The Samsung offers top-notch performance in every possible aspect we were able to test. The QWERTY keyboard is really comfortable to work with, so is the touchscreen display. Softwarewise the Samsung Touch UI is a nice platform that we praised in the Samsung F490 review. You won't hear us say anything different here - it works great, except for the clumsy web browser and the incompatibility with widescreen user-encoded WMV and H.263 videos.
If you can live with that along with the bulky size, Samsung F700 is truly able to deliver, especially for those of who would like a full QWERTY keyboard and easy going interface without the Symbian or Windows Mobile fuss. For an approximate street price of USD550 or EUR360, Samsung F700 seems a bit overpriced but if you have set your eyes on it you won't have any viable alternatives due to its unusual form factor and platform. A subsidized price tag by Vodafone would sound better. But still the Samsung F700 remains a niche product, and would hardly win a significant market share outside its limited target group.
