Can u explain the following:
"The loss to the company's goodwill may be far worse"
Wake up man! Go through the quarterly financial closing of Nokia, Samsung, LG and Motorola. For ease, GSM Arena has given brief on it. Go through it and you ll find that Samsungg & LG are increasing their sales as well as goodwill and Nokia is losing its market share.
Don't write or say anyting without proper knowledge.

Just to update..
Tried with two of my relatives if they could at least use the phone.. They did not like it.
Sold off the product at a big loss last week.
Added a few extra bucks to the price i got for it, and bought a bare-bottom Nokia!(Nokia 1203)
And HAPPY about it. :-)
At least i can use it without having to irritate myself.
But no fm radio in the bargain.. my choice, i could have bought a higher nokia model if i wanted.
A funny thing happened at the store.. the salesman was pitching a few models to me. Showed Nokia, LG.. and then said "this new Samsung one is real good". The firmness with which i reacted shocked the guy!!
What to do, once bitten twice shy.
Note:
I quote from rules i can see "No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand will get you banned"
I wish to state that i am just putting forward my personal user experience. I have used four Nokia sets, never had to exert myself in using any of them. Bought the first Samsung, and had to suffer a loss in selling it within three months.
India is a very price sensitive market, and companies have to compete to offer products at the lower price points. But my sincere advice is that if they cannot invest enough R&D money in building a lower range model, it is better not to introduce a frustrating one. The loss to the company's goodwill may be far worse. I surprised myself with the intensity with which i refused to even consider a Sg at the shop.
I for one will not be buying another Sg in a hurry. Sorry Mr Aaamir Khan, even if you say so!

I agree to the fact that Samsung is lousy for SMSing.. It takes ages to type a msg. Also, the response time is too slow for any operation.. I personally have used samsung phones, and the company hasnt made slightest effort to improvise the user interface..
On the other side Nokia is the best for messaging.. Also the reception sensitivity is quite good compared with samsung..
The best part about samsung is its clear sound compared with nokia..
So to conclude, if u r looking for messaging use Nokia, else go in for Samsung for voice calls and great FM clarity..
More later..

Reply to Dave:
Thanks buddy for such a polite reply!
I begin with declaring any potential conflict of interest (should have done that in my earlier post itself)
Conflict of interest: None declared
Neither me, my relatives or my close friends are employed with, or affiliated with any mobile phone company. (A pity really, could have done with some insider information)
A point to be emphasized.. I have sought to degrade the user experience offered by the particular model B210 made by Samsung. How does that equate to downgrading Samsung phones in entirety?
Exaggeration is the one of the basic virtues tought to all budding advertisers.. Makes me wonder if you are in the advertising field! :-)
I have not used any other Samsung mobile set ever, so cannot comment on the brand at all.
In fact, Samsung honcho says they aim to be second best mobile brand in India. Point to be noted.. even they are aiming to be second best only! To be the largest selling brand (here in India), they would need to be better, not just equal to Nokia.
Perplexed by your suggestion. Why should i get feedback from other Samsung users, now that i have already committed the mistake of buying this particular model? I have used it, and shared my experience of using it and the nags i faced. Its for the company guys to be gathering consumer feedback.
Thanks for second suggestion. Unfortunately, they have not yet started the concept of tutorial classes for teaching people how to learn to operate "good featured" phones {Quotes intended. I do not intend the readers to carry the impression that i am calling this piece a 'good featured phone'!} So till the time coaching is provided, we technically challenged people usually either discover a feature in a phone by trial and error fiddling with it, or look to the nicely folded glossy 'User maual' that usually accompanies new marvels of technology. And in case a User Manual that is comprehensive enough to show via a series of diagrams, how a CALL IS TO BE MADE using a phone (First press this.. then press digits.. then press this... !!) does not show 'Reminders' as a feature, we assume its absence from the technopot we just bought.
"Come out from Nokia's basic phone."
I just did.. Still repenting it!
"Go to "Calendar" and select "Create"...and set your event or memo."
I hope you are talking of the same model my review was about. The only options i find in the Calendar view are "1-Go to date, 2-Starting day (of a week), 3-Festivals (specific to India)". There is no 'create' option.
"For T9 dictionary, press * while typing. T9 dictionary will be set permanently."
No.. T9 is not set permanently. It starts with whatever mode was last active while typing the last message.
"In inserting symbols, you have not changed the settings. Do it and the phone won't ask any questions. :)"
In inserting symbols, i could not find any settings! Tell me where exactly the magic switch is, and i shall smile back!
"Com'on...in typing message, you don’t need to format it properly."
Ah, the murderers of the English language. How i despise thee.. {Note the capitalization used in the sentence} :-)
"it means Samsung have done the right thing, as one needs "123" more than formal "Abc" or "ABC"."
Wow. Were you the guy who did the market research for them on deciding this? No seriously.. What do other people find handy.. '123' as first change or 'Abc' as first change?
"Anyhow....you enjoy your bulky Nokia, with no "Privacy Setting" on different folders. :)"
To be honest with you, i AM actually missing the sturdy feel of the Nokia set. It was reassuring really. So many times did i drop the sets i had, sat over them, and even sometimes slept right over them (not deliberately!)
Are you really talking about this phone model only? The privacy setting for individual folders is supposed to be in higher range models, no? Or is it such a top secret feature that even the User manual (praise be to that glossy sheet) omits it..?
By the way i forgot to discuss.. 'Selective recall' or 'selective highlighting' is another favored tool of true blue advertisers {Thats how they make us believe that taking your loved ones to McDonald's, and getting your kids used to the taste of the junk as early as possible in life, is a true reflection of how caring you are!!} You seem to have carefully forgotten the other several points i had discussed.

Reply to Adiman:
Good job Adiman!! You’ve tried your level best to downgrade Samsung phones. :)
I suggest you one thing that kindly get feedback of Samsung's users too...that how much they are used to of and comfortable with all message settings in Samsung phones. :D
Few points to be discussed here. 1st of all, the "Reminders" are available. All you have to do is to learn to use good featured phones. Come out from Nokia's basic phone. Go to "Calendar" and select "Create"...and set your event or memo. :
For T9 dictionary, press * while typing. T9 dictionary will be set permanently.
In inserting symbols, you have not changed the settings. Do it and the phone won't ask any questions. :)
Com'on...in typing message, you don’t need to format it properly. Why do u want to use capital letters so often? It’s not an official letter or email. :p The concept of sms is to communicate smoothly & casually. So if "123" option is before "Abc" or "ABC", it means Samsung have done the right thing, as one needs "123" more than formal "Abc" or "ABC".
Anyhow....you enjoy your bulky Nokia, with no "Privacy Setting" on different folders. :)
