X100 is a good phone for it's cost.
it's Cons are
1. Ringtones/Picture messages are not downloadable via SMS, Via GPRS yes it's possible.
2. Data Cable is not easily available
USB datacables is not supported unless
Special USB cables with "COM port emulation software", i hear that
COM Cable is same as E100/E700/S500 cable.(So it's aproblem for Laptop users with no COM Port).
3.No INFRA support.
Otherwise the Phone is great when compared Feature vs cost.

I would suggest SE T230 is anyday a better choice then Samsung C100, because, the ringtone volume is loud and clear in Sony and the best part is the long long long battery life of SE.

You cannot download more than 3 ringtones in samsung x100. regarding 9 MB memory. yes it has it but the memory is distributed with maximum reserved for MMS and SMS...

More Info on X100.i use the X100 with Hutch GPRS.beleive me, ive already saved more than 3 poly tones(all MID files,not from yahoo,rediff...etc)and pictures(couple of britney stuff).A point to note,the X100 cannot download a poly ringtone that is above 30KB.Also when downloading a picture,there is no preview like the "view image"function in Nokia6600.This is really irritating for me.Browsing on the X100 is really easy otherwise except for the nagging GPRS symbol at the bottom of the screen.

HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!
I am spending SLEEPLESS nights just for a phone.As i want a good deal,& i don't want to waste my hard-earned money on some thrash.I have gone through the market,vitually each every shop in each & every corner of Bombay.Finall i had short listed 3 phones,SonyEricsson T230,Samsung C100,Samsung X100. Then i selected to drop out SE T230,as the other two phones outshine it in some ways.
As i am still in my teens,i fantasise Godd Polyphonic ringing,cool wallpaper enabled phone.The problem now is that Some people are saying that only 3polyphonic ringtones can be downloaded,but as the phone specifications state that the X100 is with 9 MB shared memory for various purposes,why can't we download ringtones and wallpapers into it? X100 has a screen that is DOUBLE the size of C100's screen. Are the ringtones & wallpapers in Rediff.com,,Indiatimes.com,,Yahoo!.com,, compatible in these two phones i.e C100 & X100.
PLs anyone who knows the perfect answer mail me,as i am in a desperate need of a phone.I would like to finalise a phone within the next 24hrs.
Regards,
VB

Well Mad Maniac. I did tested the colume stuff in a store an dit doesn't actually increase the volume that much. Agreed, it is audible in a room but not on the street. Well regarding download things, if u r downloading from say yahoo, msn or rediff or for that matter Indiatimes, then they all support mainly Nokia Models. I had SE t310 and i was unable to download ring tones from yahoo. I though my phone was bad but it was compatibility issue. i was able to download from planetmg.com and sony ericsson's website.
The scariest part of samsung phones is thast there are just 3 ringtones downloadable. ringtone volume low and vibration alert average. But Battery life sucks.
when it comes to battery life, Sony Ericsson Rules. Its phones have big time battery life.
I still dont know if i should buy the X100 for 6300 Rs or LG G5300 for 8000 Rs or buy a digital 3.2 MPX kodal Camera for same 8000 Rs

hi people !
thiz iz tushar 22/m/bbay
Even I m planning to buy X100 shortly...but a few shortcomings which i have read on net forums have really put me in a big soup
#1
I have heard many users complaining about the compatibility of phone wth downloaded pictures and mmf sounds...(existing users...can u plz clarify ?)
#2
Its equally problematic when it comes to PC sync. Given the fact that it doesnt have an infra red port...PC sync is aboslutely essential.
#3
As far as I recall, it doesnt come with a string holder...which makes it a bit impractical for people who travel by train, bus etc.
Another version of Samsung X100 i.e. X105 is supposed to be very fantastic..features are the same....but it definitely has an edge over X100 coz of its troublefree compatibility with wap downloaded stuff and..presence of infra red port.
I enquired with a local shopkeeper in Mulund...he said X105 should be here in a couple of months...its a long wait...but defnitely worth considering in case u dun wanna buy a phone urgently !
#Fahed..u can try thiz out to increase the loudness of ringtones...
Type this code *#8999*8378#
You will be able to see the software/Hardware version, Manfacturing Date, battery type etc...
Also u can increase the ringtone volume
to do this select H/W test
go to Audio Settings
go to Melody Gain
Press save(again press save Repaeat until u get Melody Level 5)
and change the value to 31 and press save.
Come out from the menu, check the volume now
feeedback r *welcome*
tu$har !

San2, I checked the X100 at a local store in Mumbai and found its ringer volume to be extremely low. There will be instances where i may miss the call due to low ringer volume. Otherwise its a nice looking piece with a good display.
Now u hv scared me abt its network problem. If u r in Mumbai and using Airtel then u r bound to face such problems coz Airtel Sucks. However, if the phone is able to keep its network on Orange or a BPL network, then it may be ok with me.
Since u say network is a problem. I may hv to go for LG G3100 due to its loud ringer volume and to an extent its network catching stuff should be good. Lets see.. still confused

Fahed,i got the X100 from Singapore for my sis.It works just fine.personally i have a N6600,but the X100 is real good,battery is 900MAH unlike other Samsung phones!Lasts for 2-3hrs talktime max.Features are good,navigation very fast,overall excellent value4money! But,has some prob with network(ok,with the same SIM compared to the Nokia,the X100 fights to save the call from disconnecting! where the network is weak) and call volume is very low. Else,this is a decent phone.

I am planning to buy this phone from Alfa stores (Vile Parle) Mumbai (India).. I inquired its price form Alfa and it is for Rs. 6300 Rs/. I am just concerned about three things...Ringtone Loudness - Strong Vibration and long battery life. I have shortlisted three phones now:
LG 3100 - Rs 5400
Sony Ericsson Z200 - Rs 7095
Samsung X100 - Rs 6300
Sony Ericsson T230 - Rs 6500
I hate Nokia phones as they r not value for money and with bad displays and pathetic ringtones.
I am stuck between Sony Ericsson Z200 and Samsung X100. SE is sexy looking with Infrared and longer battery life as i hv used SE T310 before and its batery was good like all sony phones..
can any 1 suggest which one should i go for?
