Samsung B2700 review: Tough and geared - read the full textSamsung may be flying high on INNOV8 but they sure have at least a toe on the ground. Just recently they spilled the low-to-mid-end bag, so we don’t forget a flagship is only as good as the fleet behind it. No handset in the handful they just...

Good review, might be just the phone I'm looking for, seeing as:-
a) My Orange contract's due up in three weeks.
b) Orange coverage here has gone abysmal, so looking to move to 3/O2 network.
c) Phones that give me trouble need to be tough. Samsung D500s and U600s don't like walls.

Tests conditions: 5 minutes calling per day, mobile switched on 24x7, no other function used.
- without MicroSD card: ... 14 days!!! Really great.
- with 4GB MicroSD, empty (no file) and formated by the phone: ... less than 3 days. Is there a problem?

Just bought a B2700 as a replacement for my nokia 5100 which has lasted 5 years with zero problems. splashproof, rugged and long battery life is everything for me - with heaps more tech than the old.
Will a bluetooth GPS unit sinc with this for google maps etc?

Yes, it's possible to sync with MS Outlook (or Outlook Express). You can sync your contacts, calendar, tasks and notes.

Does anyone know if it's possible to install opera mini on this phone? I haven't managed yet - it won't open the .jar or .jad files. I also didn't find it on the list of phones at http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/samsung/ so maybe it's not possible?
I haven't yet managed to connect to internet with the built-in browser either...

This Samsung phone is only an updated version of the old Nokia 5140 and 5140i. Just take a look at this link: http://www.nokia.co.uk/5140i

Does anyone know if you can plug in a usual headphone. No idea what the name in English is - the stuff you would plug in an Ipod or similar.

Besides that seems a great phone. Finally a substitue for my Siemens ME45.

I can not understand that bla, bla concerning Nokia-Samsung. If you are a fundementalist Nokia lover you can make an altar at home and pray to your Nokia. At the moment I can not see any competitor produced by Nokia to this mobile.
