The handset is meant for those who need a phone just to stay in touch and nothing else
Good battery life, reasonably priced, color screen, mobile tracker, easy interface
No FM radio, slightly tough to set up GPRS, few design flaws
The Samsung SGH-B100, officially released in India under the alias Guru 100, is an entry-level handset, which means it's meant for those who need a phone just to stay in touch and nothing else. A new entrant to Samsung's already formidable range of cheap and affordable phones, the SGH-B100 doesn't feature any fancy music player but well, just wait and see.
Bundle
The Samsung SGH-B100 has a very basic, almost Spartan, package. But then again considering the price of the phone and the built-in features, it's understandable that the package wouldn't be much.
also what games are on the phone.

The Phone has pathetic voice quality. It simply cant cancel out external noise. The cealing fan noise really bugs the person on the other side, also while traveling , the Wind noise and the honks make this phone vitually unusable on the move..... I tried nokia and reliance "Classic" under the same conditions ....they seem to cancel out the noice pretty well....

Page 4: "The phone has a lithium ion, 100 mAh battery that gives a talktime of 9 hours." Then how much talktime can we expect from a 850mAh battery?

Talk time is predominantly dependant on signal strength and battery capacity. Larger the mAH(capacity), longer the talktime. Better the signal, the phone spends less charge trying to latch on to the network.

Shannon, where exactly have you reviewed the phone?? Where are details which we usually get from a 'technical/product review'?? 1>Call and network quality? 2>Build quality? 3>Real life battery figures for talk and standby? 4>There seems to be no attempt made at setting up GPRS!! 5>Value for money-comparision with models like Motorola W205 etc!! Finally, what is that you have revealed that is not available ready made on other sites or the phone carton itself??

agree with xotiq that Shannon has not given any info that can't be gleaned from the features and specifications. Moreover the weight is specified as 78 gms but Shannon says it is 69 gms. Why don't you tell us a bit about what xotiq has asked, especially his questions 1, 3 and 5.
