Review: Samsung Juke music phone

Feb 6, 2008 Filed under: Samsung

Samsung G810 Camera Phone Announced

Feb 4, 2008 Filed under: Samsung

Samsung G810The Samsung G800 wasn’t much of a rival to the Nokia N95 so Samsung went on ahead and made its successor, the G810. As a camera phone, the G810 boasts the same 5 megapixel lens with Xenon flash and 3X optical zoom. By any stretch of logic, this is the better camera phone. Samsung has added 3.6Mbps HSDPA, faster than the N95’s HSDPA. Is this enough to beat the N95?

The 150MB memory and lack of GPS should be the next features Samsung should be working on the G820 to truly compete with the N95. In the N95, Nokia has accomplished the ultimate all-in-one phone. With already a year in the market, it has remained unsurpassed in that category. The G810 is definitely the better camera phone, but so was the G800. The G810 will sell for 580 Euros.

Reminder: The Samsung P2 Still Pwns

Feb 1, 2008 Filed under: Samsung

When I went to CES I carried a bag filled with the latest MP3 players. At various dinners and events I would pull out this magical bag of MP3 players for show and tell. It is one thing to read users’ reactions to MP3 player, but to be able to put one in their hands is when you really get quality feedback. Out of all the players the one that never ceased to impress was the P2, especially when I showed them how I could dial their phone without my Treo in sight. I like all of them, am still imp

Samsung SCH-R610 Review - PhoneScoop

Jan 30, 2008 Filed under: Samsung

Samsung SCH-R610PhoneScoop reviews the Samsung SCH-R610: “Overall the Samsung SCH-R610 is a great phone, I just don’t like the Carousel Bell added. I’ve been using the Moto Q for the past few months and definitely got used to the features of a PDA. Any basic phone user would love the Samsung SCH-R610, I’m just afraid to give it to a friend/family member because you can’t remove the browser shortcut from the carousel.

One thing though, no buttons respond when the phone is not slid up (even the power button). I thought my first phone was DOA because it wouldn’t turn on while the Samsung SCH-R610 wasn’t slid up…but once you know that, it’s nice because you don’t have to worry about any pocket mayhem.

Overall it’s a great phone, I just personally don’t like the carousel. If it wasn’t for that, I’d probably love this phone.”

Helio Samsung Mysto Review - Cnet

Jan 26, 2008 Filed under: Samsung

Helio Samsung MystoCnet reviews the Helio Samsung Mysto: “The Helio Samsung Mysto is one of the slimmest slider handsets we’ve ever seen, measuring a svelte 4.07 inches by 1.95 inches by 0.43 inch and weighing in at around 2.86 ounces. To slide the phone open, you’ll need to push on the bottom half of the front face, which can be a tad slippery–we wish there was some kind of nub for a better grip. The Helio Samsung Mysto comes in a sapphire blue with a nice metallic sheen.

The good: The Helio Samsung Mysto has a really slim profile with a very generous feature set that includes built-in GPS, EV-DO, a 2.0-megapixel camera, direct media uploads to Flickr and YouTube, a music player with access to Helio’s online music store, robust messaging options, a full HTML browser, and more. It also has a gorgeous 2.2-inch display.

The bad: The Helio Samsung Mysto has touch-sensitive navigation controls that are rather difficult to get used to, a flat keypad, and an ill-placed End/Power key. Its microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery cover, and sound quality was average.

The bottom line: Though we weren’t keen on the handset’s touchy controls and ...


Samsung SGH-T819 T-MobileCnet reviews the Samsung SGH-T819 T-Mobile: “The Samsung SGH-T819 for T-Mobile has a comfortable feel in the hand and a sturdy construction; we also liked the convenient thumb grip for moving the slider up and down. The main display of the Samsung SGH-T819 from T-Mobile measures two inches and supports 262,000 colors. Like most screens of its class, it’s relatively bright and offers a vibrant resolution. But on the flip side, it’s also difficult to see in direct light. You can change the backlighting time, the brightness, and the dialing font type, size, and color.

The good: The Samsung SGH-T819 for T-Mobile is an easy-to-use cell phone with a decent midrange feature set.

The bad: The phone’s call quality wasn’t the best, and its navigation array was somewhat cramped. Also, photo quality was average.

The bottom line: The Samsung SGH-T819 is a serviceable cell phone, but there are better options in T-Mobile’s lineup.”

    T-Mobile Samsung KatalystPhoneArena reviews the T-Mobile Samsung Katalyst: “The T-Mobile Samsung Katalyst may be a boring handset with so-so features but it performs great where it needs to, during usage. It has a great reception strength, strong battery life, and clear sound quality. On top of that, the Hotspot @Home service is just another perk whether or not the plan is used. So, if you want to save some money by not getting a landline but have little to no reception inside the house, definitely check out T-Mobile’s Hotspot @Home and the T-Mobile Samsung Katalyst will add onto that even when you’re traveling around.”
