General Comments

I was going to buy the new Samsung X600 but after reading the specification and comparing it with the Samsung X100 I realised the only real difference between the two was the camera. I don't really see the need for a camera on a mobile so went for the cheaper X100. It has a great colour screen and an easy to use menu system. The keys are well spaced for all but the sausage fingered and the phone is really light weight, (only 83 grms) so sits easily in your pocket. The 40 polyphonic ringtones are well past their sell by date and are not as good as the C100, but you can of course download new ones from the Samsungfun website. Wallpapers are also pretty poor with a choice of only 6! More downloads needed I think. For text maniacs there is good news too. The T9 predictive text system on this phone is nearly as good as the A800 and has the "learn" facility built in. Good news if your name is Yvonne! The phone has a 9Mb dynamic memory so storing up to 200 texts is possible. The internal aerial gives good reception and call quality is very good overall. Battery life is ok at around 4.5 days of average use and the WAP (2.0) system over GPRS was very fast. For gamers the phone is fully Java enabled and has two games to keep you amused. This is a good phone and will win many fans especially when you take its PAYG price into account. But, if its a huge features list your looking for in your next phone, you may find the X100 lacking! Try before you buy if poss.
