Samsung Metro B350E

Advantages: Excellent, strict and stylish appearance (in black and blue version). Excellent reception in single-sim mode. Large and high-quality display. Excellent key backlighting. Torch. Micro USB. Standard headphone output. Normal sized internal memory for call signals.

Disadvantages: Poor quality reception in two-sim mode (the impression that the power of the receiver is divided into two). One speaker for calls and conversations - so the sound quality of signals and music is not very. Apparently a weak processor, because saved SMS opens with a delay. The inability to increase the font when writing SMS - only when reading incoming.

Comment: For a state employee, the phone turned out to be good, especially considering the hard times. It looks very stylish and dignified. I am glad that in the single-sim mode the reception quality is excellent. Great big display. A light weight. The back cover is ribbed - it is convenient, the phone does not slip in your hand. In general - a good, good machine.

Advantages: Screen, and appearance - with dignity
Good enough battery for a button-1300
Audibility of the interlocutor confident, loud
Ring tone volume
Small weight
At least some kind of camera, the ad can be clicked
Torch,
Bluetooth
Long charger cord,
Contact and Call Book
In sms font can be increased
The back cover is rough, scratches will not be visible

Disadvantages: Overpriced
Loud buttons
Several zamorochenny desktop
Vibro so-so
No USB cable included

Comment: I will compare with C3322:
The screen is large with a decent viewing angle, better than 3322
Audibility interlocutor better at 350
Good build
Cameras are the same
Switching a SIM card at 350 - hold #
The sound of the incoming call is also reduced by the joystick
350 more in size, but not heavy
Flashlight shines mine well
Contact book is similar to 1000 numbers
The number of characters for one contact is 20, as for fly 241, against 40 for s3322 and for Filipk 1560
The buttons on the C3322 are softer and more pleasant to use, but are 350 letters larger
There are t9, until the learner understands or not
The desktop is like a smartphone, switching the table by moving left and right, on the button it is inconvenient or unusual
The menu has the ability to move the icons for themselves, while remembering the game in the corners ... Namudrili ...
Vibro at s3322 seems to be stronger
THAT you didn’t like at the end of the call, to go to the initial screen, you need to at least press the reset button three times.
Through 8 contacts stubbornly does not determine from the book, only through +7
RESULT: on s3322 the menu is more convenient and the buttons work more pleasantly, aluminum gives strength and solidity.
The 350 screen is better, the charge is longer, the audibility is better.

I recommend to buy a phone, choosing between fly 241 and Philips x1560
Flay scared off the auditory speaker, judging by the reviews, there are many complaints about excessive loudness during a conversation, which cannot be reduced without dancing with a tambourine, the 350 has no such thing.The rest of the fly is a normal device.
Phillips 1560 has such drawbacks with which I can not put up: 1) with such a capacious battery there is no flashlight
2) and most importantly, he calls from the SIM card which is installed by default, ie switching between SIM cards will not work, you will only call from the main one.
Otherwise, I liked Phillips, especially his menu with no frills, and surprisingly nice buttons)

I have a B350 for three days of very active conversations. Yes, this is not a super capacious battery, but otherwise I liked it.
4 points I put only because of the menu, and I would have put 5.
All good shopping!

Advantages: Design, weight, ergonomics, battery, 2 sim cards.

Disadvantages: Too loud keys, long hang up call and unlock. The flashlight turns on only after unlocking.

Comment: If you compare it with Samsung S3592 and 5610, then you can assign a melody and image to a contact from a memory card, and they will not be copied into the phone's memory, games are also installed on the memory card.
There is a record of telephone conversations (but you need to turn it on manually every time through options, the left key), the quality is good.
I like the voice of the subscriber (IMHO), but here it is necessary to understand that everyone has different hearing.
There is a flashlight and there's nothing more to add about it, the keyhole will be enough to highlight.
I don’t say, I don’t use the musical and photographic possibilities.
In general, the device is not bad, I do not need more for a dialer.
When you buy, call someone, you may not like the speaker, after I made a couple of calls, I immediately bought it. Before that there were doubts due to the presence of one speaker.
The phone is expensive, but the ruble exchange rate is quite a cake, I bought bonuses for thanks from Sberbank, so the price made me happy.

Advantages: Easy, loud, good keyboard.

Disadvantages: Price, inhibition, especially at the end of a call, sometimes when an outgoing call is written, the call is completed.

Comment: I updated the firmware via Samsung Kies, I thought the glitches would go, but not. Overall fine.

Advantages: - Classic design
- High autonomy (1200 Mah battery)
- Large screen with good resolution
- Support for 2 sim cards
- Support for memory cards (up to 16GB)
- Bluetooth availability
- FM radio (works when headphones are connected)

Disadvantages: - Lack of 3G
- Very bad camera (despite 2mp)
- One speaker (combined for calls and calls)

Comment: Push-button cell from the eminent manufacturer - this is quite a rare phenomenon today. Therefore, my choice focused on 2 models - Samsung S5611 and Samsung B350. I dropped the dialers from Nokia right away, because the address book in them is completely none, and in such devices is the most important thing. Chose the B350, as there is support for 2 sim and a flashlight. Unfortunately, there is a disgusting camera in it, it would be better to have 3G support instead. It would be much more reasonable. It is very upsetting that for such a price in the device is a combined speaker. After all, even in the younger model, the Samsung B310 has two speakers. Very strange decision, given the price of the device. Despite the shortcomings, I recommend this model for purchase, since there are practically no alternatives.

Advantages: Battery-first charge lasted for 5 days. Number of contacts 1000. Notes-100. On each SIM card you can put your wallpaper - convenient, because Switching is carried out before the call and you can see (of course, if you remember on which SIM card you have which wallpaper) with which one you are going to call. The ability to drag icons to another page - select the "option" button. The second function after pressing “reset” has not yet been used - it is possible that this is the removal of the icon.The sound is loud enough, in the profile I set less than the maximum. The ability to set for each contact your own melody, your photo, additional numbers. There are widgets on the display and the ability to change-delete. Setting quick access through the menu: settings - telephone - customizable key - put the necessary checkboxes. After that, when you press the right upper button, it brings up a pop-up menu with a list of desired shortcuts.

Disadvantages: In the properties of contacts, there is only one name that is displayed on the display and consists of only 20 characters, is not enough for me. In the old Samsung D780 it was much more convenient - the division into a name, surname and display name is much longer 41 signs and notes for each contact. By the way, the management of the D780 was in my opinion more convenient, although of course you can get used to everything.

Comment: After a couple of days, a strange white point appeared in the middle of the display 5mm from the top, about 1mm in diameter. It can be seen on any wallpaper and on both SIM cards, but when the keyboard is locked and on the menu pages, it is not. Strongly not annoying. Yesterday, a square dot appeared next to it to the left, but today it suddenly disappeared. While not doing anything - watching. I think the firmware cant. By the way, when connected with Kies, the program issues an offer to upgrade to another firmware, I will try at leisure. In general, a good dialer, but if my old D780 did not die (suddenly falls into a reboot and sometimes does not turn on after that until you try 15 times), I would not change anything, in my opinion, Samsung unfairly simplifies the buttons.

Advantages: Good battery.
There is a blacklist for SMS and calls.
2 sim.
Switch between sims with one key.
On each SIM card, you can customize your wallpaper, theme, and ringtone.
You can also customize your tunes to your contacts.
The font in the incoming SMS is scaled in the settings.
Bluetooth works fine on calls and on the player.
Normal bright screen (customizable)
You can disable any SIM card or two at once, which is convenient when roaming abroad.

Disadvantages: In my opinion the price is too high.
One speaker, the volume of which is enough for a conversation, but for a call, for me, not very.
The quality of the player in the headphones is average, the folder does not support.

Comment: Phone took exclusively for calls. For the Internet, photos, mail, social networks and other functions there is a smartphone and I never make a tablet from them.
When choosing, compared with Philips, but they do not have some of the functions I need, for example, blacklists.
As a dialer, this phone suits me perfectly, there are no serious drawbacks. In the hand is good.
In my opinion it would be better if there were 2 speakers, but the quality of this one speaker is good, but not excellent.
Of course this is my subjective opinion.

Bottom line: A good machine, with many features and settings.

Advantages: - Convenient menu (you can change the application labels in places)
- A large number of widgets for the desktop
- 3 desktops
- A good mp3 player (for phone)
- Black list
- Ability to install 2 SIM cards
- Ability to add multiple numbers and email to one contact
- Opera pre-installed browser
- Ability to put on contact your melody
- Bright screen
- Little weight
- Flashlight (you can turn on if you press and hold the top of the joystick for a few seconds)
- Battery

Disadvantages: There are not enough separate buttons to adjust the volume of the music.

Comment: I bought my mother to replace her old Samsung. I needed a phone without a fancy, but a quality and inexpensive one. Surprisingly very light (compared to s5610). Buttons rubberized, do not require special effort to press.Very ascetic equipment - phone, battery, warranty, instructions and charging, but in principle, what else is needed for happiness for such money? The battery lasts a week (mostly the phone was used for calls and listening to music).

Advantages: Relatively normal contact book of commercially available buttons that are on sale; good loud sound in the speaker; adequate battery; there is a flashlight, comfortable buttons, a classic design, it looks good, it fits comfortably in your hand; nice bright screen, visible even in bright sunshine.

Disadvantages: You can not hang on the joystick go to the SMS list, you need to go through the menu. The player is sharpened to categorize music by artist, type, you can play playlists, but just to play all the files from a folder in a row without any problems - you can't, you have to mess around with the playlist. But if in the folder there are compositions of different artists and categories, then this playlist is still a mess, if there are a lot of tracks.

Comment: Against the background of the buttons from Nokia, this is a masterpiece! The most important thing in a button phone is not the camera, not the player, but the phone book and the convenience of using it. Contacts are called from the main screen. You can configure which contacts to display: on sim1, on sim2, on the phone. The main course of contact storage in the telephone. Each contact may contain the following fields: Name: text field 20 characters. Note: There is no separation on the name. Mobile Phone e-mail ringtone, picture. You can also add additional fields via the [options] -> [add fields] button. Additionally, you can add two more fields to the contact to choose from the types: mobile phone, group, e-mail, fax, other. In total, I could store four phone numbers and two emails in contact. There is a feature, if you have selected a contact in the phone book and want to call not the number displayed under the name, but for a different contact number, then you need to press the central button of the joystick, select the phone number in the contact and press the call button. Why did I pay attention to this trifle, because On my previous button, a veteran of 10 years ago SE K310i, the choice of the number in the contact was made with the joystick left-right. But in principle, Samsung has been made sanely. There is no binding of a contact or a specific number in the contact to the SIM card, you must switch to the desired SIM before calling. Sim switch by pressing the [#] button. There is an archiving of the phone book on a memory card, there is synchronization, connection with a PC, but I have not yet used these functions yet. Standard options for transferring contacts from the phone to the SIM and back are naturally present. During the conversation, you can turn on the speakerphone, and you can record the conversation. Conversations are written in AMR format.
