Amazon.com Product Description

With the introduction of the Samsung c417, the "basic" handset has been forever redefined. Samsung has taken the most popular features--Bluetooth wireless technology, a VGA camera, instant messaging, and a speakerphone--and added a beautiful 2-inch, 65K color display, and quad-band world coverage. Yet, with all that power and functionality, the c417 still comes in an ultra-thin, ultra-stylish package. It's the perfect choice for the Cingular value-inspired customer who wants a full-featured phone at an affordable price.

Design
The c417 sports a slim, sleek clamshell design with a large 128 x 160 color display with over 65,000 colors. A supplementary, 96 x 64 monochrome OLED screen on the front of the cover keeps you up to speed on time, date, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side of the phone, while most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. There's also a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, while the phone's charging port is placed on the bottom of the unit.

Calling Features
With a big 500-contact address book, the c417 is designed to hold all of your important calling information. The phone also features 40-chord polyphonic ringtones, and in addition to the built-in ringers, you can download additional ones from Cingular's MEdia Net service. A vibrate alert silently notifies you of incoming calls when you want to be discreet, and a handy speakerphone lets you talk hands-free or hold conference calls. Meanwhile, ringer and picture ID lets you assign photos and ringtones to callers.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Powerful messaging and Internet capabilities are built into the c417. Support is provided for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via MMS messages. Instant messaging is also supported via the AOL and Yahoo! messaging clients. There's even a built-in web browser for downloads and mobile web browsing if you opt for the MEdia Net service from Cingular. MEdia Net lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the c417 including a calculator, an alarm, a voice memo recorder, a to-do list, and a calendar.

Entertainment
The c417 takes pictures the way you want to take pictures. The phone allows you to choose from four different picture resolutions, and sports a digital zoom feature. And don't forget, the built-in self-timer allows you to get yourself into the picture. The c417 also allows you to set screensavers, themes and wallpapers to suit your tastes. The phone is Java enabled as well, meaning the phone supports games written on the Java platform.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-c417 weighs 2.86 ounces and measures 3.66 x 1.89 x 0.65 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 10 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

The worst phone I've had.......2007-03-22

I have bad signal or non at all in places where I used to have signal all the time. A co-worker had the same problem and told her to return before 30 days(wish I had) - Can't change the screen menu. The camera button goes off all the time (badly situated). Not a good ringtone listed. Battery marker will have 3 bars and then none. Can't wait to change it!

Sorry, But I Have Bad News ..........2007-02-12

I bought this phone in Mid-Jan '07. It was fine for my purposes, but this weekend, I went to download and install the Personal Information Manager (PIM) software and got some bad news. (For you newbies - The PIM software is what allows you to sync your phone w/your Contacts on your PC ...)

1) Per Samsung Tech Support (no, not Customer Support), the software is still not available. 2) The PIM software is being written by an unaligned 3rd party in Korea and Samsung does not support it. 3) You MUST buy the PKT433 Data Kit. You can't buy the cable separately and just download the software from Samsung (which it's there.) You can forget about using the USB cable from Cingular or anyone else (that fits w/the phone.) When you launch the app (after installation), the File -> Setup does confirm that the PIM wants a Serial connection, not a USB connection! Hence, ... 4) The Data Cable is a Serial cable, NOT a USB cable!!! 5) The unaligned software writer in Korea has missed deadline after deadline and no one knows when the kit will be issued. (You have to 'watch' the accessories list for the phone to know when the PKT433 Data Kit is available ...)

I already have something in my Serial port. And I also learned from Samsung TS that the C417 is the ONLY phone via Cingular that has a Serial data cable! The other phones have their kits available too!!! Go figure ...

I love this phone!.......2007-02-10

This phone is a great one! I didn't expect for it to be as nice as it was until I recieved it. I do not have the samsung c417 in black but I do have it in red. I recomend the red if you love the color! Its really shiny, and it makes it stand out over all the other phones on the market. Its thin and lightweight. The phone is about 4.5 inches in height including the atenna (without it would be roughly 3.5 inches in height)On its side view the phone its less then 1 cm thick roughley 0.8mm The width of the phone is a little more than 1.5 inch. (sorry if my meausrements are a little off,) but still its a nice size for a phone.

pros:

It has a very nice camera with sharp picture showing most detail. I love the red color of the phone! Its easy to flip open and close. The buttons are nice and flat. The phone has a nice shape. The internal screen display is colorful and bright.

cons:

There isn't a flash on the camera. The games are just demos. Buttons on the inside of the phone may become slippery since they are so flat. I didn't like the placement of the camera button on the outside, but I haven't taken any "random" pic. by accident so far. I also wish there were ringtones to my liking, but that all depends on who the owner of the phone is. If you dont like the ringtones this phone offers no biggy, just downlad a ringtone from the phone's media mall in the main menu.

Overall this is really a great phone. I would rate this a 5 star, but I haven't had it for that long to rate it so high. So if you are considering to purchase this phone I do recommend it!
:D take care!

Not a dropped call.......2007-01-24

I've used this phone now for about two months, and I love . So far not one dropped call. Its hard to say if its Cingular or the phone, well it doesn't matter.

great phone.......2007-01-06

i work at Cingular and to inform everyone the sim card error is due to incompatability with newer sim cards. if you are having this problem take the phone to a cingular store and tell them, they will exchange your sim card free of charge. we sell far more of these phones than any other phone we have and have had maybe 3 returned for problems other than the sim card issue.
