Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Many, Un-reliable product

I have had many mobile phones over the past few years and apart from them going out of fashion or some other excuse to buy a new model I was very recently tempted by a new model from Samsung "The C100"
Well I bought it from Argos stores as a pay as you go phone on the 1st Sept 2003 it worked for a couple of days then people I called started complaining they got a squealing noise which I could not hear but so many people mentioned it I went back to an older phone for a couple of days and there was no problem.
Argos do NOT want to know about it except they will send it away for repair but the local store does not know where they go to for repair.
Argos seem to think they have their own special rule despite selling regulations that means phones in particular are exempt from being returned as faulty goods for replacement or refund even after one day!
Samsung do NOT want to know either and also declined to replace it or intervene they use a third party repair company and to quote from their email it will be repaired when and if spares are available for this model.
A major worldwide electronic company but they cannot repair their own products.
I suggest you DO NOT purchase this make or model and give a lot of thought before considering Samsung items in this product range.
