The sexy looking slim Samsung SGH-F210 looks a lot like the Samsung X830 but this one is better, the Samsung F210 is a multimedia music player that has a cool 1GB of built in memory plus an additional micro SD card slot support. Love it yet? Hate it yet? This up coming mobile music phone has a metallic dial pad and the navigational buttons and dial pad are apparently very nice to use. (Let us be the judge of that).

    hiya i can only find the black and the blue one but not the pink one because i asked for it at the shop and they said it was not any good because it is a swivel phone and they break easily!
    But i am thinking about getting the black one!
    But i really want the PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    November 25th, 2007 | 5:52 pmSamsung F210 Pink

    The Purple F210 is an exclusive girls aloud version with unique band content and their latest single as a ringtone. The Blue edition is exclusive to Orange direct and the pink version is also an Orange exclusive, the black version is available on all networks.

    See: http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Samsung/F210.html

    Hope this helps.

    i have it n its the best fone iv had its wkd i have it in purple ! best phone in ages!!

    December 1st, 2007 | 4:12 pmMB

    Got the Samsung F210 as a replacement for my aging Ericsson T39m. Carphone Warehouse only had metallic blue in stock, although I wanted black, it might as well be black, as it has the barest hint of a very dark metallic blue to it in bright light.

    I had wanted a clamshell phone so that I didn’t have to lock/unlock the keypad, but getting hold of a replacement Sony Ericsson Clamshell at the moment (Nov 07), with the features I wanted has proven to be next to impossible.

    I had dismissed this Samsung swivel phone as an alternative, just assuming that it would be too awkward to open/close. However after trying it at a shop, it’s one-handed spring-loaded opening action is really slick.

    It’s a well constructed little phone, which feel’s really solid. Key pad button size and layout is also very good despite its tiny size. Menu’s are intuitive. I might use the camera and music player occasionally, but that’s not why I got the phone. I selected it for it’s small size, the ability to protect the keypad and terminate calls by just swivelling it shut.

    Like other’s I find the music player coming on when you close the phone as slightly confusing, with no ability to permanently turn this feature off, I think that’s a design mistake and could put many people off the phone. I also think the ring-tone sound level is very quiet compared to my T39m, I doubt it’s going to wake me up in the middle of the night, or that I would hear it when watching a film at home. The life of the battery seems fine to me - despite its tiny size, but then I’ve been used to charging my T39m every night.

    It’s paired with a Jabra BT2020 headset, and with a Parrot 3000 Evolution Car Kit, and works seamlessly with both. Although beware, the F210 doesn’t seem to support the Voice Recognition features of the Parrot 3000 Evo. It can’t even redial the last number called. However basic answering and hanging-up is seamless.

    The phone comes with a USB lead and Samsung PC software which is very good, I was able to clean up and update my phone book in a few minutes, and download it all to the phone in seconds.

    In summary I like it, and it seems so does everybody who as seen it so far.

    December 8th, 2007 | 3:50 pmGabby

    I thought i saw the F210 in an o2 shop in White. Is this right, can you get it in White?

    December 8th, 2007 | 6:54 pmSamsung X830 White

    Are you sure it was the F210 White and Not the X830 White?
    They are very similar looking phones and some shops still have stocks of the older X830 in White, Black, Pink and Blue.

    December 26th, 2007 | 1:29 amani

    Hey was wandering if anyone that has the F210 can tell me if you can get the normal screen and not the MP3 player when closed bacuase I have gone through every function and cannot get rid of the music player screen when the phone is closed. It can be annoyign as i have to open the phone to see if i have any missed callss or messages.

    December 26th, 2007 | 2:38 pmlorie

    Hi
    just got this fone its really good but one problem . . i cant get the MP3 player off the front screen can any1 tell me how ? thanx

    December 27th, 2007 | 1:20 amemma

    hi!
    Just got this phone for christams and I love it! It’s so small and tidy. Unfortunately you cannot get rid of the mp3 closed screen but it only takes half a second to swivel it open so it is nothing to complain about. Battery life… I do not know why people complain about it. If you keep opening and closing it then no wonder! But I have hhad mine on one charge yesterday morning ( christmas day! ) and it is still playing strong now with 2 bars of battery left! The volume is fine, it depends on the volume of the MP3 used as the ringtone because some are alot louder than others. Very easy to navigate this phone, instructions haven’t even been out yet as usual.
    Overall an amazing phone, very pleased, recommend to anyone!

    January 2nd, 2008 | 6:15 pmDaisy

    i love this phone i have it in purple from phones 4 u lol its so cool i got it on the 2nd of january and i apsolutely luv it.
    i got it from lakeside and it cost £125 i have(had)
    300 free txt and 20 pound credit!!!

    its like a dream come true!!!

    January 3rd, 2008 | 11:45 pmElle

    I have read that to you can get the MP3 screen off when the phone is closed by going to settings and then going to security - it was on a review of the F210 on http://www.gsmarena.com, can’t vouch for this claim as still deciding which phone to get but I hope this info is correct and useful.

    January 8th, 2008 | 10:29 pmmolly

    this fone is rubbish dont get it get a better one its to small so everythig on it is tiny so you can hardly read it battery life is poo and you carnt get the mp3 of the screen when you close it trust me get a different phone x

    January 9th, 2008 | 10:10 pmgeorgia

    Dont listen to what anyone says this fone is brilliant they only say its rubbish cause they want to be the only one with it!! ive had mine for ages now and i can tell you there has been no problems with it what so ever, the useage is great and the battery life lasts for ages and yes there is a way of turning of the mp3 player off the screen and that is by going into settings!! and the sound is brilliant too!
    you can buy them off the internet from 02 for £99.99- free delivery pay as you go, although you dont get any airtime money on it!

    i hope this was useful!!

    January 15th, 2008 | 12:25 amkitty

    well really you can get it for 99 pounds with o2 right now cause i went and looked :)

    January 21st, 2008 | 1:27 pmAshlee

    hi,

    does anyone actually know if you can turn off the mp3 player when the phones is shut?…really dont like it! phones great but with the blush u cud turn it off…so dont undestand why the upgrade does not

    May 12th, 2008 | 4:48 pmnatalia

    Hi

    To all those of u who are asking about the mp3 player being turned off. if you go to Settings and then Privacy, you can create a password for the phone. Once you have given a password, when u close the phone it will no longer show ur mp3. I got this phone today and love it. the style everything. The only bad thing is about setting a code for ur mp3 not coming on, well every time u want to use ur phone u have to key in the number u have chosen. But I like it this way as i dont want to keep seeing the mp3 player and its good to key in a code which means if somebody getsa hold of ur phone u dont want them to look at ur texts or somethin,g then they wont be able to!! WINNER!!

    Hi Got This phone for christmas liked it at first den hated it, all of my ova friends have reallly good ones were the sounds all loud, goood themes, can actually send music unlike my phone doesnt!
    Want to get the W58iO in Red!!
    Its Bout £100

    Dont get the phone screen to small, low sound and doesnt send music properly.

    July 17th, 2008 | 1:30 pm7845732

    I had dis ph. from last 3 mths……..
    its a gr8 ……. added some more beauties to my list ….
    u can put PRIVACY LOCK to avoid MP3 Player.
    Settings > Security > Privacy Lock > My Files (Select/Check)
    > Save > Enter Password (U can Put the Numbers of ur Choice - B4 dat u can check d default password in Owners Manual)

    It realy works ………….

    When u close Swivel … u will find “Enter Password” on screen …. but dont worry ….

    as you swivel the screen shut when the password comes on screen you can press the back button on the keypad and the password prompt will dissapear leaving you with your full screen background screen.
