Pros: Color screen, size, decent battery power.
Cons: Keys almost indistinguishable by touch.

Samsung and T-Mobil have hit a homerun with the SGH-S105 mobile phone. As part of the new wave of color cell phones, the S105 distinguishes itself by having a huge color screen with decent battery life and solid build quality. And best of all, I got my...

Pros: Huge Color Display, Big Outer Screen, Design, Weight, Battery Life, Features
Cons: No Voice Dialing

I just recently aquired a cell phone in which I would change forever the way I think about cellular phones. It was the Samsung SGH-S105.

Something that I've rarely seen advertised was simply the best product I've ever encountered, when it...

Pros: Color Screen, GPRS (high speed wireless), World Phone
Cons: Special Hands Free Device

Welcome to another installment of boy I have to many phones. The Samsung S105 is one of the smartest phones to hit the GSM Network in quite sometime. Here is a rundown and rating on this monster.

Battery Life
With two batteries (from...

Pros: Stylish design and compact.
Cons: Read my review, but the keypad is a big con for me.

I'm going to start off explaining to you why I bought this phone. When I decided to get myself a new phone I had the following criteria that the phone needed to fulfill.

1. It has to be a flip phone.
2. It has to be aesthetically...

Pros: Small, light weight, easy to use, full color screen.
Cons: No voice activated calling, some sound problems, slow at times.

This is an excellent flip phone, it's small and light in weight. The s105 has many features including a full color screen, text messaging capability, voice mail, call records, sounds, unique ring tones that sound like MIDI files. MIDI files are music...

Pros: great color, great sound
Cons: ringer, no blue tooth, internet

So I dropped the AT& and just left myself with a T... TMobile, that is.

So far, I have enjoyed my service with T. No complaints. This new phone is a really nice phone. Best sound quality I have had on any of my phones. When I am in the...

Pros: Nice looking phone, many features, excellent color display
Cons: no voice recognition, some dim spots on keypad, screen on outside keeps going out!

Here's the spec rundown: Slim, stylish and in full color. You can personalize your phone with screensavers and ringtones that sound like real music. Using T-Zone you can access your e-mail accounts, send and receive AOL Instant Messages, look up movie ...

Pros: Lightweight, cool blue back light, slim, infrared, big screen
Cons: Not very durable (plastic casing), Ear piece volume, not many accessories

I've had my phone for about two months now. I got it for free through an Amazon/T-mobile deal. I use to own two Nokia phones. Those phones were great cause they were tanks, but they didn't have as many cool features as the S105.

I've dropped...

Pros: External caller ID/Time, Color, Flip
Cons: VERY FRAGILE, doesnt last, Review based on 7 phones over 2 years, please read.

Alright, First off, this review is not based on my phone alone or a couple months of use like many of the reviews. I owned my phone for almost 2 years and know another 7 people who have or had this phone. I wrote my first review of this phone in a ...

Pros: Great sound, comfy keys & fit, can download graphics and tones, easy use, external display.
Cons: No voice dial or memo, no call grouping, phonebook will not hold addresses

As phones go, the s105 is a great phone. It really is - just not if you're used to the many features most Nokia phones have.

All I've had were Nokias (5160 & 6360), which I have loved not only for their ease of use, but also because they...

Pros: overall design, options, color
Cons: no voice dialing, poor screen, buttons

The Case (buttons, phone and button layout)
I like how the case opens up. It's not nearly flat like the Motorola V60 and I like that. The phone has a satisfying flip action which isn't hard to open and not too easy to close, dare i say...

Pros: great colored screen, stylish, and compact
Cons: low battery life, low memory, and does not sync to outlook

The Samsung S-105 is a great package at a reasonable price. I purchased this phone about 4 months ago and I have had virtually no problems with it. Though I paid about $200 for it, it can be bought for the low low price of $25 on Amazon or even free if...

Pros: Beautiful screen, smooth flip top, small and comfortable, great sounds
Cons: Phonebook/Caller ID, I don't know if its worth the extra cost for the color

I was pumped when all of these color phones started coming out. I wanted to get one so bad, and thi ...

Pros: Color screen, numerical clarity, size
Cons: Vibrating alarm not being loud enough (but that's all i can complain about)

I decided to purchase this phone a few months back b/c of friend's advice, and boy am I glad I did! I saw this phone at Amazon.com for $279 before $200 MIR, and had a $75 GC from Amazon, and thus got the phone for $4 AR (even $79 dollars seems like a ver ...

Pros: Color, sound, batterly life, and clarity
Cons: no personal caller id pic

First of all I have used cell phones for past 4 years.
First I had Motorola Timeport with Sprint, then Samsung( forgot the id number) then Nokia 8290 with Cingular, then
LG 510 with Verizon.

Till now my favorites were Samsung and...

Pros: good quality, compact, easy to use, features
Cons: screen sometimes hard to see in sunlight

Specifications: Network: GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 Dimensions: 88 x 46 x 23 mm Weight: 92 g Design: Clamshell Antenna: Stub Screen Colors: 65000 Screen Size: 128 x 160 px Navigation: 4-Way Keypad Phonebook Capacity: 500 Speed Dial: 8 ...

Pros: Excellent phone, sleek, full-color, tri-band
Cons: Expensive, no voice-dial

This phone is an excellent phone, in fact, one of the best I have ever seen. The only drawback that I found is the price, but if you're willing to shell out $249.99, then this is the best for your money. This phone is relatively light, full-color,...

Pros: Beautiful Screen, easy to use, packed with features.
Cons: Somewhat expensive.

This is really a great phone, with almost no downsides. The screen is beautiful, and the polyphonic ring tones put an end to tacky cell phone jingles. It doesn't have a camera, but I can't imagine many people would actually use it if it did. The...

Pros: Beautiful phone. Beautiful screen.
Cons: Minimal features. Usability flaws.

I just "upgraded" to the S105 from the Sony Ericsson T68m. The screen on the S105 is far superior! I like the clamshell form factor much better, and the sound quality is much better. Unfortunately, Samsung really skimped on the extra features.
...

Pros: Outstanding display, Great voice quality, Many Features
Cons: No Voice Dialing, Cannot play "true" polyphonic ringtones, only 8 tones simultaneously

I bought this phone as a replacement to my ancient Nokia 6190, and am completely happy. I can do more than I ever wanted to with the web-browser, and I love the external display - easy to see with clean graphics. The screen is fantastic, and it looks...

Pros: Downloads & Design!
Cons: Dim Screen in light & no Voice Command

I purchased this phone a few months ago because I was already in the ice age with my T-Mobile Motorola V66. It was quite a change for me since I never really had the need for the "Organizer" & "Game" options. Let me just tell you that I was astounded ...

Pros: color screen, options, sounds, comfort, hands free set
Cons: cant lite the front screen in the dark. indistinguishable buttons.

Love this phone. The color LCD with 65000 colors is total eye candy! The sound and reception is clear and colorful. The games are great, and so are all the other options available. I don’t really have any complaints about this phone. Granted, I've...

Pros: Fun, cool, big screen, intuitive/easy to use
Cons: Low sound volume, limited headphone options, useless in the sunshine

WHY I BOUGHT IT The large color screen is so beautiful. It is very easy to figure out, in fact I b ...

Pros: large letter display
Cons: has a software glitch in storing numbers

I already owned an earlier model of the S105 Samsung phone before I purchased this one. I expected ...

Pros: Battery life excellent, Colorful and Attractive, Easy to use Interface
Cons: Is there any? --- Read what I have to say

There are so many pros to this Cell phone then cons. I could give you a lot more reasons why this phone should be used -- above all other cell phones. I could not point out any faults to this cell phone besides its mediocre games and entertainment, but...

Pros: Color menus, stylish style, size
Cons: Hard to hear another call coming in if you are already on a call.

This is my first color phone and will definitely not be my last. I have enjoyed this phone's features tremendously but hearing the person on the other end is a chore. Sometimes it may seem that the person is not talking loud enough or the ear piece is...

Pros: Menus are easy to use and looks really nice
Cons: Hard to hear ringer. Cant hear person on the other line.

The phone looks really nice, and the battery seems to be holding up really well. However, you can barely hear the ringtones when the phone is closed. This probably because the speaker is being covered up, and their is no holes for the sound to come out...

Pros: lightweight, bright LCD, many features, excellent clarity
Cons: battery life, not as durable as most cell phones

Nice sleek and compact design, lightweight. Overall great appearance. Easy to read outside LCD screen. One of the nicest looking flips out there.

Pros: Looks good Color LCD Package includes 2 battery and headset
Cons: Battery life on slim battery Size Reception

I've had this phone for little over a year now and I'm seriously thinking of changing it.

My particular phone seems to have a firmware problem since it sometimes fails to shut the lights when I close it and thus if I don't see this it will drain my battery in a matter of hours! Samsung support has been terrible at best.

Reception is marginal at best compared to Nokia 6310i and on par with most of the Sony Ericsson phones.

Battery life with normal (big) battery is OK and with the slim battery terrible.

The color LCD is better than a lot of other phones but I've seen better.

Pros: Phone was of average quality.
Cons: Rebate program is a FRAUD!!!

I mailed in my rebates totaling $150 for my 2 phones the same month of purchase. After a couple of months I called and was told that they never received my forms. I printed out new forms and mailed them in again, about month later I called them and they said that they had changed P.O. numbers, so I mailed it to the new P.O. number, about 30 days later I called and they said that the P.O. I was given last time was invalid so, I mailed it once again. This time I only waited a couple of weeks before I called, once again, they had not received my information. I spoke to a supervisor and got a fax number and faxed the forms and received a confirmation. When I called a couple of weeks later I was told that my offer had expired!!! As far as I am concerned, the Samsung rebate program is a fraud!

Pros: Small size, flip cover, comes with a second battery and other accessories.
Cons: Screen hard to read in bright light, ringer and speaker volume not very loud.

This is my 7th cell phone and I must say it has been the best performing phone I have ever owned. The phones long battery life, small footprint and color screen will be hard to match with other phones. Navigating the phones menus is fairly easy. I have also dropped the phone multiple times with only minor cosmetic damages.

The phone is lacking in some ways that may affect some users. The color screen is hard to read in direct sunlight. Both the ringer and speaker volume is very low and hard to hear in a busy room.

I have previously owned multiple Nokia phones and a few Motorola phones and would still pick this phone over any other.

I purchased the phone from amazon.com for $200 with a $150 rebate. The total cost after the rebate with shipping was around $65

Pros: Games, screen, tones, looks
Cons: unstable software.

Based on the second generation S platform

Great:
->JAVA games!!! yeah but very difficult to download from pc. easier to download from the GSM networks but it means having to pay a hefty $$ for that.

->40 polyphonics!! another wow factor that makes better ringing tone. closer to the actual instrument.

->Stylish look. very nice design, perfect for ladies.



Cons:
->unstable software. jammed once and lost all the phonebook, sms, tones, games etc.
->not so intuitive text messaging, compared to nokias

Pros: pocket sized.
Cons: bad reception Volume sucks,battery dies quick

I bought this phone in April 2004 since then I have returned this phone 2 times. The 1st time because I was having bad reception the 2nd time because the LCD went out and I couldn't see the menu. I asked them if I could get my money back or if they could just send me a different type of phone and they tell me 3 strikes and then they would send me something else. I am going to call them again tomorrow because I can't even have a conversation with anyone on this phone, without being hung up on or not able to hear them completely. I hate this phone its nothing but trouble.

Pros: Small, bright color
Cons: Low battery life, Ease of use, shortcuts

It is small and looks nice. Reception is horrible and needs to be hard-shocked from time to time. Battery life is almost as bad as most Motorola phones.

The phone lacks games and most other things that other phones offer now.

Pros: The screen is fine.
Cons: If you can't get consistent sound on a mobile phone, what's the use!!!???

This is the worst mobile phone I have had the misfortune to buy and use. During the 6 months that I have been using this phone, I have needed to get T-Mobile to replace it 3 times (yes, I am on the 4th phone in 6 months). Basically, the headseat jack stops working after a couple of weeks of use, and the sound from the phonepiece cuts in and out so badly that it is impossible to have a conversation on the phone.

T-Mobile continues to refuse to provide any other model phone, so the service/warranty does no good. They send out a refurbished phone each time -- and the refurbishing clearly is not working!

Horrible phone and horrible service provider (T-Mobile).
