Caught off-camera Samsung says the Diva's 3. You do get some camera options, such as taking black-and-white or sepia photos, and editing options, like cropping, but there are no soft-focus, retouching or portrait modes. The camera was slow to load and, without an LED light, you may struggle in low light. But the photo quality is fine for capturing a profile pic for your contact list, for example. It's also possible to upload your snaps to Facebook, as well as Flickr, Bebo, Picasa and quite a few other services, but, again, the lack of surfing speed is a problem.
There's no GPS functionality either, so geotagging your photos with details of where you took them -- or even checking your location on a map -- is out of the question. Conclusion Unless you've fallen in love with its unique appearance, we don't think it's worth getting the Samsung Diva, as you'll need to go without the features found on other phones that are just as inexpensive. Happily, though, you don't have to give up a girly design to get those features, even if you don't want to shell out the dosh for a top-of-the-line, pink HTC Hero.
The Samsung Blade from Vodafone also known as the Preston and S comes in pink, has a diamond-shaped button like the Diva's, costs the same on a monthly contract, and has HSPA support and a camera light. We'd recommend you get that instead. The Samsung Diva still gives you plenty of features, though, including touchscreen, a gloriously crisp display with 16 million colours, 3 megapixel camera, and all the social networking features you need, including access to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and the like.
With a crisp sharp front with diamond keypad on the bottom, a diamond-patterned underside that houses the 3. Indeed, Samsung are focusing firmly on the exclusive side of the Diva. They neither expect it to sell in large numbers, nor do they want it to, as they want the Diva to remain as an exclusive phone, so you can be sure that when you start using it, no-one else around you will have anything quite like it.

The lack of a headphone jack is also a major inconvenience if you like to use your phone as an mp3 player. You do at least get a microSD slot under the battery cover along with hardware volume controls on the left edge as well as a dedicated camera button and screen-lock button on the right.
On a semi-positive note, the screen produces bright vibrant colours and has good viewing angles. For instance, swiping up and down lists is slow and you often end up selecting options accidentally; typing on the onscreen keyboard which emulates a keypad rather than full keyboard is slow and cumbersome; and even just tapping an icon can result in sporadic inaccurate responses. On top of this, general operation is slow and features are limited.
What you do get are three homescreens onto which you can drop a variety of widgets from a pop-out sidebar. These include the usual picture viewer, clock face, and music player but also add Bebo, Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter apps into the mix. Meanwhile the main menu is again split up into three sideways sliding panels with icons arranged in a grid and sub-menus ordered in simple lists.
On the back of the phone is a 3. However, it has no autofocus or flash resulting in low detail, noisy, and blurry images in poor lighting. Not that the Diva exactly excels when it comes to such activities. The web browser supports full page layouts but is rather slow and messes up the formatting quite often and though email is available it lacks push notifications and the interface is basic. Finishing on something of a high, the Diva seemed like a perfectly capable calling device with adequate volume and clarity from the earpiece and no obvious problems from the microphone.
