Battery/Conclusion
The battery life of the phone is not as good as I expected it to be. It died on me with only 1.5 hours of talktime. Listening to music brings it down further. I don’t know if it’s this piece, but if the battery life of the E840 is this bad then all the flashy stuff that the phone is all about comes to naught.
The phone is a great looker; there are no two ways about it. What I like about it is that it makes an effort to be different. The touch-sensitive buttons, although currently a pain, can be turned around to Samsung’s advantage. If you are looking for a cool phone for your girlfriend, then please go ahead, just don’t mind her not messaging you that often.
