Samsung V200

Mathew Brummitt

My girlfriend has this phone on 'Pay as you go' and although it was expensive, it was a fairly early camera phone so spending that much on it was worth it at the time, and she still has the phone and it works fine.

Good high definition screen, with a front greyscale screen built in.

Polyphonic ringtones

Load ringer

Easy to navigate the phone.

Rotating camera is not a oood idea, it becomes stiff to try and rotate round, and if you rotate it to face you, and take a photo, your photo is upside down which isn't good.

Photo quality, when put onto a computer is very bad, and the image is so small.

If you can buy it from a mate quite cheaply, then buy it, but don't spend a lot on it, as better phones are now available.

V200 is a flip camera phone with rotating camera and a colour screen.

The screen quality is excellent.

With opening and closing the phone so much (Ive had the phone nearly 2 years)im very surprised at how sturdy is still is.

The phone hasn't switched itself off or frozen at all.

The ring tones are fairly loud and easy to hear - a bonus is having the polyphonic ring tones.

Looks nice (its shiny silver) any scratches hardly show.

The front B&W screen is sometimes hard to see when outside in bright weather.

When in the dark you cannot see the clock on the front screen without having the light on, but to get the light on you need to open the phone. (well if this is not true then I dont know how to do it so someone please tell me).

Camera quality is not particularly great, but I suppose as it was one of the first camera phones then this is acceptable.

When trying to take a photo of yourself when holding the phone im always upside down, I can't work out how to change it and if you can at all.

Overall i'd highly rate this phone as it has a camera facility, it looks good, and is durable. However the I only like the slim battery which doesnt really have a long life.
