Touchpad; HSDPA; build quality
Lack of xenon flash on the camera; volume during calls could be louder
At first, we thought this was going to be a phone with a gimmicky touchpad. After using it for some time, we've come to really like it. Not only does it look good but it works well and is a nice addition to Samsung's massive slider phone portfolio ...
The Samsung Soul U900 black is mixed bag. It looks fantastic and has most of the functionality you want from a modern handset but there are a few niggles that make the phone fall short against rivals such as the Nokia N95. Wi-Fi and GPS would really ha...
5megapixel camera with autofocus, face recognition technology, Magical Touch touchpad interface, Decent music player with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower audio technology, 3G HSDPA connectivity up to 7.2Mbps, Slimline, quality build

Bundled proprietary ear buds sound duller than Ben Stein. No Xenon flash. No GPS. No WiFi. Lowerres vid clips. Proprietary headphone jack positioned on the side = hard to pocket when phones are plugged in. Noticeable screen glare when outdoors.
Abstract: However, remove your Sim card and the Samsung Soul becomes an expensive paperweight. This is an odd thing to do in our books, especially when phones can do so much more than just make calls and the number of phones people own means the Sim may be swap...

The Samsung Soul offers an attractive, well-constructed design and a unique, intuitive navigation touchpad. Its respectable feature set includes a high-quality camera.
The Samsung Soul lacks important features like voice dialing and GPS. Its call quality wasnt completely reliable.
You wont mistake it for a smartphone, but the Samsung Soul is nonetheless an attractive and well-designed multimedia phone. Specifications: Band / mode: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband); Talk time: Up to 210 min; Combined with: With digital camera / d...
Abstract: Samsung's Soul is another of those mobile phones with a name I can't fathom. Soul? What's that about then? Samsung and LG seem to be joined at the hip when it comes to giving mobiles a name, and ‘Soul' has to be as meaningless as any I've seen. Still, th...
Beautiful design, Userfriendly, quality music player, Very good picture quality outdoors and in macro mode
Half of the navigation buttons require pressing, and the rest do not, Average sound quality
The big question is „Is it worth buying a new soul? It is irrelevant whether you’ve already sold yours to the devil or haven't, because we cannot give you a definite answer.The truth is that we expected much more from the company’s new line top model. ...
