| asktd's Full Review: Samsung SGH-S105 |
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 files with just synthesized music, no words. You can have a background display picture, some of which are animated, or move. It displays the time and date. You can set up a welcome note for when you turn the phone on. It has a phone book which you can store up to 500 numbers on. This phone also features a SIM card (Subscriber Identification Module). A sim card allows you to save your phone numbers and other settings to the card instead of the phone, so when you purchase a new phone with a SIM card, all you have to do is put your card in the new phone and all of your settings are in the new phone. This saves you the time and aggravation of typing in all your phone numbers again. Also to save you time this phone features a smart typing system which makes typing a lot easier. Instead of pressing the 4 button three times to get the letter "I" you can just type the words as if you were using a keyboard and it automatically changes the text to what it thinks you are trying to type.
The phone has some other features such as the "funbox" which has games and things you have downloaded. Also you can access the Internet to download new tones and backgrounds which you can store to either your phone or SIM card.
The phone comes standard with 2 lithium batteries, each capable of 6 hours of standby time and 3 hours of talk time. It comes with the hands free device, a European outlet adapter, a wall charger, a wrist strap, a swivel belt clip, The SIM card, user guide, accessory guide and a guide to help you access the web.
The lowest Price I have seen this phone for is $99.99 after mail in rebates. I paid $249.99 at a wireless provider store, after rebates.
I have read a couple of reviews that say this phone is not good because it does not light up so you can see the time without opening the phone, however this is false. You can make the outer screen light up by holding the volume button for a few seconds. However the few flaws that I have found with this phone are that it does not have voice activated calling (You say the persons name you programmed in and it calls them instead of having to use the phone book.) Also when the phones volume is up to its maximum, sometimes the sound gets scratchy or echoes making it hard to hear. Other than that, this phone is top of the line.....for now.
