Samsung Chat 335 Review

Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Samsung Ch@t 335 is a budget BlackBerry-beater.
With a full QWERTY keyboard and an optical trackpad, it's ideal
for texting, emailing, facebooking or tweeting. We love its superslim
quality feel that fools people into thinking you've bought a high-end
handset. The phone comes with Wi-Fi, an FM radio, music player and
a 3.5mm headphone jack. It can accept memory cards up to 8GB. The
camera may be little more than a toy, but everything else about
the S3350 Chat shouts quality. Available in Black, Pink or White.
Best buy: *Free* with free line rental from Dialaphone
(Black) or Dialaphone
(White); or on Pay as you Go for £52.49 from PrePayMania
(Black).

Move over BlackBerry, Samsung is here! The Samsung
Ch@t 335 (or Samsung Chat if you prefer, since the web isn't very good
at @ characters) looks like a BlackBerry, smells like a BlackBerry and
does very much what a BlackBerry does. Yet it retails for less than
half the cost of the entry-level BlackBerry
8520. Is this for real?
We gave Samsung's first attempt at a budget BlackBerry,
the Genio Qwerty, a bit of a
thumbs down. But the ch@t is something altogether different. Although
it retails as a budget pay as you go phone, Samsung have styled it as
if it really were the BlackBerry-beater it yearns to be. It's pretty
much the same size as the BlackBerry 8520, but noticeably slimmer, being
ultraslim at just 11.9mm. Yet it doesn't feel like it's about to snap
in half. It has a metal finish and a quality feel about it. The QWERTY
keyboard has been completely re-engineered and is much easier to use.
The keys aren't huge, especially the space bar, but they're as big as
they can be in a phone this size and they respond nicely to the touch.
You can program shortcuts into the QWERTY keyboard for fast access to
favourite apps.
The display is completely standard for this kind of
phone: 2.4 inches, 320 x 240 pixels, LCD. It's the "correct"
display for the phone. Between the display and the keyboard sits the
optical trackpad, which differentiates between normal finger movement
and fast swipes, helping you to move around the screen and scroll up
and down easily. We have to say that QWERTY keyboard + trackpad + slim
design = superb ergonomics.
So, we've got a great keyboard, let's start typing.
The Ch@t is great for texts, emails and instant messaging, and equally
handy if you like to tweet or catch up on facebook. The Chat may not
be a 3G phone, but it's about the only sub-£50 phone that comes
with Wi-Fi, so it's pretty nippy getting on to the net. As well as Wi-Fi,
there's Bluetooth and USB connectivity too.
The Ch@t is no smartphone, but there are a few apps
you can install and it comes with 5 embedded Java games. You won't get
bored on the bus either, because it has a music player and an FM radio,
with the ability to record songs from the radio. The 3.5mm audio connector
lets you plug in any standard-fit headphones for the best audio quality.
Like most other phones in this price range, the camera
is very limited, being just 2 megapixels and with no autofocus or flash.
It can record video, if you really push it, but don't expect much from
it. It's fair to say that imaging is not the Chat's strong point, but
then the BlackBerry 8520 and the Nokia
C3 are no better.
The memory of the phone isn't huge, but is adequate
for the job at 60MB. If you're going to use the Ch@t as your music player,
you'll want to buy a microSD memory card, and the Ch@t can take cards
up to 8GB. The battery isn't very high powered, but the phone manages
to eke out enough juice to last a couple of days between charges, even
if you use it quite heavily.
We've been quite charmed by the Ch@t 335, despite its
silly n@me. It sets out to deliver the power of a BlackBerry for half
the money, and we think it succeeds. Corners have been cut in certain
places, but not in core functionality, nor in build quality or aesthetics.
As a result, we really can't find fault with this phone. If you want
to spend more money and get the real thing, then the BlackBerry
8520 is the one to choose, and you might also like to check out
the Nokia C3.
Features of the Samsung Chat 335 include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom
- Video camera (15fps, QCIF)
- Display: TFT, 240 x 320 pixels (2.4 inches)

I bought the Chat as a cheap bridging phone as my old one broke 1 month
after renewing my contract. It is very good in fooling others that it
is a Blackberry. There are annoying quirks - the Twitter App has stopped
working and switches the phone off automatically every time I try to
use it, now the Facebook App does the the same so I have to access these
sites by typing in the URL. Lately the phone is refusing to connect
to the internet (although beforehand it was sporadic).
It was a phone I was delighted with but now I am getting increasingly
frustrated by it's flakey performance.

I got the phone for Christmas. Except unbelievable built quality from
an ease of use point of view it is a disappointment. I was happy to
have a phone that I can access several email adresses although there
is no direct access to GMail as in a Nokia although the seller promised
this to my wife. When opening the Email inbox it is impossible to receive
instantly your emails and -wait for this- you have to delete all emails
first because of "maximum number of entries reached" every time and
then reload the whole email list including the new ones. When the new
ones are there you still have to "retrieve" each and every email contents.
Bluetooth for in car usage works well although the Samsung asks you
each and every time to connect or not and there is no possibility to
recognise your car once and for all and connect automatically. If you
get in and out of the car often this is annoying. Internet is hopeless
and keylock comes too fast. Bottomline is if you want a good looking
and well built phone for chat and calls it is perfect but don't use
it for anything else. Regards.

I've had a Blackberry and Nokia E72, the promblem I've found with these
is the quality of the voice calls, they are rubbish! So I decided to
try a Samsung Chat@335 the call quality is far superior, and though
the other features are basic they all work adequately. For it's money
10 out 10.

i bought this phone about a month ago as my blackberry broke an needed
something to replace it until i was due an upgrade. the phone looks
nice but occasionally when im writing a text not all the letters come
up so i end up spelling loads off words wrong... and it takes a long
time to scroll bak to the words u want to correct. Also wen i try and
go on the facebook app the phone keeps restarting which is very annoying.
saying that the wifi and camera are good and you can put a memory card
in if you want more space for your song/ pics etc... good phone if you
are on a budget or for a short-term thing, luckly my upgrade is next
week as i think a month is far long enough to be using this phone.

Me and my friend Emily had a competition - she bought a Blackberry and
I bought a Samsung Ch@t on the same day, and we both use our phones
approximately the same amount, for the same things, and are both fairly
careful. Since October when we got the phones, Emily's Blackberry Bold
has been in for repairs for a total of 2 months, and has had a lot of
electrical faults, whereas nothing has gone wrong at all with the Samsung.
It is perfect, and it can do pretty much everything that a Blackberry
can, except maybe the camera isn't great, but for under £50, you wouldn't
expect it to be. It is the ideal budget phone and I have lost count
of the number of times it has been called a Blackberry by my friends.

when you compare the price, you just forget about it. So far i am enjoying

Loving my new Samsung Ch@t. Great to get back to keyboard and trackpad
after awkward touchscreen scrolling of last phone. NIGEL from UK - I
think your "unable to send multimedia messages" problem was explained
to us at the shop. On contract free minutes cover the basic texts and
calls - not picture messages or calls to/from abroad. We were advised
to put a 'pay as you go top up' of say £10 on the phone that would sit
in the background but would be there to pay for multimedia messages
or international calls.

I've had this phone, since this morning. I got it at carphone warehouse
on an upgrade, for £50. I thought at the time, for £50, it's nothing
special. Well, as usual, I was wrong. This phone is a really unique,
nice, slim, realiable phone to use. People say, "Blackberry's are way
better." THATS BECAUSE YOU SPEND LOADS OF UNNESACERY MONEY ON IT. I
recommend this phone to anyone. If your in doubt to buy it, I say HELL
YEAH. The wifi's really nice as well, I can use google, facebook (via
wifi, not the social networking app), youtube, EVEYTHING, all for free
on the wifi. The only thing that stumped me, was that it doesn't come
with a USB lead, So I can't transfer music. But apart from that, it's
great, and you can also put memory cards in, the MicroSD ones to be
precised. Not all the photo's worked, (as i transfered them onto my
phone, from my memory card) but thats not something I'm going to loose
sleep over. Have fun with this phone,it's the best that money can buy.

I bought this yesterday as a cheap back-up phone, it's more on the looks
that it takes its edge over the other cheap QWERTY phones like Nokia
C3. But in terms of functionality, it's more on the basic side, but
that's what you get with a cheap feature phone. I tried to install Facebook
for every phone which is java based, but it failed to launch the app,
it reboots every time I tried to open the app. The keypad is quite on
the difficult side to use, aside from being too small, flat and crowded,
it's also quite hard to press, as I see it's made out of a rubbery plastic
material. The built-in social networking apps, such as twitter and facebook,
are quite annoying to use, something you wouldn't like and get used
to when you have experienced using the same apps in a full pledged smartphone.
Overall, I'd give it a 4 on the somewhat "svelte" looks, but average
(2) on the functionality. So that's 3.

Charles, this is normal. It just indicates that your network supports
EDGE data transfer, which is faster than GPRS. Having an E on your screen
shows that you have a strong signal!

The Bad: Signal poor on Tesco/O2, Occasional Freezing, Poor camera/video
pathetic, Takes minutes at times to load browser,Does not support many
apps,Slow, No service/network error/connection to server ended errors,
WiFi works but connection options not straightforward for apps in use.
I went back to my faithful Nokia N95, even my old Blackberry 8320 is
superior for a old banger.In fact i would go as far to say that most
Chinese dual sim mobiles are superior and cost less which is sad. I've
unlocked mine and will sell the disappointing phone and go back to a
modern Nokia or Blackberry. Samsung have failed even with this budget
mobile when compared to even cheaper mobiles on the market. Best if
you only text and talk to yourself and want a cosmetically good looking
mobile.

I bought this phone as my iphone broke and i had 3 months left of my
contract. All i wanted was to get on the internet and text however when
i got it i realised that i can only go on the internet at home as no
other wifi hotspots work. Also in order to have this i was told to downgrade
from my iphone contract and then pay more on a contract for this phone!
When i do get on intenet it says not enough memory. Facebook will not
let me update anything just read. Twitter wont even work. Voicemail
is always unavailable and i cant even send picture messages. Will never
get this phone again!

I went from iPhone to this one-so very big difference I have to say
its quite easy to use, I have it in pink as husband wants one too now
- just wanted a phone to talk and text - no worries about losing it
or breaking it like the £300-500 phones you can have.

My favourite phone on the Market and I am not lying here, I seriously
will keep until she breaks. I have got the ch@t 335 in pink it is amazing.
The only thing is that the samsung in white looks very tacky. But oh
well !!! It's also bombproof because I dropped it in my ponies stable
and it bounced of the wall to her leg and landed in her sloppy food,
and it only took a wipe and it was fine! I dont have an issue about
the disk not being there because I dont take pictures. I love the layout
and the qwerty keypad the optical trackpad isn't my cup of tea but to
be fair thats a bit picky because I'm sure that there is someone out
there who loves it!!! I love this phone so much therefore it a 5 across
the board, well done samsung and keep it up, I want to see more of this
fab work, it's your best phone yet!!!! Congrats!!!!

Samsung Ch@t S3350 Bought this as I wanted a cheap pay as you go phone
with a qwerty keypad. To start with was very pleased with it, but first
problem was that on silent profile, text messages would occasionally
fail to give vibration alerts, eventually got round this by creating
a custom profile. The WiFi would not work with my home network even
though the phone found it and connected! The WiFi worked at other locations
but had a tendency to disconnect from WiFi (without me realising) and
then I would be paying for data charges unexpectedly. Also often got
“Insufficient memory” message when surfing. Final straw
was the alarm function had a mind of its own -approximately one time
in three the alarm did not go off. So returned it as faulty.

the apps arnt so good but tbh its not a smart phone its a budget one
so what do you expect, wifi is amazing and holds my songs perfectly
and tbh my battery lasts atleast a day and a half with hard use, ie
music player. but overall i give this phone a 5star rating because the
last phone i had was the black berry curve 900 and it always had software

I went through all the mobiles at Tesco and the Samsung GT-S3350 keyboard
was the best of the lot - at least it was for me. It feels good in the
hand and is pretty responsive. Does everything I need and at a very
competative price. Why pay more for a Blackberry. Wifi works a treat
and everything (software and configeration) seems to be well laid out
on the phone. No complaints here, and it's not often I'm this happy
with a product. If only it had 3G too. But then it would cost more.

Bought this phone two weeks ago, and so far I'm really impressed! Unlike
other people who have commented below I've had no problems connecting
via wifi, or using YouTube - in fact I've spent a lot of time on YT.
Call quality is good, and despite the relatively small amount of built-in
memory the phone is pretty fast. Saying that, I would recommend adding
a memory card if you want to use it as a music player, or you spend
a lot of time using the internet. Overall, it's a really good phone
for texting, browsing the internet and using social networks, and easily
stands up against more expensive rivals.

the internet carries on doing things and uses my credit and i turn internet

Bought the phone for price and Wifi. Hits both targets. The user manual
is hopeless though, it doesn't even tell you what the icons mean on
the screen. Wifi works great to my home BB router. It connects to BTFON
and Openzone OK but I can't figure out how to persuade these connections
to carry data. The connection either times out or says "not enough memory"
or DNS failure. If I can't get this feature to work it is still a fairly
cheap phone.

Bought mainly because of internet access capability and in this respect
very disappointed. Other than via WI-Fi access is very poor despite
being in an area where signal coverage is deemed 'very good'. Spent
a whole day in the M21 area of Manchester yesterday, which is also,
as I discovered when checking on my return, designated a 'very good'
coverage area. Not once in 30+ attempts was I able to gain access to
the internet. In fairness I have no experience of using internet capability
phones so do not know if alternative phones would fair better in similar
circumstances. No criticism of its basic phone capabilities but, having
gone to the expense of paying more for the 'privilege' of having internet
access, I feel very very disappointed.
