The torch button will be turned on in your pocket while hunting or walking in the wilderness. When you get to the cottage after a 20 km walk, the phone is very low on battery. If there is no electrical power in the cottage, then the 19 days battery live is of no use.
Samsung should make it posibel to disable the torch button or make a top cover that protect the torch button so it will not be pressed "ON" in your pocket.
All the rest; water resistant, w/ GPS, compass and radio are very usuable.
the phone is great but the internal speaker does go out and the cover lock wears out and they bounce whenever you drop them
Great phone for my trade however when I go to my contacts and type in the first letter, why do all the contacts with the letter appear?
I only want the contacts to appear that start with this letter. This is really frustrating me.
Got this phone on 3,i love it. very cool
Brilliant handset. Battery life is never ending!!! Also waterproof and dust proof. Very highly reccomended.
Very durable handset that does not comprimise on features. I love the AMAZING battery life this hansdset offers. Best phone I have EVER had. Period. 100 percent

As the authorized service told me they don't open this phones. If they can't fix them with software they replace it with new one. So I got a new one with up to date firmware. The only reason I had to wait four weeks is because they were waiting for new shipment from Samsung.
While I was waiting for replacement I got familiar with GPS apps and now I like this phone even more. I'd recommend Trekbuddy and Wetravel
John, 04 Aug 2011I saw much better and stronger phone than that. It's called Nomu LM870 and is on e-bayUnfortunatelly it's only IPX5 which means it can be exposed to rain but can't be submerged in water. And it costs just the same.

Had been using this phone for about three weeks. I was getting familiar with gps java apps (Navigami, Trekbuddy, MGMaps). I made 1,2gb large MGMmap cache that contained 50.000 files. I then inserted the card in phone and it was reading it much longer than usual which I didn't find strange as it had to read 50.000 new files. So i set up alarm clock and went to sleep.
In the morning phone didn't ring, was unresponsive and was still reading SD card. I switched it off took the SD card out and switched it back on. The start-up animation played out but nothing happened. The phone would reset its self every 5min without success.
It's been more than two weeks since I took it to the dealer and am still waiting for it.
Will report when I get it back.

B2710. Love this phone but in the last 4 months since I got one I have dialed emergency services inadvertently at least 10 times.
Even though the key pad is locked numbers like 911, 999, 112, 111 can still be dialed if something contacts the key pad whilst its in my pocket. It is driving me crazy not to mention our emergency services. Can this very annoying feature be disabled?

The reason I ask is because not so long ago I bought the similar Samsung B2100 unlocked from an online retailer in the UK and when I went to North America recently, the phone wouldn't boot up on a Rogers SIM, or FIDO (same people really).
It only worked on an AT&T SIM when I was in the States.
This is good.
the battery should have been at least 2000mAh like E2370.. how long before is this officially out in the Philippines?
is this available in the Philippines?
Are there any good cases for this phone? I know it's strong and all but I'd like to extend it's luster by protecting it from scratches. I'm in Australia and I don't mind paying for shipping.

Talktime for Samsung Xcover 271 mentioned in specifications at gsmarena.com are incorrect as it says 'Up to 19 h (2G)'.
Samung sites says only 'up to 870 minutes (2G)' which should equal about 'Up to 14,5 h (2G)' (which is around 24% less than specified at gsmarena.com.
