One problem with this phone is that this doesn't have the 850 frequency, which limits the receptoin with the Cingular network. When I'm in my room, my friends with the crappy phones get a better coverage. Even my friends who have T-Mobile or Sprint gets better coverage.<br /><br />I really love everything about the phone. I would have gotten Sony Ericsson S-710, or now I could get the W-600, but this phone just looked so much better the smaller. <br /><br />Can anyone here help me with how I can access the Cingular's internet with this phone, or is it not possible?<br /><br />yoony22@yahoo.com<br /><br />Thanks,</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13174#review13174 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=13174#review13174 Sat, 19 Nov 2005 01:04:53 GMT <p><i>kewlguy210 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I recently just purchase the phone from compuplus.com for $295 shipped.

Dis phone puts the samsung P777 and especially the D500 to shame. I think dis is like the 1st samsung phone to ever have FM radio as part of its feature. Dis phone is worth buying.<br />This phone has:<br />Megapixel camera: which takes great pics<br />Video camera: That goes up to 60 mins<br />Mp3 player: Very Very Loud<br />And My favorites: <br />Fm radio: which is also loud<br />Bluetooth: very easy to tranfer files to and from ur phone.<br />Speaker Phone: clear as anyting can be! Just 1 con is that u can't close the phone and continue to conversate. If u do dat your call will just end. Whats also cool about this phone is that your mp3 songs can be also set as ringtones. Yes believe that!! Also the phone also has voice memo which also goes up to 60 mins of recording. Da voice memo can also set as your personal ringtones too.<br />Everthing else on this phone is just Da basic samsung features u will find in any other samsung phone.<br />Da front of da phone can easily catch finger prints, but just buy a nice cover for da phone and ur problems can be resolve. lol<br />Besides dat dis phone is da best ever!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=12124#review12124 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=12124#review12124 Thu, 22 Sep 2005 19:13:35 GMT <p><i>fred91682 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Got my phone on eBaY, didn't get from wirelessrush, however purchased my sister Moto v80 from them &amp; was another awesome phone, more girly though. Both me and my sister have service w/Cingular &amp; it's just spectacular. Upgraded from a Samsung SGH-P207 VERY BAD PHONE! TRIED MANY DATA CABLES!<br /><br />Pros:<br />- Black not Silver (so tired of silver)<br />- Great memory even without being able to use expansion memory cards.<br />- No antenna to break.<br />- Great 1.3 megapixel camera, snapshots up to 1152x864 (I use 1280x1024 sometimes to make wallpapers for my PC).<br />- MP3 Media Player w/controls on outter cover.<br />- Time, battery indicator &amp; signal indicators stay lit on outside of phone.<br />- Bluetooth<br />- High Volume<br />- Speakerphone<br />- Some pre-installed ringtones actually vibrate the phone to the music.<br />- Easily turned to vibrate mode like other Samsungs with single button press.<br />- Can show you what time it is in another time zone.<br />- 262,144 color internal display.<br />- Great sync with PC using data cable (my phone is loaded now with 25 MP3 songs and tons of wallpapers &amp; photos).<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Need to wear the earpiece (non-bluetooth) to be able to use the radio.<br />- Earpieces make you look like Optimus Prime.<br />- Missing the 850 band, although has not effected my service.<br />- The flash for the camera is weak.<br />- Need to store numbers in the phone memory to add the person's picture to their number or specify ringtone or call group &amp; doing so the person's name shows up twice in the phone book since saved to both phone &amp; sim.<br />- Image you can select to display on the front LCD is extremely small &amp; the freebies given in the phone are very poor quality images.<br />- After adding an entry to the calendar it does not return you to the calendar so you can add more entries, it boots you back outside the menu.<br />- Poor choice of keypad glow, keys glow white, should glow blue perhaps, or another color, or let you choose.<br />- T9 Predictive text input mode not default text input method, have to select it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=12074#review12074 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=690&r=12074#review12074 Tue, 20 Sep 2005 05:23:39 GMT <p><i>serfy submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-E730:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone because this site said it has a speaker phone, one of the reviews even said "the phone has to be open to use the speaker phone".

It has a rubber feeling to it and it is small and very light. It comes packed with features include FM radio, MP3 Player, Video Camera, Video Playback, 262k inner screen, 64K outer screen, Speakerphone, bluetooth, and much much more....The phone feels solid and the menu is easy to navigate. I love how the time is always displayed on the outside display and you can still use the screen for camera self portrait. I have this phone on T-mobile service and the signal is pretty strong as well. Only thing I didnt like was it did not come with a USB cable and software, but I guess thats just where you buy the phone. Really nice phone would reccomend it to anyone...A+ Samsung</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=690
