Clam-shell design (if you like that kind of thing)
Looks Good
Robust (I dropped it a few times and it seems OK)
Battery Life
Poor Predictive text
Pitiful number of txt storage memory
Very Quiet ring tones
Poor build quality - disconnecting calls as the phone opens
The Samsung T100 is a good-looking mobile phone let down by the internal software in the phone.
The phone has most of the features I was looking for, or more accurately it was the lack of over hyped/overpriced features that attracted me. The phone makes while looking good has some serious flaws that let it down.
The phone can only store 10 txt messages!! You can fill that with just the delivery messages.
The predictive text is appalling. You can't add to the highly restrictive dictionary. Perhaps I'm more eloquent than the average 9 year old, but not to be able to add your own words
The volume is too quiet. Like to be able to hear a phone ringing and not rely on hearing the vibrate motor going off.
There are a whole host of features on the phone that just ooze lazy programming e.g the way that the menus are laid out and the way to update wallpaper and ring tones. Perhaps it's because I'm an engineer myself but it just bugs me.
I conclusion though I've held onto the phone for a year, I wont be getting a new Samsung when the time for the upgrade comes around
