Cnet reviews the Samsung FlipShot SCH-U900: “The Samsung  FlipShot SCH-U900 has a lot in common with the SCH-A990. Both have a standard, if somewhat boxy, flip phone design with straight lines and sharp angles. They also resemble standalone cameras when viewed from behind because of the large camera lens and flash. But more importantly, the Samsung FlipShot SCH-U900 also features a swiveling display that can rotate 180 degrees. It’s an interesting, and somewhat gimmicky, feature but it allows you maximum use of the camera. To take self-portraits, just open the front flap and rotate it clockwise until the display (which also acts as the viewfinder) faces the rear of the Samsung FlipShot SCH-U900. To take regular shots, you then can close phone so the main display faces outward. Not only does the latter movement activate the camera, but the phone also takes on the comfortable ergonomics of a standalone shooter. In a change from the SCH-A990, the FlipShot lacks a sliding lens cover, but that’s not something we miss.
The good: The Samsung FlipShot SCH-U900 has an attractive user-friendly design, a solid feature set, and an admirable speakerphone. It also offers an excellent megapixel camera with ...

Samsung BlackJack II Review by Cnet: “The Samsung BlackJack II is slightly thicker and heavier than its predecessor, but not so much that we found it to be bulky. Plus, the bigger size is for a good reason, as the extra depth allows for a larger-capacity battery. The Samsung BlackJack II measures 4.4 inches high by 2.3 inches wide by 0.5 inch deep and weighs 4 ounces (compared with 4.4 inches by 2.3 inches by 0.4 inch; 3.5 ounces), and is still one of the sleekest full-QWERTY smartphones on the market today–certainly more compact than AT&T’s other messaging-centric device, the Motorola Q9h. The Samsung BlackJack II is comfortable to use as a phone and a messaging device, and while having a more PDA-like design, it’s still possible to slip it into a pants pocket.
The good: The Samsung BlackJack II improves on its predecessor with Windows Mobile 6; GPS; a 2-megapixel camera; and more memory and better performance. The smartphone also features a larger display and enhanced full QWERTY keyboard as well as HSDPA support, Bluetooth , and AT&T Video Share support.
The bad: The front jog wheel feels loose and unresponsive, and the smartphone uses Samsung’s ...


PCMag reviews the Samsung i760: “The Samsung i760 is the best Verizon choice, if you need the power and flexibility of Windows Mobileâfor now. But knowing what’s coming down the pike, I already find myself pitting the Samsung i760 against two other Windows Mobile phones, both from UT Starcom: the XV6800 and the SMT5800, sliding 400-Mhz Windows Mobile phones that Verizon will release before the end of the year. According to its spec sheet, the SMT5800 has the same dual-keypad layout, 400-Mhz speed, and a better (2MP) camera, but, as far as I can tell, no Wi-Fi. The XV6800 has a bigger screen and Wi-Fi, but no dual keypad. But for now, the Samsung i760 is best balance of power and usability in a Verizon Windows Mobile device.”

PhoneScoop reviews the Samsung Juke: “The Samsung Juke does one thing really well, and many other things not so well at all. The sound quality from its music player is top-notch, and the adjustability of the equalizer alone is a very nice touch to have. But like so many other features of the Samsung Juke, the music player software itself is clunky to use because it requires you to use the spin wheel / D-pad in different ways for different purposes. This leads to a lot of confusion. Also, the switchblade-style hardware is very much biased towards people who hold phones in their right hand. Unfortunately, the detractors in basic usability trump the good performance of the music player.”

You read right, come CES 2008, Samsung is unveiling a 1.3-inch HDD, a 1TB 3.5" RAID Edition HDD and a new 320 GB 2.5" HDD. More curious than I am to see a 1.3" HDD, I wonder what the capacity will be.

Well, Samsung has just dropped a new phone, but they dropped it a good distance away from us, Korea to be exact. Regardless, it has a large AMOLED display and HSDPA, which only scratches the surface of the features.





PhoneScoop reviews the Samsung SLM SGH-A747: “The Samsung SLM SGH-A747 is thin, lightweight, and has FAST net access. Call quality is fantastic.
The Samsung SLM SGH-A747 is not a full-fledged Smart Phone, but I knew that going in — I didn’t use the “smart” features of my previous phone that much anyway. Compared to my last phone, I get better battery life, better signal, better call quality, and faster net access, in a much thinner, lighter package. Works for me, but people moving from newer phones could have different opinions.
My store had all the accessories I needed for the Samsung SLM SGH-A747Â in-stock — car charger, USB cable, leather case. The PC Suite software from Samsung’s site was able to load up my contacts from Outlook for me (the ONE feature I really needed but was afraid I was losing switching from the old Windows Mobile).
“Installing” my own custom MP3 ringtones and wallpaper were trivial even without Samsung’s software, as the Samsung SLM SGH-A747 can present itself as a USB Mass Storage device.”

PhoneScoop reviews the AT&T BlackJack II: “The AT&T BlackJack II is amazing. I used the previous model and really liked it but had some basic issues with it. The Blackjack II took all the issues I had with the phone and made them better.
My first issue with the orginal Samsung BlackJack was that when you have to enter the zero button you could not just hold down the spacebar you actually had to press function key. With the AT&T BlackJack II it is on a separate key that allows you to do this. In turn they took off the number lock button which is very disappointing.
The next issue is that there was neither WIFI nor GPS in the first model. They took care of the GPS problem by including it in the AT&T Blackjack II (drains the battery very quickly). Samsung tried for about 3 months to include WIFI but AT&T would not allow them to because it’s a low priced phone. It will take away from the data package that is required to use internet. (AT&T would loose money) Windows Media 6 is a great feature on the AT&T BlackJack II, but I still choose to install a program called fade overtop of it so that ...

“The Samsung Ace SPH-i325 offers a Windows Mobile Standard alternative to the BlackBerrys of the world with a slim shell, QWERTY keyboard, and landscape QVGA display; it’s probably not going to make any BlackJack II owners envious, but at least this gives Sprint customers a chance to keep up with the Joneses. Even better, Boy Genius Report claims that we might see a little GSM radio stuffed in there for the globetrotters in the crowd.”

The FCC today cleared the Samsung i325, a Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone similar to AT&T's BlackJack. Based on the BlackJack's European predecessor, the i320, the i325 features a 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, QVGA display, and QWERTY ...

The Samsung A411 is a wonderfully designed mobile phone that one can never be ashamed to show off in public. Itâs simplicity in design and the classic, retro like antenna on the top gives it a old school feel that still pleases the eye and conveys good style.
But as they say design of a mobile phone is just one of the things you look for a dependable mobile phone and what counts the most is the features and what it can offer, well make no mistake about it the Samsung A411 delivers in this field also. With an acceptable size of 94 x 48.5 s 19.5 millimeter size, the Samsung A411 is easy to use and store in your pocket, a lightweight with its 88 grams weight it is very easy to (more…)

ZDNet reviews the Samsung A737: “The Samsung A737 sports a thin slider style handset. While its basic shape and dimensions aren’t exceptional, the Samsung A737 does come in four colors: orange, red, blue, and lime. The color accents, which run down the side of each handset, provide a nice contrast to the simple black hue that covers the rest of the phone and they make for a unique look. We also enjoyed that the Samsung A737’s solid feel in the hand, its sturdy slider mechanism, and the handy thumb grip for moving the front face up and down.
The bottom line: Though it could make better calls and its connection speed was somewhat slow, the Samsung A737 is a well-designed and full-featured multimedia cell phone.”

Cnet reviews the Samsung T439: “The Samsung T439 has a comfortable feel in the hand and the hinge mechanism is sturdy. Yet we couldn’t help but notice that the back battery cover is made of a cheap plastic. It felt pretty flimsy, and it popped off by accident a couple of times. Front and center on the Samsung T439 is the postage-stamp size (0.78 inch) external display, which shows the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID. Though it’s monochrome, in standby mode it reverts to color so you can use it as a viewfinder for the camera. Also, it will show photo caller ID. The camera lens just above the display doesn’t have a flash. It doesn’t have a full self-portrait mirror either, but you can use the phone’s reflective face to take vanity shots.
The good: The Samsung SGH-T439 offers good call quality and a decent selection of features including Bluetooth, world phone support, and a megapixel camera.
The bad: The Samsung T439 has a low-resolution internal display, and its keypad and controls are poorly designed. It also has a flimsy battery cover.
The bottom line: The handset offers satisfying call quality, but it’s held ...

MobileReview reviews the Samsung G800: “The Samsung G800 is certainly a mixed bag. While it really resembles todayâs digital compacts design-wise and claims that it can shoot just as well (xenon flash, image stabilizer, optical zoom), its real picture quality is pretty much identical to the more affordable G600. It turns out the only thing going for the Samsung G800 is its advertising campaign. But will they be able to get it popular? I donât think so. While the Samsung G800 goes for about as much money as the Nokia N95, the latter sports a number of trumps â that is, WiFi, GPS-receiver and its smartphone functionality with more punch on offer, which makes it not an imaging-centric solution, but a mobile powerhouse.
The Samsung G800 is in line with other Samsung-branded devices. The ringtone volume is quite decent, as it can be heard in various environments. The silent alert is average strength-wise, no significant improvements have been made here.”
