Write your own Samsung Gleam-U700 Purple review

Pros: Fun items (can change color/font of numbers/lettters)...nice to have 2.0 megapix.

Cons: Quiet...cannot hear this phone (especially incoming call alerts.) To get to the memory card you have to take out the battery.

Summary: We sent this phone back...I really liked a bunch about it but, we simply could not hear it. Its vibration is also weak! Who wants a phone you can't hear to answer. I am happy to go back to my Samsung a950, although I will miss the better pictures and slimmer design.
