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.
2. On/Off button sometimes unresponsive
3. Hard to download ringtones 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 to do with vodafone being excellant in my area, it is sometimes a little hard to hear people on the other end and the ringtone section is hard to navigate although there are many tones you can't get the message tone on silent without going through a few tones first which can be irritating for the people around you on for example the train or the bus or in the office.

Battery life is one of the big reasons I stick with Nokia - thanks for the op. Phil

Ignore the analy retentive idiots who commented on your review. You've highlighted everything you need to know. I thought it was just me having problems with the on-off switch and getting irritated by the ring-tones when trying to move around the sounds menu. Excellent phone otherwise though and I am completely addicted to the Pac Man game which they call Midlet man

Hi, sorry for the H rating but if you include more info. and punctuation , I will happily re-rate. Have a look at the other 'phones' ops to get a better idea of what is needed for higher ratings and let ppl know via their guestbooks once (if) u re-write. :) xx E.
