I was a bit apprehensive when i bought my Samsung soul as i have had to send other models back in the past due to problems with the touch sensitive screen but I am so glad i went for it. The Soul is amazing even though i had a few problems getting the back off to get the sim in so far so good. I would say that sending text is a bit long winded but i guess i need to give myself more than 36 hours to get used to it and the same with the camera, there are different options so i need to figure out what is best.

I have had a play around with my friend Samsung U900 and I love it, the pictures are crystal clear, better than any camera phone i have come across. The music quality is great too. I think Samsung have got a winner here and are big competitors for the Nokia N series range!!!

I love my Samsung soul, the only problem I am having is accidently cutting people off when I am on the phone as the softkeys are quite sensitive. The layout takes a while to get used too. It took me a few days to figure it all out but I am really pleased I chose this over the Nokia N95 as it looks better and is no where near as chunky.

I think there are very hight expectations of the Samsung soul this year. I have mine for a few days, there are some really good points. The phone looks incredebly sexy, It had a sleek exterior, the softkey touchpad is good. The screen is really clear and the picture quality is good too. The music player is great but there are a few bad points. The internal memory is rubbish for those who use there phone as a sustitute to an ipod you will need a memeory card. The extra features aren't very good, not much choice of wallpapers and tones and it is lacking a zoom on the camera. Other than these few minor things it is a good phone and def worth purchasing.
