Very Good Phone September 6, 2010 Shishir It's a good cell phone which has all the basic functionalities in it. It is not recommended for high end cell phone users, but for basic users this is a very good handset. Its earpiece has very low volume which may cause problems in loud places.
Pictures and internet work on my B3310 September 4, 2010 euro traveler I bought this phone to replace an older unlocked Seimens model that I use exclusively while traveling in Europe,
buying local phone SIM cards as I switch countries. I like the Samsung so much, that I've decided to use it
here in the US as well.
The B3310 I received after ordering off of this page came in 2 days with standard shipping,
fulfilled by J&R Music World.
I was happy to find a Samsung USB data cable unexpectedly included, along with the phone, battery,
dual-voltage travel charger, user guide, and a cd with Samsung's PC Studio software.
The international charger has a plug made for US sockets, but since it's dual-voltage I can also use it in Europe by simply slipping a plug adapter over it.
Since I wanted to try the phone out in the US before taking it to Europe, I went to the local T-Mobile store and
bought a SIM card for $10. After the clerk activated it, I had $3.34 in credit on my phone to work with, more
than enough for me to evaluate the phone and the T-Mobile network in my area.
After reading about how some owners had problems with sending and receiving pictures via MMS, I asked the
T-Mobile clerk to send me a test MMS and my phone failed to show it. He then took the phone, called
T-Mobile help, and they walked him through setting up both the MMS and the WAP internet functions for me.
Not planning on using the internet as I use prepaid only, but it worked as designed on 2G.
Could I have set up the MMS and internet myself? Maybe, but it would have taken me forever.
Very thankful the clerk was so helpful when I all I did was buy a SIM card and no service.
After installing a 4gb microSDHC card I attempted to transfer some mp3 music files from my laptop to the phone,
and got a Windows message about a driver being needed. Slipped in the cd from the box and got the driver off
of it and tried again, successfully. Once the USB driver is installed, you can simple drag and drop files
into the phone's music folder from your pc.
You do not need to install the Samsung PC Studio. I did, but had trouble getting it to see the phone even after
choosing to install the program and the USB driver.
IMPORTANT: I had to turn my phone off while it was connected via USB after reinstalling program
and USB driver and only then did my Vista laptop recognize it and finish installing the USB driver.
This phone will see heavy texting while in Europe and the qwerty keyboard works wonderfully.
cute phone August 21, 2010 Q. Zhao (USA) This phone is small and cute. It has every function to meet your requirement if you don't want a data plan.
Good internatonal phone August 15, 2010 Maia (Reno, NV USA) A good choice if you want to a good basic phone that works for international travel and has a qwerty keyboard.
Note: When mine came I plugged it in to charge the battery, but it would not seem to charge. I thought either the battery or the charger were defective. Then I discovered that the battery was fully charged.
Phone doesn't work after 4 days August 14, 2010 Thomas Percell 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I ordered 2 of these phones based on the user feedback. Hands down, nobody can argue with the phones sleek look and messaging system. Only problem is.....after 4 days one of the phones does not work any more. I cannot hear or answer calls that come in. Both voice and speaker do not work. I am trying to get in touch with the provider and hope that they will respond based on this comment.
