Hey Guys,

Just a warning about the new Samsung U900.

i Needed a new phone a few days ago, After having my heart set on the new Samsung U900 Soul i went to read some reviews but saw some people was complaining about how hard it is to hear people on the other end of the phone even with the sound being on FULL  along with the Bang and Olufsen speakers being not so loud as Samsung say they are and that the Battery cover on the back was a pain to get off but i said to myself surely it cant be that bad!. 

I went to the store being very careful and talked to the guy about me reading about the problem. He was kind enough to use hes own phone and call me to show me that the Callers voice sound was good which it was,  Also play a sample tune on the phone to show the Bang and Olufsen speakers was up to say they was which they was, and also showed me that back cover wasn't so hard to get off. So after being happy with everything i bought the phone flat out as mine for £300. Being happy i got it home and started playing with it, Put all my songs on the phone then charged it up for a whole night (10 hours) Next morning got up. Went off to work and within the time it took me to get to work (30 minutes) i saw i've lost a bar of battery 'Okay i said to myself no problem' So started working and as my work means i have to use my phone for calls after making about 3 10 minute calls i saw i've lost another bar of battery 'That cant be right i say' So im now running low on battery. i make 1 last call and thats it! it dies. 'After a full nights charge about 10 hours all i get is 2 Hours battery? 

So, he replaces the phone as we both think it could of been just a bad batch. So today the same things happen again. 10 hours charge for just 2 hours battery just listening to 30 minutes of music and making a few calls (Well to be spot on 3 15 minute calls today) So tomorrow im back to the shop to replace my Samsung U900 for a Sony Ericsson K850I as my Girlfriend has it and she just charges hers for a night and gets a week's battery out of it even listening to music! it also seems im not the only one. Just had a look and a few people are having the same problems, Getting only 5 hours of battery while on Stand by ! 

Now seeing that the Phones main points for being so high in the market
are the Music player, the 5.0 Mega camera and not forgetting the Touch
Pad  why didn't samsung think its going to need a abit more Battery
power to help keep the phone alive while using all this? i've not even
started with the Camera nor paying around with the Fancy Touch pad like
chaning its Colour and so on so i hate to think how long the battery
would last then!

i've had aload of phones and i mean aload! of every make,  Nokia, LG, 3, Sony, and so on but never ever had a Battery this bad on a phone!

it just goes to show you cant have looks awell as power, Its a lovely looking phone and feels very good but for £300 i want abit more battery power. So if your thinking of getting a new phone and like the Samsung be very carefull of the battery life! Saying that  Samsung might even make a more powerfull battery in a few months or could even me Fault with the phones or a few boxs of them.
