Samsung L700- Metallically Stylish- A Review

In the urge to provide best wireless communication across the world, Samsung has been introducing variety of mobile handsets. This time Samsung has come-up with Samsung L700 which claims to rock the wireless industry. The USP of Samsung L700 is its metallic body with solid construction and fast 3G speed.

As compared to other mobile handsets the list of disadvantage is short. Listed below are the main disadvantages of Samsung L700:

Relatively low display resolution
Video recording tops out at QCIF resolution
As compared to other Samsung handsets it has trimmed down user interface
Poor web browser

As compared to its classy metallic finish, one can say its performance is average. There are many shortcomings like trimmed user interface, poor picture gallery, lack of customization options, even with 3G data speed underperforming web browser. But with its strong points like good music player, Smart dialing, Google integration, ShoZu and an office document viewer makes it a tough competitor among low midrange handsets.

Lastly it could be said that with the features and the price, Samsung L700 seems to be an excellent alternative. All those who have already grabbed this metallically stylish Samsung L700, please use the comment section to leave your personal views and reviews about the handset.

Its a good phone, with some software bugs:
DRAWBACKS
1) Call reject functionality is not working though available.
2)If you are transferring some data to L700 through blue tooth then, and if phone memory is full then the transfer fails.
3)There is no option of automatic save to memory card. Battery backup is not very exciting.
4)Picture resolution is not very exciting.
4)All games are of trial version.
GOOF FEATURES

1)Good music player
2)Decent looks
3)Integrated google features.
4)3G features
5)vedio calling
