Review Summary |
By Samsung's lofty standards, the camera-less SGH-X430 is a pretty modest handset. The lack of an external display and lackluster SMS interface will leave users perplexed, but the good display and sound redeem the model somewhat. |
A combination of good design and a fully customizable user interface make the Hero a great smartphone. A boon for the Android platform still in its infancy. |
The Satio delivers great pictures and comes with many high-end features, but the inconsistent user interface of the platform mars the overall experience of the device. |
