Samsung SGH C100

...run up to Christmas, the Samsung Fun Club became the site of choice for eagle-eyed surfers. Just before Christmas 2003, Samsung began a competition issuing £50 cashback vouchers to one thousand Fun Club members every day. Less of a competition, more of a game of chance, the trick was simply to submit your form on their website until you 'won' your cashback prize. No doubt Samsung's aim was to clear abundant stocks of the unpopular C100 and outdated ...
...WAP AND GAMES The Samsung C100 is GPRS enabled, which means that your network operator will charge you for the amount of data you receive - not the time spent receiving it. If you like checking emails or downloading games, this is a big plus, as you can leave the phone connected to GPRS and still receive calls at the same time. Unfortunately I bought the first C100 phone on the Virgin network, and while it is probably the best PAYG network around, ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

...to take far longer than it should do, with lots of pointless extra button presses and few handy shortcuts. The Samsung should work on all UK networks. Only Orange seem to be offering it online at the moment: £99.99 for pay-as-you-go or free on contract. I wouldn’t bother, though. ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

Last Christmas my girlfriend picked up one of these phones for me, i used to have a nokia that didnt ring so i was quite pleased when i found this phone in my stocking. So its been about 4 months since Christmas and the phone is still working well although ive dropped it a few times and the dog got hold of it once so there are a few dodgy marks left on it. So what does this phone look like and feel like? Its a nice slim design and feels good to ...
...don’t know if they all come this colour). Although the phone is a little bit longer than some phones on the market it still looks very appealing and 'flash' it does have a modern look to it. There is a colour lcd display screen that is of a reasonable size, the background on the phones screen can also be animated and looks of really good quality. I have a frog that moves its head up and down on my background, haha. This baby has an infrared transmitter ...

...been a major seller for Samsung if they'd only put a little bit more thought into it and not got lazy on the details that really matter when you've got over the 'ooh, new phone!' factor. If the problems I pointed out above were rectified, I would without a doubt consider trying the phone again. Definitely think carefully before buying this phone; it may be worth spending a little more to get a more user-friendly model. However, if you're looking ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

...really quite good since the Samsung C100 uses the same sound capabilities as the Samsung E400 and E700. Text Messaging is a little odd at first for someone who has a background such as myself of using nokia and sagem phones. It's not difficult - just different. I send a lot of text messages so this is really important to me that it's easy to use. Text input is fine but the phone is let down a bit here by the fact that it does not learn new words. ...
...messages on the phone as well as any additional ones on the sim card. The phone supports EMS so you can send simple graphics or sounds to other phones as well as changing the way the text looks. You can put pictures on the phone which can be done through an infra red port on the side if the other end is connected to a PC. So, although it doesn't support MMS you can still put your own images on the phone. Games can be downloaded to the phone. At ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

...to buy a none fippy Samsung phone. Strangely enough, this cool little phone is only sold in very limited places. I got mine on contract from Phones4U, and I haven't really seen it elsewhere! Now, I'm not one for this technical jargon so you'll have to bear with this down to earth review. The C1OO is brilliant in it's own right. It's a very swarve looking little thing that weighs so little, I keep losing it in the recesses of my pocket. It's so slim ...
...I can be using constantly for a whole 2 days and it'll still be going fine. It's colour screen lights up a dull day! It's so bright and colourful, and with the choices of backgrounds and stuff, you'll always get a new look for your phone. The shades and colours that this phone offers is a real selling point for the phone, giving it the option of having real life stills as a background. I'm sure if you did more thorough research, there's the option ...

...as gift. At that time Samsung was only doing flip open phones. This was the new Samsung handset that I always wanted to but and I ended up getting it as a birthday gift from my elder brother. This phone was amazing in looks. It was sleek and stylish. It was probably one the first 65, 536 colours mobile phones. The colours were really sharp. And the light of the screen was also bright and you see in the day light. It was a nice hand set. It was easy ...
...time. But now having owned several other handsets, I feel the scroll down menu was only thing which I found annoying it. It was one of the first handsets to have a variety poly and mono ring tones. I had downloaded a lot of the mono ring tones. I still remember the first tone which I downloaded was Eman’s fuck. It had also a lots of built in rings. The phone was amazing and it most of the function you could ask for. You could send txt and messages. ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

This is a lovely slim and incredibly light phone that caught my eye in the shop after christmas. I have previously had the Nokia 3310 and 3320 so this was new ground for me. The reason I bought this phone was the price (£70 on pay as you go) and, I admit it, it was the best looking one on the shelf... I have never seen a phone that slim(17mm) and light (76g) which is probably why I can't seem to find it fast enough in my hand bag when I need it!!! ...
...to read. The keys are good size too. I also like that you can set the key pad to lock automatically after a pre-set time. It has all the other features I know from my old phones like calendar, alarm, calculator, to do list etc. The phone has got 65,536 display colours and very good ringing /messages / alert tones. There are 3 games on mine as well but I never use them to be honest. I have also downloaded ringing tones straight away through the wap ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

The Samsung C100 is a great phone for the novice, occasional user who wants something which looks good, from a reliable brand name with a colour screen, some fun games and good polyphonic ringtones. The phone has infrared connectability, but downloading ringtones, screensavers and games is most easily dome using WAP or GPRS. Annoying for some will be the fact that the C100, like most other Samsung phones, does not support the most readily available ...
...to find on the internet). Samsung also have a "Fun Club" where basic tones, screensavers and games can be downloaded using earned credits. The menus can be annoying to click through. Finding numbers from the phone book requires three or four clicks. Making calls is not, however, a chore. Sound level and quality was good. I highly recommend this phone for those in need of something that is compact and "looks the part", but who can't justify spending ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

Now a days there is a flood of mobile sets and its becoming difficult to select perfect mobile set. There was a boom of mobiles in those days. We had no mobile set where people were buying new mobiles. We want to get but no experience about selection a good one. At last after a great search we choose to buy a C100 mobile. In those day it was costly, but now a days its not as before. Why we select it? Well there are many reasons. But these 7 are ...

We were wonder when we sea its features and really impressed. First of all its look is great. Its silver color is good. One of its major features is its polyphonic ring tones that are real tones, they are so nice that you will not care to receive your call and you will want to continue ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

I got my Samsung C100 as an upgrade from my Nokia 8310 in October 2003. The Samsung has many advantages but a few disadvantages as well which i have listed below. PRO'S 1. Very lightweight 2. High resolution colour screen/many different wallpaper options 3. Organiser/Diary and Calendar 4. Alarm Clock and Calculator 5. Predictive Text Input 6. Funky Ringtones CON'S 1. Battery life is short - approx 36 hrs before showing low battery icon. ...
...and wallpapers from the Samsung Funclub site. 4. No radio or an inbuilt camera This phone isn't really very robust and feels as if if would break if you drop it a couple of times because it is so light. I haven't tried yet so i don't know how quickly it would break I find this phone easy to use but the battery life is limiting and the buttons are very small to use unless you have pixie fingers. The coverage is fairly good but that might have something ...

...pocket. But do not worry. Samsung has the right solution for you and its the samsung sgh-c100 phone. Its slim, light, a wonderful screen with 65000 colours and really looks great in its silvery cover. In my openion, this phone suits teens but not those who want to make a decent out of themselves. Because this phone is full of graphics and sounds. Lets suppose you are in a meeting and it comes to your mind that the phone is off, it can cause you ...
...It looks like as if Samsung has really taken advantage of it 6500 colours because the menu is full of wonderful images which are animated. The wall papers are also animated and it would be better to call them screensavers. It also has a wap browser and id thus a wap enabled phone. In adition to wap, it is also a GPRS phone and thus can act as a modem for your computer. But i wonder why Samsung has not added MMS in it. Becaus a GPRS phone without ...

Review of Samsung SGH C100

I bought this phone a couple of months ago on a Virgin tarriff. I was immediately impressed with in. I primarily went for it because I was looking for something reasonably priced but that looked ok and had all the necessaries. It fit the description. The phone is exceptionally easy to use is quite light and looks pretty good too! It has all essential features - colour screen, wallpaper, emoticons, polyphonic ring tones, predictive text, alarm, ...
...as well! Must confess I've not tried the handsfree set which came with it so i can't comment on it. The ring tones are good - and more can be downloaded from Samsungs website - as can pictures etc (NB: this is not a camera phone!) Overall it is excellent. Oh, and reception is good everywhere iv tried it - even abroad!! Only a couple, well three, minor draw backs. 1. It is dual band (i.e. can't be used in America) - not really a problem for me ...

Dear friends, Samsung have done it again. They have produced a good quality phone with added features but in reasonable price. The main qualities of this phone is the looks and the sleek design. Battery is sleek and this play a major role in weight feature. It have a colour screen and the quality of picture is great. It comes with good screen savers and the functions of the phone are well arranged. I will advise you to read the manuel before you ...

Please note the fact that prepaid phone vary in prices according to network and if going for prepaid make sure to choose the network which most of your friends and relatives are on since cross net texts and calls are expensive.

Review of Samsung SGH C100

This phone looked a little ugly to me on the net before i bought it, and i was having second thoughts. I'm glad i got it in the end though! It looks rather smart, the screen is high-quality and even displays photo quality stuff very well. The ringtones are loud and proud, even if the space is a little limited. Txting is sometimes a bit annoying. You cannot add words to the T9 dictionary, and flicking between numbers and stuff is unnecessarily difficult, ...
...got used to it eventually! It's a rather easy to use phone, but does have plenty of features to keep the user interested. It features a 50-entry calendar, JAVA-support, GPRS, and 40-bit polyphonic ringtones. One thing i found very dissappointing with the phone is the speed. The phone is a little slow at time, and most games are not playable as they run so slowly. The two built-in games are ok but wouldn't keep you interested for long. The most ...
