Supreme 3G functionality in a well tested design

Feb 4, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Sturdy clamshell design, full featured 3G functions, beautiful screen resolution and color rendering
Cons: lacks the accesibility of features as seen in other brands
Opinion:
The beautifully crafted design is well tested from previous Samsung clamshells. Very sturdy and compact. The main display is brilliant and renders pictures very clearly. Keypad layout is very comfortable even for big hands. Transflash memory expansion, blutooth and 3G are well integrated into the software giving this model a real edge in the 3G arena.

Excellent features, easy to use, if the battery only lasted as much as any other regular cell phone... it would be perfect.

 


Still the lightest and hottest 3G phone

She got all kind of connectivity options you need!!!
Light and compact, also easy to drop :) Battery will heat up once turn on video streaming > 1 min and battery bar drop as well. Typically need to recharge daily to avoid no batt :) Used to be a Symbian 60 user, really felt something was missing after switching to this phone, just like ex-Win 95 user using MS-DOS!

 

BEST handphone ever!!!

Opinion:
U will get anything in this handphone. Friendly interface menu, many shortcut keys, 3G phone, Bluetooth, infrared, dual camera (1 megapixel & VGA), media player(plays MP3, AAC, AAC+, MP4 , midi, mmf, etc.), TransFlash memory card slot, light weight (94g), 50MB onboard flash memory, 64-chord polyphony, photo-edit features. This phone is the lightest 3G phone & valuable phone in the market now. If compared with SE K750i & SE W800i, this phone might just lose to them the 1-megapixel camera (SE K750i & SE W800i are 2 megapixels). But if we bought this phone we usually won't change any phone for a few years just because of the 3G AGE. ^^
