It takes a lot of abuse and continues to works perfectly. This replaced my Nokia 3120 because after a single drop on the floor, it decided to turn off randomly, so, I would not know my phone was off unless I kept checking every few minutes. The buttons are spaced out pretty well except around the Cingular button. The arrows were rather small at first but I got used to them after a while. Even though I have small hands, cell phones have a tendency to slip out of my hands unless they are heavy or wide. If you are looking for a light phone, this is the phone for you.<br /><br />PROS:<br />-very light<br />-nice keyboard layout<br />-internal antenna<br />-excellent reception<br /><br />CONS:<br />-screen looks a bit washed out and is hard to see in sunlight (like all Samsung phones)<br />-no speakerphone</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=14683#review14683 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=14683#review14683 Sat, 21 Jan 2006 23:39:43 GMT <p><i>smhennes submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br /> I purchased this phone after my other phone was stolen. I really liked the size and weight of the phone. It is very small and portable, and I usually get a 3-4 days of battery life out of the phone. The screen is bright and colorful and it comes with a few enjoyable games. I also liked how you could customize the menus, to see all options, a few or one at a time. <br /><br />Cons:<br /> The buttons on this phone are very small and hard to use at some times. The sound is also not very good and with no speaker phone it makes the sound volume issue even worse. <br /><br />Conclusion:<br /> Not a bad phone for the money, although there are some improvements that would be nice. Menus are easy to use and navigate but the signal quality, I blame mostly on Cingular could be better along with the addition of a speaker phone, this would be a very nice sub $100.00 phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=14535#review14535 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=14535#review14535 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 02:12:58 GMT <p><i>carl basbas submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is great!

The size is handy. The display is bright and the colors saturated. Interface not too bad. Keys have a good feel. Comes loaded with Cingular links to stuff you can buy. Not up to Nokia standards. Not 3100, not 6200, not even 3595.<br /><br />Here is the rub. Right on the box it says, "JAVA support for application and game downloads" OK fine. The Java is there and works. Download an app and it goes in "games." Try to use and Free 416 KB turns into Free Memory 4kB. The applet I wish to use is called mmail. It works on this phone but it is starved for memory so you cannot do much. Neither will the manufacturer support it saying mail protocols are not supported on this low end phone. Applets apparently are not either in spite of what the box says.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Handy size<br />Good keypad feel<br />Nice screen<br /><br />Cons:<br />Java non-support<br />No IR or Bluetooth<br />Apparently not at all easy to unlock.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=13006#review13006 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=13006#review13006 Thu, 10 Nov 2005 09:46:43 GMT <p><i>ezrafromillinois submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>every since i go this phone i have been very happy with it i would not ever change i like this phone it is easy to use i like everything it does</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=12569#review12569 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=12569#review12569 Mon, 17 Oct 2005 14:32:21 GMT <p><i>Lowey33 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>They just gave me this phone to use until my samsung p207 comes in this week.

It does have its good points, but they're hardly redeeming...<br /><br />PROS:<br />- Slick &amp; lightweight<br />- Loads of downloadable features<br />- Easy to use, for the most part.<br />- Text messaging is a SNAP<br /><br />CONS:<br />- Not sturdy enough! I had this phone for just a month, and the screen broke. I'm not too terribly rough on phones, no worse than anyone else, so I find the durability of this phone to be more than disappointing.<br />- Volume settings are absolute crap. I'd have the thing in my pocket the entire day, but could hardly ever hear it ring. Needless to say my voicemail has been pretty popular.<br />- Accessing voicemail is a pain in the... fingers. This is one point where the phone's menu system blows.<br />- Reception is really, really shoddy. My area is extremely well-covered by Cingular, and there's just no excuse for this phone to not have a good signal. Even when I -do- have full signal, the phone likes to cut out and drop calls for no good reason whatsoever.<br /><br />Still, it's cheap. And if you're desperate for a new phone, or getting your first phone, I suppose it isn't so bad. At least it isn't an LG C1300...</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=11675#review11675 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=11675#review11675 Fri, 02 Sep 2005 19:10:07 GMT <p><i>becky3 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My friend got this phone and is very happy with it. I played with it and noticed that it had all the same features my phone has and was much cheaper. I was surprised to find out that even with all of the functions it has, Cingular is giving away for free! Everyone else seems to like it too. It's a cool phone and if you get it free you will be very pleasantly surprised. The only reason I would get a different phone is if you only like flip phones. You should definitely consider this phone if you don't care and don't want to pay a lot.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=11650#review11650 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=11650#review11650 Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:03:08 GMT <p><i>litwid23 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone has everything you need if you have no personal preference. This phone is being offered free of charge with cingular wireless (with pre-approval promotion) and it's definitely worth it. It has a nice color screen, vibrate, several ringtones, phonebook, calculator, alarm clock, call log and games. It has a high resolution color display which is much clearer than the free nokia phone.

The phone is slightly above average overall. The PROs outweigh the CONs, so this phone tops out at a 4.0. Here is what I have so far...<br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />- Lightweight: Easy to carry and hold!<br />- Small: Comfortable in any pocket!<br />- Clear Screen: Not too small!<br />- Menu: Intuitive and simple!<br />- Sounds: Clear, loud, and fun...<br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />- Weak Transmit and Receive (-0.8 points): This is not a good phone for fringe areas. It works, but you will get a lot of drops on the fringes.<br />- Headset dust cover and power charger dust cover are cheap (-0.2 points): These things have the potential of getting broken off real easy. So far, I have not lost one, but it is only a matter of time.<br /><br />Some potential sticky points...if you have large hands, this phone is TOO small. The buttons are okay, but a little close. The outside of the phone scratches pretty easy too! <br /><br />All in all, this phone will never be a five unless they can find a way to squeeze another 1/2 watt of power out of it somehow. I like the phone and use it in a rural area (lots of fringe zones) with success. I don't live with a phone connected to my ear, so this is NOT a phone for power users. The battery life is average.<br /><br />Hope this helps you make your decision...if you need more power, longer battery life, or larger keys, go with the Nokia 6010.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=10406#review10406 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=574&r=10406#review10406 Thu, 30 Jun 2005 12:38:17 GMT <p><i>madi021 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-C207:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I gave this phone 5 stars because I think it is just great. I am 14 and I am like a technology junkie girl. So I saw this phone and was like "Yea, maybe I should try it." And it is great. I just got it yesterday in the mail, and I have figured out everything. It is very easy to use. I love the color screen, but if Cingular hadn't put their bulky logo at the bottom, the screen would be alot bigger.<br />Pros- Awsome phone, small, durable, cool, COLOR screen, great sound,CUTE!<br />Cons-no camera(not that I need it), and well no speaker phone.<br />I can live without a speaker phone and camera.

If there were some other way to place the names somewhere else without sacrificing the display screen size, these phones would be more popular.....</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=574
