Samsung Ultra Edition 8.4
CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Slim, sleek design; 3G; microSD card expansion slot; supports Bluetooth stereo; 2-megapixel camera; solid build quality; vibrant display. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Average battery life; no FM radio; no second battery (like the Ultra Edition 6.9); one port for charging, earphone and USB; exposed lens design.
The bottom line: Samsung's latest 3G handset will appeal to those who want an ultra-slim phone but aren't willing to compromise on functionality.

Excellent slim phone
Mar 26, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Slim, Durable, Essential features
Cons: Weak battery life
Opinion:
I've owned this phone for almost a year now and have no real complaints except for the fact that the battery life leaves much to be desired. I use it minimally, yet I have to charge it every 2 days on average.
With that being said, it's a great phone, everything that I could ask for. It's a good size, and I love the fact that it's so slim. Fits into a guy's pants pocket really easily. Buttons are of a great size and spaced apart well. These are important features for me as I don't really care about Wifi, HSDPA, etc etc in my phone. As long as it can make calls, and it's easy to message, that's all that matters to me. The fact that this slim phone has Bluetooth (a must have feature nowadays in any phone) also works to its advantage as most users have a Bluetooth headset nowadays.

Pretty phone
Jan 30, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: good design and complete
Cons: batt life
Opinion:
I tried 8.4 for 1 week. Overalls 8.4 is a complete phone. 3G, camera, music player, speaker, boetooth,sms, mms, voice call . . It's Okay no problem. Good quality and complete 3G phone under USD. 200. I think 8.4 is a pretty phone for young woman
The slim and unpractical
Oct 2, 2007Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: wonder that it can pack so many features in its slim frame
Cons: pathethic software and durability
Opinion:
It is overall ok fro a phone so slim but I beg to differ on how durable it is. Just after a fall, there was crack on the phone running from the dege of the lcd to the socket and the phone simply died. I had to send it for repair for 5 days before it was reapired. The phone features, especially the camera was rather clear but the sound, as heard from the earphones is not very clear. It could have been more durable and it features, more perfected.
