| furiousdawg's Full Review: Samsung SGH-S105 |
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 comes to cell phones. The phone must sell itself for everything it offers and it's slick design - that must be the reason for the lack of advertising.
The phone is very small in size. Using the extended battery, which is slightly larger in size than the other battery that it comes with (standard) it's still inceredibly small (when closed), which is always great. Even though the phone grows in size when the screen is flipped up, that is because of the large screen that it offers, in which I'll talk about later.
Since I'm on the subject of size, weight falls into that category. Again, using the extended battery, which weighs slightly more than the other - as above, it's super light to go along with it's super small size.
Battery Life. This is a subject which is very controversial, as some sites say one thing and others say another. Well, using the extended battery, on a full charge, it can last atleast 92 hours of being on as the manufacturer states. I've yet to use the standard battery so I can't tell you anything about that. But, it's not really need with the extended battery included as well.
Now, here comes the best part. The gigantic, large color-display/screen! It is definitely the best on the market. It's very large (larger than any other I've seen) and offers a whopping 56,000 colors rather than the 256 or 4,000 that other phones offer. Might I mention that every feature offered on the phone is in color, and you can also customize colors, backgrounds, menu-styles, etc. all in which reflect the excellent color this screen provides!
To go along with the huge color-screen is the outer screen that you can view while your phone is shut/closed. It is always very easy to see, with a huge display of the time and date as well as how much signal you have, battery life and if you've got the phone on vibration or not. Many people have reported that there is no light on this screen. THAT IS FALSE. If you hold the volume key, located on the side of the phone for just about one second, a bright blue light appears, making the screen even easier to read in dark areas.
Every feature on this phone is excellent! From the calendars to the games - it's all great! I can't forget to add that between the phone and your SIM card you could store up to 750 numbers in the phone book! And for all of you who are game players. It comes equipped with 3 games, in excellent color and sound, plus with the internet capabilities you've got loads of other games, ringtones and pictures you can download!
As for the reception - it's excellent! I've used T-Mobile for just over a year now, and with my previous Nokia 3390, there were some areas that I didn't get reception in which I now do with the SGH-S105! And with all the nice new reception I'm getting, I like to change my "service light" to the different colors that it offers. I couldn't believe I could make a little tiny light 8 or so different colors.
The only part that was somewhat dissapointing was that Samsung, for some reason has removed Voice Dialing. Why? Who knows. But that would've been an nice addition to this phone!
