Is there a replacement for the Samsung E900?

Pixie_Man — Sat, 02 Apr 2016 09:24:04 GMT

I love my E900 slider-phone: it exceeds my needs, but technology is starting to leave it behind. I do not want a big phone. Is there a replacement for the Samsung E900? Cheers

You're talking about a phone that's ten years old. In technology terms, that's just about prehistoric. Your best bet would be to Google it, but you won't find any recent phones like that. There are possibly some small screen phones still around. You just have to look for them.

You could look at some smaller iPhones or there are some Samsungs that have smaller screens such as the A3

Your best option is to visit the various independent mobile phone stores in town or Asda and Tesco. There are alternatives to suit your usage but it's best to go looking at them.

The S3550 is about as new as you will get in the form you want http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/other-phones/others/GT-S3550ISAXEU
Try Amazon, or ebay from reputable sellers only.

'Fulfilled by Amazon' is the sentence to look for. If the sellers rating is good and it get's the backing of Amazon then those are the ones to look for (from my own experience of course)

That would probably suit the OP but actually locating one may prove difficult.

@MI5 If you click on the Buy Online link you get a popup window saying this:

We are sorry, but this product is currently not available from any of our retail partners.
To check stock availability please email us at shop.uk@samsung.com or call Monday - Saturday 9am-6pm 0330 726 7467

That phone is also six years old. Showing as unavailable on Amazon, and used or locked to Vodafone on eBay.

Edit: Didn't see the third party seller one on Amazon you posted. Looks like the only new one around. The link I found brought up this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-S3550-Shark-Mobile-Phone/dp/B003LBT9UW

Yeah, it's old but it was the newest decent slider I could think of. Not many made anymore these days......

I haven't actually seen any slider phones for at least 4 years now

That's because there isn't a market for them any more, save a handful of people. Not worth making a new model of a phone that only a very few might buy. The majority of consumers now want a minimum of a 4 inch screen, and a phone that can do more than just be a phone.

Cheaper than the iPhone 7 she wants

Buy her a paper cup & string. That's even cheaper but she still has to wait 6 months at minimum for the iPhone 7
