Samsung C180 Review - read honest Samsung C180 reviews
The Samsung C180 is one of the new phones to be part of the “C” series. This phone is a red mobile phone that definitely attracts a second look. The phone is slim and has a cutting edge style which stands out in a crowd. The phone is a budget phone and does not really come with any top notch features, though it is good enough for simple calling along with a few other applications. The C180 has decent connectivity options and at a low price, provides touch competition to phones like the Nokia XpressMusic 5030.

The phone looks good with well spaced keys on its number keypad. This makes messaging easy and efficient. The phone’s slender form is both sleek and easy to operate in just one hand. The phone allows you to be connected to a network easily, allowing downloads directly to the phone itself. The display is nice and clear allowing text messages to be read easily. The vibrant images on the phone’s display make using it even more fun and easy. The ringtone of the phone is also pretty loud allowing you to hear the phone ringing easily, even if you have any hearing difficulties. The speaker is pretty decent, though not in the class of phones such as the Nokia 5610.
Overall the phone is a good buy and definitely fills up a niche in the budget phone market. The C180 also has the Mobile tracker application which allows the user to track the phone when the phone’s SIM is changed. It even has an SOS Message application which alerts any specified emergency contact if you are in danger. This can be a vital possibly life saving application. The phone’s Bluetooth allows easy short distance data transfer without the hassle of a cable. This Bluetooth also allows hands free calling which is very convenient, especially for users who drive around a lot. The phone also allows a monthly calendar view as well as an easy to organize To Do list. This allows the user to schedule events accurately and easily. The phone’s phone book allows up to 500 contacts to be stored. These contacts can even be grouped into many folders in the phone memory. The portability of the phone is its best feature. It can easily fit into any pocket and even into the smallest purse. The low weight makes it very easy and light to carry around without feeling any additional bulk. This makes the phone far more feasible than phones such as the Sony Ericssson W910i.
