Samsung B100 is announced in 2005
Design
The B100 is an incredible looking handset, totally unique and, in our spot poll, a real object of lust for both sexes of all ages. Weighing in at 171 grams and measuring 124 x 49 x 25 mm, it's compact, while not featherweight. It's shorter and narrower than one would expect, and thicker, too, thanks to the unique design. The incredible 262,144 colors display is so bright and colorful, and provide more real colors of pictures and 3D images.The display resolution 320 x 240 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Samsung handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The B100 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Samsung handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Samsung B100 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, 64-channels polyphony, voice commands, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the B100 is also equipped with a 1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 70 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Samsung B100.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the B100, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the B100 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1360 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 280 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 204 minutes.
Availability
The Samsung B100 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Samsung B100 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Samsung design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
