11. Nice phone with one small problem

9 Dec 2006 by MikeB

82%8.2out of 10

I love my phone. The only problem I have is the phone jack is not the standard 2.55mm, so the "stock" wired earpieces will not work with this phone. Finding ones that fit are like trying to find the needle in the haystack. Does anyone know the correct size? The website only says "no" when listing if it is the standard size jack, but does not list the size needed. Otherwise I love my phone.

This phone is a great buy. Has a camera and bluetooth, and the screen *Inside and outside* is big enough for a person with failing vision to see(the person we got his for can see screen great. Last but not least the phone is small*can fit in2 a shirt pocket*, and the phone is easy to use!!!

13. Great buy

I purchased the C417 several months ago and have had nothing but compliments for the phone. I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.

The signal strength is excellent compared to my last phone (Motorola V551) and the sound quality is perfect. The battery seems to last a while longer than advertised also. The display is very "vivid", one of the best I've seen. This is the first Samsung phone I've ever purchased after being a loyal Motorola customer. I think I will be sticking with Samsung in the future as well.

If you're looking for a very mobile, compact, and feature-filled phone for a relatively low price, this is the perfect option. This phone performs all of the advertised features and options flawlessly.

14. Sim problems

Both my wife and I purchased this phone three weeks ago and we both are having the same problem: every few hours the phone loses the Sim card and we have to turn the phone off and back on again to fix it. We've checked to make sure the chip is firmly in place, yet the problem persists. Some research shows that this is not an uncommon problem with this phone. As a result, both phones are going back today.

Do not buy this phone unless you want to have to keep looking at it to make sure it's still working.

15. Limited Bluetooth functionality

2 Oct 2006 by Kert

76%7.6out of 10

We just purchased four of these phones yesterday. Will probably end up returning them because of the limited Bluetooth functionality.
It only supports the "headphone" profile.
You cannot transfer data (photos) to/from the phone and your computer with Bluetooth.
Also, a data cable does not appear to be an option (not available for this phone on the Samsung Web site). Therefore the only way to transfer photos off of the phone is by emailing from the camera (at a cost of 25 cents each). It appears that they (Cingular / Samsung) have intentionally limited the file transfer functionality so you must use the network to get your photos. Other phones allow file transfers at this price point...don't buy this phone if you take a lot of photos. This is a major disappointment and ripoff!

I like the phone over all but if i could change on thing that would be the camera and display resolution. I got my phone friday and so far i have had no problems. However the phone my mother and sister got they are having huge problems. I said "You should have went with the Samsung phones like i did"

I like the phone overall. The one design feature I don't like is placement of the camera on button. Almost everytime I pick up the phone, I turn on the camera. The buton should have been placed in a more out of the way location. I love the weight and sizr of the phone.

18. Great Buy!

The reasons I bought this phone are as follows:
1 - Reception/ Signal strength
2 - Aesthetics
I personally love the antenna on the top, but of course the design is a user preference. If you dont like it, move on
Reception - with the addition of GSM 850, I get coverage in most areas now.
Features - All the basic ones that i need are there: Alarms, calendar, contacts
Finally, the best part is the weight: sleek, light, and the epitome of mobility. For its price, I'd say this is 1 of the best!

19. Good buy

84%8.4out of 10

I just got this phone today, and so far i cant really find anything wrong with it. for the price its a very good buy, its nice and slim, only thing i dont really like is the antenna sticking out on top but thats not really so bad.
The outside screen isent in color, not something thats horrible but ive been used to looking at my screen and seeing one of my friends faces looking out and this your gonna have to actually look to see the name. the inside screen is pretty big. its nice and crisp.
the picture quality is not so bad but it would of been better if it was a 1.3+ mp camera instead of a vga, such is life at the entry level phones, but really not bad if ur just keeping them on your phone.
Sound quality is good i cant complain, speaker phone might little low for some situations but i guess most times it will be fine.
i like how you can get rid of seeing the Cingular/ Time/Date on the screens so you can just see the picture and nothing blocking it. Also if u make a picture your background you can set it so you dont get those bars across the top and bottom like on some other phone.
So overall i think this phone is a very good buy and will recomend it to people.
