  • its a very nice phone......it is cheap n very hardy phone.

  • Reply to Adiman Can u explain the following: "The loss to the company's goodwill may be far worse" Wake up man! Go through the quarterly financial closing of Nokia, Samsung, LG and Motorola. For ease, GSM Arena has given brief on it. Go through it and you ll find that Samsungg & LG are increasing their sales as well as goodwill and Nokia is losing its market share. Don't write or say anyting without proper knowledge.

  • Just to update.. Tried with two of my relatives if they could at least use the phone.. They did not like it. Sold off the product at a big loss last week. Added a few extra bucks to the price i got for it, and bought a bare-bottom Nokia!(Nokia 1203) And HAPPY about it. :-) At least i can use it without having to irritate myself. But no fm radio in the bargain.. my choice, i could have bought a higher nokia model if i wanted. A funny thing happened at the store.. the salesman was pitching a few models to me. Showed Nokia, LG.. and then said "this new Samsung one is real good". The firmness with which i reacted shocked the guy!! What to do, once bitten twice shy. Note: I quote from rules i can see "No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand will get you banned" I wish to state that i am just putting forward my personal user experience. I have used four Nokia sets, never had to exert myself in using any of them. Bought the first Samsung, and had to suffer a loss in selling it within three months. India is a very price sensitive market, and companies have to compete to offer products at the lower price points. But my sincere advice is that if they cannot invest enough R&D money in building a lower range model, it is better not to introduce a frustrating one. The loss to the company's goodwill may be far worse. I surprised myself with the intensity with which i refused to even consider a Sg at the shop. I for one will not be buying another Sg in a hurry. Sorry Mr Aaamir Khan, even if you say so!

  • Very little space for messages...

  • worst mobile i have ever used....

  • b210 cell is very gud thats why i m use the cell bettry back up is very strong

  • Hey, warning! ya can't log on for MMS on this cell phone.

  • How to put images in it. why can't we do that? Tell me cause its bit important. Your effort will be appreciated

  • cant u read the specs carefully it says o bluetooth............................

  • how can use bluetooth in this set B210, will u tell me on my id [email protected]

  • Dear, GSM AREANA..... FYI, ther is no GPRS facility. Kindly CORRECT. Regards GPRS

  • this b210 is low feature. All samsung model need some new specification as equal to this generation. Add some new specification so that every one could buzz all model for samsung!

  • I agree to the fact that Samsung is lousy for SMSing.. It takes ages to type a msg. Also, the response time is too slow for any operation.. I personally have used samsung phones, and the company hasnt made slightest effort to improvise the user interface.. On the other side Nokia is the best for messaging.. Also the reception sensitivity is quite good compared with samsung.. The best part about samsung is its clear sound compared with nokia.. So to conclude, if u r looking for messaging use Nokia, else go in for Samsung for voice calls and great FM clarity.. More later..

  • Mr.Adiman and Mr.Dave.....Sorry I MEAN TO SAY Mr.Nokia and Mr.Samsumg....can end your WAR?????

  • Reply to Dave: Thanks buddy for such a polite reply! I begin with declaring any potential conflict of interest (should have done that in my earlier post itself) Conflict of interest: None declared Neither me, my relatives or my close friends are employed with, or affiliated with any mobile phone company. (A pity really, could have done with some insider information) A point to be emphasized.. I have sought to degrade the user experience offered by the particular model B210 made by Samsung. How does that equate to downgrading Samsung phones in entirety? Exaggeration is the one of the basic virtues tought to all budding advertisers.. Makes me wonder if you are in the advertising field! :-) I have not used any other Samsung mobile set ever, so cannot comment on the brand at all. In fact, Samsung honcho says they aim to be second best mobile brand in India. Point to be noted.. even they are aiming to be second best only! To be the largest selling brand (here in India), they would need to be better, not just equal to Nokia. Perplexed by your suggestion. Why should i get feedback from other Samsung users, now that i have already committed the mistake of buying this particular model? I have used it, and shared my experience of using it and the nags i faced. Its for the company guys to be gathering consumer feedback. Thanks for second suggestion. Unfortunately, they have not yet started the concept of tutorial classes for teaching people how to learn to operate "good featured" phones {Quotes intended. I do not intend the readers to carry the impression that i am calling this piece a 'good featured phone'!} So till the time coaching is provided, we technically challenged people usually either discover a feature in a phone by trial and error fiddling with it, or look to the nicely folded glossy 'User maual' that usually accompanies new marvels of technology. And in case a User Manual that is comprehensive enough to show via a series of diagrams, how a CALL IS TO BE MADE using a phone (First press this.. then press digits.. then press this... !!) does not show 'Reminders' as a feature, we assume its absence from the technopot we just bought. "Come out from Nokia's basic phone." I just did.. Still repenting it! "Go to "Calendar" and select "Create"...and set your event or memo." I hope you are talking of the same model my review was about. The only options i find in the Calendar view are "1-Go to date, 2-Starting day (of a week), 3-Festivals (specific to India)". There is no 'create' option. "For T9 dictionary, press * while typing. T9 dictionary will be set permanently." No.. T9 is not set permanently. It starts with whatever mode was last active while typing the last message. "In inserting symbols, you have not changed the settings. Do it and the phone won't ask any questions. :)" In inserting symbols, i could not find any settings! Tell me where exactly the magic switch is, and i shall smile back! "Com'on...in typing message, you don�t need to format it properly." Ah, the murderers of the English language. How i despise thee.. {Note the capitalization used in the sentence} :-) "it means Samsung have done the right thing, as one needs "123" more than formal "Abc" or "ABC"." Wow. Were you the guy who did the market research for them on deciding this? No seriously.. What do other people find handy.. '123' as first change or 'Abc' as first change? "Anyhow....you enjoy your bulky Nokia, with no "Privacy Setting" on different folders. :)" To be honest with you, i AM actually missing the sturdy feel of the Nokia set. It was reassuring really. So many times did i drop the sets i had, sat over them, and even sometimes slept right over them (not deliberately!) Are you really talking about this phone model only? The privacy setting for individual folders is supposed to be in higher range models, no? Or is it such a top secret feature that even the User manual (praise be to that glossy sheet) omits it..? By the way i forgot to discuss.. 'Selective recall' or 'selective highlighting' is another favored tool of true blue advertisers {Thats how they make us believe that taking your loved ones to McDonald's, and getting your kids used to the taste of the junk as early as possible in life, is a true reflection of how caring you are!!} You seem to have carefully forgotten the other several points i had discussed.

  • Reply to Adiman: Good job Adiman!! You�ve tried your level best to downgrade Samsung phones. :) I suggest you one thing that kindly get feedback of Samsung's users too...that how much they are used to of and comfortable with all message settings in Samsung phones. :D Few points to be discussed here. 1st of all, the "Reminders" are available. All you have to do is to learn to use good featured phones. Come out from Nokia's basic phone. Go to "Calendar" and select "Create"...and set your event or memo. : For T9 dictionary, press * while typing. T9 dictionary will be set permanently. In inserting symbols, you have not changed the settings. Do it and the phone won't ask any questions. :) Com'on...in typing message, you don�t need to format it properly. Why do u want to use capital letters so often? It�s not an official letter or email. :p The concept of sms is to communicate smoothly & casually. So if "123" option is before "Abc" or "ABC", it means Samsung have done the right thing, as one needs "123" more than formal "Abc" or "ABC". Anyhow....you enjoy your bulky Nokia, with no "Privacy Setting" on different folders. :)

  • no gprs stupid phone except look

  • Very rarely do i take extreme views of anything, but this is an absurdly ridiculous creation. I am feeling frustrated at having chosen this one over a Nokia phone. There are several small niggles, that taken together add up to a very irritating user experience. They also convey a lack of company research into basic consumer requirements from a phone. - The FM is good, but there is no one button to shift between preset channels. Pressing left or right in the navigation main key shifts the frequency by 0.1 MHz.. why would i want to scan through the entire FM frequency range! To shift between channels, you need to keep the left or right key pressed for long. A terrible waste of default key press action. -The FM is not operable through the button present on the headset provided along with the phone. With the FM playing, the headset button does NOTHING, nothing at all. If you need to change channels, you need to take out the phone from your pocket, deactivate the keypad lock (which most people usually use), and then use the keypad to change channels. Glaring lack of accessibility of features. - The nice long elliptical button on the headset, has no feature other than to call the last dialled number (it cant even be used to move through contact list) and to recieve/end a call) - In messages menu, the inbox is buried inside submenus.. you need to press thrice to access inside your sms inbox -In typing a message, there is no option of putting T9 dictionary permanently on. You need to click click click to make it on everytime you start typing a message. - Another small point, but makes you so irritated because of the sheer lack of thoughtfulness shown. The '*' key is designated for shifting between 'abc' '123' 'Abc' 'ABC' text mode. But on first click of the * key, the mode changes to '123' rather than 'Abc'. This may seem a small thing, but please calculate that in normal SMS usage how many times do you need to insert a number, and how many times do you need to change to a capital letter.. What justified putting number mode as first action.. - They took care to make even inserting symbols a painful task. The Symbols panel is innovatively laid out, and you can get any symbol in maximum two clicks, but after you select a symbol, EVERYTIME you have to press the topleft key to 'ok' and insert it. "Kya aap confident hain?" (Are you confident of your answer?) "Kya aap yahi symbol insert karna chahte hain?" (You wish to insert this symbol only?) "Aapke chosen symbol ko lock kardein insert karne ke liye?" (Should we lock your selected symbol?).. comeon man, its not a question of millions, just inserting symbols!! - The delivery reports come as separate messages. I dont know about other phones, but at least the nokia phones i had so far, had 'delivered' status indicated by a discrete change in icon against the SMS in the 'Sent' folder. - A small rant, but the sent messages are not saved by default. You have to choose to do it everytime. - There is no 'Reminders' feature in the phone. I found it such a handy feature really. - Against all these deficiencies, they have provided the 'privilege' of getting to display two clock times on screen at a time, meaning e.g. you can see your current time and another city's time simultaneously. No nitpicking the feature, but how many of non-business users will really be needing this feature, in whats meant to be a basic color-screen phone really. Phew, a long mail.. Will add to it as and when required. I am ready to admit any feature which i may have missed/ incorrectly stated about, if pointed out. The users so far have been very generous in giving the phone 7.2 overall. No mistakes, phone itself is nice, but the user experience of operating it is a mighty bad one. Take solace from one fact at least in the entire bitter experience. This was my first non Nokia phone in six years of being a cellphone user. Reinforces the belief "look everywhere, see everything.. and then go buy a Nokia"! From now on its Nokia only.

  • this handset is good and looking very sexy but i want to know that there is a option of songs downloded by detacable yes,or no

  • One of the best features in Samsung sets is the "privacy" setting. I couldn't find this feature (built-in) in Nokia, S.E and/or LG. This feature enables me to set password on my messages, videos, pictures etc. Isn't it great? :D Even privacy feature is available in Samsung's basic phone like this B210.

  • Hey guys, I will tell u what exactly this phn is all about.... I bought this phn in Kolkata at Rs. 1900 only...and here is what i faced... The looks is superb. The display of this phn is awesome with a quite bigger screen. Battery is awful, can't even lasts 2 days with moderate use only.... The only thing which provoked me to buy this phn is the quality of the FM....I am telling u guys, i have heard FMs of Nokia, Motorola, LG, and Sony Ericcson...but this phone's FM quality is just awesome and superb....it catches frequency even in crowded trains and buses easily and the reception of the FM is great...absolutely superb sound.... Don't be a fool about GPRS...it has no WAP browser, so u can't browse....u can only download from ur service connection only. The most disturbing thing about this phn is the reception power....it is awful....u can't even hear a single thing when it is just a little bit crowded....the ringtones are such that u can't hear if u r in a modest crowd ....u know what i mean...right? I would personally rate this phn 4/10..(mind u the battery and the reception power is just awful man....awful)...I personally suggest not to buy this phn....rest is ur choice......bye...

  • MPEG4,? gprs and no browser? .... 480kb ???

  • This piece is already available in India and is marketed as "Guru 210". Got a friendly Samsung distributor (not dealer or retailer)? If yes, you can buy this piece at as low as INR 1600/_ The official specs are available at the official website. in.samsungmobile.com/mobile/SGH-B210/spec

  • Is that Samsung Guru and the above model are one and the same?I couldn see any speaker phone option inthis model but has been mentioned.

  • yes. there must be some mistake about spec. just 480 kb memory and no memory slot. it really is wrong post.

  • this is just the "i" type of C170

  • Dear GSMArena Admins, The SGH-B210 doesn't come with Bluetooth connectivity. But it does support MP3 ringtones. It supports USB connectivity for transfers to/from a PC. I've personally confirmed with SAMSUNG Mobile Division personnel. Some of the specs mentioned here are total mismatch with SAMSUNG "official" specs. Please see to the correction. With the very best regards, Hindustani.

  • - MP3 player - MPEG4 player For a phone with 480kb memory? Or is there something wrong in specs?
