hey, i recommend 6610 instead of C100, yeah, LCD 65K but worse than 4096 colors from 6610 and the menu is very very slow, have you touched it? if yes, you probably change ur mind! First, i intend to get C100 but now I got 6610! esp. you can hear FM radio at free time! and sure the battery life of C100 is very bad! Just only the cheaper price in Vietnam (2.6 mil?)

Does the C100 have good signal reception and does it work on Verizon.

I am in Vietnam and presently comparing the Samsung C100 and Nokia 6610. Personally I prefer the C100 'cause its better LCD with 65K colors and better ring tones and ofcouse its cheaper price. But what I got from others' opinions is that the battery life is so poor. Can anyone please tell me if it is true? Thanks a lot.

I have been using a Samsung phone for some time before I moved to Siemens SL45 and was on the lookout for a new phone. I am currently comparing the SGH-C100 and the Nokia 6610.

I tested out both phones, and on usability the Samsung C100 seems far better even if MMS was missing (not a priority for me).

But I was reading up the reviews (only two were found one from uk.gsmbox.com and another in mobile-review.com) and these pointed out that the C100 has a very poor battery time (2 days for normal use), network search and reception is very poor, it freezes when the network is lost and the search is initiated, and also that the T9 dictionary cannot be updated.

Compartively the 6610 issue is only that it does not support EMS picture messaging, the display is less colourful (naturally 65K vs 4096 colors) and its buttons are not as easy to use as the C100.

The battery life issue with the C100 I can live with, but can anybody confirm on the T9 update issue, the freezing when network search happens and on the poor reception, as these are very notable ommissions.

Also does anybody know how much memory this has for pictures, games, etc?

C100 just arrived Vietnam here in Aug: the price varies from $190 to $230! (no line), small screen, normal shape and color but wonderful ringtones! yes!!! but the "name" menu which is activated by the right softkey is soooo slooooooow at the first activating after the phone turned on!(about one minute or more, not good,why?!) but at all, the price is equal to its quality!
