Samsung J700 Review
A sleek slider that could be mistaken for the far more advanced Samsung G600. It feels great in the hand and the sliding mechanism is both firm and secure.
A 1.3-megapixel camera, built-in music player and FM radio. The J700 also sports Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) and GPRS for internet browsing.
The phone's circular navigation key is wheel shaped but doesn't rotate as you might expect. Instead it operates as a four-way directional control and is simple to operate. The keypad's buttons are well spaced and the user interface is very simple to get to grips with.
Okay, so the 1.3 megapixel camera is fairly tame, but this is a phone with a very affordable price tag, which is also why you'll get the fairly pedestrian GPRS data speeds for web browsing. However, issues with performance/features simply have to take a phone's price into account, and these factors shouldn't put off the large numbers of consumers looking for a great looking yet affordable phone.
While it's by no means a market leader for battery life, the 275 mins of talktime and 250 hrs of standby time available with the Samsung J700 is perfectly respectable.
Pros: The Samsung J700 is one of the smartest looking entry level handsets available.
Cons: It's an entry level phone with entry level features.

Verdict: There is no denying the Samsung J700’s aesthetic appeal. But for features, you will get what you pay for.
