KIRTH, LEMINGTON SPA , “I'm not easily pleased!”

Score 10.0/10

+ As a pensioner, I find the phone easy to see and operate. The features are easy to understand and use. Given the specification and the price, this is excellent value for money. I was so impressed that I bought one for my wife.

- I can't fault this product.

Darren, Plymouth

Score 4.0/10

+ battery life is excellent and phone is reasonably easy to use. A good phone if you just text and make calls.

- This is supposed to be a tough, rugged phone. I badly cracked the screen on mine within 3 days just working with it in my pocket. Ring tones are too quiet.

Andrew, Edinburgh

Score 3.0/10

+ Very tough, water resistant, proper old fashioned indestuctible phone like the old Nokia 5100. Wee LED light is handy, though sadly not as good as that ancient Nokia.

- Worst interface I've ever found on any electrical device, it's actually harder to use than my JXD music player, and all of its options are in chinese. Horrible to use. I still can't find the apostrophe! Every menu has needless complication in it, frinstance when you take a photo there's no simple option to save and then take another. It's just nasty. When you pick up a nokia, you never need to read the manual, it all just works. This thing, I had to read the manual to send a text message!

- Volume of ring tone is low, get plenty of missed calls, you would think a phone designed to be used in a hard working enviroment would be audible, the vibrate function helps a little.

Expert reviews for Samsung M110

TechRadar expert review

When something claims to be tough our first reaction tends to be "we‚Äôll see about that."Samsung‚Äôs Solid makes much of its strong points ‚Äì that is, that it‚Äôs capable of withstanding a bit of bashing and splashing that would floor less macho mobiles.But while it‚Äôs tempting to test a tough-guy phone to destruction, Samsung‚Äôs Solid is pitched more as a mobile built for outdoors enthusiasts and trades people rather than as a phone built for post-Armageddon texting.A few other manufacturers have introduced ruggedised phones before, but this is Samsung‚Äôs first effort.…
