Not bad I guess it's an alright phone to have on contract if you're contacting people a lot and such :P

[GommeInc]

It's just a Samsung with a label attached to it to be totally honest :P

The phone specs look good though, judging by the above post, but the price tag is way too high for those specs :/

How much is on contact, Chode? :)

[J0SH]

Usually with contracts you get the phone free then you just pay X amount per month depending on what package you chose (can get more texts and free calls etc)

And yeah Samsung made it I believe.

yeh bit pricey but hey its emporio armani :P

Nothing special.

Your paying roughly £300 for a phone without wi-fi and 3.2 megapixel camera?

not worth it imo. Just because its amarni doesnt really make it good.
The design is good though

[J0SH]

Who needs Wi Fi? And the camera isn't that bad.

Me?

-longer-

Most people know prefer wi-fi as it saves money on the network charges for using internet.

For me the camera and spec is not good enough to spend £300 on.
But thats just my opinion :)

[Bun]

i WANT. altho if it's samsung it'll be ****.

[J0SH]

That's why you don't spend £295 on it you get it on contract :P

[BeanEgg]

I wouldn't spend £295, or that phone; the specs are terrible for the cost.
I've got a £140 phone which takes over the Samsung phone.

As said, it's only expensive because of the brand.

[Recursion]

Its Samsung, therefor the phone is crap.

I like Samsung's products, but their phones are utter ****.

[e5]

looks too simple & boring. They should have a more high-tech one tbh.

[GommeInc]

yeh bit pricey but hey its emporio armani Samsung:P
:8 If it wasn't for the label, it is just a Samsung phone :P Nothing amazingly special about it, just the stuck on name with Samsung written on the bottom :P

If you really like it though, there's no stopping you. Have you found out how much it is per month? :)

[Oleh]

Well, i dunno why the outside brands are coming into the phone market, Porsche have a phone, i dont see why emporio armani wants one, they both look terrible

[J0SH]

I probably won't get it I've got my eyes on an iPhone but round here you can get packages such as 800 texts and it comes with say 1200 free minutes and it's about £30 per month so I'm hoping I can get an 02 contract and get an iPhone ;)

Regardless of the features, it looks a really good phone, it's good if you just use phones for phoning and texting, but if you want a phone with tonnes of features then I guess it's not your cup of tea. But I really want an iPhone for apps and stuff so yeah.

Based on what? The samsung sliders are good solid phones, if a little unspectacular and their touch screen smartphones are pretty good too. The pixon has got really good reviews for its camera and the instinct was really popular in america.
