Review of GSM/UMTS-handset Samsung U800 Soul

Mobile-review have posted their review of the Samsung U800 Soul. Here is their final impression.

The reception quality put up by the U800 is in line with other Samsung-branded devices. The ringtone volume is quite decent, as it can be heard in various environments. The silent alert is average strength-wise, no significant improvements have been made here, but compared to the U900, the new U800 is a wee bit louder.

The U800 is a well-rounded and well-balanced phone – it feels comfortable in the hand, packs in quite a bit of features and boasts a dazzling display. It doesn’t have any striking failings, bar the possibility of the display surface wearing out over time (but all you need is a pinch of care for your phone and this should do it). And it’s up to you what to think of its design – some like handsets more along the lines of Sony Ericsson W880i, some prefer the U800, Motorola L9 and the likes.

At 350 Euro the U800 is a fairly great fashion-savvy offering that will generate sales at least on a par with the Sony Ericsson W890i, for these two are pretty much in one league. If you are in the market for a svelte handset for calls and probably some music, then the U800 should definitely be on your short-list.
