Cannot agree more with what Nevin and Mr. Anonymous have to say in reply to Mr. Truth's Query. The S3310 is no match to the GM200!

Now coming to ma experience with the The LG ASC, Belgaum Karnataka, today. I Had problem with ma headsets since yesterday as i was unable to get hear the music to its fullest and even the track was getting slower. I jus dropped into the ASC today told them the problem and zapak i was given a brand new headsets without an iota of tantrums. I also enquired about ny new updates for the GM200, they said they will let me know as nd wen they get it...

Some news to be happy i guess.

> In reply to TRUTH @ 2010-02-27 17:29 from utNymate gm200 is better than s3310. In most areas gm200 wins hands down.
About the excessive talking thing... well you wont be able to do any excessive talking on s3310 as the battery capacity is too low and the phone uses up too much power quickly.

Only thing s3310 have over gm2000 is a larger and better screen, better video capture, memory expansion.

Installing apps on s3310 is a pain in the @$$. On gm200 its a lot easier... not as flexible as comparable Nokias/SE(as they both belong to a completely different league in terms of java app support) but its still a lot better samsung phones.

Be warned that resetting the phone may lose all data on your phone. So better make a backup of your contacts before planning to do so...

> In reply to TRUTH @ 2010-02-27 17:29 from utNyI've been wanting to make a comparison of S3310 with my GM200 and you have give me an excuse to do so..

First of all, GM200 is far superior to S3100 in most aspects apart from a few things here and there.

So let me just point out the advantages that GM200 has over S3310.
GM200 is a dedicated music phone with a 3.5mm jack. So more flexibility to upgrade to any sort of earphones.

S3310 has an 800mAh battery while GM200 has a 1100mAh battery. It is a big difference as the S3310 needs to be charged daily with moderate usage.

The audio quality of GM200 is definitely better than S3310 with audio quality much better than most low end walkman phones and second only to the Nokia 5130. But the Dolby mobile is a feature unique to this phone.

About games and application
The only way you can install Games and apps is via wap. So unless you have a GPRS connection, you can't do anything about it. It is not possible to transfer jar files from PC and install it directly.
In addition to that, the application size is limited to a maximum of 500kb. I have installed dictionary on my GM200 without any problem and the size is 1.7mb.

I have compared the camera quality with the higher model S3500 and found that the pics viewed in PC looks a bit more realistic in my GM200 with better white balance though the S3500 has better colour saturation. So I have to conclude that both are neck to neck..

Then there is the 2.1Ch speakers and the woofer which is a definite advantage if you use the speakers a lot. You don't get that in any other phones in this price range especially the S3310.

The S3310 sure looks stylish but featurewise, it doesn't even come close. I am wiriting this from the perspective of a full on music fanatic. So my opinions are purely subjective and according to me GM200 is definitely better than S3310.

looking for mobiles with features and similar price, i had to take a decision between lggm200 and samsung s 3310. i went for lggm200. now on reading reviews of both i wonder whether my decision was wrong. reviews of samsung s 3310 give an impression not only for the camera quality, the music/battery power it seems is not bad either.besides extensive talk doesnt heat up the mobile, which is also perhaps a bad feature of lggm200.
any comments experts?
