hi. i am planning to buy this phone. i had 2 samsung handsets before (e250 and d880) and both would only store up to 200 messages in the phone's inbox. I'd like to buy a phone which could store huge number of messages like nokia phones. Thus, I want to know if how many messages could this b2100 store in its message inbox. hope somebody could please enlighten me on this. thanks in advance.

hi
its been a tough decision to exchange my 2 year old sweet nokia 5300 xpress music for samsung marine @ 4560 Rupees

from univercell. I was mainly using 5300 for web browsing and music. When i look the profile at gsm arena for

marine, i thought i can use the same opera mini in marine too. But i was to tally frustrated for not being so after

i bought the marine. and no software cd, no usb cord supplied in the pack. so iwas not able to connect to internet

through mob;le and through laptop (using mobile pc suite).
I downloaded several pc suite for samsung c net and others. But the usb modem driver not detected. This time i was

totaly brokedown. i thought of exchange this with any other nokia. Univercell offered 3000 rupees only that too

after buying from them and that too 2 days old. I felt to trash samsung. In between i had to manually add the

setting for airtel mobile office to use web. the default browser is so pathetic than in my old Nokia n gage QD

which i had exhanged for nokia n 73
(Oh! my god, i really want to forget that mob... its a piece of .... for 6 months i was in nokia service centre

for repairing that one. every time it produced new complaint after every repair, the mobile went to delhi & mumbai

from kochi : nokia care person say so: i waited for 3 to 4 weeeks both time the mobile travelled to mumbai and

delhi. i bought nokia 1200 in between to use as a spare mobile while my nokia n 73 went for all india tour. in my

opinion symbian 60 is a toatal failure , diastrous for people who buy it, extremly lucky if those mobile are

trouble free. NOKIA 5300 express had no complaint. except the broken link of the slide conneccter cost me 650 rs.

Nokia sysbian 40 is the only relaible software they have. THEY SHOULD R&D MORE ON SYMBIAN 40 ONLY. And finally i

get rid of the n 73 @ half price i bought in 7 th month. )

coming back to samsung... and there was a problem as other readers says here (unexpected shutting down issue with

the low batter indicator and on the restart showing full battery). i was not detected it was an issue for somedays.

only when i try to use operamini it was an issue. but the opera mini was not wroing etall : it was showing an error

LIKE SERVER TIME AND MOBILE EQUIPMENT TIME MISMATCH. what the heck. so when i contacted samsung care shop. they

said u can't use opera mini. that was the issue for mobile shuttting down. ok i uninstalled all third party apps.

and used pathetic default web browser for two three days. bUT THE SAME COMPALINT HAPPENED. sO I CONTACTED THEM

AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR 5 MIN.
And unexpectedly they given me the new battery and said if the caomplaint pahhens again we will replace mobile

itself. Remember i was not aware of the samsung and lg service procedure. Only heard of them. Beacuse i was ever

used mobile phones other than nokia,. And the new battery is running great. No issues untill now, it ran for

morethan 4 days with medium usage of 2 to 3 hrs per day on net browsing on the samsung browser , music, call.
Still i was not able to use it as usb modem because of the wrong software. so I tried the software fiven in samsung

site for samsung b 2100 . New pc studio installer , File verion 15.0.0.591, setup_1.1.2.IC7_6.exe around 90 mb.

For some reason it didn't work on my vista lap. I installed it on windows 7. AND HIT THE JACKPOT. MAKESURE AFTER

WINDOWS 7 INSTALLATION (B4 U UPDATE, B4 U INSTALL ANY OTHER APPLICATION U INSTALL NEW SAMSUNG PC SUITE. OTHERWISE

IT MAY NOT WORK. MAY BE IT AWS NOT WORKING BECAUSE I HAD NOKIA PC SUITE INSATLLED IN VISTA. IN WIN 7 I HAD

INSTALLED JAVA SOFTWARE IN LAPTOP PRIOR TO THE SAMSUNG PC SUITE INSTALLATION.

sO NOW I AM ABLE TO USE THE B2100 AS A USB MODEM WITH AIRTEL MOBILE OFFICE. AND THIS MOBILE OFFICE SERVICE PROVIDED

BY AIRTEL IS THE CHEAPEST UNLIMITED INTERNET CONECTION ( @ 1500 PER YEAR) IN INDIA BY ANY SERVICE PROVIDER TO MY

KNOWLEDGE. EVENTHOUGH AT A SLOWER CONNECTIO SPEED ,

GPRS AREA 48 KBPS in downoading u get aroung 5 to 7 kbps.
EDGE AREA 126 kbps in downloading u get around 10 to 17 kbps.

This is only in postpaid.

In prepaid connection it goes to 4500 rs per year for the same thing mobile office. ( u better take postpaid 200

plan and internet so it will come to 2400 + 1500 = 3900 + some taxes will be around may be 500 rs .

AT 4400 rs u will get postpaid connection plus a year internet connection in postpaid.

At 4500 rs uget internet connection only in prepaid ... which is better . u think.


So this is a fraction of my mobile life.
CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST ANY WORKING THIRD PARTY MOBILE WEB BROWSER IN B2100.

I have it for some time. It's a good phone, resistent. the battery last for almost 5 days( and nights). Some times it turns off for no reason. The good thing it's that you can always turn it on again !All on all its the best HAVYDUTY phone sience Motorola R6 (I think that was the best phone ever).

The B2100 is an excellent phone and raliable for extreme conditions I has benn used one, for the last four months and the phone looks and works like new. You do not be disapointed with this phone and the price is lower than similar models.

This phone is so cool for a outdoor trekkie like me. Do anyone knows how to configure Opera Mini for this phone? Any idea for a firmware that will enhance the functionality of this phone? Thanks!
