Samsung T100 Review

Overall Rating

This phone has all the things we want a mobile phone for. Camera's take photos and phones ring friends.

I cannot think of any really bad points.

I have owned almost every mobile brand available over the years, but this is by far my favourite phone. You have to challenge the strong urge to become a sheep and have a Nokia, granted this is a powerful force, but be strong and you will be rewarded with a great phone.
The T100 has lots of features and all of them are useful and easy to use and become familiar with.
I find sending a text message particularly easy and reading them is even better, clear and colourful screen that attracts admiring glances.
On that subject you might wish to take a peek around when answering the T100 at night, it does illuminate very well, and some admirers may not be friendly.
I am also a huge fan of the style of this phone; it has sexy contours and fits into your palm like a Kylie Minogue bum cheek.
The colour screen is vibrant and can be altered to suit your taste with the contrast feature.
The animated screensavers for the T100 are both widely available and numerous.
They are the most visually stunning of any phone I have compared them to and with Jordan or Caprice eagerly stripping whenever you open the phone, life is never boring with the T100.
The polyphonic ringtones are excellent and easily available on the internet, and many are free to download. I am using an old A-Ha favourite Take On Me, which is a naturally brilliant ringtone anyway, but is especially good when played on a T100 polyphonic range.
If you are a heavy user of texts and like to store and send the latest gags then the smallish storage facility may prove a problem, it has nowhere near the capacity of a Nokia 6210 but beats the 3330 hands down.
I find though that most text gags have a short shelf life and so it is a natural culling at the end of the day. The dual screen display is also a great feature, and being able to identify the caller by visual means before answering is a very handy tool.
This is especially useful when the wife is screaming to get hold of you at the pub, while she is incinerating your dinner at home.
So in closing the T100 is accused of being an "old" phone model after being around for just a year, which is technically a lifetime, but still, does the business in the kudos stakes.
