Samsung scores with Cool factor

Apr 13, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Cool Touch Wheel, Symbian S60, Clear displays, responsive keypads, B&O speakers, ICE amp, 3.5mm audio jack
Cons: No WIFI
Opinion:
IF you can live without WIFI and are happy with 3G and HSPDA, this is the phone for you. I love the fact that it has a great speaker, nice ICE amp from B&O and a cool interface. The MicroSD is hotswappable up to 4GB. Plenty of free apps to run on S60. The browser is good, full screen browser. The camera is decent with flash. Good enough for blogging.

I bought this phone after reading all the reviews and compared it with Nokia N81 and Nokia E51. In the end I chose i450 because it is a great music phone and comes with S60 and a camera with flash.

Great phone with good mp3 function

Mar 26, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: MP3 and Nokia S60 Software
Cons: camera quality
Opinion:
I bought the phone at the IT show. The color is a cool red with white.

I definitely think the 1st review of this product definitely did no justice to this phone when the reviewer is not even an user.

Talking about this phone, it has excellent mp3 functions. With a B&O equaliser built in for the 3.5mm jack. Music quality is pretty good. The other side of the slide is a really cool way for you for music control. There's also a speaker for you to blast your music. I would say the quality is pretty good as well.

I was comparing this phone with the N81 2GB prior to that. In terms of features, the i450 is definitely no where near the N81. No games is pre-loaded and there's no wifi for this phone. But in terms of price, there is definitely a significant differences. I was checking out a hp store in suntec just ... Read more

Solid Phone - Great Music on The Go

Mar 21, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Solid construction, Good Keypad, Very Good Sound thru Headphones
Cons: Camera not up to scratch for even for a 2MP, Poor Bundle on 1 GB card
Opinion:

Bought a black version from the recent ITShow 2008 at Suntec.

First, the interface is S60 and is very like the Nokia 6120 Classic which is the last S60 phone I used. If I were to scratch out the Samsung logo I would mistake it for a Nokia S60 phone. There is even an acknowledgement that the platform is developed by Nokia and licensed by Nokia.

The sound with a good pair of headphones is very good -- better than my SE w660i or w910i. The B&O (Bang & Olufsen) equalizer provides great flexibility without degrading the sound too much. However, the advertisements you see about blasting the i450 are greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately, it's nowhere that good -- through the headphones, sure, but through the small loudspeaker - sound is clear but very thin and there is no bass. I tried it at the very crowded IT Show -- ... Read more
