Summary: small but powerful...
Review: This phone has everything! it has digital camera, organizer, internet, voice recorder, and many more features! Also its very small, sleek, light and fancy. The digital camera resolution is pretty good(I think above average). The battery seems small and week but it last for long time. The battery can last up to about 300 hours (if you don't use it for that long) and you can talk up to 4 hours! I believe that this is the best phone out right now!

Summary: a good upgrade from the v205
Review: i upgraded recently from the samsung v205 and i was pleased with this new phone. it's compact and light frame felt solid in my hands. never at one time did i feel like i was going to accidently drop it. the two-tone finish is slick and the bright color screen is eye candy. the phone's intenna is actually an improvement over the v205's external. it seems i can hold signals better in the same area i had trouble with using the v205.

the thing that i love about this phone is the camera. such a big improvement over the v205. not only does it have a flash and zoom, it seems the pictures just come out clearer. you can even use the pictures you take as caller id.

my only complaints with the phone are: no voice dialing, crappy selection of installed ringtones, not being able to use pictures sent to you as caller id, and you can't mute the camera shutter when you take pictures.

a good choice for a compact phone that has a great camera. hopefully the next camera phone samsung comes out with has voice dialing.

Summary: I love the phone but it has some real problems
Review: This phone is amazingly small and light for a camera phone; it even has a flashlight/flash. Two problems the phone has that I find to be a real problem: 1. The battery life is the worst of any phone I've ever owned. It MAY last 3 days in stand by IF I don't use it at all; if I use the phone, no more than two days on a full charge. 2. No voice activated dialing. I like to use a speaker type hands free kit in the car and my last few phones have had voice dialing, so I don't have to look at the phone to answer, talk or dial. This has no voice recorder or voice dialing. I think all phones should have it. It is not very user friendly, like the Motorola phones I've used and it doesn't sync with your computer. They are now coming out with a software that will let you backup the info you have already stored in the phone, but no syncing with Outlook or anything else.
Like I mentioned, I do love the phone for it's size, weight and even the color, but I've purchased 3 additional batteries and every kind of charger available.

Summary: Great phone, but some flaws
Review: My last phone was the AWESOME Samsung S105; a full featured phone that I miss..but not too much. The Samsung E715 is certainly better, especially the screen quality.

Pro's:
1. Great design and good build quality
2. External display
3. Flashlight feature with LED external light that is also used as the camera flash
4. Fairly quick internet connection with T-Mobile service
5. High quality head phone

Con's:
1. When closing the flip phone during a call it doesnt disconnect for a few seconds so if the other party starts to say.."wait hold on a minute"..it in effect gives the impression that you've heard them and then choose to disconnect them. Trust me this has happened several times. It's annoying.
2. The camera makes this ANNOYING and LOUD snap shot noise when taking a picture. It's due to regulatory requirements in Korea so it cannot be turned off or lowered. Very annoying.
3. The battery life is hardly that good. Buy a car charger. They are only about twenty bucks.
4. There are ZERO "regular" ring tones; ie - a "ring ring" or a "buzz buzz". Most are odd ball tones and songs that sound immature for anyone not in highschool. However, T-Mobile offered to credit me back for the cost of downloading one off the net.
5. You cannot assign ring tones to specific callers; something that was offered on the S105. This is by far the worst feature I belive. Now I have to run to look at my phone every time it rings if it happens to be in another room at home. Before I could "hear" who was calling by the tone that was assigned to that caller.

Over all I love the phone and think Samsung did a great job at designing this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I love mine
Review: but the stuff that came with it (ringers and such) are a bit campy. I found a link to http://muwap.com here on amazon (with the 10% off coupon) and downloaded everything I needed. I'd buy the phone again in a heartbeat.

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: A GREAT PHONE
Review: this is a great phone some of the other people say the battery life is horrible this is not true all you have to do is recharge between 4-5 times and the battery life will be much beter on stand by and when you talk on the phone one thing thats not the best is that the phone does not have a speaker so in the car you cant call anyone without using your hands but its not that big of a deal all you have to do is program your phone with the people you want to call and you can get a headset and just go to the person you want to call and use the headset the last thing is that this phone is the best looking phone ever the motorola phones look so bad and are completly ugly even though the phone is not cheap (and i live in beverly hills) its worth the money so you should go out and buy one

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Phone.
Review: I bought the phone from the t-mobile store with a previous serviec so it was indeed a bit pricey. However i felt that it was a great phone to have. First off, even when the phone is closed, it has great uses. You can use the external camera feature (press and hold the camera button) and also can use the flash as an external flashlight (press and hold the down button). The phone itself was great because it had so many different types of features. The camera is excellent with its zoom and brightness capabilities. It also has memory stored for different things so there's no need to worry. (Certain kbs for games, pictures, ringtones, etc...) The only problem that I had with the phone was after a little while, it started to lag a bit. If i hit the aroows to go throught the phone book, there would be a few seconds of delayed reactions. Other than that, I thought that the phone was great.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Samsung E715 Phone
