For me, there were a few points that had to be absolutely true:
- Slider or block. The fumbling when opening a clamshell phone me is simply too cumbersome since one to two hands need (except Motorola Pebl)
- It had a revocation list with the care I can block unwanted callers
- It should have proper keys and no marked areas. I do not want Cross T-keyboard, no touch screen and a pen.
- I wanted a mobile phone with color.
- Since there seems to be the CRL function only in Samsung, also the manufacturer was given.
- The phone should have a certain size. The cellphones are seemingly getting smaller and eventually disappear at times one calls in the ear canal and must be surgically removed ... No. It should be a cell phone that one finds in a handbag.
After a few days looking for my S3100 noticed. It seemed to be exactly what I imagined. I ordered it here and with the usual Amazon lightning delivery and despite the snow, it was two days later already there.
I eagerly öffente the box and I tell you - I'm thrilled.
The mobile phone is nice in the hand. Although it is slightly heavier than the SGH-E250i, but that's pleasant. Also, it can be easily opened with one hand and push. The pressure points of the buttons are clear. Mir is the software also not too slow. Probably because I so the by-the-menus-Skitterer am not like other :-) The look is classy and elegant.
The display is large and easy to read. The quick menu is pleasant because you can open and write the window for a text message with a single click. An additional MicroSD can also kick it. This, however, I do not own and will buy me only when I see that I need them. I do not use the mobile phone as an MP3 player. So I think that this is not necessary with me.
I'm someone who writes with his cell phone only phone and SMS. I do not want to surf the Internet so great. I particularly like, however, the Google Search link. With it, you can google the lottery numbers, the postal code or the code of Puffeldimuckel times fast times. The Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa, Friendster and Myspace links I have not tried because I am not logged in there. I find that I must not be present everywhere and I do not care who else is there already. ;-)
For small snapshots the camera is then used as a wallpaper good enough. For "real" photos I use the Canon PowerShot. The radio function and the Emfpangsleistung are good, the sound as well.
I highly recommend this phone highly enough. It has enough features for normal phone users can, easy to operate, open and program. For other tastes, there is the part also in pink and white and it stings so out of the silver-gray-black pabulum.
Only disturbing was that the AC charger from the SGH-E did not suit the S3100. That each manufacturer annoying enough, still has its own charging socket, is clear to me. But that now happens within the model range of a producer, was new to me.
