L770 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: The Samsung L770 is a 3G slide phone that
comes with the standard range of features including a 2 megapixel
camera, 3G video calling, a music player, FM radio, Bluetooth wireless
connectivity and a memory card slot.
Review:
November 2008.
The Samsung L770 is an upgraded version of the
Samsung L760 and is a 3G slide phone
in traditional Samsung style. Whereas the L760 came with a colourful
makeover by British designer Ted Baker, the L770 has a standard
metallic finish with a mirror screen. When we say that it's been
upgraded, it's hard to see any real improvements, except that the
camera now has a flash. The L770 weighs less, and is extremely light
at just 84g, but the battery life seems to have got worse as a result.
If you want a smart 3G slider that's cheap and
compact, then this ticks most boxes, but the poor battery life really
lets it down. It's hard to see why Samsung felt the need to release
yet another entry level slide phone into an already crowded product
range. We'd stick with the Ted Baker
phone instead.
Features of the Samsung L770 include:
- 3G video calls
- 2 megapixel camera with flash
- Video camera - 2nd video camera for video calling
- Display: TFT, 262,144 colours, 176 x 220 pixels
(2.1 inches)
- Music player (MP3, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+, and WMA
audio formats)
- FM radio with RDS service
- 72-voice polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, email
- Java games
- Internet: WAP 2.0
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB 2.0
- Memory: 30 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot
- Network: 3G with HSDPA 3.6 Mbps
- Size: 103 x 48 x 14 mm
- Weight: 84g
- Talktime: 3 hours
- Battery standby: 230 hours

I have purchased this model phone and from the experience I've had with
this mobile so far has been excellent. The phone is user friendly and
does not display any signs of failure with software and network problems.
I highly recommend this phone to any user.

this phone is good looking on the exteria and every thing else but the
battery life.But i have found a solution to this problem. DONT CHARGE
YOUR PHONE FOR TOO LONG.Charge it for about 5-7 hours and you will see
the difference and when listening to music use earphones it saves your
battery

ive had this phone since october 08 and its had to be repaired a few
times and now i have to charge it every night but i am a heavy user
on phones (mainly texting). for a text its great and you can text for
hours on it without getting a sore hand but if you need to get onto
the internet and write some long essay then its a pain in the butt.
Its great for people who need the basics as you can lpad music onto
it and download games, on 3 you can get msn too. Over all i gave it
4 because its hardly ever let me down, plus ive dropped it so many times
and it just bounces on the floor :] its all good.

Had this phone since september...at first i really like it but to be
honest...its useless! It has to be charged every night even if its hardly
been used! The internet service is rubbish as well...really slow. Quite
often im too fast for it and it will 'crash' Camera not too good either
At least its alright looking!and it bounces when you drop it! always
a plus

Had phone since Oct, looks good but in a word it's irritating. It has
an illogical menu, battery life is poor even with light usage ( no games
or music), currently in for repair as I can no longer hear the caller
even with volume at max.

This phone is exclusive to 3 network.Its a superbly designed super-thin
slider with good ergonomics,slide mechanism and keys.Thankfully Samsung
has avoided their irritable touch sensitive keys in this phone.The screen
is large and crisp.Ring tone and speakers are loud enough(as compared
to few other Samsung sliders).Camera is mediocre.However,I do not use
my phone for photos or music and hence cannot commend much on it. The
only downside for this phone is its very poor battery life, the comeuppance
for making a slider so thin .However, as I charge mine every night,
it has never drained out. Its still a fabulous and beautiful phone:-)

I just started using it, and so far: There's NO flash, what do you look
at ?! There's only dark menu skin, no light one. Keypad Lock can NOT
be turned off. Menu in general is not very "logical" , like they had
to make it in rush, "for yesterday". Gummy covers for plug/mem.card
slots look like they'll fall off after some usage. Phone looks good,
like tuxedo, simple and elegant. Keypad is good, only exterior left
and right keys dont look like they'll last. Middle (5-way key) is very
good, looks like it will last.
