Samsung A501

Small and lightweight, memory expansion slot, rotating camera

Low specifications in key areas, poor camera quality, external antenna, no SMTP e-mail support

The Samsung A501 is a solid, but far from outstanding HSDPA-capable phone. While its compact size may be an advantage, outdated specifications in key areas mean that the A501 isn't able to fully immerse you in the Next G experience as it should.

Its quite compact and it has a flip lid which helps protect the screen.

Pretty good phone. I didn't have any problems with it when I had it for my 24month contract plan.

It's cute! Flip lid! Cool soft pink colour! Speaker option!

Nothing really..although I don't use half the added options and I am sure most people don't..Bit of a waste adding them!

This phone has all the features that a phone needs. The camera is Ok, however, it is phone camera so low resolution as expected. Great frame features, a bit of fun. The phone is easy to use and has speaker hands free feature which is the reason I went...

Letters are small for texting. Limited ringtones, you will soon get over that! Sizeable phone.

Neat little phone, with a relatively clear screen, comes in Pink and Blue and can be customised to suit your mood

The supplied games are demos and you cannot erase them, if you come from a Nokia phone the Samsung menus are very hard to get used to and the continual placement of Telstra logo drives me bonkers.

Seems reliable. Camera is passible.

Chunky by comparison to some models, MP3 player doesn't work properly (only plays 17 seconds of any song, but then full version will play as a ringtone!). The standard ringtones are lousy. The aerial is annoying when it's in your pocket. Stupid little...

Buttons are great and dont click as you text. Has some cool photo frame options. I like the nice Pink colour.

Small screen on front is USELESS!!! Stays on for 3 seconds only and then goes totally black, so you cant view the time! You can not adjust the amount of time the front screen stays on, Samsung tell me it is to same battery life, but I dont understand...

Lots of functions. Comes in two colours.

Doesn't come with any good ringtones
