Samsung SGH-B2700 was launched in September last year, and it was promised that it would withstand much extra shock, dust, and not least moisture. The phone's cover is actually made of material urethane, which is also used in the example, skateboard wheels, so there is no doubt that the phone is more durable than most. Samsung SGH-B2700 is aimed at those who would like to have your mobile with the mountain.
Looking out the harsh
B2700 is not really anonymous, and it is easy to see that the phone is more than most. It looks, however, not as brave as Sonim XP3, and can withstand less. While XP3 stated to be depressed one meter under water for half an hour, do not boost B2700 on something more than that it can withstand water spray.
To achieve this, the phone is well padded with rubber gaskets, and the keyboard is a full-body rubber mat.
The phone has large buttons, so they are easy to press even for those with large fingers marked by hard work. The letters and numbers on each key is also easy to see, with white font on a black background.
It is also easy to feel their way on key pad, and all in all, the keyboard is excellent writing SMS. If you hit your thumb with a little too far out on the edge of a key, you must press quite hard. This can be a little unfamiliar in the beginning.
Low fixed up screen
The screen is bright and easy to read. It is not the most transparent we have seen. It is small and low resolution, which means that it only gives a good overview of simple tasks. To take the specifications is the 1.9 inch high and has 176 x 220 pixel resolution.
The screen is straightforward to enter phone numbers, write SMS or exercise simple form of planning with the calendar. But you should surf the Internet with cell phone, use it as email or process little planning can quickly lose track of the small screen.
The menus also support simple multi-task execution, so that you can listen to music while writing a text message.
Otherwise, the menus are clear and straightforward, with a few logical shortcomings can easily be accustomed with. Instead of a separate "plan" submenu, B2700 has been that "alarms" option in the main menu. Should use other planning functions, which are those under the "Programs". The Bluetooth feature is located under "Programs".
SMS
For single use B2700 is very good. With this in mind, is the extra pain at the SMS feature is not as good. If you do not like to write with a dictionary, you must specifically disable this by holding the star, or select it every time you write a text message. This can fortunately make reasonable simply by holding the key in just over a second.
The dictionary works otherwise not completely optimal. Instead of pressing the space when you have found the word, you must use an extra key to confirm it within three seconds. In addition, you must erase the entire word if you chose the wrong words, instead of to go back and edit it so that the mobile, for example, Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
We miss also a list of symbols, which would make it easier to find the right symbols instead of pressing 0 or 1 a large number of times. For smileys find fortunately a separate track.
It had also been good to about the text message function had been readily available in the menus and did not require four to five key press, but a good shortcut to use to avoid the long way is to press the left when you are asleep.
