Basics
Cheap Samsung models are usually based on the same scheme. C170, however, is kind of an exception, as it has a different menu. As there’s no 5-way navigation button, we can move around only vertically. In order to avoid this being a problem, the designers have simply made the icons disappear and we only have a list view in the menu. Customizability is limited as well, we can change the wallpaper of the main screen and we can tamper with brightness and contrast, but that’s it.
The phonebook is very basic, we can store 500 contacts in it. A contact can have three phone numbers and an email address, although this doesn’t have much practical use, as the handset has no MMS or email support. Our main issue will be speed, as even an old, three-legged turtle moves faster than we do in the menu. This is mostly annoying when unlocking the keypad, as we press menu-*, but until the phone confirms it, we won’t be in the mood anymore to press keys.
Two of the usual Samsung issues have been solved. The “center button opens WAP” symptom is now not present, as there is no center button. Fortunately they managed to disable the automatic T9 when editing messages, but the phone still can’t ring and vibrate at the same time. The tones are terrible and we won’t put much extra ones on the 600 KB internal memory. The speaker is incredibly loud and it also has an incredible distortion: something for something.
The PIM functions include a calendar with month view which can have a single type of entry that has a text and an alarm time, that’s it. The alarm clock can handle more alarm times, which is great; the calculator is so basic that after entering an operation I’ve been seriously thinking how will it display the result, and finally the call accept key was the winner of the contest.
