Samsung SGH-C140, digital convergence at its best … not!

by Phil Starn on January 23, 2007

We often hear people say how they want a cell phone to make phone calls. Not play games, take pictures and listen to music. Just make calls. Well, Samsung had a thought for these people: the Samsung SGH-C140.

This cellular phone is just that: a phone. No high tech gadget or other features you don’t want to pay for. The Samsung SGH-C140 is pretty cheap: about $57. Some of its features include a 128×128 color display, 3 hours of talk time and JAVA support. Sadly, it’s not yet available in North America.

I can see a lot of people who have basic needs for a cell phone buying this one. The Samsung SGH-C140 looks like a great entry-level phone, it is cheap and it fulfills all our basic cellular communication needs: SMS, EMS, MMS and… touch tone.

I also have the SGH C140 and I’m trying to find out how to enable the speakerphone feature. Is this an automatic feature, or do I need to go somewhere in the menu to enable it? The instructions are very vague in a lot of areas, I.E., what is the FDN mode in security for?
