Review of the S100 (in english)

Bigblue007 ->

I have some questions about the S100. I hope you will and can answer them....

1. How is the reception of the phone. I mean the signal from the antenna?

2. How is the quality of the sound in the phone when you´re talking?

3. What about standby and talking time?

4. Is it possible to download polyphonic ringtones to your pc and then transfer them to the phone via the cable or IR. Or is it only possible to get new ringtones via WAP?

5. When you write and SMS, how many lines of text can be seen in the display?

Hope you can answer my questions

Thanks in advance

I would recommend S.E.M.E.C.... Their service is much much better than the service at Meisl. But Meisls price on the S100 is about 10 EURO cheaper.. I have ordered my S100 from S.E.M.E.C. They should get their first shipment today or tomorrow...

BTW, where are you from Per12?

I think you´ll get 24 months of guarantee, but I am not sure. Ask S.E.M.E.C...
There are some service points who repair Samsung phones. And I think also that there are those kinds of servicepoints in Norway. So you don´t have to send it back to Germany to get the phone fixed if its broken.

But in the near future Samsung will probably make it possible to download new softwareversions to your pc and then you can transfer the sw to the phone... Very smart I think.

From Taiwan comes an interesting mobile telephone, which can visualize 4,096 colors as the first of its class and in the GSM nets 900, 1,800 and 1,900 MHz runs.

With the factory-installed supplied battery (720 mAh lithium ions) it holds between 100 and 150 hours in the StandBy or up to two and a half hours in discussions. Four plays, to the pastime, were integrated likewise. For the time being the model is only offered in the color silver.

In the GSM net the data with a speed of 9,6 Kbps are conveyed. In the InterNet one surft by WAP Microbrowser of the version 1.1. Also one can use the Messaging service standard EMS (SMS with clay/tone and Picture ) with the Q285. The Cover is exchangeable. In the listing contacts place find up to 255. One can assign Biz to 50 callers a Picture (20 is integrated already, further 30 can one personalized).

The reason in the pricedifference between the S100 and Q285 could be the lack of GPRS, JAVA, IR, only modem of 9,6 kbs., WAP 1.1 (S100 has 1.2) and of course you´ve probably also pay a little more for the brand Samsung than you will do for the TCC....
