Samsung E1170 review
Light on features but big on value, the Samsung E1170 isn't likely to divert sales away from the big hitters. It does, however, offer an attractive package for novice mobile users who aren't concerned with accessing the Internet or exchanging photos.

alaTest has collected and analysed 138 reviews from magazines and websites. Reviewers really like the reception and value for money. The design and usability also get good feedback, whereas the responsiveness and portability get mixed comments. The screen and connectivityget less positiveratings.
