Typical price: £250
What is it: Slider with a centrally mounted scroll wheel
What we think: The U700 looks good and has some cool features but it's let down slightly by its awkward controls

We like:
Super-fast HSDPA (3.5G) support; good camera; excellent screen
We don't like:
Plasticky finish; awkward controls; poor music player
Also known as:
SGH-U700
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Part of the Ultra Edition II, this handset has some really impressive features, like the super-fast HSDPA (3.5G) downloads and the big, bright screen. It's not as easy to use as we would have liked, though
