Samsung E1107 Crest Solar - User Reviews

  • please can you help me to find link or wepe like amazon because i wanna pay one >>

  • I still have this phone, and it is still working at its best!

  • I want this mobile

  • it has a problem that while charging with sunlight its display's brightness was too much

  • but i dont want this mobile

  • I want this mobile phone

  • Its a good phone to be kept as a backup in case of emergency as it has a solar panel for charging.. But I have listen some complaints about its panel, that it doesnt last for long and gets creepy in its early stages.. Any ways its good to have it as its price is too low.. :)

  • Yes

  • I've always been a Nokia loyalist, but this phone is brilliant. I don't need GPRS or camera, my smartphone does that for me, this is a perfect spare for long treks. It's great that the Koreans, being as close to the equator as I am, see things in a better perspective than Nokia, which lives closer to the pole.

  • restarting problem and network problem

  • The solar cell on my phone failed after two weeks, so maybe it is just a "branding panel" at the bottom to hear "WOW" and "cool, that's the future" etc. from your friends... for samsung and not for you...

  • frnds pls tell me how can u the Gprs to this mobile

  • hi, how can install java on this phone, its in specifications!!! and were is the browser which isn't in the menu but this is in the spec.!!!!!

  • here here

  • What really good about this phone that if you got smart cell and you need a spare for (just in case) phone, just buy E1107 and keep it in your car. Believe me dude, you gonna need it one day

  • flash light is on the top .. i have seen this cell overall its excellent and value of money only AED 100 :)

  • Hey.., Can we charge the phone from Solar Power when the phone's switched off...........? Anyone experience that?

  • Flash is on the top of the phone in antenna area. Really nice thing is that it's solar charging.....

  • flash light is ther may be you are seeing in the sky and writing i think flashlight is more powerful than any released by nokia sony ericsson

  • where the hell is the flashlight ????????? ???????????? ??????????????

  • This cell is really handy. The small screen is the only draw back :((

  • just bought it yesterday it was nice handy and light weight

  • 1 hour of solar charging can use to 10 minutes talk time you can use solar charging in outdoor like that but you can't charge thru solar to get full batt. just for emergency cases.

  • Gud Phone at this price...Gud Torch & battery backup..Yet to test its solar charging capacity..Not very slim but i am sure this will be loved by basic phone users...Thanks

  • It`s an excellent phone. I don`t need a cam on a phone, I don`t use it; the same about 3G and other stuff. It`s cheap; doesn`t seems easy to break; Have a very brite flashlight; The battery, with sun`s help, lasts very longer; Good hands free function.

  • 400 msgs v can save in this

  • Solar charger is very effactive thing it dosent need electric power for chariging.Simply very ideal mobile for long journy.

  • its got a bug..it keeps on flashing 41000101

  • N how many sms can be save into this phone?most of korea phone have no share memori system for sms,so cant save many sms

  • What's the different betwen the general charging with the solar charging?

  • how many smses can this hp support???

  • i believe this phone does not support wap

  • WRONG, its talktime after charging 1 hour solarpower will last for 10 minutes. Thats differnt from standby time. Talktime means the time it can last while havimg phone calls continuosly. It means that while calling someone it can last for 10 minutes continuosly. What more if youre not calling. So the phone lasts more than 10 minutes while in standby. :)

  • wonderful phone very good for camping and long trips you don't need anything els than light to charge it seriously a very good idea i hope all Samsung phone work on solar power in the future

  • Extremely nice phone at this price

  • I want to use this phone as a modem. Bought a data cable but plugging in my phone through data cable doesnt help. just says unrecognized usb device, through i dont see un-identified usb device in device manager.

  • All right, found the solution. It's in the sms setting. For the text msg, you have 3 options, GSM-alphabet, Unicode, or Auto. If it's set to be unicode, then the no. of msg characters will be limited to 70. Choosing the other two would solve the problem. :)

  • It only allows at most 70characters for each sms(though it allows multiple SMS sending up to 6 pieces), i.e. I have to split one sms(normally around 160characters allowed by the network provider) into 2-3, which would cost me 2-3 times more than it should be!! :( Would there be any way to solve the problem? Thanks!

  • such a nice cell phone but there is no browser in this phone

  • there is no answer machine in this phone

  • Just got it in store today. feels great, and light, looks great, works easy, it is cheap, it's got a led torch, AND IT's GREEN!!!!!! :-p i certainly get me one, even if it doesn't has all the stuff my blackberry has, it's just a fun phone, and i'm looking forward to testing it! :) great phone for older people that want a simple phone, with good battery span, or people that forget to charge the battery in time, it should even load it's battery with artifficial light like TL and LED. i'm also looking forward to the blue earth, but what i really want to see is a shockproof, water tight and dust tight, also with recycled materials, and a 2Mp cam, with video, and little flash light, and that all with a solar panel on the back, specially for those who need it and care about our beloved earth! kind regards, davy

  • Voice memo? Are you sure? I buyed this phone, but i cannot find any menuitem related to voice memo...

  • I bought one E1107 last weekend in Belgium. The salesman told me after he checked gsamarena that there is GPRS for this phone, while I could not find it anywhere in the mannual, or the phone. Could anyone help me here? Many thanks in advance!

  • now, the price in roxy indonesia only 499.000 idr

  • I bought this phone about 10 days a go, and I still have full batery without charging, only solar power!!!

  • Leave about solar charging, can someone tell on normal battery backup with correct inputs as they say, it has latest tech battery with high talk time.

  • It can be charged like a normal cellphone too �� I think that it does not overheat if you keep the back on the upside ��

  • What if you need to charge the phone at night? Does it overheat and stuff if you leave it out in the sun for too long?

  • 1 more thing. You can see in specs that the samsung e1107 has Browser with WAP 2.0/xHTML . Well it doesnt have one. There is NO browser in that phone.

  • I bouht that phone today for 9 euro by the largest Slovenian mobile operator Mobitel. Great phone for camping, snowboarding when u go on holidays etc..Its really quick, with great Radio and keypad, also the torch is wonderfull. Primary phone is still iPhone 3G :D

  • tell about awnser machine

  • this is low end category phone, but the innovation is very good, this solar doesnt have much feature, only flashlight and mobile tracker, but this 2 function quite good enough for me

  • in phils. the price is php 2,850 available in cebu at berlein e-mall and country mall also in manila at berlein cubao

  • In indonesia 1st launch price is Rp. 800.0000

  • Frnkly speaking i am a nokia user but i really appreciate samsung teams effort in launching this phone .all d best keep up d good work

  • very much useful and far sighted feature

  • how much it's cost in indonesia?

  • very good gadget

  • i really love the solar. it is very useful for offshore engineer like me. maybe with push over cell function will make this phone a boom not only for me but all my fellow engineers.

  • Which type of the Solar Powered is ? Serial connected or Singal,tks

  • Which type of the Solar Powered is ? Serial connected or Singal,tks

  • love the idea of solar...but no good in my trousers

  • does anybody here have an idea of what a low-end solar chargin phone means? Look at it, it�s not an gadget-phan ultra-expensive device, only a phone, it looks like a piece of crap, but it{s solar charged. It means that kind of technologies are avery time more affordable, and capable to be p�roduced. It�s yjust a symbol of change, tellin us that the change it{s really happenning. Undesrstand it that way, befor complaining bout the lack of 8.0 mpx or askin�for 10 hours talk with 10 miun. charge.

  • Poor product as solar powered, also not equipped with additional memory.

  • i think its great, this is the future my friends it starts with samsung-solar!!! i hope in the future they can put something like a walky-talky inside aswell :-)

  • plz increses the talking time about 10hr.

  • If your genius inventors can make it in 10 minutes charging time (in the sun of course) and 1 hour talk time, this will make an explosive impact to the global market. -dansevero-

  • My dear brothers .As you ppl knoW THAT Summer season lasts for a ong time,if you have less charge remain in your phone and you are talking to some one,just go out and and charge your phone in the sun. Its a very step by Samsung.Dont ever think negative .One must appreciate Samsung for this innovation. Samsung is a very huge barnd name,what ever they do,all in the interst of People. YOU MUST consider the efforts what they made. If set runs or not,that is another issue but atleast efforts must be appreciated.

  • Obviously, this phone was made to bethrown at your rooftops. if you buy this phone and you are not satisfied w/ it's specs (i mean, who would?) you just gotta throw it on the roof or at the backyard for it to be charged and at the same time, let it rust. :D

  • It's not really worth it. What I would do is buy a cheap phone with similar phone function inc. radio etc. It only costs less than 30 pounds in UK. Then buy a solar charger with different adapters (plugs)so that it can charge all kinds of phones, even common batteries. Advantage of my solution is: much faster charging, lower cost and environment friendly - one charger for all!

  • You are not totally dependent 100% on solar PV charging with this phone, aren't you?... use your heads guys...

  • Charging 1 hour can be used the phone AT LEAST 10 MINUTES... it is common sense... have pity on you guys...

  • watta weirdo!!! Samsung makes their name worst to worse!!!

  • hey... how can the talktime be just 10 mins.. means v need to stand in the sun to continue talking.its just now possible... if this is true, this phone is a total flop...

  • how can u solar charge the handset ????

  • Solar PV-powered... meaning it can stand the ambient temperature outdoors... good work Samsung... it is better than nothing to prove... You're really the No. 1!!! Keep it up!!!

  • Probably only thru GPRS I guess..!

  • Is not the first Solar phone on Earth, Sharp has much better Solar phone than this. Is ugly.

  • Actually, you're wrong there, there were phones like these at the starting of 2002/03 onwards.

  • Relax dude, relax, read the specs carefully, it doesn't support MP3. Samsung wasted your time and mine, LOL

  • What the hell were samsung thinking? This is like an embarassment the ultimate samsung fones and what kind of name is Crest Solar?? Come on samsung, you can do better than this

  • this may be is an experimental phone. if its good theyl improve it (put more specs) if not then discontinue. every thing starts at basic and worthless, well we dont know... this may be a step to a new era of phone ahahahahahha. come on think positive on samsung a bit. hahahahaha....... XD

  • i thingk this phone is only made to do the basic things like texting! this may fit on philippino people because filipino text 12 to 18 hours a day and other phones with short battery life wont make it. so i thing the solar thing or what ever they call it will help and keep up the battery life a little bit longer, maybe... hoping that the phone wont break out very easy and wishing that it wont melt under the sourging heat of the sun. XD

  • and how exactly does samsung want us to put mp3 ringtones at least on this phone which has NO CONNECTIVITY at all.no usb no bluetooth no infrared nothing.and suppose we can in a weird magical way,what is the memory availavle? 2 mb? like the previous versions? its rediculous!!

  • first but the worst. samsung just wants the title to be first. haha.

  • hai, you can charge the phone using the standard electricity charger, and the talk time will be around 3.5 hours, only for solar charging the talk time is upto 10 mins(just for emergency purpose)

  • poor phone, at least for the solar charging feature

  • This is some kind of a joke right?!Better performance solar batteries are invented so what is this charging 1h talk time 10 min?

  • id like too see that on the omnia hd

  • Might have weak feautures but its the first solar power phone.Solar power hmmmmmm good phone.

  • lacks more info

  • Talk time 10 minute? am i right :D
