B2100 is very tough. Have used mine while traveling on sea under a terrible weather and have to keep in touch with the office. Despite of sea water splashing on the phone, it is still very usable. Voice calls are clear also. Very tough when thrown. Got few scratches on the rubber housing but still, no particular defects. But, it has a very limited usage - SMS, MMS, Basic Web Browsing and Low on games.

And to make it clear - its not problem with my unit only and its not problem with batch that my phone came from. My brohter bought exactly the same phone year after I got mine and it has exactly the same problems as mine and he doesnt even abuse his phone as heavily as I have abused and used mine.
So food for thoughts ;)!
DONT buy this phone if you intend to use it as you only phone. Buy it only for specific activities such as sports and alikes.
If youre not into active lifestyle then this phone will disappoint you very soon.
Its cheap tho, new Xcoer 271 is more expensive and probablt with the same problems and little bit better battery life.

Been using it for 1.5 YEARS.
The good - its tough
The bad - call quality is terrible, people often baterly hear me so I have to yell like an idiot into the phone so they can hear me well.
I suspect its due to water resistant membranes. Also, if you get it wet, it will lover call quality significantly, because water gets trapped inside speaker and microphone so you will both get bad speaker quality and people will not hear you good so AGAIN you will have to yell.
My phone is nearing its end, its battery cover broke.
Screen is very reflective, so if you are out in a sunny day, you will have problems reading it.
Screen scratches easily.
Its big and its heavy. It should be slimmer and tad bit lighter.
Overall nice beater phone to use on holidays when hiking or riding boat, but I would NOT recommend it as your main phone!!!!

I am the happy owner of a B2100, too. I do, however, have one question. I accidentially activated the "block function" for incoming call from one of my contacts. Now I cant un-block it, which means that I cant receive calls from that person. Does anyone know how to unblock it again ?

I love this phone! This is the most practical phone that I have ever had! The battery performance is excellent!(lasts for 2 weeks with average use: texting, radio, torch/flashlight, mp3 player, and some camera and internet) The phone doesn't freeze, has very loud loudspeakers which can be used as portable music player. The camera is 1.3 mp and records videos which are clear enough to be watched. The speaker sounds muffled and contained as it is completely sealed. There is an offline mode so you can use it in airplanes. THE LED TORCH IS VERY BRIGHT, BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR HIKING IN THE WOODS OR MOUNTAINS. It's radio doesnt have rds as what this site says but you can record radio clips. The torch may turn on in your pocket if you forget to lock the keypads. Overall this phone is great for those who dont want to carry extra flashlights with them. It can be used as a -personal music player and fm radio. Camera is great for taking snapshots but video isnt that clear if played through the phone.

> In reply to Andre Oberholzer @ 2010-09-11 21:10 from f4$u - click to readI have had the same problem with the B2100 battery suddenly going to zero and the phone shutting off. Restart it and the battery is full. This happens randomly as far as I can tell. The store has given me 3 new batteries and a new phone, but I still have the same problem. The only thing I have noticed is that it seems to occur most often when the signal strength is poor. After turning it of and on a few times, it seems to work correctly. No one has been able to help me, yet. If you find an answer, please post it.
