No memory card

The B2700 is the 26 MB memory, which keeps a lot of photos, but hardly much music. The phone has a slot for memory cards of the type of Micro-SD support up to 8 GB.


These are included in the box:
  • Charger
  • Earphones/Handsfree
  • USB cable
  • User Manual
  • Software for Windows
  • Hook


The use of B2700 as MP3 player, you must therefore set up a memory card on the purchase list. Headset that comes with you can tell with replace with a transition to 3.5 billion meters minijack and a decent headset.

Handles most

B2700 to be, according to Samsung withstand water and dust, and is also the additional protected against shock. For this is the phone good with a turned, and has rubber gaskets to protect from water and moisture. Better insulation also result does not create so much condensation inside the phone when you move from the cold outdoors to the heat inside.

In the test phone take on conversations in the rain, and has also been placed outside in the rain and close to a stream of water. Taken together, the phone has experienced an estimated two hours in high humidity. In addition, it is not purely rarely been "lost" in the snow.

All this phone has tolerated without receiving any reduced functionality. It is clear that the rubber gasket keeps damp away from electronics. We are exposed to test items available for the same strain, with no exemption in the result.

Urethane shell also appears to be solid, and we had no scratches in the test despite the fact that we stored the phone with the keys and was generally extremely low caution. Neither the screen had some scratches.

Your phone is also being lost in the ground. We got it in repeatedly, and it is clear that the phone must have a higher water to be destroyed by hitting the ground.

We also drove over the phone with the car, without the phone took damage. But when we tried to maintain 30 km/h over the phone and met with one wheel, the screen on the test specimen cracking. This is not much to complain of, but the phone is not "to suddenly become very vulnerable to over 300 kg weight, and you should avoid running over with a car or stepped on by an adult polar bear.

To sum up, can withstand B2700 proper amount. We know by experience that the common mobile phones do not tolerate the treatment we exposed B2700 for, and not before we ran over mobile phone in a fairly high speed took the phone visible damage. It can withstand not to lie in the water, although it is natural to believe that it keeps the water out if you are quick to pick it up again.

B2700 has a proprietary Samsung port for data transfer, which is also used for headsets and charging. This also supports charging through the USB port.

That there is only one port for all this, makes it a little impractical to for example listen to music while charging your phone or use it for data transfer.

Fast to access

B2700 is lightning quick in the menus, and you'll never have to wait many milliseconds customers no matter what you do. Java performance is also quite okay.

B2700 is an affordable technology impoverish the phone, if we look away from features such as flashlight, Altimeter and compass. It lacks, for example, super-3G, Wi-fi and GPS. The phone's price levels, however, nor that it should have some of these technologies.

The phone has a 3G and Edge. So you can take video calls and surf the Internet in high speeds wherever you may be located. But the fastest super-3G speeds you can not get access to.

Bluetooth version 2.0 is in place, and ensures fast transfers. We measured around 800 kbps, and it is quite okay speed, even if many phones provide around 1000 kbps.

A2DP support is also in place, and ensures that your phone supports wireless stereo headsets. It can be an advantage if you do not like the cord, but the solution also reduces the sound quality.

Good quality sound

Sound quality in calls is absolutely phenomenal. When we first talked on the phone the voice almost sound natural counterparty and the sound can be set very high.

Battery life is given to five hours of talk time in 3G, but we measured it to the entire 6 hours of talk in our laboratory. It is certainly not bad. Idle time is given to 350 hours or 14.6 days.

Poor web browser

Samsung have as normal, pre-installed NetFront browser from Access. This is not a good browser, because the company seems to have forgotten to innovate in recent years. The B2700 can not browser to view the larger websites, but only simpler custom mobile pages.

The browser puts everything in one column by default, so you do not have to navigate in two dimensions. However, a zoom feature that was just as easy as many of the Opera and Nokia browsers have certainly been preferable.

We preferred to use Opera Mini to surf the internet. This browser is easy to install by pointing your mobile browser to operamini.com, and you only pay for data traffic. Once you have Opera Mini is faster and cheaper to surf, because Opera Mini uses its own servers that finished chew and compresses web pages before they are loaded onto your phone.

In addition, the phone has a built-in RSS reader, so you can catch the news in a straightforward manner.

Simple email

B2700 has a separate installation guide for e-mail, which makes it very easy to set up e-mail account.

E-mail reader works fine, but the small screen makes it difficult to use for advanced use. Yet you can easily receive and respond to e-mail on the go, even if you have a much smaller list than on smart phones.

The calendar is also straightforward. This includes support for anniversaries and appointments, which hold for the majority. In the task list, set the date and duration, but this is unfortunately not linked to the calendar.

Calculator, stopwatch, countdown timer, conversion tools, voice and alarm clock are also in place, and all functions works just flawless. The alarm clock lets you set a variety of repeating alarms.

The calculator is simple to use, and also mathematical functions Ln, sine, cosine and tangent and the inverse of these. Pi and square root functions are also present in the function list.

Address Book also works okay, and you can add all the basic information in addition to their own ringtones and images per contact, e-mail address and multiple phone numbers.
