            at Rs. 5300 u'll get:

            2.2 inch screen + 1 crore 60 lakh colours(16M) + 320*240 video recording resolution + excellent 2mp camera(the best in the class) + QVGA video recording + awesome music player(loud n crystal clear) + premuim brushed mettalic body

            u cant find these fetures in any other phone at its price or even if u pay rs2000 or 2500 more....(check urself)

            take a look at the camcorder of s3500:
            cam records video in mp4 format by default
            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrT_wrhAhbU

            apart form its awesome specs.....
            other great features of s3500 are:

            Multiple Alarm: There are five alarm slots available on the Samsung S3500 and additional ones can be created if needed. Each of them can have its own snooze time, number of repetitions and activation days. The volume can also be different for each alarm. Furthermore, you can set different tones for each of the alarms and you can choose whether it should trigger phone vibration.

            Calendars - Calendar Function is awesome in this phone. It have all Indian Holidays marked. If there is a public holiday (date) it will show a icon below and when u click button, it will show you which holiday it is.

            "theme creator"
            through theme creator u can create n customize ur own theme according to ur choice of colours n ur choice of pics... its really a awesome feature for those who loves customization.... (to knw more bout it pls read earlier comments)

            PRIVACY LOCK: Locking function is also very good where you can lock ur Messages, call log, phonebook, ur files (pics, videos, games etc), calender, memo, task etc...watever u want. really a unique function...

            BLOCK Calls n Sms's: u can block calls as well as sms.

            "Flight mode"

            "USB charging"

            "bluetooth security"
            when u connect other phones through bluetooth it ask for a passcode....it really enhance ur phone secutity bcoz of this ur phone can not be hack through any hacking tool.

            another awesome feature is when you connect through Bluetooth to any other device you can take a control of that phone as all files and folders of other connected phone are displayed on S3500. You can take whichever files you want without bothering other person.

            "Fm recording" n the best part is the audio quality of recorded clip is shockingly loud n crystal clear n can save unlimited no. of stations.

            "call recording"
            crystal clear call recording n the other person on call will not hear any annoying beep.

            "Fake Call function" this feature enables you to activate a bogus incoming call, so you can free yourself from awkward conversations or dodgy situations by pretending to take a call. For added authenticity, you can record your own or ur friends fake voice "call" that plays back when you answer.

            "Menu transition effect"
            if u seen latest aamir khan's samsung ad then u wud probably knw wat i m talking bout...wenever u press a button the screen slides from right to left....it looka awesome...u can also change ur transition effect.

            "MOBILE TRACKER 2.0"
            Mobile tracker automatically sends an SMS message to a pre-designated number alerting you when your phone’s SIM card is changed, increasing your chances of recovering a lost or stolen mobile phone.

            "SOS FUNCTION"
            in an emergency jus press either end of the volume key 4 times when the phone is closed. this will send the SOS message to ur selected recipients. if they call u back their call will be automatically connected. its definately a life saving feature.

            "Message alert repetition": it will alert u in evry 2 min if there is an unread mes on ur phone....u can put it off too.

            "keypad lights" automatically set according to day night usage or according to ur custom usage dont have to on or off it manually.

            have all the features which only a music phone possess....n music player is shockingly loud n clear.

            "Random Wallpaper Effect"
            very intresting feature...wenever u use ur mobile n came back to standby....it will welcome u with diffrent wallpapers of ur choice each time.(to know more read earlier reviews)

            "BLUETOOTH MESSAGING"
            (chat/sms through bluetooth FREE OF COST)
            1st of all its free secondly its in chat form u can see the history n third u dont have to wait for send or receive as it does chatting instantly....


            "smart dialling"

            "SMS ZOOM Function"

            cam cover: cam is not at the back of fone....it is inbetween the slide so slide act as a cam cover...protect lens from scratches, dust n all.

            can change DEFAULT MEMORY setting: u can change default memory settings of bluetooth, wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
            for ex: now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.

            Awesome file management:
            The functionality of the file browser is one of the best among non-smartphones. You can copy or move files - both one by one or in bulk, and you can create and delete new folders (save for the basic ones). Files can also be sent via Bluetooth one by one or multiple at once. Throughout the whole file manager, you can pick files you would like to lock to prevent accidental deletion. The whole file navigation thingy is really quick with no lags whatsoever.

            apart from these there are a lot more features like "AUTO REPLY" , "night mode"....the list is endless.....we r still exploring.....

            s3500 is a "ALLROUNDER" phone
            cheers :)

            bro jus compare urself u cant find any phone having even half of these features in the same price range...
            do i need to say more i think the specs n features say it all.....

              Anonymous, 08 Oct 2009I am planning to buy the samsung s3500. Yes i agree that it... moremy dear friend if u hav jus read some earlier comments u'll get to knw that in s3500 u certainly can change DEFAULT MEMORY setting: and not only for bluetooth u can change default memory settings for wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
              now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.

              theres a lot diffrence between s3500 n s3100
              im jus copy pastin earlier comment:

              "....bro s3500 is much better than s3310
              first of all s3310 is jus another bar phone whereas s3500 is a premium brushed mettalic slide phone so its more stylish n goodlookin.
              secondly s3500 screen is bigger than s3310
              thirdly n the biggest diffrence in s3310 is u cant install games or 3rd party software through usb but u can install games n 3rd party softwares in s3500 with usb cable through ur pc so u dont need WAP for this.
              and last but not the least u cant transfer ur pics, songs or ur stuff directly to mem card in s3310 whereas in s3500 u can change default memory settings of bluetooth, wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
              for ex: now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.
              s3500 rockz man.....

              no other phone at its price have specs n features like s3500.
              hope it help

                I am planning to buy the samsung s3500. Yes i agree that it is the best buy in this price range. But the recently launched samsung s3310 which is very similar to the 3500 has a problem with bluetooth transfer it seems. files transfered through bluetooth end up in the phone memory. I was wondering if the 3500 has the same problem as it was launched alongside the 3310. Imagine the trouble one would have transferring 10 songs through bluetooth.

                3500 users please reply quickly as I have to buy a phone soon. Also suggest if there is a SE alternative.

                            copy pastin earlier comment hint to increase battery life:

                            "-good thing is u got usb charging feature so jus connect it to ur PC while u r working n charge it....

                            - other things u can do to increase its bettery life are:

                            -jus decrease the brightness of the phone
                            -dont use the keypad light in day
                            this is a very good feature...n u dont have to keep ur keypad lights on n off everyday... u can jus set a time like from 5pm to 9am n it will off n on ur lights at the preset time everyday....try it.
                            -use melody instead of vibration + melody
                            -keep the keypad tone off etc
                            explore it u'll find lot more tips too
                            this will help u in increasing ur bettery backup..."
