i have owned a samsung e715 since january of 2004. actually you could say i have owned 4 of them and i am fixing to own another. all e 715s i have owned have started to have scan lines and fade out. the phone works great and has some great features but if your screen fades out there is no point in having such good features. another thing is the pictures of the inside of your pocket which are great if you love black pictures of nothing, but i will say that when it does take a picture of the inside of your pocket it at least lets you know by releasing a shutter sound. the ringtones on this phone suck and that is all there is to say about that. also i have to recharge my battery about every other day and sometimes i do not have a charger with me when i need it. i bought this phone because it looks great and has the great features, but man it has been a pain in my hind quarters.
