In a nutshell: The E250 is an entry-level slide phone and
is one of the best phones in the entry-level price range. For less
than 50 quid you get a cool-looking slide phone with a camera, music
player, FM radio, Bluetooth and a memory card slot for storing loads
of music. You can't go wrong with this one!
Review:
June 2007.
The E250 is Samsung's first slide phone in the
entry-level market, and it's an impressive one. This is a phone
that retails for less than £50 on Pay as you Go, but it shares
the cool looks and design of Samsung's top-end slide phones that
are currently all the rage. It's a very compact, slimline and lightweight
phone, weighing just 81g. The keypad and slide are very similar
to the top-of-the-range Samsung D900,
and are a proven design - very easy to use. When closed, the navigation
keys enable you to access most of the phone's functions and you
just slide the phone open to make a call or send a text.
For an entry-level phone it's very well specified
too. The VGA camera (0.3 megapixels) and video recorder are fairly
basic, but the phone is also equipped with a good quality MP3 player
and FM radio too. In this price range, only the Sony
Ericsson W200i can offer the same. The MP3 player can also handle
AAC and AAC+ formats too. You can also set MP3 tracks as your ringtone.
The built-in memory of 13 Mbytes is enough to store 3 or 4 songs
only, but you can expand the memory with a MicroSD
memory card if you want to make more use of the music player.
Other handy features include a built-in speakerphone
and a voice memo recorder. All kinds of messaging are supported,
including MMS (multimedia messaging) and email.
You can download Java games as well as the embedded games that come
pre-installed. A full range of personal organiser functions are
included. Flight mode lets you listen to music, play games, etc
whilst the network connection is switched off.
Connectivity is outstanding, with support for both
Bluetooth and USB. The Bluetooth connection lets you exchange games
and ringtones wirelessly with other compatible phones, and can also
be used to connect to a stereo Bluetooth headset. The USB connection
is most useful for transferring music, pictures and videos to and
from a computer. A fast internet connection is available too, via
GPRS and EDGE.
All things considered, this is an extremely good
value phone. It offers the benefits of a music player and FM radio
with a memory card, plus everything you'd expect from an entry-level
phone, and in a cool slide design. Battery life is the one area
that could be better. At the time of writing (June 2007) this is
our favourite phone in the sub-£50 market.
Features of the Samsung E250 include:
Digital camera (0.3 megabytes) with 4x digital
zoom
Video camera
Display: TFT LCD, 65,536 colours, 128 x 160
pixels

I bought this phone from Tesco as I am on Tesco mobile network and
just swapped sim card.Got it for £44. I got a 1gig micro sd card
and card reader of the net for £14 and off I went. But can I get
mp3 tunes on to listen to. No.Maybe its my lack of tech know how
but the only things I can get are of friends via blue tooth.Anyway
I like the phone.Its stylish and my battery lasts nearly a week
on standby mainly with a bit of playing with the features in the
evening. Agreed the message alert tones are poor.The radio is fine
but why have to have earphone plugged in before you can listen thro
loudspeaker.Wierd.For the price its a great phone and when I learn
how to load it as an mp3 player I will be happy.This is the phone
I shall keep till it drops to bits becuase I love it. Rating:

Bought the phone and returned it the same day, never had a chance
to use it because of the design of the back plate you just can't
open it easily I found that for the price of the phone the design
would be better. It seems a shame because it looks and sounds as
if this phone would be a good buy, but unfortunately worrying about
breaking the phone trying to open it put me off. Rating:

For what it's worth, its a great phone with so many features, it's
hard to go by this phone if you are looking for a bargain phone.
I have had this phone for around a month now, and I am very pleased
with it. The only faults (very minor I might add) is that you can
not change the alert when you recieve a txt to one of your own sounds/songs,
you have to use one of the default tones which is pretty annoying.
Also, the battery life isnt that great, but if you dont mind charging
it every day, you can do better than this phone for something at
this price range. Rating:

One thing this phone is not designed for is easy access to the sim

I threw it on the floor out of frustration and finally it cracked
open. A bit uncivilised to have to resort to violence! Initially
I thought it was just my handset, but another review here complained
about the same problem and that makes me think maybe it is a design

I had Nokias and a motorola before but really liked the D500 my
wife has which has sadly now become an Ebay only option. Liked the
D900 but didnt want to spend silly money on a phone. Reviewers on
here are right the E250 does everything you need with a great spec,
small profile so easy to carry, its a slide style, good mp3 player
and a radio. Just needs a memory card and its perfect, shame Samsung
didnt include a 512mb card with it. I have the black version which
for me looks better than the silver in my opinion. I am a light
user and the battery lasts for around 5 days. Took it to the States
on holiday and the call clarity was so good it was like being at
home !! A++ Get yourself one whilst they are @ £50 if you shop around. Rating:

Really great spec for price. I bought a 1 gig memory card and seemed
to have limitless storage. I hated the really short battery life.
The battery was on its knees within 48 hours even with hardly any
useage and that is one of the things I hate most about phones -
short battery life. Use it to play games, listen to the radio or
mp3 player and it'll be flat in a lot less time. However, my phone
is now no more, less than 6 months old and the screen is broken.
I don't know how it happened, it was not dropped or banged. Goodbye
E250 and good riddance. Rating:

I should be getting te E250 sometime next week, and from my experience
of using my friends one, and all the reviews I've read, it seems
to be pretty good. I noticed a lot of people moaning about the memory,
and that doesn't make any sense to me. In all the specs. it's been
made clear that there is a small amount of memory, so the other
day I got a 512MB card for £4. Problem solved. It only has a VGA
camera, but I don't buy a phone to take amazing pictures. I use
my SLR for that. So from my experience using the phone, and the
reviews I read while shopping for it, I'm sure it will be better
than many people make out. PS - Look! I can spell! Rating:

I have had the phone 3 days and in 3 hrs it will be returned, the
only criteria this phone manages to live upto is the ability to
make calls and take photos, which you might say is what its supposed
to do but..... its also an mp3 player but I have downloaded several
tracks from my music library, all sent easily, but firstly not stored
in my music files, for some reason stored in other documents section
then when you attempt to play them it says unsupported file format,
then theres the photos (Jpeg) it takes Jpeg format Pics but you
try sending your own from pc, sure they go ok it accepts them it
even stores them in picture file but it says yet again unsupported
file format even when the pics you have loaded come up as jpeg it
wont open them and when I tried to charge it the second day of ownership
it wouldnt, it just flashed and didnt actually charge, took the
battery out then put it back in tried to charge again it wouldnt,
picked it up and it started to charge put it down it stopped, unplugged
then plugged it back in, no difference, banged it and it started
to charge , whats that about? But the most annoying thing is if
you have a text msg come thru and your not right by the phone and
hear its single , solitary alert bleep ( only one option by the
way) it doesnt display the message alert on the phone when slider
is closed nor the time or date or infact any info on the screen,
now I know what your thinkin... you aint set it up to display, I
have gone thru the manual to see if thats why ,cant find a single
mention of slider display for this problem and surely if it has
option to display or not when closed wouldnt the default be set
to display with the option to not display actually as an option
oh and if you think of tryin the samsung site for help or support
they dont list the 250V or if they do I cant find it... As a convert
from erricson with the nasty toggle button that malfunctions every
3-4 weeks and even having the erricson 850i without toggle that
still has to be returned 3 times in as many months I will have to
go back to the old faithful nokia I guess, its amazed me the 5 star
rating that this phone has got, but perhaps I have been unlucky
with this one phone, perhaps all its faults are a one off, I doubt
it. I have awarded 2 stars purely cos it actually does allow you
to make calls Rating:

The phone is wonderful. Was recommended to me by a friend. But I
think I would love a memory card with more capacity than the one
supplied with the phone. I just like the phone: easy to use and
full of colour. It is a SMART phone Peter Rating:

i think this is the best phone for its price..full of features..sytlish,
light,fast,with expandable memory,it is even better than samsung
e370 and SE k510 each of them has a 1.3 mp camera.but neither of
them has an expandable memory nor FM radio.the only competitor is
SE w200 but it lacks bluetooth so Samsung e250 is on the top. i
really love it. Rating:

£59 from Phones-4-u, and looks great too !. Mines in sexy black,

I bought this phone 3 days ago! So far, everything's fine! The only
problem is the memory card: I think u should have got one free!
Although they are not dear! (A 512MB is only £20.00 in Argos in
the UK) Another thing, i was on another website about this phone.
Lots of people left comments to say that the battery life is very
poor! I think the battery life is reasonable enough for such a small
phone with all the features! My old Panasonic GD 87 had only a camera
on it and I hardly ever used it and it only lasted for about a day!
This phone has all the features and with using it a reasonable amount
of time, the battery can last up to a day! I think that is very
good! Well done, Samsung! Rating:

Well i bought the E250 last friday. I currently have a contract
but i had to get a new phone as i have literally destroyed my k800i
from it being in my pocket. Anyways what a fantastic phone for the
money has all the features my k800i did (cept camera is poorer)
all for 59 quid. My battery lasts ages charged friday and it died
yesterday night and thats with calling txting and using the radio
and mp3 quite abit. Such a great phone and it looks the best in
silver. Go out and buy now!!!!!!!! Rating:

I have had this handset for approx 2 months now, and am going to
trade it in on Wednesday as I keep on getting deafened every time
i make or receive a call, and that is with it on the lowest volume
settings. The handset itself is fairly decent, has everything I
could need, MP3 player, camera, albeit a very poor one( i have never
had a decent picture from it) Radio and bluetooth. In order to use
the MP3 player I had to go out and purchase a 1gig Micro SD card,
which was purchased from Play.com for £8.99. Samsung could have
put a data cable in with the handset to make it a little easier
to get pictures and MP3's onto the handset, but at the price I paid
(£54), I couldn't really complain. I have to say its not the greatest
handset i've ever had, nor the poorest handset. Rating:

Well, this phone is outstanding! ( i am a servire samsung fanatic)
i purchased it yesturday, am still haven't managed to use all of
the many, many features avaliable. unfortunatley the phone wasn't
supplied with a memory card however i did get a 1gig one for £20
very good value. It is very similar to my last phone the samsung
D900, i know what your thinking why would i get the E250 when i
have got the D900 simply because the D900 is a piece of ****. It
broke on me 11 times! I feel that this phone is a very secure handset
and has great facilities for anyone of any age. i am young and listen
to music on a daily basic, this phone is perfect for that with its
built in MP3 player plus it has an FM radio. I did notice on the
box that it didn't mention the Bluetooth feature, well i can successfully
say it very well has got it and it is the latest one 2.0. The camera
is exeptional to say it is VGA. I got loads of clear pictures when
i was out clubbing last night. The standard ringtones are well very
standard i suppose, but they are good enough. However for all young
people like me the bluetooth option is fantastic. The sound clarity
is superb!It has a very clear speaker phone too. It is just as stylish
as the D900 in fact my mates last night thought that i had, got
the silver D900. He was very shocked and well he's off today to
buy one! this phone is so light it is unbelievable! i simply could
go on for day's and days about this phone but really must dash!
by the way i have had 14 new phones this year including the Sony
Eric k800i and the Sony Eric w850i and the W810i , the samsung D900
but by far the best one it the SAMSUNG E250. Mine cost £69.95 from
Argos>>> thanks for readin my review. GJS Rating:
