Samsung C210 - User Reviews

  • I love this mobile

  • I love this mobile

  • MY first handset, very cute and elegant. I purchased this in 2006 and now its battery backup is 30 minutes :)

  • My First Hand Set & Still Have It

  • I love this mobile....................................

  • Woww!! My first Ever Set :D

  • Need Battery. good phone

  • good... but not best...

  • Press this butoon for 3 seconds #

  • this phone as a whole a gud phone bt the battery back up is nt up2the mrk and it doesnt hav ny option for silent mode........

  • This is overall a good phone. I have used it for several years - and bought it when it first came out. Of course - you cannot compare it to the phones that are available today as mobiles have come a long way in 4 years! But still, battery life, durability and hand comfort are good. Messaging is a bit difficult and the phones limited memory are its mains cons.

  • the phone has no scpe of increasing the memory but could be used

  • this is the worst mobile ever made warning: do not do the mistake of buying this phone buying this phone means throwing the money to buy this phone in fire

  • Kinldy help me to get the Display of this modle, I'm searching for it for the past 6 months

  • this is a very good phone.

  • the get-up of the phone is good,it's attractive but should have some more expandable memory space, and also it should have USB connection facility.

  • yep, u r correct...the mentioned problem are true to best of my knowledge....but still fon is working fine for past 3 yrs....sometimes it hangs....but okay okay fon

  • No brother, battrey life is pathetic... i charge the fon everyday... u must be lucky enogh or u r using some other fon....

  • Yeah! This is very very best phone i've ever seen. Battery life is unbelievable. Only Bad thing is this one is memory for wap browser. Large pages cannot load. But more can. Nice design nice color. Better you can got this!

  • Plz send the software of samsung c210 for download the ring tones

  • can't connect it wid computer even wid modem

  • Cute & nice design, But poor sound, ring tone can't be heard in noisy area, no silent mode, avg battery life, voice memo useless.

  • it has low signal decent battery life but very slow

  • i m using ths hanset for last 2 years.... and now its battery has weaken too much... wat can i do to increase its batery life...

  • i am using still 3 years draw backs are low battery back up and phone acessing slow and signal problem

  • i am using tjis mobile for3 years is a cute mobile but the map service is really poor

  • how can i download ringtones n games for C210 ........

  • Samsung c210 is a gud mobile ...but in this mobile,no option of silent is there..we can put our cell to vibration mode or on general mode,there is no option of silent given........

  • c210 is very good phone in this price .. i love its look .. the screen and sound is very clear .. but the battery is bad .. i love this phone very much

  • I want to know which software and data cable can be used with C210 on Win98

  • When someone calls, the call connects automatically without the phone ringing. Whatis wrong?%20Please%20help%20me.

  • prafull: software for c210 'easy gprs '

  • YOGESHWAR: data cable is available for c210. i'm using one. the software must be installed

  • Poor signal even on the road,low ringer volume you cant hear in slightly noisy places,use less voice memo recorder as even if we shout it recotd at lowest volume bad experience.

  • I am using this phone for the past year. It is is good, lightweight phone with good display, average sound, average shape. But the battery performance is very bad!! It is a very slow phone also.

  • I'm using this phone for 5 months. Nice design! 1000 phone book entries, good picture & sound quality, mms, gprs & java all good.This sound is not so cute as SonyErricson but better than average Nokia. No speaker phone, no silent option while ringing an incoming call, No enter key option in messaging, Cant sent picture messages to anyone, but we can send multimedia pictures, ringtones by mms. The internet accessing centre button causes much more difficulty, accidentally finger touches our cash balance will be reduced!. Excluding 1000 entry phone book, all other memmories are very less. Does not support JPG pictures and 3GP/mp3 ringtones but support MIDI and mmf. Interface is not more user friendly, but a little. only very less options and settings are there. While saving text messages it shows only the phoneNumber/name as identifier.Duration of any message display is very high around 4 or 5 seconds. Mixed call history of recieved/dialled/missed calls while pressing call button is a good feature. There is no profile that we can choose at a time, at least sound options. In the ringing type thre is only Ring, Ring + Vira, Vibra; there is no option for Light only.We can save more than one number may be with different icons, While any incoming call it doesn't show the number and the type icon too, it just display the saved name, so we can't understand from which phone the call is coming,This is the most foolish thing done by samsung. We can use Ringtones for alarms and schedules, but messaging and other alerts have seperate tones for each section, it is too bad I think. We cannot move all of the address in the SIM to Phone and vice versa,which is useful if we shift from one SIM to another or from one phone to another, we have to do it one by one, if 500 numbers we have to do the procudure 500 times! While saving anything it always ask SIM/Phone it is a cumbersome, This asks even if only one choice "Phone" also ! Great foolish question! If we save any phone book entry it always ask memory location, this also steals a click and time, Who remembers all the phone memory locations ??! We can make silent by just holding down the # key, it's good. if auto lock key is off, we can lock it by holding down * key, but it ask an unwanted question : "lock Key pad?". 3 alarms are there Daily/Morning/onetime, it's good. but Morning call has 2 options "monday to friday" & "Monday to saturday", so that we can't use this in sundays! While typing message caps lock handling is not so good. In phone book we can create group (max 10), add more phone numbers to this group, we can set ringtone/message tone & graphic logo to a group, it's good, not possible to assign ring tone to each number. If you like these nice features with lower price and ready to suffer these difficulties of course you can by this small pretty & cu phone . Good luck!

  • the design is very good. very light and comfort to use. the screen is really bright and colorful. this handset offers a high quality of 40 pholyphonic ringtones. this is a great set. I use it

  • Perhaps i will buy this phone. Is it have speakerphone and sms report after sms delivered?

  • I have written a rather detailed rant about the phone... I like its sleek look and light weightness. I am okay with its slightly sluggish performance. But I totally disagree when it comes to the phone being user friendly. If you are interested (and if it is ok with this forum) please take a look at

  • well, nice phone but got a prob. in samsung d500, there is a thing called 'port' in gprs settings which has to be set to value '80' for gprs facility,but in c210 there is no such thing as port. What should i do? plz help me

  • well, nice phone but got a prob. in samsung d500, there is a thing called 'port' in gprs settings which has to be set to value '80' for gprs facility,but in c210 there is no such thing as port. What should i do?

  • can anybody mail me ,how to transfer ringing tones & pictures to c210 phone

  • its nizeeeee phone, but this alarm sound is short or not continue playback, how to setting alarm sound for long & continue....please tell me now pleeeeeeeeaseeeee

  • I bought this phone a couple of months ago and I like it very much. Only thing I am not too happy is the processing speed. Otherwise, it is worth the price. Need a clarification - I classified the contact into groups. In Silent mode, the phone doesn't vibrate for messages from contacts classified under group. For messages from unknown numbers, it vibrates properly. Can someone help?

  • HI i bought c210 two weeks back its very cost effecetive with features like gprs,tri band+inbilt polyphonic ring tone etc when compared to other brands.things i did not like about the phone are no group messaging,cant send ring tones

  • how do i download using this c210,if i can do it at all?is data tranfer from and to the pc to this phone possible?how?

  • Hi I bought the cell one week ago. Its pretty good and cost effective. But it is a bit slow. When i tried to download games, it says it is not compatible for downloading of games. Do any body know what might be the problem? or how to download games?

  • I brought the handset last week. It looks really good with great screen clarity which other top brand mobiles do not have(for such a price), very cheap with GPRS, MMS, JAVA games etc. Polyphonic ringtones are nice to hear. Every coin has two sides. The problem hear is it gets heated up soon, making key pad active takes time, no 'send to many' options in SMS. Other than, it is good. I'd rate 4.8/5 for this hand set.

  • I purchased the C-210, ten days after its launch. I found the set quite user friendly. Just let me know how I can all the sim no to phone. Secondly is their the option of dowmloading the new tones from the mobile providing company. If yes where to save it. Only regret is that games are not interesting a lot and are not user friendly.

  • i have purchased c210 today. can i copy all sim numbers to phone memory asap like nokia? please help. u cant make silent while it ringing. It will be nice if samsung had given a hands ferr kit with it.

  • In november 2004 i bought two SGH C-100 cell phone for me and my friend. we had some hanging problem while switch off/on. finally we have changed to nokia phones.But for the same price i heard through my friends samsung will give good colour phone.so, i saw c-200,c210,c230. c200 is now old.c230 is FM is additional feature compared with C210. so,myself & my friends total 5 nos. planned to buy C 210 @ Rs.3800 per instrument in bangalore. when approached the dealer ha had shown sony eriction J210i for the same price.but i donnot know the performance.CAN ANYONE HELP ME WHICH PHONE WILL BE THE BEST COAMPARED WITH THESE MODELS or IN THIS PRICE RANGE PLEASE......., [email protected]

  • great set! I think the color is the best feature of it. But only problem is the availibility of data cable in kolkata since the set is new.one can download the pims s/w from samsung to get pc connectivity.

  • Please help me........... 1. When I write any message, I can't use ENTER. Is it not possible by this set ? 2. How can I connect this set with PC ? Someone wrote to need for that V200 cable and Easy GPRS v2.1.8. I download the software and buy the cable. But now what I have to do ? When I install the software, it asked- "Please, Install the SamsungGPRS modem to use EasyGPRS Wizard". He didn't mentioned about any modem. Then what can I do ? Lastly, Thanks & waiting for your reply. Amin Mehedi....

  • Its an excellent phone.could anyone help me ?Where can i get the easy gprs v 2.1.8

  • hi all nice phone, sleek design and the display is very good. But the navigation can be made easier bcoz i used to refer the mannual every time to find out the way to make a call but i managed to do it as i just using . I have a question how to connect my phone with my pc and what data cable should i use is it necessary to activate GPRS while accesing thru data cable? can any one tell me please !!

  • good news i can add my own ringtone and wallpaper from my pc to my c210.i using samsung v200 cable data and easy gprs v2.1.8.but too bad piano sound so bad it's different with n620

  • HI, I actually have a question about this phone and all new samsung phones. I was wondering if the phones have the option to set a differant ringer tone to each contact? thanks

  • can any one inform me whether it's possible to download ringtone and is it possibel to download any wallpaper & set as a scrinsaver in this phone (c210).

  • my mom is using this model i really liked it but i think it shoud hav a speaker but anyway its very good

  • You can use WAP, but that's only if you're willing to pay... ORE you can use a Datakabel, wich u can use to download free ringtones and wallpapers. But i don't know if datakabel is possible for this phone... but i think it is

  • i used this phone for 2 day.It's very good.Small,funny and light,good sound and display.Better than nokia with the same price.to bad no infra red port so i can't add ringtone to my phone.anyone can help me how to connect this phone to pc so i can add ringtone to my phone.thanks

  • I have bought samsung 210 phone.Really beautiful phone.I like it.Its small and weightless.Great quality ringtones.Voice recorder included.Price is also cheap. Clarity is far better than nokia.and many more features.....

  • Good slim phoee, really light, great color, even though has a few drawbacks. The phone is generally slow, especially when you unlock the keypad, gets switched off once in a while, even though it will be back to normal once you restart it.Another drawback is that you cant enter new word which is more than 4 letters into the T9 dictionary . But the memory capacity is really superb,and the wap is good, the sound is better than nokia pones in its class. But the best feature of this phone is its price. So this phone is for the price conscious buyer who wants a lot of functions but will compromise on the processiing speed of the phone

  • Can anyone help me make choice between a Samsung C210 and C200 please i'm really confused.

  • I just buyed this mobile this is great in look, slim and light, with high resolution and ample memory for storing mobile numbers, office, home numbers with email address its simply great. This is far ahead compare to nokia mobiles at this price range.

  • C210 is triband whereas C200 is dual band. C210 is also a little bigger and has a very good battery life.

  • I just cant get this, WHAT IS THE DIFF between C200 and C210 in functions except color n key-structre! Wat is samsung doing? Are they trying to making some "WORLD-RECORD of most fone-models released by a company" ?? seriously, this is insane :( When C230 arrived, OK it had RADIO, but whats different except a bit of color and structure of keys between the this n C200?

  • nice design! but too bad samsung prefers making slider and clamshell phones its high-end phones. samsung should try to emulate sony ericsson. i wouldnt buy this phone as it is now. but i would if it had a 2.0 megapixel camera, bluetooth, ample memory. mp3 player, video recorder and a 2-inch QVGA screen. i hope samsung reads this comment!!!

  • Looks brilliant.Colour phone with excellent and exciting features.Far ahead from Nokia . Has super clarity screen.Will Certainly do very well in India.It has looks and class

  • the phone is better than c 100 and x 100 with colourful display and standart polyphony.it is perfect for me and my job because is small and ringing on high level.
