I am in Indonesia and my personal opinion is : best signal, life batt is normal (2 day more) with 14 hours ON, key phone is OK, great color & sound, lightweigt. POOR things are : no cable sync data with PC, can't sync phonebook with Outlook, can't send phonenumbers with IR,annoying T-9 features, NO MMS. Yeah this is a cheap phone but this phone's menu is better than N6610 really !
Suggest : If u want to buy a low budget 65K color phone & poly sound, u got to buy it !

Bad phone - bad price. only 25 x 25 mm display. That sucks!
Buy Siemens M55 with Camera, MMS, Build-in handsfree,... for only € 100 more.

This is one fone I wont be buying soon. I'm still asking myself whats the use of a 65k screen with no MMS, or IR... please someone explain. In South Africa a better phone, SE T300, is much cheaper( $100)... This one however with fewer features( but more polyphonic tones) is more expensive($189). Samsung cant pull the wool over our eyes, I doubt this piece of shite will ship major units in South Africa.Thats my opinion:-)

a bad phone at all! anyone can tell me why the menu "name" is sooooooooooo sloooooooooow at the first activation (just after we turn the phone on!)remember that the battery life depends on the Service provider, and in Vietnam here, all the providers are f^cking shiiitts!!! try it, the battery life in Vietnam here only runs for maximum 2 days!!!

Got a C100 (unlocked) for £99 including a Virgin Sim a couple of Days ago. Battery showed full charge on start up, but I gave it an 8 hour charge anyway.
Used during the daytime for 2 days so far, experimenting with the settings, ringtones, wallpapers Texting etc and a few short call - no problems and battery still showing full.
Ringtones are very good, Phone menus are well set out and there semm to be a lot of settings that can be changed - study the manual!!.
Recepition no better or worse than Nokia 8210 or 3410 on O2 network (1 or 2 bars) at home. A nice touch is the service LED on top left of phone, this flashes when a sigal is available and also along with the ringtones in various colours. Phone is very well made put together and looks very nice, keys are good. Screen is nice and clear if a touch small - only real criticism is it is difficult to see in full sunlight - maybe adjust brightness and try again? Also no voice dialling.
To sum up - a very good phone with a lot of features for a very reasonable price. 8/10

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?)

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?
