This is a replacement for the Galaxy Y - much smaller and unreliable. The features are good and easy to use / understand. As a budget smart phone, this is really good, maybe should have opted for more memory - but that hammers you on price again. So as a modest budget smartphone, this is really good. Screen size compares well to iPhone 5 / 5c / 5s and the sensitivity is good. Can be used for tablet type reading applications, but it is a phone, and the resolution is not as good / clear / sharp as the legendary iPhone 5 series, but then, its about £300 cheaper, so can you really complain? - If you need high quality images or sharp type a lot, then this probably isn't your phone. But if you need it for now and again stuff, but not intense work or critical previews, then its absolutely fine. Great phone with clever features. Samsung are usually great, and are here.

Robust, reliable, mobile, recommended - Wish I could say that for the wife.
Seller is great.
Product is hardy - I got the 500mb cos the old 40mb had and is performing so well, is suited to being shoved in a laptop bag and carted about and OK with being banged into loads of PCs as required, does great easy data transfers or dumps. Make sure your USB is sufficiently powered (most are, but if not you need a double lead - plug freecom into usb lead into 2 usb ports on machine). The flex all in one usb attachment lead much stronger than looks - many times I have had hard drive hanging by it for some space necessity and not bust. Is a bit heavy to hang from a port, not recommended, just saying it is man enough to take the commercial knocking around they get from mobile managers tied to laptops and needing frequent independent back up to hand. I was only disappointed that nearly the first 50 gig (yes read it, nearly 50gb) was taken up in formatting, - more than the total size of my old one- so really this is more like a 450 gb in terms of what is available to you. I know they all do it to some degree but you know, dont tell me how big the Nasa rocket is, I only want to know how many passengers. Aside from that grumble that applies across the board, it is great and if you're not as miserable as me, you will be delighted and well served by it.

Can't go wrong.
If you want a phone that is mainly a phone, but can do some other stuff really well, you wont be disappointed. This is great as a business phone or a personal phone. This is my second - no, the first one still works fine - but for another family member. Fantastic memory for tons of media, great picture quality, great MP3 playback and storage. Downside? well I dont like the buttons. Well its a slither of metal. It works fine and even my paws are 95% accurate but buttons they aint. Screen is great, and overall slimline / weight is great for top pocket etc. If you want specs look them up - they are great no surprises really. Not sure what I would have after this, you have to either max out here or go into the world of iphones and androids. Different story. They hold their price too. Must say something for them.
