The good: Unusual design; good headphones; lots of onboard memory. View score
The bad: Tiny screen; fiddly controls.
The bottom line: They say that sometimes you have to suffer for fashion, but in the case of the Samsung F210, we'd rather not. The small screen and fiddly controls mean it would be towards the bottom of our list if we were on the look out for a fashion mobile.

Great female phone!
Dec 10, 2007Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Looks like a lipstick, Makes lady-like noises. Sings like a songstress.
Cons: The music player is the only thing you can access with the phone closed.
Opinion:
Nice, shiny and small; but thick like a lipstick. The memory is built in 1GB with micro SD expansion of 2GB. Tiny screen but text can be enlarged. Great sounds.
The music player is the only function that can be used with phone closed - which can be irritating, depending on how you view it. To use the phone, it has to be flipped out.
I am rating it for what this phone touts itself as, a music phone. Games are a bit too taxing on such a small screen.
All's great but...

Pros: beautiful, sexy, huge memory with card expansion...
Cons: cannot install java applications...
Opinion:
the samsung F210 has but 2 java games installed under its "java world" function. they're great games but it gets boring to play them after a while. so u get to discover wth horror that u simply cannot install any new java applications or games to your F210! u can transfer the jad and jar files via USB and bluetooth, no problem with that, but the java apps just simply wouldn't run from phone memory nor memory card. the F210 evidently supports java (cos there ARE 2 games running fine) but samsung is simply not allowing its users to install new ones on it. the phone has a HUGE memory, but it seems like samsung is quite adamant that all the mem space is to be used for storing mp3s and nothing else... it is so frustrating!!!
