Verdict

Samsung E1207 is a very basic bar phone. It comes with no primary or secondary camera, has no video recorder or player, and really has no outstanding feature of note. Worse still, it has no web browser and does not support email. The only connectivity option available is GPRS. It looks like Samsung wanted to do away with all the extra bells and whistles that people love in phones such as a video player/recorder, still cameras and email support. The only strong selling point for this phone is its very compact frame and low weight, the phone weighing just 65 g. It is quite true that there are people who love light phones, but with absolutely no extra features available, the phone is extremely unlikely to become a hit. It is only ideal for people who have no use for these extra features and are only interested in a phone’s basic call and messaging features. Samsung E1207 offers fair value for money at its retail price of Rs. 1290 (approx., may vary).
