CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8

The good: Classy design with solid build quality; excellent keypad; decent set of camera features; 3G with HSDPA; Bluetooth with A2DP; FM radio; microSD expansion card slot.

The bad: Uses LED instead of Xenon flash; screen legibility suffers under direct sunlight; character limit in subject field when creating calendar appointments; below average battery life; sluggish picture browsing on the phone.

The bottom line: The Samsung Soul doesn't do everything; there's no Wi-Fi or GPS for starters. But for everything else, there's plenty enough to enjoy.

Samsung never fails to deliver!

May 16, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Slide, Touchpad Navigation, More themes.
Cons: Uncustomizable right soft key.
Opinion:
Except for the fact that the right soft key cannot be cuztomized to your liking, I think I don't see why this phone will not win the award again this year.

It's a slide phone, had B&O powered speakers, has a decent 5MP camera, and to sum it up, it has that touchpad for navigation use.

Anyone looking for an upgrade now should be eyeing the prices on this! :P
