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.

Current users of the phone gives a 7/10 from what i asked.

Well that’s a main concern for a person who has his life on face book for like 20hrs of his day spending the other 4 catching a little sleep.

My friend mailed me saying he found out that due to the employees in the office spends much time in face book the office blocked the site.

Well why should they not. They lady at the front office counter was chatting on FB while the Managing Director crossed the Hall way.

So he was trying to find ways to get into face book in Office.

-Using the mobile phone (I phone) he was able to see all the updates he needed. Well the problem was it took a lot of time to load the data.

-He tried writing the IP on the address bar. Well sometimes if the IP is not blocked it’s their luck.

And after much research he came to know about using proxy websites.

Well proxy website is alternative website that would open the sites that are blocked. Or you’re entering the web anonymously.

Well he achieved the goal of using face book in office with proxy websites.

Well that is as long as the IT guys doesn’t know about he is doing so. Well sometimes it’s not monitored well. So there is a chance this works for you.
