Unlocked Samsung Xplorer B2100 Solid Extreme Anti-Shock Waterproof Quad-Band Phone Red -International version with Embedded Flashlight Review

I work as a dive instructor, and I have lost count of the cell phones that have either been 'drowned' or salt damaged in the past 6 years since I started my business.
This phone is awesome, it's waterproof as long as the port that covers the battery charging access is firmly in place, so if it should 'go for a swim it's much more likely to survive. My phone has already had a couple of water encounters that would have killed lesser phones.
The unit is sealed so I don't have to worry about using it with salty / dirty / oily hands as it can be rinsed off. The case fits nicely in the hand, and the keys are good size.
I would recommend this phone for boating, dirty or wet out door pursuits, and even mechanics and other folks involved in jobs where your phone is likely to get mucky!
The battery has a pretty good life. The phone also has a torch, the only thing that it lacks is a bottle opener!
So impressed am I that I have bought additional phones for my staff / business.

This is not having a 5 MP camera instead it's only have a 2 MP camera. Features are all same as Nokia C5-03 with only difference in Camera resolution and Wi-Fi. There is no Wi-Fi in this version which is absurd. There is no point of buying Nokia C5-04 instead of Nokia C5-03.
Amazon listed this product with wrong details of 5 MP camera which is actually confusing. I am returning this product due to this.

Motorola CLIQ DEXT MB220 Unlocked Phone with Android, 5MP Camera, 3G, Wifi and QWERTY Keyboard - Unlocked Phone - US Warranty - Black Review

Like a fool getting into his first real relationship i invested in this mobile phone too quickly without really knowing anything i was about to get involved in.
design:
the build quality and general aesthetics are among the better designs Motorola Mobile Division has come up with. aside from the nearly useless D-pad, this is a solid slider phone with a surprisingly elegant keyboard.
performance:
as a mid-range Android device the Cliq comes with basic specs and offers lots of features for social networking via Motorola's proprietary skin MotoBlur. however, the longer i had the phone the more i noticed its short falls. this could have been a decent and mildly competitive device had Motorola offered updates as the Android OS base continued to evolve. over time the Cliq suffered from massive lag, regular random reboots, features becoming non-responsive, apps crashing and a plethora of other things that make this an unbearable mistake.
overall:
owning this for close to a year i've recently jumped to the Nexus S to find what a true Android experience is like. granted every OEM developing Android phones puts on their own skin, but from my experience MotoBlur is the worst of them. its heavy and clunky like an old truck that just needs to be put down.
there's no price that this device is worth (even for free). unless you want to experience the frustration of an orphaned device and video record yourself raging on it, it would be in best interest for you to turn away and go elsewhere for a device with competitive specs and good OEM support.

I've had this phone for about a month now, I am fairly pleased with its performance. I am somewhat demanding of my phones and always look to get the most bang for my buck. With the Tocco Lite I can honestly say that it is worth the money. The only complaint that I have got to date is an issue it has with its blue-tooth. I use a hands free blue-tooth earpiece that also has headphones with it the Samsung WEP870, great little gadget, the sound quality is excellent. The problem that I noticed right away is that once you turn off the MP3 player, unless you will use the headpiece, you absolutely must turn off the blue-tooth on the phone as it will eat up the battery within hours. When I did it the first time, the phone glitched. Even though the blue-tooth icon disappeared on the screen, the phone's battery continued to drain at a rate of one bar in about 2 hours. After trying a few things I finally came to a conclusion that the only way to turn off you blue-tooth after you used it with MP3 player is to restart the phone completely. That of-course resets the arrangement of the gadgets(a.k.a. apps for smart phones) and any other system setting that you have changed.
Besides this one little issue, the phone performs fairly well. Oh, another thing, it works pretty slowly if you are trying to use anything else with the MP3 player working.
Hope this is useful.

My phone is not working. I have Att carrier and prior to purchase called Amazon to verify that is working with Att. Phone is coming from some Muslim country, and is equipped with a Quran, prayer times Adnah and Du'a, Qiblah direction !! plus can't remove Abu Dhabi from World clock to set USA city and time. It is annoying, because I m orthodox. Showing Abu Dhabi local time, calendar is from 1980 so I can't change date nor time. Very disappointing, called customer service and they e mailed me prepaid return label and they will refund the phone.

1. The user interface is poorly designed. The configuration settings cannot undo or go back to upper layer, always have to go back to top manual. That means any mistake you make cannot be corrected, and you have to do it again..
2. Contacts font size is too big, touch screen becomes useless, i.e. you cannot move the manual by touching on screen, which is designed for...
3. "Talk" and "Hangup" keys on the top panel are so sensitive, most time when I picked incoming calls, always either picked the calls before checking phone numbers or hung up calls accidentally...
Overall this is a very poorly designed phone. The phone seems having a lot features, for me handling calls
is the most important feature (the reason I am using it) other features just nice to have. Therefore, I would not buy it if user interfaces/Phone buttons are poorly designed.

I have just contacted the seller for their policy/procedures for returning faulty equipment. You should note that if you purchase from Mobile City Online they charge a 15% re-stocking fee for returns; I am waiting to hear back from them regarding this fee & to see if applies to faulty equipment. I received the phone on the first and on the fifth am looking to return a phone with a mind of its own.
This is a small slider phone, very cute if that matters to you, but I am not happy with it's performance. It does have good sound quality, but it keeps shutting itself off without warning. So far it has shut down when I slid it open to add to the address book, shut off in the middle of a phone call and I have picked it up at least 3 other times where it had shut itself off. The battery was fully charged, and it does hold a charge fairly well, it just started beeping a low battery warning today.
I purchased this phone to replace an Eternity that I own that also shuts down without warning, dials numbers at random, among other issues. I am desperate to replace a faulty phone that is beyond warranty and cannot wait until upgrade eligibility in March, but am not willing to settle for another phone witha mind of its own. Also a word of caution to internet users- this is an unlocked international phone that may not be able to support internet service with your carrier.

While item is in working condition, by "refurbished to manufacturer" standards, I assume the phone would look as if it had not been used. Unfortunately, the bezel of the phone is extremely scratched, as is the back. Also, the "home" button is harder to press than should be. Again, the item is functional, but don't be fooled by terminology of the seller. My item came in USED condition.

This phone is simply great. Touch-screen and a physical qwerty keyboard are the perfect combination for a cellphone. I use the phone with AT&T but I only use text and calls which are great. The touchscreen is very, very responsive. The phone is overall easy to use. Oh and the battery is amazingly great! The phone has 5 battery bars and it still has 3 bars with the phone on 3 consecutive days without recharging.
The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the keyboard is somewhat hard to use for the first time, the text input is a few microseconds delayed when you use the keyboard and the keys are very sensitive.
Overall very good cellphone!

Thru the years I found Nokia to make some of the best phones and this one is not an exception. I bought it because it is a 4 band (world) unlocked GSM, very light and small indeed, full touchscreen, responsive, quick and accurate typing, overall the phone works fast, has a bit slow GPS (when not assisted) with free maps and nice voice navigation, good WiFi, working radio, good loud speaker and call quality, decent email (old style) and normal camera, also the battery supposed to last longer. Overall, it does well what it supposed to do for the price of $180. There is one important thing, the US model has UMTS (3G bands) 900/1900/2100, so the 1900 works with AT&T, but no 850 AT&T or 1700 T-mobile. Strange, but the box label and some of the Amazon description are both wrong as they show 1700. I confirmed that with Nokia as well and the phone is working fast on AT&T 3G on 1900. The phone is made in Mexico, that's fine. It has the plastic look, but it is the simple clean design and the cute shape that makes it look neat too. I am not sure why there is no variety of colors on the US market like elsewhere, that is rather frustrating. The operating system is the typical Nokia, no news there.

It is unfortunate more mobile phones are not made to be waterproof and shockproof with a built-in fm radio, as the Samsung B2100 is. We had high hopes when we purchased this "unlocked" mobile phone through Amazon.com, however, upon receipt we soon realized it was only partially unlocked. We spoke to AT&T Customer Support over the phone, took it to our local AT&T store, followed by taking it to a Best Buy Mobile store, and all three sources, and their multiple representatives all concluded the phone was not fully unlocked. This is a UK based cell phone, and we are US based customers currently on the AT&T network. The phone is unlocked in the sense that we can make and receive phone calls without issue, but not fully unlocked in that the phone does not permit us to send or receive photo messages, nor can we connect to the internet with it. When AT&T and Best Buy Mobile Reps went into the menu settings of the phone, to where they needed to adjust the corresponding tower/network code to remedy these issues, the UK code was grayed out (0.0.00.0) and therefore unchangeable to a US one. I then e-mailed Samsung USA and Samsung UK with no response. AT&T phone based customer support was unable to proceed with any step-by-step instructions, as this UK phone is not in their US database, which is why we then went to our local AT&T store instead, per their request. When our local AT&T store could not help us in any way, despite the best efforts of their entire in-store team, we then proceeded to Best Buy Mobile, who also tried vigilantly, without success to address this issue. We also Googled this issue, and found a few other folks who had these same issues, but nobody seemed to be offering any real solutions. On that note, we even posted our issue on Fixya.com, with no response of any kind. Having exhausted our efforts, today I called Amazon.com who was kind enough to e-mail us the necessary information to begin our full-refund process. It's just unfortunate we could not find a fix for this issue, as I am sure it's out there somewhere, as we would have liked to keep the phone. None of the US phones currently for sale at our local AT&T store or local Best Buy Mobile are said to be waterproof, as this one is, and all of their "military grade" phones are flip-phones, with minimal water resistance.
If you do not care about being unable to send/receive photo messages, or connect to the internet, and just want a durable waterproof phone, this may be the phone for you. There's a "Samsung B2100 Review" currently on YouTube, which I will attempt to link below, showing the phone fully submerged in a tank of water, receiving a phone call, and still working perfectly when they take it back out. Oh, and it has a built-in flashlight too, just in case (no camera flash though).

~~~THE STORY, AMOUNG OTHER THINGS~~~~~
It is a nice phone, I took my 5 star review down after dealing with Tiger-direct the company that sells the phone but I can't resubmit another truer review. Anyway, this is the only format I can speak out, to let others know. The phone has nice feature's but the package for the phone doesn't come with a USB cord or a headphone set, the headphone set is a need in order for the FM radio to work. In an email that took 5 days from them to respond to my email, they said it only includes with the phone: User Manual, Rear Cover, Wall Charger, Battery. That is it.
For the headphones, to bad??? For the USB cord, I have to call 1866-603-0640...another company...for the USB cord, what about the headphones??? Oh and a sorry at the end of my email by, Maureen...customer service from tiger direct-amazon. I think they suck, My ratings at this POINT IS a "2".
So, everyone email them before you buy from them (tiger-direct) even if you have to wait 5 days at least you will know what you hard earned money pays for. After this experience with buying a cell phone from Amazon and Ebay, I will just buy from now on my cell phone provider, I seem to get ripped off by the folks who sell me parts to the phone with 'not' the complete package. Buyer BEWARE..
Another add-in, for what it is worth....

Oh, I want to add my daughter whose 16, this was a Christmas present...which I let her open early...the phone can't receive or send picture text either. Terrible seeing, that I have unlimited picture and text on the family plan, I have T-mobile, also, the 5-fav's doesn't work either, no biggie, I kind-of knew that, just making it known if you have T-mobile...Anyway--PLEASE BUYER BEWARE, about everything else, I've stated!!!!!
---TigerDirect SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I've ordered a camera from them as well "a palaroid" the SD card doesn't work either...really sad these folks. Sadly they don't care once they get your money. I haven't returned the items because I've already return another item through someone else. It cost me $10 and change and me burning time and gas..and a headache. All I can do is post and hope to help someone else.
God Bless..two-thumbs down for TIGER-DIRECT.

Nokia N8 Unlocked GSM Touch Screen Phone with GPS, Voice Navigation and 12MP Camera--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue) Review

Nokia N8 Unlocked GSM Touch Screen Phone with GPS, Voice Navigation and 12MP Camera--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What more can I do with it (compared to iPhone or Android):1. Navigate anytime with a fantastic GPS module and free life time navigation (including turn by turn voice navigation with street names, lane guidance, speed limit warning, traffic etc.!!). Go buy crap GPS software for iPhone for a huge price (last time checked was more than 50$) and even then that won't even come close to Nokia navigation. Don't forget Nokia owns Navteq (the worlds largest map producer)
2. Transmit FM and play it on your car music system (iPhone doesn't even have a FM receiver)
3. The best camera (those of u who read the misleading review of endgadget, if u r really reading my review, then u r serious and go ahead to search on google to find zillions of unbiased camera review, comparing N8 even against DSLR)
4. Pentaband network support, which would let you use the phone with both AT&T and T-Mobile 3g network!!
5. Dolby surround sound output
6. USB on the go (which means you could connect your USB device with the phone!)
7. Bluetooth 3.0
8. The only OS that has a very complete bluetooth stack implementation (perhaps too technical for some of the readers) that allows u to even control ur powerpoint presentation with ur cellphone (using salling clicker). The poor iPhone guys, no ur phone doesn't have that functionality (crippled at OS level)
9. The OS that gives superb battery life (anyone using Symbian would testify for this)
10. The freedom that comes with an open OS (OK, Android is also open)
11. The most configurable and complete enterprise wireless stack (trust me, I never ever had any problem to configure my Nokia phones for the most convoluted enterprise wireless network!)
12. A built in completely integrated VOIP support. You won't even notice that u r using VOIP. And trust me, if u know how to use VOIP effectively, u could save a huge amount on your phone bill
13. The ability to work as Bluetooth HSPA modem (or even create Wifi hotspot with third party software)
14. The TRUE TRUE TRUE multi tasking. Yes that's three TRUEs. No one else (including the upcoming Windows Phone 7) supports true multi-tasking. If u ever use Symbian multitasking, u would hate to use others' sham multitasking
15. Many many ... can't list. Feeling tired :( Users are welcome to comment and add additional pros and cons. I am sure there will be Nokia fanboys and iPhone and Android fanboys.
What can't I do (or can't do so well):
1. The UI (yes iPhone and Android have better intuitive UI)
2. I can't fart with my mobile (but I do have all the apps that I would ever need: e.g. call screening software, office software, pdf reader, flash support, email solution, the entire Oxford, cambridge or a host of other dictionaries etc.)
3. Zillions of games that you may avail on iPhone, u may not have on Nokia yet (believe me it's changing fast). BTW, N8 has a faster GPU than iPhone4!
Now some misleading media propaganda:
1. N8 has only 680 MHz processor: Believe me Symbian is by born very efficient. If u ever own a Mac and try to run a Windows 7 in a virtual machine then u know how slow it is. Processor doesn't define speed. I started with a 233MHz pentium processor with 32MB RAM which ran Windows 98 extremely fast with all Office applications, a bunch of productivity apps and a host of games. To give a recent example look at Windows Vista, which runs very slow on the same computer compared to Windows 7 or Mac OS X!
2. N8 has only 256MB RAM: Again u don't need that much RAM. The Symbian^3 has "Writable data paging" which works like virtual memory. And don't forget, Symbian is built from ground up to be battery, memory and processor efficient. No other OS (including Android) claims that feat.
So, in conclusion, if u r looking for a very modern looking user interface, go for iPhone (or Android). But if u r like me who shops for functionality (and who dreams to carry only one gadget (no GPS, no camera, no Apple remote etc.)) then surely u should give N8 a serious thought. And don't let naysayers fool u with usability issues. Believe me, with just couple of days of use, every unintuitive UI would become intuitive (I am a Symbian veteran and it feels very intuitive to me).

I have to say that I was very sceptical when I ordered the phone. In the first place I chose it because compared to similar phones like HTC Mozart or others it is really cheap. But I was wrong, the phone is really great.
It's very robust (it fell down once already because of me) and the keyboard is assembled accurately, it does not seem like it would break soon. The battery lasts for two whole days with average use (80 messages per day/ 1 hour of talking) and I only need to plug it in every other evening. The touchscreen does work great, although it is not as accurate as the iPhone's touchscreen.
There are no free apps for this phone, but that does not bother me because I wouldn't download them anyways. But if you want a lot of apps, you chould check out Android phones.
All in all I recommend this phone without restrictions. Kaufempfehlung!
