    i bought it a week ago and am sorry to say that i cant access missed calls in a push of a button!!!cant set the menu order accord to my convenience like in Motorola set.Samsung should have given left and right scroll buttons also-there should have been at least 4 shortcuts to install as i please-the FM radio is the only brilliant part with excellent reception!!!!caller voice reception is excellent too!!

      Here's one on eBay, but I'm not sure if it will really work.

            The vibration is not that strong though the ringtone volume is good enough to wake your neighbors. :p

                            - No games on this phone.
                            - Neither can you download them via WAP Browser. Only thing WAP Browser can download is images and sounds.
                            - It is actually possible to record a phone conservation by selecting Options during a call, then going through the menu to the Voice Recorder.
                            - Voice Recorder can only hold 5 records.
                            - It is also possible to have one of the preset sounds/pictures play/pop-up during a call/message from a person/caller-group by adding a person/people to the caller group, then editing the call group settings.
                            - Slow animated pictures can be escaped by pressing either the Green, Red, or C Button.
                            - The '0' button also works as a space in Standard Abc Input Mode.
                            - Peace.

                                Hi, somebody write here that this phone is not good. Very hard pressing buttons, etc. etc. etc. But, in my case, I have no problem at all. Although I have a nokia 6681, I am using c170 too. It is a good phone. Slim body is very nice looking. No camera. But main fact is the price. Here in Bangladesh Samsung C170 cost is only 4,200taka or 60dollers! Is not cool? So if u want to buy then go buy it.

                                  Without any uncertainty,
                                  It’s an enormous slim mobile phone ever made in the world,
                                  Low price, super performance, fm radio, remarkable stylish cellphone.
                                  What would u do with the camera, it’s damn useless.
                                  So if u r thinking and searching for buying a mobile phone set, just go to the shop and close your eyes and pick the phone up.
                                  But u know I don’t have the phone. But I suggest you to buy it. Really great phone..

                                    In my humble opinion, Dear Visitors, it's not at all fair to point a finger at GSMArena team for wrong data. Why?

                                    All models -- from all manufacturers -- are not equally released in all the countries and are neither equally distributed. The variations in colors, sizes of memory cards in sales packages, battery specs, release dates, price tags are spread over a very broad spectrum. And for GSMArena it's literally impossible to provide us with so much of region specific accurate data. So please be considerate about tiny variations.

                                    Personally I think we should be very thankful for having the company released official data here and quit nagging about minor mismatches.

                                    BTW: FYI: In India C170 is available in 3 color schemes. Silver-Black, Red-Black, Strong-Black.

                                      adding to the mistakes in all this data... this phone not only weighs abt 9 grams less, it's also available in black

                                        Fact 1 : Viewers always end up staring at this phone rather than all other tech-savvy gadgets that cost 10 times more than this.

                                        Fact 2 : Whether you love it or hate it at the first touch and/or sight, you'll always end up loving the C170 -- 2nd 200th touch and/or sight.

                                        Period.
