0 Samsung : B2100 review

Did your phone drop to the ground and broke cause of the grip?
Have you had a time when you wrapped a plastic bag around your phone, so it would not get wet?
You heard about the mobiles that can be shock proof water proof ?

Well Toughness has a new name, it is Samsung B2100. Stands out from other mobiles.

Now you can go to beach, swimming pool without the fear of getting your phone damaged.

The 1.3 Megapixel camera has acceptable photo quality to shoot on land and underwater.
there are arguments about the phone not having the auto focus feature. But other than that i should say if it shoots quality images underwater it makes a statement.

It can play music and video with the phone. You need to have a microSD card for this. I listened to this and it brings quality music.

As mentioned before this phone supports MicroSD or SDHC. IT supports up to 8-16 GB memory cards.

Standby time is upto 550-600 hours.
