First Impressions
I was always a fan of flip phones, and when I saw the samsung x200, I was pleasantly surprised, it is so cute, feature rich and so light weight (77gms), yet too cheap. you can get it fot just Rs 4500/- (or even less) in bangalore.

Voice memo (5 x 30 sec) can record the conversation also. some phones will allow you to record voice, but not during a conversation. this is a cool feature, and u can record the sound of your loved ones and hear it when u miss them :) isnt it cool?
Battery Backup------
Stand-by Up to 350 h
Talk time Up to 3 h
I am getting a battery life of two full days with a moderate usage, which I think is good.
If you are the kind of user who switch your mobile off when u sleep, u can get upto 3 days battery life.
Look and Feel
The phone looks rather simple and not a fancy looking phone in the market.
The feel is great, u can hold it inside ur hand when its folded, really small..
The keypads are correctly sized and no issue for typing errors for sms junkies..
Some Negative points
No one is perfect in this world. This cute fellow also have some drawbacks.
It really miss an external display, and you know its hard to tell who is calling in a flip phone if its not having an external display... I have a workaround for this, by giving group ring tones for all my important calls..
While riding, users may find it difficult to open the flip with a single hand, but it opens nicely for me :). Just Try how comfortable are u with opening it with one hand before u buy.
If u are in bangalore, u re surely gonna miss 91 FM, as ther is no fm radio in this one
Conclusion
So, if u are looking for a simple feature rich colour flip phone in a budget price, go ahead and buy it.
Hope u like my review.. If u did, please rate my review, so that I get encouragement for more reviews for all the mouthshut lovers... thank you...
