As we all know, Samsung products don't come at low prices (unless you buy their product off the back of a lorry ;P). Anyhoo, you'd expect their products to at least have the simplest of functions...

One thing i've noticed with the E715 is that there isn't an option to copy ALL contacts from the sim to the phone (vice versa). This can be very annoying as you have to transfer them one by one (imagine if you have 200 contacts!). Another is that you cannot send or receive media via Infra-red. Another issue is that you can connect your phone using IR to a computer, but there isn't actually any software available to do anything once connected.

There are many good points, such as the funky multi-coloured flashing light on the front of the phone (which the previous E700 didn't have) and the high quality camera which works well with the rich in colour 65,536 coloured display. I found surfing using WAP difficult and rather slow, even using GPRS. When using WAP the phone doesn't respond to key presses as fast as you'd expect it too. The Samsung E715 doesn't have different alert types/profiles to select from. Only two are available, General and Silent Mode. There is no loud, discreet, quiet etc which again can be very annoying.

Overall the E715 has good points, but it also has alot of bad points. But still a good mobile from samsung again.
