Samsung Ultra Smart Touch-Screen Qwerty Phone: iPhone's Vader
Brian B (over 6 years ago)
Beating the Apple iPhone to the punch will require more than just 3G connectivity, slim dimensions and a higher megapixel count put 
together. But what if you've got a phone with all three features with touch-screen and - a pause is called for at this point - a slide-out QWERTY keyboard all packed... another pause... in a slim design?
Samsung have just announced their latest Ultra offering and the F700, which is a smartphone with slide-out keyboard, HSDPA, a 5.0 MP camera and touch-screen, and built-in Wi-Fi, looks like an iPhone killer if there has ever been such a thing.
The QWERTY keyboard looks absolutely fantastic with big keys, minus the peripherals a separate row for numerals, F-functions, arrow keys, etc. The 2.78-inch touch-sensitive screen uses a Flash-based user interface, which will be a welcome site for Web addicts. Virtual controls will have enhanced usability because of VibeTonz.
More info, especially with regards to pricing and date of availability, next month during the 3GSM World Congress.

this is phone is really cool it looks so good and i like the full keyboard
the keyboard is key. many people will love, especially if they have openoffice functanality, The camera is also great at 5mpx you are looking at great pictures, as long as the lense is good quality, and hopfully it comes with a stocked onboard memory at least 2G with a decent proccesor
damn guys this fone is IT u no the only problem though?? the samsung logo is vertically and not horizontally which is fukd up :) and they should make it shiny black and also white colors
how much memory has the phone got ???
is this available in canada? and is it availible with telus?
faroukh. no, nothing in canada yet. not on telus. verizon in the USA has it..so...we might see it here.
will this come to canada soon!?
(yn)
so it has a keyboard cos it doesn't have a '''multi''' touch screen like iphone.unlike iphone the screen act as screen and keyboard and it works well with itunes.iphone is just like a mac,you can download whatever application in a website.
is this better than htc touch pro???i mean like way better?????what do u guys suggest
i got this phone and i love it!. I got in kiev, uckraine and all i had to do is place my sim card in and it works. and its unlocked, and much cheapter than you would get in a usa or anywhere else.
all depends on what cell carriers it has i could love or hate
i have this phone and it is amazing! i love it, easy to use and i dont know how i lived without it. its small enough to put it in your pocket and big enough to hold it with your shoulder when your hands are busy. p.s if u have long nails, cut them bc it's a big difficult with the touch screen, i cut mine:)
Hiyy can i jus t ask,
i really like this phone but my friend said that the time limit when you are on the phone and it's battery isn't that good. Is it ??
i don't know what to think because all youu have said really good things about it
Help mee
( = x
I'm sure I have the same question as many people.
When will this phone come to Canada?
I WANT IT SO BAD!
Also I heard the touchscreen messes up easily?
I would like to know. =)
In a way it's true, the battery dies faster when you use text messaging and games, when you talk on the phone it doesn't die as fast. It is available in europe and it cames unlocked. But the internet option does not work if u buy it somewhere else outside north america. Except for that, it's an awesome phone and if you are text messaging junkie this is your best friend.
i want this phone so bad but is it avaluable for sprint??? and what you dont get the internet on it??
is it avaluable for sprint
Do you have to have verison to purchase the phone?
Do you have to buy internet or television when you buy it?
is this phone in Canada? does telus offer it?
where can i get one?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
drat . . . i want it sooooo bad . . . y canada have NOTHING!
I would hope that Canada will start getting the cool phones a lot sooner.
The CDMA phones are a lot nicer than the GSM phones unless your
willing to paying an arm and leg. I will never go with Bell Mobility again and
would like Rogers and Fido to step it up and sell nicer phones on a
plan not the shit that they have know.
Thanks for reading hope someone that works for Rogers or Fido reads
this...
Is this phone available in the uk and where
does it scratch easily?? is it cheaper in the US...and then works here with a sin card???
when is this phone coming to england !!!!
i have this phone and i want to sell it, i got it 2 months ago in europe, i live in canada and i placed my sim card it works perfectly, the only reason im selling it bc i got two new phones and i dont need a 3rd one.
any one interested?
Violet im interested :D xx when are these comin to scotland
i bought this phone, from a Canadian store, works great, due to the fact that it's been brought over, not all functions work!
How much is this phone guyss???

:) :) mmm looks sooo good:D its a winner
but omgsh....
the price.. im scared 2 find out
ill probly have 2 wait a year or 2 for the price 2 drop b4 i get 1 :(
I heard its really good, but i dont think it could beat my phone. i love my phone, its an LG enV2but i kinda wannna get the enV TOUCH cuz its really good!!!!!!
i don't know why people say iphones good.....
i don't know why it's so popular...
i mean it has respectable features like buying any application u want, or u can jailbreak it
but there are so many other better phones that has less flaws than iphone
and F700 is definitely one of them
wow this phone looks exactly like the qlyde !
I really want a touch and a QWERTY phone but it has to be on Pay As You Go! As soon as I find a really nice phone, it's either too expensive or it's not on Pay As You Go! I'm starting to get really annoyed but if anyone has any suggestions it would help me out alot!
Thank You.

Hi, I am not totally satisfied with this phone. I have been using Nokia for years and am sorry now I stepped over to Samsung.
The Qwerty has a tendency to turn itself on/off in my pocket. Last week it went so far that I had to use the PUK to get it going again. When I turned it on again the settings were changed. When using phone, calling a company with " dail #1 for sales" etc, you need to be careful that your ear doesnt diall for you when you put it back to it.
Also, I have a " clamp" phone holder in my car. I cannot put the qwerty in it cos then the buttons on the side will be pressed in.
My next phone will be a Blackberry.
Sorry Sam
omygosh! I really want this phone does anyone know how much it is??
thnx!
Only kids and morons who love doing thing complicated way get it.
Once they got it, play it for awhile, a yr or less, dumb it for a new one.
Unlike iphone or RIM BB, simplicity and specific targeted design. Once you got it, last for as long as the much better version out. More than 2-3 yrs?
This prove, people who bought copycat who lack of genuine creative from origin, will always loser.
Samsung, LG etc, are all losers.
i really need a qwerty touch screen smartphone now. this seems like a very good phone... just a few questions, is ti avialible wit rogers and what is the price??
I know from all of the comments bellow that a lot of people like this phone, but is this phone actually reliable? Like is it a phone that will last a long time (meaning year(s))? It's Samsung and I'm not all too familiar with phone brands so...is Samsung good? More specifically is this Samsung phone good and will last long? Thanks!
thats all fine and dandy, but how much does it cost? in not trying to be rude but people need this kind of information
how much does it cost???
The Samsung Ultra Smart currently cost between $360 - $470 depending on the retailer you'll be getting it from.
