The Samsung E250 sports a trendy slide design and is packed with great features like most Samsung slide phones, but this stylish, lightweight mobile won't break your budget. This smooth, thin mobile handset looks great in misty silver, but if silver is not your style you can also find the E250 in black, green, or eye-catching pink.

With the same sleek, head-turning design of high-end slide phones, the Samsung E250 features a vibrant, 2 inch display screen with terrific resolution. Below the screen, the easy to use navigation pad and dedicated soft keys make it simple to use the E250 without opening the handset. The menu and user interface can be accessed as well, featuring a classy black background that illuminates the full colour menu icons. The Samsung E250 effortlessly slides open to reveal a simple, but stylish, keypad. Samsung leaves plenty of space between each button so the keys are very comfortable and easy to use, making the E250 a great phone for texting.

The features of the E250 are comparable to more costly handsets as well. The integrated camera is only a mere .3 megapixels, but it takes surprisingly clear photos and includes video capabilities as well. The 4X digital zoom allows more flexibility and there are a variety of settings and options available through the menu.

The E250's music player is also one of the best available in this affordable price range. Including an FM radio, the music player supports most formats and provides quality sound, especially through the optional Bluetooth headphones. The internal memory is not the greatest, at only 13 MB, but with the expandable MicroSD slot the music player is quite functional.

The connectivity of the Samsung E250 is just as pleasing. Exchange data between other mobiles with Bluetooth technology or swap files between your handset and PC with the convenient USB connection. Downloads and internet surfing are fast and reliable as well with EDGE and GPRS technology. The E250 also makes it a breeze to stay in touch, with support for all types of messaging and simple, one touch access to the messaging features from the phone's menu.

The usual mobile features, like an extremely functional phonebook with photo ID, games, and flight mode, are included on the E250 as well. The E250 also comes with several useful applications to keep you and your mobile safe and secure. UMenu allows you to customize the user interface of your phone, uTrack is a handy feature that alerts you if your phone is stolen, and SOS gives you a one touch messaging ability to an emergency contact.

For the price, the Samsung E250 can not be beat. With a super design in a selection of trendy hues, a quality camera, and a versatile MP3 player, the E250 is a phone that appeals to many. The most appealing feature is that this high-end mobile look is available at a very affordable price, making the Samsung E250 a great mobile phone for all types of users.
