Only 2 things samsungs missed on this was chrome outer skin for phone scratches way to easily and should have added bluetooth. Otherwise good solid sammy.</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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=19278#review19278 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=19278#review19278 Wed, 11 Oct 2006 18:16:14 GMT <p><i>lil_wayne_1029 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is ok, I never really was a big Samsung fan because you cant sign a mp3 as a message alert. But that isnt this phones fault but the manufacturer. This is a 3g phone and I live in a non 3g area so i was not able to really test out the 3g features of the phone because of this. This phone looks really slick and you can really customize the phone.(messages,internal screan.) You can even customize the outter screan with one of three still images(penguins,a analog clock and two other images i cant think of)<br /><br />Pros<br />1. This is the best 1.3 megapixel camera ive come across in a long time.<br />2.the customization you can do on this phone is crazy.<br />3.3g<br />4.The look of the phone is different than whats out there.<br />5.the keypad is large and is easy to type numbers,and to text<br /><br /><br />Cons<br />1.No bluetooth<br />2.Cant change the message alert tone to a song but a annoying sound that came from the phone.<br />3.Cant put a picture u took from the camera on the external LCD<br />4.The outter Lcd is useless really they should of made this phone into a bar phone or slider.<br /><br /><br />This phone was ok for me since I got it for free to replace my w600i. But since i couldnt really use the 3g features because I was not in a 3g area it really sucked.</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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=18036#review18036 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=18036#review18036 Tue, 01 Aug 2006 17:38:51 GMT <p><i>jinanddevil submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I recently just got this phone when I warrantied my RAZR. I was glad to get rid of it. The zx10 is Great except for minor things.<br /><br />Pros-<br /><br /><br />-MP3 player is good, but the phone was not designed just as an MP3 player so not the best.<br /><br />-3G UMTS technology <br /><br />-1.3 Mega-pixel camera W/flash<br /><br />-Great battery life so far. I talked for about 3 hours strait with one battery bar.<br /><br />-Cingular Video is great and not choppy at all.<br /><br />-MobiRadio comes thru pretty clear. Clearer than most phones I've heard.<br /><br />-The buttons. This should be more of a selling point. These buttons are soft and extremely user friendly. No matter the size of the person they should find these buttons easy to operate.<br /><br />-Call clarity is amazing. Crystal clear calling even with low service. It may be delayed longer in low service, but it is still clear as if not clearer than any house phone I have ever spoke on.<br /><br />-Trans-flash supports 1Gb card.<br /><br />Cons<br /><br />-NO BUETOOTH. This just goes back to samsung not adding all features to one phone. D307, no camera; D357, no camera; X427, no sub LCD. Samsung tends to leave out one feature on most of their Phones tha would make them more useful.<br /><br />-No MobiTv. What the hell? 3G without the ability to watch live TV. The RAZR could and it was horribly slow, but you still could if wanted to.<br /><br />-Same balky Samsung OS.<br /><br />I have not found too much to complain about, but Blue-tooth is kind of a big thing for me. Everything else I can deal with.</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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=16962#review16962 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=16962#review16962 Thu, 08 Jun 2006 00:22:49 GMT <p><i>RHPF submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Most everyone has already covered all the important things. I just wanted to add my .02.<br /><br />I have been using a Siemens SX-66 for most of a year now, and while its big and bulky at least it gets decent reception.<br /><br />This phone has terrible reception, where other phones gets 3-4 bars (up to full), this phone had no reception or 1 bar. The battery life is also extremely poor, on one day not even lasting until bedtime (about a 14 hour day from when I unplugged it). <br /><br />The IRDA was also moody/picky, and worked sometimes and not others. Overall I was disappointed, so I returned 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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=16399#review16399 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=16399#review16399 Tue, 02 May 2006 22:55:41 GMT <p><i>celnut submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The main complaints I have about this phone are:<br /><br />Battery life is terrible (does not last 1 day)<br /><br />Does not switch from 3G towers to Non-3G towers quick enough, calls are dropped;<br /><br />Monochrome sub-lcd display - no picture I.D.<br /><br />Mic is not loud enough - people always complain they can hardly hear me (never had this problem with my Nokia);<br /><br />Earpiece volume is average - could be louder;<br /><br />This phone is getting returned since it does not function well as a phone.

If you want a practical phone at a good price this is way to go way better than the V557 or V551 for a fraction more. Takes a min or two to get use to navigation from Motorola. once you got it though its cake. Camera and video is great, Just ask the boys on Watchmeslapmyfriends.com website in process.

After a weeks work of usage with each phone I'm going to compare how one ranks next to the other...<br /><br />Battery Life - CU320 lasts about 2 days on normal usage w/ BT enabled and in use. The ZX-10 gives you about a day and there is no BT option. ADVANTAGE CU320.<br /><br />Screen - Both devices have very very nice 262k color screens and are about the same size. PUSH<br /><br />Speaker Phone - Neither phone sports an awsome speaker phone, but the LG is a little better than the Samsung. The other party can hear you little more clearly, and it's a little louder. ADVANTAGE CU320<br /><br />Camera - Both devices sport a 1.3MP camera w/flash, however both are fairly underwhelming when it comes to overall picture quality. Compared to the s710a, w600i &amp; 6682m the pictures don't look as nice but they are passable. PUSH<br /><br />Headset Ports - The Samsung ZX-10 has the same annoying proprietory headset that the e316/e317 supported. This means that the usage of stero headphones is completely out of the question. The LG, on the other hand, has a standard 2.5mm headset port and you CAN use the expansion slot to hold your MP3's and use the phone as your MP3 player (you might want to purchase the stereo headsets that are for the E1 Rokr if you can find them)! ADVANTAGE CU320.<br /><br />Bluetooth - Since the ZX-10 DOES NOT support BT, it's kind of an unfair comparison, but I think its unfair to have a 3G phone w/o BT. The CU320 supports BT headsets as well as file swapping. ADVANTAGE CU320.<br /><br />Overall, both phones are solid entries in the Cingular 3G. However the LG CU320 does go the extra step to add BT and the standard 2.5mm headset port for those of us who don't want to purchase a Rokr or Slvr but want an MP player phone. The signal stregnth for 3G for both was fair (WAS/BAL) and the Cingular Video in exeptional even w/o 3G coverage.</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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=15708#review15708 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=15708#review15708 Sun, 19 Mar 2006 04:02:20 GMT <p><i>jessarudy submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is one of the best phones ever! I am 15, and I purchased this phone as an upgrade from a Sony Ericsson T237 today, and I am completely satisfied! even though i didn't pay for the streaming video, and STILL don't know how to COMPLETELY work it, I love it, all the same!

I love everything about it besides the following:<br /><br />1.No bluetooth<br />2.Speakerphone is OK. Not to quiet, but not as loud as the Razor.<br />3.When watching Cingular Video, you can barely hear it. If you aren't in a room that is absolutely quiet, you wont be able to hear the volume, unless you stick it up to your ear.(which means you wont be able to watch the video)<br /><br />I bought the phone for the Cingular Video, to keep up on the NCAA tournament, and I'm pretty disappointed in the volume level. <br /><br />Other than these three things, I love the SD card and MP3 Player, the rotating 1MP camera/video, and the form. Its a beautiful phone.</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=826 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=15620#review15620 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=826&r=15620#review15620 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 13:28:10 GMT <p><i>pistolpete submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-ZX10:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Nice looks, feels good, polished chrome exterior might be more practical as brushed chrome, hope it doesn't scratch easily.

I like having it give me the basic info, and that's it. <br /><br />Screen's pretty good. However, the clock sits in a big orange strip that has the shadows for the number like a typical LED clock. It's annoying as it makes the time hard to read if you look at it straight on. The orange strip takes up WAY too much space on the screen.<br /><br />Calls sound pretty good. I think 3G sounds a little clearer than GSM, but that's just me. Speakerphone's a bit quiet. Has a faint "tinniness" when you're talking ... something I hadn't experienced with other phones. Not terrible though, and you get to the point where you don't notice it.<br /><br />IR works well for moving files to and from the phone from a laptop. Haven't tried the memory card yet.<br /><br />Camera's decent ... much better than the .3MP cameras most come with. But I think it's a good camera for impromptu moments when you don't have a real camera.<br /> <br />Headphone jack is proprietary. It looks like a mini-USB port that you would plug into a digital camera. So no standard headphones. <br /><br />Like LG CU320, it seems to want to hold onto a weak 3G signal instead of bouncing over to a stronger GSM signal. I dropped 3 calls on my way back from work. So there are definitely growing pains with 3G. Signal penetration isn't that good indoors either. I live in the Baltimore/Washington area, so the network's been around for a few months.<br /><br />Keypad feels a little rubbery. Doesn't bother me. However, the middle button brings up the wireless internet, and I don't like that. I don't subscribe ... don't have much need to right now.<br /> <br />Lack of bluetooth can be a drawback if you use BT devices, like headsets. It definitely does lock you into buying specific headsets to fit Samsung's jack.<br /><br />Overall, it's not a bad phone. It's pretty easy to use and has a lot of nice features. Does some have a few annoying issues, but it's pretty good overall.</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=826
