  • i use this phone and overall with this range of price its a good phone but, it has a several of lack example the brightness is very low i can't see the screen under the sun and the keypad lock easily to open when i put it in my pocket with other thing like my key, since it only need to push * for 3 second to open keypad lock. i often found it call my contact number accidentally although i've already lock my keypad. maybe it's better if samsung would like to make it has to push more than one button to open the keypad lock instead of only one button.

  • Purchased the E1080W (looks the same at the T) in South Africa last year. Its unlocked and I'd like to use it on a trip to Europe (UK, Spain) this year. Does anyone know if it will work if I replace the SIM card when I get to the UK?

Yes, you will have to purchase a new battery. Make sure you don't leave the phone drains the battery until it empties. I have lost 2 baterries in this way, and will have to purchase a third one. Another bad Samsung Product.

  • I just bought this phone yesterday for only MYR60 in Malaysia. It is a very basic phone without anything fancy in it. I used it only for texting. So far its not too bad i think. The brightness and contrast sucks but if you use the power saving mode, it will work like charm.I've used Nokia with torchlight before but the light is really poor. However for this phone, its torchlight is really bright. I'm a nokia user before so the fact that i have to press # for space during texting is really bugging me. Hoped that i could get used to it. It have like only a few ringtone in it. But i didn't bother as i usually set my phone only for vibrate. Overall a very nice secondary phone. Slim, look nice except for the OK button that have 'OK' on it. It make the phone looks like a toy.lol. Featherweight. The cheapest phone in town i presume. Sturdy. I intentionally dropped the phone on hard marble floor but it didn't leave a single scratch. the keypad are nice. Didn't do the clicking sound like my nokia with it stupid plastic keypad. The autolock feature is kinda unnecessary. It have a lock feature that ask for password to open my message box or contact list. Superb for privacy. lol. My sister couldnt read my text message anymore after this. I cant comment about the battery life as i only used it for 2 days. but from the review here its definitely awesome. To sum up, it's a very good phone. reasonable for its price. Nothing fancy, just a very basic phone. I give it 7.8 marks out of 10.

  • it´s good !!

  • can i know what is this? Go to settings , phone ok option 3 press off and save wich the setting

  • Go to settings , phone ok option 3 press off and save

  • This is the best and cheapest mobile phone in the world !

  • Cute. Affordable. Simple, easy to use and good to use, just only for practical but just enough... :)

  • not good.. bought e1080f one n half year ago..now its gone.. Service centre demanded 650 Rs. for servicing..too much for this handset..

  • Yes this a importent question how can i download MP3 ring tone repley fast............

  • what is the operating system of these samsung.???? any clue...cause that ive been asked and to be frank i was speechless ...so does these phone has os in it..m

  • Can I set other mp3 ringtones from my coomputer to this phone? Please help!

  • i noticed it has GRPS/EDGE connection, but no browser. can i use it for browsing to internet?

  • I have a Slim & Sleek and it's fine, but the keypad keeps locking whenever I put it down for five minutes. I know how to unlock it with the star key, but it just locks again. How can I permanently unlock it? Thanks.

  • the phone is so patheitc

  • The battery life is greater then 840 hour. Alias 30 day of stand-by autonomy!!! In Italy cost 4� with Vodafone.

  • use language file brother

  • This phone is great! Wish I could put in a custom 'mp3 ringtone. Also, use this phone in a private setting. When my phone rings in pubIc places with friends, everyone laughs at me, and asks me which driver did I steal the phone from?

  • Hi, this phone is verry good and mostly reject list setting is very good featurs but only on issue to unable to recived marathis sms this feature not avilable ................

  • i think you are true to us, smasung can not provided this much battery backup.

  • Really good backup/holiday phone. Battery life out of the box lasted 2 weeks solid - no need to have the camera/internet. Have used mine to call China on an every other day basis - no problems with sound quality and build quality and most importent setting is the reject list setting and caller picture & caller ringtone but only for a one issue unable to sent and recived picture sms,unable to recived marathi sms over all mobile is verry good..............

  • Verry good hanset and features i also ussed rejecte list setting.........

  • Really good backup/holiday phone. Battery life out of the box lasted 2 weeks solid - no need to have the camera/internet. Have used mine to call China on an every other day basis - no problems with sound quality and build quality. Bought this with £10 credit for £15 - phone cost me £5.

  • How to transfer mp3 ringtones to this phone

  • I have bought this phone about 6 months ago. it's a good phone because its battery life about 10 days, standby. its price Rp. 99000,- (1 US$ = Rp. 9800,-) in a promo event in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

  • i've been using this for 3 yrs. the overall performance is good. the only problem is that, sometimes it automatically turns/switch off even if it is fully-charged.

  • this phone isn'n support java, gprs/edge, is low cost phone...i have

  • I needed a phone without camera, so i bought this today. Wish it had better ringtones... All of them are disgusting! Other things are good for the price i paid.(About 20$)

  • This phone is awsome. I unintentionally dropped it from boeing 737 cockpit, but it's still working nicely. It's really tough. I bet my nokia 5800 will ended it's service if it dropped from the cockpit. Yet, the fake call is really helpful for escaping from an annoying conversation. The autoreject calls is also helpful for escaping from an annoying calls during day off.

  • this phone simply is an essential gadget you wouldn't leave home without. a standard beater type phone if your the type of person who's always on the go. though it may lack some features like reminder functions for important dates to remember aside from the basic memo functions, a multimedia player for customizing tones, a decent screen, but overall, this Korean brand can compete and kick @ss with its competitors. long and stable battery life, pretty decent firmware installed. decent voice clarity (depends on network and provider) all in all, this phone is good if you wish to give your androids, iphones, berries a break especially if you live in areas where stick-ups happen and you might end up losing your life if you don't give your precious phones to the thieves. had 4 of these already, this is my 5th unit...decent pricing, very competitive against the European brands. definitely a must have cheers from the philippines! =)

  • no radio but there is java!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is that right?????????????????????????????????????

  • @ achyo, thanks for the tip I have been able to finally set the mobile tracker function on my fon, even locking my messages and so on...thank you again. Risked the loss of contacts but, what teh heck!

  • the best phone i got..

  • good battery life in talk, loud speaker and good price

  • Check in the profiles you will find it....

  • how do you turn the key tones off on this wonderful phones off people

  • Brilliant phone excellent battery life. Poor screen and stupid torch light mode which turns on even though phone is locked.(Long press up button in locked mode) Uses up all the battery. Several times I found it in my pocket with the torch mode on. Just stupid. Can't turn off in settings either >:(

  • Hi, how to save all my messages form this phone to computer

  • This hanset allmost good for me i also ussed for this hanset to call reject lis option

  • how to loose freeze in my celphone samsung

  • In regards to your little rant mate its just a different model number. There are that many out there for different countries etc. Just because it has the T at the end means its no different to the I. I can assure you this as we sell them in my store. And slim and sleek is just a catchphrase and nothing to do with what the phone is called. Cheers

  • Remove sim Reset Code *2767*3855#

  • Anybody knows what is secret code for network strenght reading (in dB)? Thnx

  • my mob, like stevan's, is a Samsung "slim & sleek" GT-E1080i. It says so on the box! This site disclaims any knowledge of the model, refering enquirers to model E1080T. What's up Samsung????? Is the E-1080i yours or a fake?

  • what can i doo,if my phone blocking...???

  • how to get phone lock samsung gt-1080f

  • how to get phone lock gt-e1080f

  • I currently have this phone. my mum bought me this phone for xmas and it is essentialy a basic phone that has call and text function with 1 game (which i keep playing) it is good as a backup phone and/or a phone for someone who doesn't need anything better or bigger. its reliable and tough (dropped it alot) all in all i like it, but it will still look for another phone i can afford and then keep mine as a spair.

  • samsung c3050

  • is the e1080t LCD compatible with the e1080f ?

  • i can't power on my phone, even my battery is full, can you gave me a step to fix it?

  • awesome phone i ever had seen like this excellent

  • can i use it abroad? any suggestion what fone can i use abroad?

  • i love this phone.. back to back with my iP4. e1080 simply amazing :D

  • This is the best phone ever for my 2nd phone...battery life is VERY GOOD! i use it normally about 7 days without charge, if not use, about 14 days.. !

  • first of all you got to remember that the nokia 1280 also is much more expensive than the samsung 1080. and after all, yes of cause its a bad phone when you compare with the nokia 1280, but, its also much more expensive ( as menstioned ). this phone is more than half the price of a nokia 1280! and sorry but, nokia 1280 is not a good phone ether at all!

  • yes it can.

  • I had this phone for almost a year, and still the battery is very, very efficient. I rarely use for SMS, but heavily used for calling. I only charge 2x/wk. When I bought this phone it doesn't have a headset, so any compatible headset for this phone?

  • i wanna get this! :)

  • This Samsung's low-end phone kick-ass Nokia's low end phone! Even Nokia's monochrome phone more expensive than Samsung GT-E1080F (65K CSTN).

  • fantastic phone if u want something very basic. batteries lasts for hours and hours u cant fault this phone.

  • Hi all, Can this phone plug in earphone? coz earphone is not included in the box

  • Does it has fake call facility?

  • I have a problem in the phone password. samsung had a to password the phone lock and sim lock ... the problem I forgot my phone lock password... can help me ...?? kind hp samsung gt-e1080t

  • Super Phone for SMART-buyers-Phone

  • my ACM can't reset, so i was not able to make a call

  • Cheap phone. It does what it does. I'm only using it for until my new phone arrives, but I'm impressed by its battery life since I'm completely lazy when it comes to charging.

  • enter Application on Settings and then enter Call and then All calls..and enter Auto reject..there you can make a Reject-list and put Activation on ON..if you want to block Uknown numbers you´ll find that on top of the Reject-list.

  • i found that you cant set which memory to use, it will automatically switch to internal memory when sim memory is full. Would be nice to have control over it but it works just fine this way also.

  • The keypad auto-lock period can be adjusted by disabling power saving mode (if enabled) and adjusting the Backlight time which is related to keypad time. If you want to use power saving mode the keypad will lock after nearly 10 second. So you can adjust LCD brightness to minimum (to 1 postion) as power saving mode without using it.

  • correction to my post before, my secondary fone gave up, actualy the charger went up in smoke eheh, and while waiting for my new fone i am using this samsung. and i have to say: 1. BATTERY is amazing! It lasts forever! 2. SIGNAL is great, absolutely top notch, much better than my expensive fancy HTC. And i gotten used to the bad LCD, i can manage, for a while. Anyway its a weird fone, it insist on putting all SMS, so i dont even know if its true that it can store 500 SMS internally. In any case, battery life and signal are really impressive.

  • How does it block incoming calls? I've been trying and I can't seem to find a setting for that.A little help here please!

  • Can be bought from Tesco(UK) for GBP10 unlocked (with a free SIM of your choice).

  • i used to have one of this phone it is a good one.. and durable and soft rubber keyboard :)

  • it´s worth buying as it also has auto-reject and can also block incoming calls when people call you without showing their phone-number..cool !

  • everything ! sms and calling ! you need more ?

  • Hi All! I am planning to buy this phone. I have heard a lot of pro's and con's about this phone and I would like to ask if the phone is worth buying? Thanks!

  • but WHAT is good abt it??

  • this has to be wrong, GPRS and EDGE?? On a fone with no browser and no MMS support? Nope, this fone has no data connection whatsoever. I have one coz i got it for free, battery is ok but its lacking in everything else so i cant say i find it useful at all. Better to get a Nokia 1202/1280 or something like that, they have better LCD also (not colored but much clearer and brighter) so you can actually READ your text messages. Nokia 1280 even have FM radio. or add a few bucks to get a cheap sony3riczn - its still d best quality brand. Watever you do, do NOT buy samsung E1080x, or any other samsung fone. edit: another advantge of this samsux is the big keypad, good for very old ppl or others with big fingers with reduced motorics. But the bad LCD pretty much rules out old ppl, they will not be able to see the LCD at all. So sorry to say, this fone is so ret@rded that it cannot be used by even re@trded ppl!

  • Very annoying software and default settings, extremly hard to find settings in the menu, annoying old melodys, defective old plug in charge. Very simple phone, signal ok, battery ok, good for the Samsung used users.

  • best mobile-phone on the market !

  • loool my gf throw this phone 13x or more because she got mad at me and its still working perfectly but many scratches, then she throw it again one time then the screen got broken. but still impressive :D gonna buy new samsung phone :P

  • Looking for a secondary (standby) phone that last more than a week on a single charge. I have Samsung B130 but somehow, for a very simple phone, I managed to brick it. :-( The battery tops 10 days on idle mode. So, is E1080T a good replacement? How long does this phone's battery last? Thanks.

  • i'am wondering if how can i activate the gprs on this cute little phone. . . Can anyone help me how to activate? thank you :)

  • technically it might be possible to add mp3 ringtones but I never could do it in mine... with 1mb of memory what would you add? Simply to small for that.

  • Actually voice clarity is bad. One of the worst I have owned. can't understand anything a man says in the other side, and people can't understand me when I talk. If my mother talks to it or on it curiously it is somewhat clear and understandable. Maybe some problem with low tone in this handset? anybody has noticed the same? My friends with omnias and other Samsung have noticed it too on theirs

  • DF

  • lol..I've bought it! It�s brand new. I�ve just forget suddenly what I have inputted because I have accessed it only again after 3 days when I inputted it. Anyway I think I will just try my possible 4 key combinations for phone lock and the problem will be solved in mobile tracker.

  • maybe your cellphone is not really yours and it is a snatched or came from a robber or you are the robber or snatcher because how come that you dont know your phone lock code? maybe the phone doesnt really belongs to you...

  • Guys, I just bought the 1080F.. As a former owner of a 1080T I think that the "T" is better than the "F" in terms of LCD clarity as well as the user interface.. The volume of the earpiece, both during speakerphone mode and handheld mode, is louder with the "T"... Will give feedback with regards to the 1080F's battery life soon (the 1080T clocked at around 2 weeks of normal use)...

  • besides the existing message tones, is there any way to change the tones??

  • i love samsung e1080

  • nice phone, got the model without gprs..only minus is that the display gets a bit too bright every now and then..it works as it should though and i like it..

  • use the arrows to adjust the volume (Up and Down)

  • Basic features, excellent phone. Superb battery performance! For a month of normal use, I charged mine only three times!

  • Guys, can anyone confirm this piece of info? Is the E1080F's message inbox and phonebook capacity larger than those of E1080T's?

  • Guys, here in the philippines samsung is selling the E1080F. Is there any difference between the E1080T and the E1080F? I use to own an E1080T before it was stolen. Good model though what i don't like is that I can't view the LCD under ditect sunlight, and that it reboots when accessing the call log that is already full...

  • All around great phone. Cheap and easy. Ready to use for texting and calling. Only complaint is that there's no option to adjust the volume of a call, and it's so loud by default that voices are distorted and can be difficult to understand.

  • softweyar

  • Hey I was just going through my phone and wondered what some of the features are. What is the broadcasting message thing and how do you get 'channels'? This has me really confuesed, and also how do you use the 'gsm network' thing? The last questions isn't so important to me but still I'd like to know. Thanks

  • I don't think there really is much difference except for a little change in design (ie. the colour around the 'ok' button is red.) Apart from that i'm really not sure that there is any difference but maybe there are more features or something.

  • They did upgrade it to the E1081T. Its pretty much the same from what i gather except for some red in the design but im not really sure. Same price though so good deal in the odd chance this breaks.

  • Really basic phone with no FM radio. my mom bought that phone for my brother's second phone because he has a 2 SIMs for his business.

  • About the bad earphone audio quality, I forgot to mention, that micropfone is good and you can be clearly heard on the other end of the line. I have tested it. It's just the way how you hear incoming callers during talk.

  • The phone is realy good, because of the price, small dimenssions and light weight, awesome battery life, no unneccesary confusing features, just the basic. I don't have to worry if I lose this phone (though I don;t want to), cause I could afford to get another one instantly. The built is sturdy. I was throwing it in my hands in the first day, but ironicaly it accidentaly fell on the hard floor and fell apart in 3 pieces. I was shocked, but no problem. Stick it together and it works fine, just like new. ATTENTION of one serious drawback - earphone audio quality is not as good as more expensive phones. Samsung should adress this fault. I would suggest for them to make even smaller phone with a better scnreen. It would be perfect. May be some small weather sealing could be applied, but given the price may be it is not necessary. Design is also good. I was considering Samsung C3200 but the design made me puke. Terrible. Waiting for the next generation from Samsung of this cheap, small and good line.

  • whats the difference between the samsung E1080T and E1081?

  • Is it really a good phone? I'm thinking between samsung e1170 and samsung e1080??

  • This keypad never fades unlike te cheapest phone of Nokia. And it is very handy and durable. Good job Samsung. For competing the products of Nokia.

  • ya its a great phone..

  • good phone. i just bought it at IDR.215,000 (less than USD.25) for my back up phone. cheap enough for basic and quality cellphone. i really like it's personalize locks.

  • phone works fine, it's good as a primary phone to make calls and send sms. my other phone works as a music player, photo storage, mobile browser, and camera. Very cheap also. Php. 980.00 only.

  • its a Vietnamese phone! lol

  • just simply go to setting and select privacy lock choose the messages/...remember you need to provide secutiry code

  • automatic it will lock.

  • can someone tell me how to lock messages?

  • it´s good..

  • press and hold the last key to the right down below..

  • I have one Samsung GT E1080F. Its really great mobile for those who want the basic mobile phone requirements. Battery life is superb.. I get nearly 6 to 8 Days!! At an average calling. Prayer Time Application is great, works Excellent Qibla Direction also very useful. The only drawback I found is, When keypad autolock, we dont have the facility to set the time. But still, if its locked, after you unlock it, you reach the same menu where you were before you lock!! Above all its worth your money.. Its very cheaper also!

  • May I ask how's the keypad and the text outline, is it thin small letters? Just want to know coz I goin to buy it soon. I'm at old age with reading glass and hard to read too small letters. Thanks!

  • I love this phone. Aside from its affordable, the battery can last for about 1 week. I buy this phone for about P969.00 only.

  • Press and hold upside navigator button.

  • Dear friends,i having problem with samsung e1080t.iam unable to put it on silent when some one calling.please help how to fix it.

  • I can text and use this phone in Direct Sunlight! hehe its a sunlight legit phone imao! =)

  • battery life good, keypad good, specs good...perfect as a back-up phone! only 999 here in the philippines!

  • This phone sucks. It's restarting all by himself until it did not open again. It is made in vietnam. I dont know what's wrong. I just used it for five months.

  • Does the keypad of this phone fade? Please answer this question. Thank you.

  • Affordable phone. But does not keep call duration everytime you change sim and in short cut setting, no option for contact. In all my phones, i always prefer the down shortcut to be for contact. .

  • Cheap, Reliable and Affordable! For Calls, Texts and Emergency Flashlite! Long Battery life! and Dirt Cheap! Best Cellpone i ever had! hehe!!!!!

  • today buy for my mother,lovely slim mobile and very simply for use,recommend!!! :)))))

  • simply put...the very best and most reliable phone i have ever purchaced...and to think it was 20 euros as an unblocked phone at a major phone outlet here in ireland...so good is this phone that most of my family members have picked up one as a back up phone for when the "hi tech" units give trouble...my own one happily chugs on for 3 weeks between charges on live standby and manages 1 full week of active use before needing "the wall"...from a talk and text point of use its without equal, and from flat battery to fully charged in 45 minutes is a bonus as well...i cant recommend this little gem highly enough...only critisism, small screen, otherwise 5 stars...

  • it's a totally good basic phone.. you can also block unwanted numbers... battery lasy for about 1 week and this phone is good for texter lovers because the keypad are soft and smooth and the spaces between numbers are perfectly fit on the thumb.. so if you're into security, basic phone... you will love it and it's a pocket size it's tiny cute.. and atylish comprae to other basic nokia phones.. but no offend.. that's only my opinion.

  • hei cklicious dis phone has mp3 ringtone but it doesnt mean that u can download or transfer mp3 ringtones on this phone thats impossible and wallpapers too..mp3 ringtones in this phone are preloaded but never be downloaded, u can only make calls and texts in this phone but other than that i dont think so (except on the torch light)

  • Hi. Where did you buy the phone? May Dad was asking me also to buy one because its cheap. Is it on Robinson's? or elsewhere?

  • Dear Users, I'd like to know if this phone has blocked on message and auto reject calls like samsung e2120? You can check the blocked message on Message/Settings/Blocked Number On auto call reject Application/Call/Auto Reject

  • Dear Samsung, I have been having problems with this model. Common complaints include: 1. Phone call doesn't end even when "end call" button is pressed, resorting to removing the the battery just to terminate the call, and then having to restart the phone � including the date and time settings. 2. At normal mode, phone sometimes doesn�t ring resorting to missed calls. 3. Sometimes when pressing �end call� button, phone doesn�t end right away, and you have to press the end call a few times. Otherwise, please see complaint #1. Please advise how to troubleshoot this problem without having to go to the service center if possible.

  • I just bought mine for only 900 pesos hahaha cheapest lol.. perfect phone for its price... featherlight thin and nice design... but im having an hard time using # as the space lol.. but all in all.. great! thumbsup!

  • the best basic phone ever! its better than the 1202 of nokia :)

  • i agree.. this phone is almost perfect. tect/call friendly.. BUT, this has software issues... after 3 days that i bought the phone, it just lost sgnl. i went to the service cnter, had it temporarily fixed. then after 2 weeks,same problem--NO SIGNAL. then had my unit replaced. still, had the same problem. so I quit and settled for nokia. same case w/ my brother's phone, same model.. :(

  • Nope!

  • there isn't a headset when you bought this phone?

  • I bought this model as E1081T. 500 messages and 1000 contacts. Key pad is good and soft. Battery stamina is good. Reception of calls is OK compared to many samsung phones - can talk even when signal indicator shows just one bar. Call quality is not great - distortion is definitely there. Ear piece volume to be adjusted and kept at middle level for less distortion. Definitely value for money for people who just need a phone for calls and messages.

  • i just bought such like this phone awhile ago and it's only (999php)just like cherrymobile p1 and torquee35 e55 it's good it has a nice features.. the keypad is soft this is a nice phone :) try to buy one

  • Samsung GT E1080i (that is my model). No USB, no mp3, no GPRS.

  • - can store 300 sms when sim is full - sms alert tone four choices - battery life 1 week (10-20sms a day, few calls) - good keypad - bright display

  • Now I'm thinking about mp3. Does this phone really supports mp3 ring-tones?

  • 1-Ringtone volume is ok, loud enough. 2-You can set password on: All Call log Phonebook Messages Memo

  • Very cool phone. Good design, keyboard is soft, yet precise so you don't end up hitting two buttons. Flashlight is actually white screen ON with maximum brightness and it's very useful. It has calendar, converter, timer, stopwatch, wallpapers, Theme's, power saving mode (but i don't know yet what it does). It has lot's of phone security options like: Phone lock SIM lock PIN lock Privacy lock One thing I'm working on now is to buy USB cable and try to transfer some wallpapers and mp3 ring-tones to phone. Overall very good phone with justified average score of 7,6. And just for 26 euro!!! The only minus is there is no reminder with alarm on this phone.

  • yes NO GPRS...I do not know why GSM Arena have typos

  • this is a top phone it has everything a blackberry have guys i love this phone.....uncle bites van naturena awe

  • it doesnt hav gprs right?

  • For everyone who have this phone can you please give me some feedback about it's call? Does it have a good earpiece? I want to replace my nokia 1280 because the earpiece of it is on the back and i can't hear the voice of the caller. i have to turn the phone which makes me look an idiot in able to hear the voice of the caller. Thanks in Advance for your Opinion..

  • This Handset has a, "Fake Call", Feature, as well as a, "Call Management", Feature, to allow You to keep track of how much Money, You're spending.

  • i have som Q 1- how is it's sound and ringtone volume? 2-can it set password for gallery, sms, and calling? 3- can it record calls (voice mail) when i'm sleeping or i cannot answer calls? tnx

  • I heartily appreciate your habit of following up. Honest! We can try another trick. I'm gonna give you my settings for the "Normal" profile. Would request you to follow the path EXACTLY and copy the settings EXACTLY. Menu > Settings > Profiles > highlight "Normal" > Options > Edit > Call alert type > Melody Call ringtone > Basic tone.mid Message alert type > Melody Message alert tone > Message 4 Keypad tone > Mute Volume > Call alert loudest > Message alert loudest > keypad tone zero/silent > Alert tone zero/silent > SAVE volume > BACK > Options > SAVE > now activate "Normal" profile. If this too doesn't work, we'll go for a format. Don't worry. I'll be available for a safe, secure, zero-loss format. But first, try the above settings. And don't forget to post the result here.

  • i just bought it yesterday for only (999PHP) approximately around $23 actually my 1st choice is the nokia 1280(because of its radio)but it is a bit expensive by 200-250PHP! the best feature of this phone IMO is the superb battery life!its a good phone for those who only needs calls and sms!and for a suncel(local network here) user like me who talks alot on the phone lolz!and the keypad just like what everybody said is soft and very comfy to use!if you want a cheap and quality secondary phone dont regret and buy this cool phone!sorry for my bad english!

  • i already tried that. and already save every setting too. but no luck. is this problem did not occur on your device? because strangely I brought my device to samsung service center and they say it's normal. thx 4 ur answers anyway

  • the keypad is so soft.. you'll really enjoy it.. trust me.. I've just bought it yesterday.

  • does it have good keyboard?

  • Solution to your 1st problem. Menu > Settings > Profiles > highlight your desired profile that you want to customize > Options > Edit > Call alert type > Choose Melody. > Volume > Call alert edit volume > Save. Menu > Settings > Profiles > highlight your desired profile that you want to customize > Options > Edit > Volume > Call alert edit volume > Save. Using SAVE is important to get the desired options set. Then activate the profile. Solution to your 2nd problem is not available. Once the SIM memory gets full with incoming SMS, then messages will automatically get stored in phone memory. Prior to that, SMS storage will have to be manually managed. Sorry, mate. Hope the answer was of some help.

  • how do i remove network lock

  • yes. i already do that. and still the same. i try "vibration and then melody" and "vibration and melody" too. but no luck

  • your call alert is set to increasing melody. Change your settings. Go to settings-> profiles-> call alert type -> change to melody.

  • oh yeah. i forgot. i didn't set the ringtone profile on "increasing melody". but like i say, the ringtone volume is always low first, and then become loud after 3-4 second

  • hey. just get mine today. i have some question. 1. When there is incoming call, the ringtone volume is low but after 3-4 second it become louder. are this problem for all unit or my unit only? 2. How to setting incoming message to store in phone memory by default? The message always stored in SIM Memory and i have to move it one by one to phone memory Thx b4 for your answers

  • hello, can someone tell me how many messages this phone can store in the inbox? tq

  • To sam: thanx for the comment,now I know how to use the torch. I just bought this phone cause my c510 had terrible problems. I bought it to use while I buy another (I like them with camera, mp3, etc.) but this is very nice and it was only something like 27usd. very good for that price.

  • t first sorry for my bad english can we set mp3 ringtone on E1160? is typing with this keyboard easy? 3-how is battery life?for example 4 days? tnx

  • to pio: u can buy this phone in any mall near your place.

  • i bought it for 999 pesos. it's cool, it has nice keypads.

  • Nice phone. I have a Nokia E63 for primary, and for secondary network the E1080. Simple, eficient, but most of all, THE BATTERY IS INCREDIBLE ! With some calling, text messaging, 14 days. Great job for Samsung. It is the best phone for me.

  • I have no complaints about this phone, and it really is a great basic phone for anybody to use. Been using this phone for almost a month now. Worth every single peso I've paid for when I bought it. Granted it doesn't have a lot of things we could ever hope for (Bluetooth, mp3 player notwithstanding), but at least you'll be able to call or text your friends or family. That's the bottom line. Thanks, Samsung!!!

  • bought that phone for $20 12 days ago, still didn't need to recharge the battery. It is an amazing phone, I bought for my mom and now I envy her. If you need a basic phone, that's the one to buy. EXCELLENT in all ways

  • just have it couple days ago, it's really the best low end phone. All the basic need is completed, it's price to performance thing, worth to buy, and you'll get extra security setting that made it personal thing to used, if you know how. Love it so much

  • I am agree with u its really a very good cell phone in this price, u know how much its price here in Dubai, it is just $13.35,,,how is that?????

  • i just got this phone and so far i'm really loving it! aside from the fact that it's dirt cheap, it has a really long battery life. it's really easy to use and it's also very light. it has all the basic features a cellphone should have. it's just what i need. :) if you need an extra phone for calling and texting.. and maybe a few more useful functions like the calculator, a digital memopad, calendar and stopwatch/timer, then this is the phone for you. Here in the Philippines, it's sold at around 25$ or 1290php. very cool phone. i love it!

  • Can anybody let me know that how I can remove the blocked number from Rejected numbers because I have added a number by mistake and now unable to restore it or remove it from block list

  • during a call just press up or down scroll key to adjust the volume.you can change or choose ringtones on the profiles of the phone

  • this phone is really way better than nokia 1202,1208,1200 and other similar phones in this price range.superb call clarity,long battery life,plus added features like privacy,call & text blocker and fake call.i definitely recommend it for a basic phone

  • I am planning to buy this phone...my priority is for talk time and browsing..is it good for both.and wat price i can pay for it..pls advise

  • Hi there, I just bought this phone and it seems lieka good bargain, however I have two questions: 1. Can I turn off the sound when I press the buttons on the keypad? 2. Is there a way I can choose from different ringtones? There is no option for ringones at all, or I can't find it. Your answers will be appreciated!

  • i just bought this phone for 1,200 petot ... and i like it a lot the battery last more than a week ... the torch is brighter than those of nokia's ... but i have some issues .. i cant receive 2 part text messages ... and sometimes my friends cant reach me .. they say my phone keeps on rejecting their calls .. hmm

  • Overall the speficiation is over Good, but i still problem to install Java Application. Is the true this phone Java Support?

  • Nokia are well-known for their popularity. But they're fone's quality is low, unlike samsung. Maybe samsung isn't innovative as others, but it's really a quality-fone ^_^

  • I bought this fone last month and I find it good. The battery's life is long, it actually stands for 3-4 days. I'm just wondering how can i put mp3 tones in it, as according to its specs. Anyone knows?

  • yes

  • this phone can support headset. this phone is a great value for your money. I bought this phone for only P1,200 in greenhills theater mall in Philippines. This phone accompanies my samsung star and i guess this is the greatest basic phone I've ever had. I bought it 2 days ago and I've been using it ever since. I think I'll just store my samsung star because this phone is very convenient and fits well inside my pocket. Looks good also.. I advice all of you to buy this phone. Well i guess not as your primary phone but for your secondary use. And 1 more thing, the torch is great.. Much brighter than those nokia cheap phones. Buy this phone now! Because...... It's cheap! very cheap. For the very minimal amount, you will get: 1. A colored phone 2. 1 year warranty from samsung 3. Privacy lock and other locks that high end samsung phones have. 4. Easy to grip and easy to use. 5. Very long battery life 6. Very good during calls, very loud and crisp sound. 7. Nice keypad 8. Compact fits anywhere. 9. And of course, nothing beats like going back to the basics. This phone is cool.

  • in south-asian version this handset doesn't have ANY connectivity : -gprs/wap -sms backup by provided usb port... also the sms capacity is 100 msgs only. is this the value of its cheap (28 usd only) price ? but anyway the torch has brite light and more pointed than nokia's.

  • can this phone support headset? i think it cannot, and it really sucks because your always holding the phone whenever your busy and at the same time you have someone on the line.

  • Menu setting phone setting language

  • hi! can anyone tell me about its battery life? i'm planning to buy this phone as my 2nd phone.. I'm currently using a samsung star but it's really uncomfortable using for calls and i don't want to abuse my phone because i love my star so much. So i'm planning to buy this one. I'll use this phone mainly if ever for making calls because i do a lot of calls than text messaging.. So does this have a long battery life? This caught my attention because here in Philippines, it cost only about more or less $20 or Php 1,290. Pls reply, asap

  • best choice if ur on a budget , dont hate ....

  • GREAT!!! On this price, nokia gives 1202, and LG gives KP500. 1202 has no extra features like fake call, privacy lock, mobile tracker. KP500 has no torch light and hard keypad. So, Samsung is the winner!

  • Everything is fine but i don't find the browser option.in a web we found the data definition but we never found.

  • Waste of money. Why buy cheap garbage like this? Its a prehistoric phone! Samsung are not very innovative. Nokia already has lots of phones like this on the market.

  • Has anyone got a fix for no network found when selecting manual in network settings? Great basic phone except the signal's gone off after three months of use.

  • very good phone...........worth for money

  • This phone has a very LONG battery life..2weeks of battery life if you used it purely for texting, so just imagine how long if you used it also for making and receiving calls..

  • Got this in the great Samsung mobe phone, very very easy to text and call (I think the keypad is dustproof as well)..screen is only CSTN type, not as good as the TFT's but you can manage..random wallpaper everytime you go to standby mode..don't use the keypad lock as I think it might deteriorate the lowermost left button key as you need to press and hold it to unlock the keypad; I agree with the suggestion here that the privacy lock for for the phonebook should just be activated instead..bright torch compare with nokia's torch-enabled phone..LOUD loudspeaker..calendar is just that, a calendar (won't be able to add appointments and such)..nice calculator, way better than nokia's.. multiple phonebook..games included as well as gameplay is sub par (blame it on the CSTN LCD)..overall nice phone..oh by the way, ringtones are MIDI with one MP3 tone, and when the tones are played they can be really loud but without deterioration of quality..

  • 1. click [OK] on keypad to access menu 2. select bottom right icon [looks like bolt and nut] 3. press 4 on keypad 4. press 1 on keypad 5. select english and save.

  • no you cannot download any wallpaper into it. you only can use the default ones :)

  • during a phonecall. just press the OK button on keypad, it will prompt you whether you wanna activate loudspeaker or not hope this helps.

  • will you pls tell me about the language change in this model pls

  • Hi. I just got the E1080T. Great little phone. But the too basic instruction sheet doesn't say how to turn on the speakerphone during a call. Can anyone help?

  • yes, i believe it has speed dial... it's under the menu Phonebook > Favorites... #1 is reserved for Voice Server... #2 - #9 is for you to screw around with... :) great cellphone, just bought it yesterday... the only minus thing i found is the absence of ability to change the wallpaper with my own picture... i wanna put my son's cute face there...

  • Does this have speed dial?

  • i bought two units for my son but after a mo. both phones became useless due to a NO NETWORK issue, has anyone had a similar problem? how did you resolve this?

  • Anyone please help me...iz there any way to download wallpaper to this cell i don't like the default wallpapers,usb is mentioned in specs but i don't KNOW y it doesn't work...

  • i just want share what i understand how to speed up this cell,my opinion is that don't use automatic keypad lock instead use password on required positions,like cal records,messages and contacts....what i think is that automatic keypad lock slows down this cell so don't use it,if required manually lock ur keypad. take care and bye

  • Samsung E1080 is way better. While both are loud, Nokia 12xx produces unpleasant hi pitch sound while Samsung sound is warmer. It also has extremy long battery life and ability to set security password for almost everything inside your phone. Light years ahead in the look department too.

  • the best cheapest suncell phone eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 1. click [OK] on keypad to access menu 2. select bottom right icon [looks like bolt and nut] 3. press 4 on keypad 4. press 1 on keypad 5. select english and save.

  • You can't

  • how to use wap or gprs in this phone ?????? plzzz guide me

  • Great battery life for standby time..

  • hey, can somebody confirm (better if you're from the philippines) that this phone can be connected via PC Studio 3? from the samsumg ph website (http://ph.samsungmobile.com/supports/softwarema­nuals/software.do?sw_type=SW) it shows the PC Studio 3 as a supported software. if it does, can i send SMS via PC Studio 3? tnx guys. btw, i own a samsung D780 (Dual Sim) and that one connects and sends SMS via PC Studio 3 :)

  • Shortcut 2 turn on flashlight: make sure ur keypad are unlocked, then press n hold up on the directional pad until the light comes on. Its the same process to turn it off. READ THE MANUAL...its short n it explains evrything

  • HEY there does anyone know how to put the flashlight on

  • one of the best phones i ever had at this price very cheap

  • just bought it this week... great phone... keypad is awesome... battery life is amazing. display and torchlight is bright and very useful.. very loud speakers.. WOW!!! nice job samsung! for only $25, this is an awesome phone

  • at samsung great sale? right?...3 weeks before it drained?...got this fone too as a free unit upon purchasing jet...but never really tried using it

  • got this at 50% discount during its product launch.. for a basic phone it performs very well..battery life is pretty amazing; I do lots of texting & minimal phone calls and still it took me almost 3 weeks to drain the juice before charging it again (though actual charging time takes more or less 2 hours)..good keypad feel, and the loudspeaker is really LOUD! my favorite feature? FAKE CALLS! Now its so easy for me to get out of a boring meeting or date..and the torch light is really bright in contra-distinction with nokia's 1662.. my gripe? to unlock the keypad one should press & hold the asterisk key (which I'm a bit apprehensive to do, as the keys are really soft & holding them down for a while might destroy the flexpad underneath, like what happens with all Sony Ericsson models)..and the calendar is just that, a calendar..one can't set it up to record a task & set an alarm..oh well, you can't have everything..

  • can i use this phone for modem?

  • Very slooooow on menus - some key pressing are lost - like unit is not responding, next key press after a moment works. After this testing i gave up on it, not care about anything else on this phone!

  • can i use this phone for modem?

  • is good me luv it long time

  • that's why I don't like new model from samsung. The font is too thin to read for me who have a poor eyesight.

  • Fm radio is important to be on top.

  • thin text fonts when creating messages. is there a way to make the font thicker? or larger?

  • in fact the samsung that has fm radio is the e1085 it is a very basic phone dont wish for much ok people

  • dear people i been using this mobile but this mobile is on optus in aus, on prepaid it dosent have gprs or wap i didnt find no where is good for calls and sms and it has great battery ,overall good basic mobile cheers

  • I don't know for sure about varied spec but we got a same spec with you here in Vietnam.

  • does it vary regionally ?? mine in indonesia got no radio, java, and gprs and elses... did the specs correct??

  • Hmmm... No Radio...

  • for those who baught the phone, for how many days actually the battery works? and please someone tell me if this phone will be available in Romania or not thx

  • There is no radio in this set...please correct your specification.

  • 3 things that are gonna amaze you: battery life, call quality and security (password for protecting message box, phonebook, cal log...). You might like the look too, I do. Look and feel great in hand. Be aware that this phone doesn't have calendar (it actually has a calandar but it's just for date, not for plannings and schedules)

  • i just bought this phone after i read the positive feedback it had on this site, I am amazed of what the features it DOESNT have.. awesome phone.. highly reccomended

  • i just bought this phone, because of the feedback i read on this site, I cant believe how good the features it DOESNT HAVE... WOW, top phone!

  • damn its the best fone in such an affordable price, i was reali lookin for the features this fone has, its simple, smart n fast aswell, if u people lookin for a simple fone with good features go for this, i bought it jus today n its kool

  • This phone has everything I need and does it WELL! Easy to use,better buttons than in Nokias,logical software that reminds me about the good times of old Motorola and Siemens phones.Cost only 30� here in Finland.It is nothing for a good basic phone.I do not need camera/radio/MP3 in my phone,so this is IT.Thank U Samsung,U will be No:1 in phones on this road!!!

  • r u mad why r u compare hero

  • A lot of young students and working people in my country are using this type of phone. They're cheap, durable, have good battery life and probably, the look too. I got myself a few of this type, even I do own a smartphone. Expensive phones usually are untrustable as a phone.

  • if you trow this on a lake it makes waves.....

  • This phone is better than the htc hero, any day of the week

  • simple!

  • Price is $27 in Viet Nam. I think at the moment, Samsung is making better budget phones than Nokia and of course, the rest. Better price and better voice quality during call (warmer sound). Very durable too.

  • the perfect budget phone!
