I really liked the Samsung Lucido S7220. Considering its low cost, it has a whole bunch of good features. Shame the GPS is hidden away, but overall if you are looking for a SIM-free choice this could be a good shortlist handset. Read full review

How can you make such a silly comment about a phone that is £135 with a 5MP camera, GPS, etc. ? ? ? Some people are never satisfied.

wifi is a must to have function in phones today. 5mp camera and a ridicolous gps, no.

@Marcus - why do you say that?

Wifi in phones is useful if you're at home, using your phone like a mini-laptop and you want to save on your mobile data plan. The Lucido has a 320 x 240 pixel non-touchscreen, so I really can't see people using it casually of an evening to read the BBC News headlines very often. And if they do, there's 7.2Mbps HSDPA...

I agree with Mark Walton - I would far rather trade Wifi for the camera / GPS functions. For those who wouldn't, vote with your feet and buy a model that does have Wifi. Simples.

I love the look of this phone: very slim and sleek. Never owned a Samsung mobile though. I'm not too fussed about the wifi. I have an LG Renoir and only use the wifi outdoors, but rarely is it available free of charge. This isn't Tokyo :-)

I guess the only thing I use WiFi for on a phone is VOIP at home. The notion of web browsing through a window smaller than a credit card seems a bit daft to me, I struggle of a large screen PDA.

On the GPS - can this phone run CoPilot? What OS is the phone running? That could be another use for wifi - downloading speed camera updates for CoPilot!

come on.. there are a lot of places in the world (where do you live??) where you can access wifi internet without paying an eye or even for free. You dont really need to go in japan for that. Most of the time I use my e71 (not such big display) to access internet with limited cost at home and no cost at a mediacafe in milano and office. To me wifi is a must for a mobile and should be supported from mobile producers to push wifi networks. How? do not buy mobiles w/o wifi..

I still don't see how WiFi is a must!?! Why would anyone prefer to use their mobile at home to browse the internet rather that use their PC/Netbook/Mac. Surely if you've got WiFi in the house then you must have a PC of some description?

The only place that WiFi is of use is in places like airports, assuming you can get it for free - which isn't always the case. (Was a pain in the a__e at Heathrow terminal 5)

I don't really care for it anyway when having a tariff with millions of minutes and texts and data that I will never use!! I'd rather just use my 3.5G connection, it's just as quick if not quicker to connect than when there is WiFi available. And if you are in a place where WiFi is present then 99% of the time there will be a 3/3.5G signal.

Mark, I see your point. Now try to enlarge your view. From a technical point of view (and this is what I'm looking for in TR site), wifi is a low cost solution to internet from whatever device. wifi is more and more available in europe, not only airports but whole towns, cafè, universities, public offices and even along seasides (in italy as far as I know) you can find it. Of course you can access internet using a costly tariff, but this is not the point. Internet must be available at 0 cost like radio station are. Do you pay for listening to a radio station?? I dont, and I do believe that this should be the same for internet regardless time an byte downloaded. Wifi is the only way and, again, today a mobile phone that is pretending to access internet must be ready for that.. Hope you can understand my point now.

Marcus

I agree with you - the internet should be freely accessible to all. I like your radio station analogy. But why does it have to be freely accessible on this phone?
