Samsung SGH R210 - a call-board
Plus of the Samsung SGH R210: sporty design, robust, good menu-structure
Minus of the Samsung SGH R210: no gprs, no bluetooth
I'm a total sports-freak. Surfing, skating, blading and boarding are not just hip but a must for me. I always make sure that my clothes and sports-equipment fit my style. I can't accept a break in my style.
Therefore the Samsung SGH R210. It really convinced me at first sight in the mobile phone shop.
I didn't know which features the Samsung SGH R210 had, but I knew I had to have this hand phone board. The Samsung SGH R210 has a funky design in ice-blue and reminds me of my wave-sessions on Hawaii, or boarding.
The display of the Samsung SGH R210 is framed by a silver bordering. Which gives it a technical appearance. The board Samsung SGH R210 measures 110x46x23mm, with the wimpy weight of 95g.
The Samsung SGH R210 can phone for 6 hours, 150 hours on standby. I could get started with the Samsung SGH R210 at full speed: the SIM-card was already built-in in the Samsung SGH R210. The Samsung SGH R210 immediately shows a soccer-animation of the Samsung logo. Sports rule! The display of the Samsung SGH R210 is extra-broad and shows date and time, reception, battery level.
When a SMS hits the Samsung SGH R210 it will be displayed on the screen, like several other system services. The Samsung SGH R210 is also voice- and picture-SMS capable.
The menu-structure of the Samsung SGH R210 is especially good; I can glide through it smoothly like in powder snow.
The integrated provider-service is a true hit. You can set the Cost Control, so you don't loose the overview. And there's the Newsflash. With that you can send a request about every topic that interest you, like sports or business. I get most of the info about new boards for the snow from the Samsung SGH R210.
You can really check everything with the Samsung SGH R210. The call-list: in the Samsung SGH R210 you can see when the last call started, how long we talked and how much it cost.
The Samsung SGH R210 isn’t a sound-master, but it has 20 ringer tones included. And it has a melody-manager for the creative ones.
The vibratory alarm really makes the Samsung SGH R210 shake. A real double-back-flip of the Samsung SGH R210: vibratory and sound alarm can be combined. But I can also take it back a step. Just adjust the settings so that the first two rings are vibratory, and then the music starts and gets louder, just as you choose. A really good function of the Samsung SGH R210 against annoying sounds.
All the settings of the Samsung SGH R210 are self-explanatory, all the "to do"s are on the display of the Samsung SGH R210. The organizer is totally okay, quick and damn useful. I have every important sport-event saved in the Samsung SGH R210.
Sadly, the Samsung SGH R210 isn’t a game box. Three lousy games are included in the Samsung SGH R210. All of them crappy. They can really be left out here.
The Samsung SGH R210 also has a WAP-browser. No idea if it's okay. I don't use it. For me it's important to have a mobile that plays up my style and is good for calling.
