My B2100 Samsung Cellphones has been subjected to swimming pool submersion for several minutes up to 1.5 meter depth. Though it is as tough yet its Bluetooth has problem to communicate with other Cellphones, however when music transfer is conducted to our Lenovo laptop the connection seems working but not as fast as others. It is a no thrill gadget as it has limited capability as compare to other phones.

It comes to its own element when playing MP3 with its brilliant and outstanding sound. I have inserted 1 Gb memory card and it sufficiently swallows plenty of my favourite MP3 songs. Unlike similar featuring model of Nokia with slightly dearer price; text messaging on Samsung takes time to get used to, especially inserting symbol that requires many more steps.

Samsung Cellphones like any other Cell phones today offers excellent alternative as an affordable yet good quality Mp3player apart of being reliable mobile communication device.

B2100 feels solid as the evidence of strong encasing that is also fully encapsulated by rubbery material to ensure it is watertight main feature. At the back, the battery compartment has a special tightening screw; it is so tight that prying open the lid requires extra attention. There is a great engineering detail covering any possible openings such as microphone, speaker and charging port which also serves as earphone port.

Both microphone and speakers are completely sealed off by a thin layer of membrane, interestingly as the phone is fully submerged, only the rear speaker functions. Apart of its well known Samsung traits of brilliant color screen, the urethane pad has very nice touch feeling.

Punching a series of phone numbers manually gives a sort of addiction solid touch feeling, rendering the automatic dialing or invoking memorized contact numbers, not as entertaining. Furthermore large displayed numbers are shown in large, crisp and clear fashion on the screen if the setting is switched to its largest font available.

Other Features

Although not supported abundant features, but there are enough additional benefit of this mobile phone users. Among other things, noise cancellation, a flashlight, mobile tracker, Java language features and image editors.

One annoying characteristic is that I haven’t figured out why it gets hang and error when the sent message reaches its max limit at merely 40 text messages. I am certain it is just a matter of proper setting.

At less than US$ 140 at this equatorial belt of hemisphere, this gadget is completely sold out.
