Rating: Summary: Good little phone. Review: This is my 3rd Samsung GSM phone purchase. I originally bought the R225, then the S105, now the E105. I think Samsung makes a quality phone overall. However, they do some things that aggravate me. The holster that comes with the phone does NOT allow you to make or receive calls or txtmsgs while its in the holster! You simply can't open the cover at all while its in the holster. Therefore, you also can't turn it on or off. Also, the headphone jack is not a standard 2.5mm jack - the jack is standard - in fact, it looks identicle to a regular jack - but if you plug a "universal" headset in there, it will redial the last number you called - this is because Samsung requires a "special" 2.5mm plug for this phone - that means you either have to go back to Samsung for one of these headsets or you have to buy a particular one made for this phone. Other than that, its a great phone. Battery life is good... I can even read the display in the sunshine (which is a nice improvement from the S105).
Rating: Summary: Great sleek phone Review: This is one of the smallest flip phones on the market right now, that's what really caught my eye. I had a Motorola T722i which I was getting very sick of. Most of the Java games that ran on it were extremely slow, because the phone was slow in general. It had major lag moving through menus. The other problems I had with the T722i were a plastic casing that was very flimsy, and not loud enough ringtones.The E105 has extremely solid construction and it is metal, not plastic, phew! It still manages to be far lighter than the T722i. The ringtones on this phone are loud and plentiful. Plus the games on it are awesome and so are the ones that you can download from the web. Only complaints: Like someone else mentioned... Poor charge time. I charge every 1.5-2 days. It doesn't take that long so I'm not gonna whine about that much. Other thing is that would have been nice if they had a camera on this because the color display is so vibrant, but I doubt they could have managed it in a phone of this size. And the last thing... my T722i's screen was perfectly visible in sunlight, this screen can't be seen if you are directly under the sun very well. All in all a great phone and well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Very Good phone some small deficits Review: I've had this phone for 2 weeks now. I upgraded from Motorola V60 and I have to say that this phone is far superior. The reception quality is quite good and so far sound quality is good also. There are some great features to the phone such as the huge 64000 color display and polyphonic ringtones. It is small, (smaller then the v60) very light and sleek. The battery life however is mediocre. I usually have to recharge after about 2-3 days especially when writing text messages since the display is a power hog. The phone sometimes seems to be slow while going into menus from the main screen and there are no sound profiles other than the main one and silent mode. If you don't use predictive text writing then writing can a bit clumsy because of having to constantly switch from predictive mode which can not be disabled as the default. So far the phone is one of the best I have yet used and I highly recommend it. If the size, style and display quality are not that important to you then I would instead recommend the Nokia 6610. For me however, this phone is great!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Great Phone! Review: This phone is definitely worth the money. It has everything you could want, and it is so simple. i have had no problems with the phone. the phone's calendar, AIM, GREAT GAMES!!, and the overall easiness to figure out, makes this phone the best phone t-mobile has. the service is great in NJ! almost 6 bars everywhere i go. The predictive text is PERFECT for AIM Instant Messages, and great for text messages, it also lets u add words that aren't in the phones dictionary with easy. Samsung has definitely created a great phone.
Rating: Summary: Samsung SGH-e105 Review: I purchased the Samsung SGH-e105 to replace my old Nokia 3390. At first I was hesitant to purchase it, because it was not a Nokia, but this phone is much better than my Nokia and it is much smaller. The color screen can display 65000 colors. Most color screen phones can only display 256 or 4056 colors. The menu is easy to understand and everything is pretty straight forward. It also has AIM built into it, like the Nokia 3390. Other features include Polyphonic ringtones (which sound like real music), a huge screen, and an orgnaizer. If you are looking for a good color screen flip phone, then the Samsung SGH-e105 should be your choice.
Rating: Summary: Very pleased overall Review: I have tried quite a few cell phones out and I must admit this has been my best to date (muchhhhhh better than nokia, motorola, and sony ericson). The reception is excellent, external caller id is nice, display looks sharp, and the sound quality is superb. I have been very pleased with t mobile overall. yes, verizon has better coverage but costs about 25% more. not worth it. plus, their phones are much more expensive and uglier. anyway, here are my caveats about this phone: the ring tones leave much to be desired (whatever happened to normal phone rings---not everyone likes to hear a stupid song when the phone rings). the antennae is not flexible..kinda annoying when it is in your pocket. i am always worried it will break. display is impossible to see in sunlight. the wap browser is super slow. t mobile needs to invest in the data transfer department. also, they charge you for incoming text messages. only 5 cents but still, should be free. i dont recommend the t zones, for the amount of time it takes to connect you could boot up a computer with internet access. i wish it had speaker phone capabilites, this is a big drawback for me. anyway, overall like i said, this phone is one of the top ranking phones out there. their customer service has been awesome so far. if you live out in the boonies, you may not get that great of coverage (try verizon) but if you live in the city you should be golden. for the price, you will not be dissapointed.
Rating: Summary: Very unique! Review: Very small and unique phone. Big text and awsome poly ringtone. Nice color screen. One thing I do found this phone not so good is when you turn the volume all the way up and the sound starting cracking.
Rating: Summary: Poor Poor Screen quality Review: I had a S105 before this which was more substantial and also a tri-band (this is a dual band). This seems to have cheaper construction overall. Tinier buttons than the S105 AND A MUCH POORER Color screen. Impossible to read in daylight. Has "hidden" feature not in the book. If you bump the volume while it is ringing, it will send the call to voicemail. There is no way to shut this feature off. Sound quality is decent but give me back my S105!!!!(I had to trade it in for this thing).
Rating: Summary: SAMSUNG-A650 FITS FINE Review: THIS IS ABOUT THE NICET PHONE I HAVE SEEN! ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY WERE GIVING THEM AWAY AT VERIZON. IT SHOULD SERVE MY NEEDS FOR YEARS TO COME. DAVE
Rating: Summary: Really good phone. Lasts & lasts, even with me...... Review: Ok, I'm horrible on all things electronic. One of those people who anything electronic can't get to work, but once in a great while. The great while finally showed up when this phone came around.
I bought this phone over a year ago and it's still going strong. I've dropped it tons of times and the buttons still work great, the case is still in good condition with a few scratches, but all wear and tear. I had to replace the front faceplate because I broke it by slamming my hip into a counter top with the phone face out in my pocket, but it didn't hurt the LCD screen or the LCD caller ID screen on the front of the phone. C'est la vie.
The battery on this lasts for hours, I've gone a couple of days without charging it. The ringers aren't overly loud, but just set to vibrate and it'll get your attention, I've felt the vibration through my purse before. I get a great signal almost everywhere I am and I've rarely had a dropped call. There have been a couple of times where it won't connect, not many, trust me, but with a re-try or two it'll get going.
Over all this is a really good phone. It's hardy and stands up to most things I can dish out and I'm hard on many things I own. It's well worth the money.
