| rajveer99's Full Review: Samsung SGH-S105 |
I decided to purchase this phone a few months back b/c of friend's advice, and boy am I glad I did!
I saw this phone at Amazon.com for $279 before $200 MIR, and had a $75 GC from Amazon, and thus got the phone for $4 AR (even $79 dollars seems like a very reasonable price for this phone), along with the 600min/month $39.99 package from T-mobile.
As I am in the Baltimore area, I read prior users' opinions on T-mobile service with this phone in Baltimore, which they recommended.
To date (about 4 months later), I don't have any complaints about the phone. I would say that 90-95% of the time, it works perfectly in my place of residence and work, with minimal drop-lines due to poor-signal strength.
Another great thing about this phone is the hands-free set that it comes with. The kit's clarity is so great many times that the callers on the other end don't even realize that I'm on the road at the time. The kit also has a neat button which serves a dual purpose: completion of call/redial of last call. About the only complaint with using the kit is that you physically have to end the call by pressing the button, as just closing the flip phone doesn't suffice.
My only real gripe (and it's VERY minor) is that the vibrating alarm doesn't vibrate enough, and has caused me a couple of times to not wake up on time, but the alarm on normal tone is really loud and is not a problem at all.
Overall, as my friend did to me, I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone who is thinking about getting a durable, sleek-looking, fully functional phone that won't be outdated even 1-2 years from now.
