Summary: Beware if you want to sync with your PIM
Review: This is a nice little phone with a good color screen but the IR port does not work with any device other than a computer running Windows XP or 2000. You cannot pass info from another phone or from a handheld device into the E105 thru the irda port. And you cannot sync your phone with Outlook or any other PIM you may use, you can only copy the information into Samsung's EasyGPRS program for downloading into your phone. And the last problem I have with it is that each number is a seperate entry. You cannot have more than one number associated with a person without creating a seperate entry for each number.Nice phone but the functionality is very old school. It would be nice if they could have a modern software package with the modern phone.

Summary: Nice Phone, Lil Flaws
Review: this phone is great. im a 14 year old kid, and we all bout style, so when we have a small decent phone, its all good. Aim is a great feature, cause 99% of kids have it nowadays.. and yea, hte ring tones are bomb.. only drawback is that you cant preview the tones first.. great customization though.. the vibe/ring is really annoyting at times.. really annoying.. i thought it would be like the nokias, where it actually rang and vibrated.. but its all good, the sound quality is loud enough.. haha, get this phone, its the bomb!

Summary: Great for Kids, Embrassing for Everyone else
Review: I bought this phone a few weeks ago, and have been frustrated ever since. Besides the bad sound, it adds a hum to the voice. The menu system is extensive and therefore ridiculous to use. Too many options to make this phone useable. Ring Tones? great for kids, but there is no simple standard ring tone that sounds like a phone. I have contacted customer support on a few occassions, and no one has given me any direction as to where to find a simple ring. The only option available is the T-Mobile melody that you hear on their commercials. They dont seem to realize that not everyone wants to play music. I cant find, download or buy a simple ring. I'm counting the days till my contract expires.

Summary: too gud to miss...go for it...
Review: This phone is a beauty.I like each and every feature of this...especially the colored screen and the flip cover.
I bought this phone when it was available for around 50 bucks with the T-mobile plan. But now they are giving back the same amount and thats pretty cool. Its so small and lite, you can't feel it...
go for it guys...

Summary: Great phone!
Review: This phone is great! Much improved over the previous S105 model (except for the fact that the S105 is GSM900/1800/1900 and the E105 is only GSM900/1900). Here are my observations regarding this phone... PROS:
* Loud ringtones and ear volume
* Good colorful screen
* Good AIM interface
* Infrared
* Handset connector _IS_ standard 2.5mm (unlike the S105 which was not)
* Perfect compact size... one of the smallest phones I've seen
* Decent battery life and reception
* Phone has a solid feel and build CONS:
* No bluetooth
* No GSM850 band which makes the phone somewhat less useful if it is unlocked for use with AT&T or Cingular
* Some annyoing minor software issues like Java which is not compatible with all midlets, no real ring and vibrate at the same time (instead the ring and vibrate feature is actually vibrate first, then ring)
* Rather limited selection of included ringtones (though you can download plenty of new ones off the internet using infrared or cable with free software available Samsung) I think anyone who buys this phone for use with T-Mobile will not be dissappointed. Also, it is really worth reading the manual becuase there are a lot of 'hidden' features like lighting up the external display with the flip closed by pressing one of the side buttons for a few seconds or how to assign different ringtones to different caller groups.

Summary: Great sturdy little phone with a stylish look!
Review: I just received my E105 the other day and I must say that I'm more than impressed. It is much smaller than it looks in the pics and has steel casing. I was always worried about dropping a flip phone and doing extensive damage....nothing to worry about with this baby. The 65,000 color LCD is bright and clear! There aren't the best song selections for ringtones, but the polyphonic sound is incredible and loud. If you are looking for a phone with good reception, a stylish look, and a colorful screen this is the one for you. It doesn't have tons of features like some of the other Samsung models, but who uses all that crap anyway. I'm very satisfied!

Review: Good reception all around, and a lot of flamboyant features, such as T-zones, games, and an organiser. Pretty easy to use.

Summary: Nice Phone but terirble T-Mobile treatment
Review: I'll start by saying this review is more about T-Mobile than the phone. I am happy with the phone overall. No problems and the looks and feel are very good. I also have 2 S105's and 2 Sony T68i's in the family. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was very happy with all the phones and T-Mobile. However one morning when I flipped open my S105 the LCD screen was dead. I knew the warranty was 1 yr and it was just about a year old. When I called Samsung the said T-Mobile warranties the phone and I needed to contact them. When I did they said my service was activated on the same day last year and the phone is therefore 1 day past the warranty and not covered. I argued how can it be beyond the 1 yr warranty period if I bought it on the same day last year. They said "the warranty is for 365 days and not 1 yr". Long story short after numerous phone calls and Samsung intervening they still refused to cover the repairs. I later found my receipt which indicated I actually bought the phone 1 week later so it was clearly within the warranty period. Armed with proof they finally agreed to a warranty replacement. I was then asked if there was any cosmetic damage to my phone.I told them the cheap little plastic cover on the front of the phone has a small crack. They said your waranty is void. WHAT? "Any cosmetic damage to the phone voids your warranty" WHAT? Thats rediculous I said. You mean if theres a scratch on the phone the warranty is void? "Yes, it is considered abuse and voids your warranty." I couldn't believe it. I said a scratch is normal wear and tear and I have never seen a phone that did not have a single scratch. They said they consider it abuse and can deny warranty coverage per the warranty agreement. I told them the lense cracked 6 months ago when I put the phone in my pocket and my keys pressed against it when I squatted down (this is true). I never bothered with it because the phone was still working fine. Besides the lense is so thin and cheap it cracks way to easily and has nothing to do with the electronics going bad. Their only response was telling me I was out of luck and they can deny me coverage for any type of cosmetic damage regardless of whether it has anything to do with the defect or not. I told them up until this point I was very happy with T-Mobile. I switched over from ATT and added 4 addtional phone to my account. For a lousy plastic lense you are willing to lose me as a customer in such a competitive industry? Nothing we can do they said. I told them since they say my 1 yr is up just out of principle I am cancelling all five phones from their plan. They said sorry to hear that and is there anything else they can do for me. What a joke. Anyway if you sign up with T-Mobile and you can't prevent signs of normal wear and tear on the phone, based on my experience if anything goes wrong with it look for T-Mobile to get out of covering it any way they can.

Summary: Impressed
Review: I am an infrequent cell phone user so after a year of not having a cell phone, I decided to take the plunge yet again. After a lot of research I decided to get this Samsung phone. When I received it, I was very pleasantly surprised. The phone was much smaller than the picture indicates, it fits in my jeans pocket with no problem! So far, I've had it about a week and the phone is pretty clear, no problems connecting. I've even downloaded some free ring tones. So far very happy, no-frills service, I received the phone, turned it on and was ready to make calls immediately.

Summary: E105: A Great Balance of Form and Function
Review: Overall: B+
The E105 is a great phone for those looking to upgrade from entry level models. If all you need is a phone to make calls and not to take pictures, the E105 is for you. Even without a camera, there is a lot to like about this phone as it has a nice sturdy, modern design and is loaded with great features. The most striking feature about this phone is its gorgeous 65K color screen. There is also a grayscale display on the front that displays the time, date, battery and reception which is also quite useful. Another great feature is the indicator light which flashes a different color when receiving calls or messages. You'll instantly know when you've missed a call or message and you can set the default color to your liking. The reception on this phone is quite good even in buildings and the quality of the sound is clear. The E105 also has a nice selection of games including chess and golf. The battery life is average but understandable considering the screen. If you spend your life on the phone, this could be a drawback. The only real fault I find with this phone is its poor selection of ringtones. Some of them are downright weird and there is no standard ringtone which I prefer. Ringtones today, are generation y's version of elevator music. I cannot remember the number of times I have cringed at the sound of a popular song badly rendered as a ringtone. Sometimes, they are about as obnoxious as the person using them. The selection on this phone does not help the problem.
