Samsung B2100 Solid Extreme, treat me rough
Look, I'm in water!
It’s been interesting watching the ‘rough n tough’ phones evolve over the years. I still have, and still use my Nokia 5140i, which I have certainly abused over the years. What interests me about this breed of phones is that unlike the ever changing ‘technology’ phones, the ‘tough’ phones are actually built to last. So as long as you’re not interested in the latest gadgetry and just require a reliable phone that will literally last you years then this breed will be right up your street.
The Samsung B2100 Solid Extreme is an ultra tough mobile phone that’s going to take it’s main rival, the Sonim XP3 head on.
Both models are near identical in technology terms and are both IP57 certified – which basically means that they are fully waterproof upto a depth of 1 metre & has a high degree of dust protection.
The Samsung B2100 Xplorer though is a lot easier on the eye though than the “brick like” XP3, in fact, it’s almost good looking, or at least purposeful looking.
The B2100 has a varied working operating temperature and can work between as low as -20 and as high as +60 making it the perfect companion for virtually any climate. The exterior is rubberised to maximise grip & if you should happen to drop it, the anti-shock materials from the urethane body will soak it up upto around a 2 metre fall – reassuring to know but not wise to try ! Theres also a dedicated flashlight key (something that has got me out of trouble in my local mountain environment) should you get caught in the dark and noise cancellation with dedicated microphone for busy and noisy environments.
The Samsung B2100 has quite a few handy features too, with bluetooth, FM radio, 1.3 megapixel camera and multimedia player with expandable memory also.
So, if you work outdoors, play outdoors or just want a ‘tough’ phone because you are tough and so is your bulldog, then have a look, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Sony Ericsson T707, elegant
It’s nice to see Sony Ericsson bring out a good looking phone again. Not your usual box, the T707 has elegant lines and uses lighting to accentuate its good looks. This one seems to be aimed at the ladies as it has been endorsed by Maria Sharapova and Sony Ericsson say “Coordinate the T707 to any outfit, as it comes in a rainbow range of three clam shells to suit every mood”, not something the guys make a habit of I’m sure.
There’s no doubt tho, the Sony Ericsson T707 certainly has that all important WOW factor with an array of dazzling & pulsating lights.
The T707 is a vibrant handset that will pulsate to your music & your mates too & it’s loaded with top-notch features that will keep you coming back for more for a very long time.
With an FM radio, multi-media player and fast one-touch internet access, the Sony Ericsson T707 knows just how to entertain. And with upto a whopping 16Gb of memory available, the T707 will soak up all of those images and music files that you care to save.
Shake it baby! – Control your T707 without having to touch it. Gesture control lets you mute an incoming call or snooze the alarm by simply sweeping your hand over your phone. The phone camera functions as a sensor to register movement.
Day & Night – Day breaks, night falls – let your phone reflect it. The Day and Night theme makes the desktop and menus in your phone change as day turns to night.
Blog-It ! – You get your own personal blog site with your phone. So why not add some moving pictures to it? Shoot a video clip, and all it takes to upload it is a few clicks.

Exclusive to Vodafone, the HTC Magic is powered by Google’s own ‘Android’ mobile operating system.
Why the hype ? Well, it’s the first smartphone to operate on the new Android platform that’s linux based and is part of an open-source initiative that has thousands of developers working android on different applications that an Android phone can use. Google have tweaked this technology and have come up with a handset that will directly challenge the windows based smartphones from Microsoft and the iPhone from Apple.
The Magic looks familiar as it is made by HTC and has a large 3.2″ touchscreen display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 3G, WiFi, aGPS and expandable memory.
The Android system is “finger friendly” so you can simply drag – drop etc as you would with your laptop. The Magic has one touch access to Google search and other Google applications such as Google Mail, YouTube, Google Talk instant messaging and Google Maps and Google Street.
