| phantomx's Full Review: Samsung SGH-S105 |
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 LG.
So when I was looking for new phones, I had three choices
Motorla T720, Samsung S105, and Sony Ericson T300.
I read many articals on Motorla T720, and was not satified when told that its batterly life was very poor, and the color is only 4k. Also the Sony Ericson, I think it has 256 color.
The Samsung S105 had 65k color, and 40 poly sound, and came with two battery!!
So I went out and got myself the Samsung S105. Battery Life so far, I think its the best out there. and If you need more it comes with extra battery.
The screen on the outside of the phone is huge. It is really easy to read the time, and look at caller ID. If you have caller group, it shows the group pics on the
screen on the outside. I am not sure if there is a way, but
so far as I know there is no way to designate new pics to the caller group...sad but it does comes with neat graphics. Some people wrote on some sites there is no back light for outside screen, but THERE IS! you just need to
press the button on the side for like a second.
Graphic is awesome. It allows animated wallpaper. Currently I have cartoon rabbit( aka Mashimaro ) having problem with toilet on the wallpaper, and it cracks me up
everytime I open up the phone. I tried downloading pic of my car in to the phone to check out how it looks on the phone. the picture looks amazing.
Menus are easy to go through. I was able to learn the functions of the phone within hour with no help from manual. Since the screen itself is pretty big, the menus are also big and easy to read. Do I have problem reading small letters? no..but I like it so that I can read with no squinting or trying to find out what it said.. Also so far no lags in going through menus
Phone books are simple and has very cute graphics. As simple the phone books are, searching and calling is so easy.
The Keys do not have space so its kinda hard to find out what key is what with out looking. But after 2-3 days of using I got used to it, and have no problem there.
Sounds... Amazing..40 poly sound .. and you can make the sound pretty loud too!!! I love how when I get a phone I get a pleasent music that does not hurt my ears...and when I get text messege I get some dingdong chime, and it is so nice.
Weight.. Well I guess you can find specs from websites, but it is very very light. One of the most light phones I have used.
I dropped couple times and no problem there...
The phone has very good receptions, ofcourse this has to do with your location, but I get receptions where I wasn';t able to go beforE!!!!
Hope this have helped
