Samsung R210 Spex Cell Phone Review–Small But Smooth

I’ve dealt with a lot of different Samsung products in the past, and it seems like there’s usually something wrong with most of them.  Never anything really BIG, mind you, but something nonetheless.

And today, in talking about the Samsung R210 Spex, that something is its sheer small size.



The Samsung R210 Spex is a candy bar phone with Bluetooth capability, voice recorder, speakerphone options, Internet browser, a phone book with capacity for five hundred names, alarm clock, downloadable content including wallpapers and ringtones, an LCD display, and two hundred ten minutes maximum talk time on a single charge.

There’s plenty to like here, and the operation is smooth and uncomplicated, but the big problem here comes in the phone’s small size.  It’s not exactly simple to make some of those buttons press if your fingers are much bigger than, say, a PDA stylus.

But if you can wrap your hands around the fairly small controls then you shouldn’t have much trouble with the Samsung R210 Spex at all.

The Good

Lots of great options

Easy to learn and operate

The Bad

Tiny controls make for difficult operation
