Featuring a modern, refined design, both compact and superbly ergonomic, the Samsung C3050 is a great option for mobile phone style seekers.

A sleek sliding handset, the Samsung C3050 is all smooth edges and quality build. The keypad is a little flat but very well spaced, and the navigation keys stand out in a different shade to the rest of the phone. Selection, answer and end call keys surround a decently sized navigation pad.  The display is a  2 inch LED screen and provided good viewing in most light situations. 

Being a mid range phone, the Samsung C3050 is not packed to the rafters with features, but it has enough capabilities to keep you happy.  There is a VGA camera that takes satisfactory photos and, surprisingly, can even create a panoramic picture for you by stitching several shots together. This is a cool function that you don't see in all cameras, let along mobile phone cameras.

There is also an MP3 player and a built in FM radio. Both of these features can play background music while you are accessing other applications and provide decent sound quality with the included Samsung headphones. The C3050 has a microSD card slot for additional storage, and can also send and receive files via Bluetooth or a mini USB port.

Other features of this handset include a voice recorder a wide range of PIM (personal information management) functions. The Samsung C3050 stocks an organiser, an alarm clock, a world clock, a stopwatch, a timer and a calculator.
