I could put up with taking 3 seconds to unlock 6 if you press something while taking it out of your pocket, having a non intuitive interface etc. cos it is tough and basic but when I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen was cracked what seemed a good value tough phone now seems a waste of money

Had this phone for 2 months and i must have dropped it hundreds of times amongst other things. It has stood up to abuse that no other phone has in the past. My ringtone volume is just fine! No different to any other phone i have previously owned. Samsung Solid for life. Cheers

Very ordinary, Ring tone to quiet, calculator too hard to opperate. They should ask real tradies when they design a "tradie phone". I need a LOUD ring . an easy to use calculator, be able to send photos without a PHD .Not real happy with this phone . Is the b2700 any better?

Brand new, got it home, some kind of fault where speaker makes a cliking noise when trying to sample sound settings. All other sounds work. Brought to replace my 3rd broken Nokia which I liked but couldnt handle my working conditions. As above, if you used a Nokia, dont buy this. Basic navagation of phone is far from basic/easy.

Great idea, "tough phone". But needs to be from Nokia.

Great phone BUT the ring tone is way to quiet for a trady phone I have trouble hearing it ring it seems very quiet even though I have it turned up as loud as possible. Does anyone have a remedy for this ?

Just received this handset this morning for work use.

Can't get over how light it is.

Seems solid enough, will see how it is after 12 months rolling across the dash of my van.

Have been given a new SGH-M110 and will be interested to see if it will stand up to Agricultural/Forestry use like the Nokia 6250 did including being inside a coat pocket with sawdust and rainwater. (Nokia lasted six years of hard use before the On/Off switch broke) This fone has SMALL buttons for people with large hands!!

Sensible comments welcome!

I have seeen this and it does the same job as the Mototola W180, but the Motorola is much cheaper, has a better battery life and looks better

This has to be one of the worst phones ever built - with the exception of the early 3mobile efforts. Tough, yes, but do I care when i want to run it over with a dumper myself?!

It is impossible to use, extremely slow and clumpsy and has a tendency to reset itself to default even when you change the settings, for anyone that is used to working with a Nokia, don't buy this phone, it is like it has been built for a 5 year old. Everything is convoluted and there is no quick or easy way to do anything. Samsung seem to be about 5 years behind everyone else in terms of speed or ease of use.

What can I say, this is a horrible, horrible piece of technology, I hope they go back to the drawing board and start from scratch!

strong-yes
simple-yes
but the absolute worst phone i have ever owned!!!!!
from new the keys were faulty.

Phone would randomlly turn off.

Every time i created a new txt it would switch predictive txt off.

Even if i was sent a txt from someone sitting rite next to me i would recieve them 3-4 hours later.

Have gone back to nokia and have no problems.
sorry SAMSUNG!

> In reply to dominic @ 2008-09-17 10:25 from ibjiYou can set it to "offline mode" and you'll be unreachable as if you switched the phone off. When screen goes out the phone uses as much battery as when shut off and all reminders alarms etc. still work.

As for my experience with the phone; I think It's not that tough at all. I've put it under shower for a second wiped it out and after some time the upper edge of screen got foggy from the inside. Seems like some water got in through the speaker opening. After one month the phone still works, so no harm was done.
Otherwise the phone is "spartan" - has only necessary features which I don't mind at all. However I would like more flexibility - browsing phone book by groups, using custom pictures for contacts (not only presets or those taken with camera) etc...
One thing that still annoys me is that when you select the contact to call you must select which number to dial (gsm, office, home) even when contact has only one number listed.
