Samsung C100

ALERT!Two brands of C100 in Nigerian market.One bought from a Samsung distributor (D)and the other bought from Tosman computer electronic store Ikeja Lagos(T).

T;1. Carton is darker

2.Write up inside the phone(with battery removed)appears sharper than the one bought from 'D'

3.A waste basket crossed with an x is drawn on the inside of the one bought from T.

4.A sticker of same waste basket crossed with x is on the charger.

Can Samsung investigate this please as this phone is popularly used in Nigeria.

The Samsung C100 has a beautiful colour display which is based on the Samsung sft screen technology, even though the refresh rates are good, a lot needs to be done as far as the screen size is concerned.. a little bigger screen would have enhanced the sales of the phone ..

Even though the keypad and the lights are solid, messaging from this phone is a nightmare, for one there is no one-to-many sms function, the typing is tedious and the response time is large when the characters exceed 240 letters ... and the screen displays an annoying 2 message .. When the number of characters exceed 240.....

The battery even though sleek takes around 4 hours to charge and for a heavy user like me lasts for around 20 hours ....so have to carry the phone along ..

The WAP function is bad as well .. the 1.2.1 browser is very slow and for entering a new site you have to go to the fun box and type the URL and then connect to the site which is plainly speaking cumbersome

The games are OK but the memory is short .. the vibration is too difficult to be felt ...

One pathetic aspect of this phone is the lack for the mms facility ....

Over all there are better phones available in the market for a lesser rate for e.g. Sony t230.

Happy with its look and sound.

Tone and PICtures cannot be attached in SMS. seems like attachement is possible from a personal folder alone but never able to save anything to this personal folder that you never send anything from this personal folder!! Not possible to SEND TONE AND PICTURE -hectic?

Reception is low, ring sound is good only for some perticular frequecny. retains most setings after battrey removal. But some settings do reset. IRDA commincation works fine with LAPTOP.

I've been using my Samsung C100 for about 2 months. Few problems had arised with it, only for slow messaging and long recharging time. But I found that this phone is very nice and attractive.

Tried connecting to a pc with an A 300 cable. Never worked. Don't know if there is a cable available for the Samsung C100 mobile phone. Haven't tried the IRDA though. Animated menus are not slow like some would have you believe. Shortcut keys are very convenient. The WAP browser is good enough. Not great but good. I haven't had any problems with this phone so far.

I bought the Samsung SGH-C100 mobile phone a few months ago over the internet for £89.99 which is a bit more than in most shops but i have to say i think it is nearly worth every penny: i like the colours and the layouts but the annoying thing is that it has quite slow starting menus, for example when you turn on the fone you have to wait about half a minute for the sms service to "Initialise".

But that's really the only annoying thing about it.

Overall if the one to many sms is provided...the Samsung C100 mobile phone is just great

I bought this Samsung SGH-C100 mobile phone in Oct. '03 and found out that I had bought just the right phone, it has an excellent array of tones with good sound quality and loudness and it's screen resolution is extremely superb. It has all the features I needed except MMS and not so good reception.

I just bought this Samsung SGH-C100 mobile phone as a replacement for my sharp gx10i and iam delighted, this phone is amazing, samsung have really gone up in the world, the menus are nicley designed and are very nice to look at (unlike the sharp gx10i) the ringtones are the best i have ever heard. the screen has got a nice bright colour display, that is unusal compared to other budget phones, the only thing i can knock about the phone is the size of the screen, it could have been a bit bigger!! it comes with 4 games and even they are fun!! even the the sharp gx10i is a expensive phone the menus are bland and boring, well thats the whole phone really! the only good thing was the camera! anyway i recomend this phone to anybody who is looking to spend around £80, it beat phones priced the same by far!!!!!!!!!

I've just got the Samsung SGH-C100 mobile phone in less than 2 weeks now. I met all I saw in its catalogue on vodacom website. It's just a great phone with a great design. The display is second to none, the ringing tones are better than best, the power management is excellently ok and the reception is well acceptable. Thanx to SAMSUNG. Some people might feel very different from my own feelings, but for me, the phone is just ok and it's cost-effective.
