Samsung SGH-i718 is one of the originators of the VibeTonez technology, a technology which lets users feel vibrations for every virtual keys touched. The technology has been introduced in Asian and European phones and is now available worldwide via the SGH-i718. The smartphone runs under a Windows Mobile 5 Operating System and is very well-known for its sleek and sophisticated design.
Samsung SGH-i718 is slim and light, with its .28 x 2.28 x 0.53 inches dimension and 3.8 ounces. Its thinness makes it a very portable device and easy to slide into a pocket. The orange plastic shell casing brings out a very youthful look. What really dominates the smartphones is its large 2.8″ screen that displays 262,000 colors. Viewing text and graphics definitely is never a problem. There are a number of things that can be adjusted according to one’s preferences and needs: brightness, backlight time and dialing fonts. Navigation could be done via the keys located below the screen. These keys are the Start Menu, the four way navigation and a middle conformation key, the send key, the cancel key and the phone lock key. The volume control and charger jack are located in the left side of the phone while the microSD card slot, mini player key, voice memo key, reset key and camera key are on the right side.
The power button is on top and the camera lens are on the back side of the phone. Being a touch screen-only smart phone, inputting of text and navigating around can only be done using a stylus or finger. The presence of the VibeTonez makes the confirmation of an appropriate number can easily be received according to a vibration after writing a virtual number. There is also handwriting recognition although a built-in QWERTY keyboard in the touchscreen is also offered.
Samsung SGH-i718 lacks 3G and WiFi, a minor disappointment. However, since it is powered by Windows Mobile 5, it features include multimedia features and office applications via the Microsoft Mobile Office Suite. This enables users to use, create, view and edit Word, Excel and Power Point presentations. SGH-i718 also includes calculator, voice recorder, clock, business card reader and other management tools. It also supports music and video files and play them via the Windows Media Player Mobile.
Messaging options in SGH-i718 include support for POP and IMAP e-mail accounts and outlook calendar. It also offer the Microsoft Direct Push Technology for real-time e-mail sending and receiving. Instant messaging isn’t automatically preloaded but users can opt to download and install them. It still supports the original SMS text messages, MMS and web browsing via a mobile version of the Internet Explorer.
Samsung has been popular for its thin and sleek phones and no mobile phone company has ever topped it yet. Continuing with this trend, Samsung came up with a smartphone that is the sleekest of its kind—the Samsung i600. This slim candy bar smartphone measures 113 x 59 x 11.8 mm and weighs only 105 g. It fits perfectly nice in the hand, allowing easy one-handed navigation.
However, for people who love big screens, they might find it disappointing that this was traded off for a more compact form. But still, the performance of its 2.3 in TFT LCD screen, with 65,536 colors and 240×320 pixels display, on web browsing is acceptable.
The matte-black Samsung i600 also sacrificed space with a somewhat cramped QWERTY keyboard, which takes a little time getting used to. But to compensate, the individual keys are stylishly organized with adequate backlighting for use in dim places.
Also, one-handed navigation is made easier with a right-sided jog dial and back key. What’s more, you can alternatively use the touch-sensitive five-way navigation pad, which includes call, home and back keys.
This sexy smartie is armed with the best connectivity options—operating on triband (900/1,800/1,900MHz) with HSDPA and 3G networks. And topping it all, this baby is also Wi-Fi enabled (802.11b/g) plus a PC wireless connection with Bluetooth 2.0 with support for A2DP. With these connectivity features, who needs an infrared port? So, I guess people would not miss it in this handheld.
Some may find it surprising that Samsung opted to use the old Windows Mobile 5.0 platform on the i600, which is powered by a 220MHz TI OMAP 1710 processor, instead of the full windows mobile platform common to almost all PDA’s. So, if you decide to own this unit, you have to settle with the preinstalled Piscel Viewer, which allows read only viewing of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files.
The i600 also supports MS Direct Push Technology, providing ready access to email calendar, contacts and tasks on Outlook. For data transfer rate, Samsung claims a 1.8Mbps speed but mobile phone testers beg to disagree, saying it would still depend on the network and location. As for memory, there’s 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM.
Now for the multimedia features, the handheld supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA and WAV formats for music and MPEG-4, WMV, H.263 AND H.264 formats for videos. It also included an RSS feed reader and podcast application, for your daily news and gossip fix.
The i600 sports two cameras, one for video calls, located on the front; and another, for photos with a low 1.3 megapixel shooter, which has no LED flash, located at the back with a mirror. So expectedly, captured images in this phone can be best described as poor.
Now, for the battery life. Samsung i600’s 1,200mAh Lithium-ion battery can last 2 days on normal phone use. However, if you’re planning to use Wi-Fi most of the day, be sure to carry your charger with you as the phone won’t last over 24 hours.
Comparison between the Samsung SGH-F490 and the iPhone is unavoidable this early. Of course, Samsung SGH-F490 wasn’t really created with the sole intention of competing with the Apple counterpart, but the subjectivity of users will continue to linger in the air of the mobile world, especially with the stark similarity of the two units. The thing that really struck users is the fact that their inspiration appears to be similar, as reflected by the SGH-F90’s touch screen.
Adorned with a glossy, reflective glass, the Samsung SGH-F490′s front surface is definitely an attention-grabber. It is free of any mechanical controls and is purely touch-sensitive, although there are still a number of buttons on the side surfaces. The 3.2-inch touch screen always works at its best and is very easy to clean. Samsung SGH-F490′s display is the biggest of all mobile phones as of the moment, supporting 262,000 colors with the viewing angle set at its best. The external case is made from plastic. It is also equipped with a 5 mega-pixel camera, with its lens located on the back, together with a mirror and lens flash. It has a dimension is 115×53.5×11.8 millimeters and a weight of 102 grams. Responsible to Samsung SGH-F490′s interface is the award-winning Croix Interface which is also the software platform used for the Armani P520 phone.
One of the greatest features of the Croix interface is the intersecting lines that form in the menu that helps the users in navigating the menu. Users of Samsung F490 may find that its business functionality may resemble from other high-end handsets from Samsung. The phone includes links that will lead users to three Google services: Gmail, Google search and Google Maps. The browser is a very helpful one, since it has the option to be viewed in landscape or portrait modes, even let it zoom in and out. The Samsung F490 offers 3G Services that supplies news headlines and other media including movie trailers and online shopping. The phone will surely help people to be full informed and entertained all the time. It also includes USB connectivity for easy transfer of files from PC to mobile phones. It also includes Bluetooth for stereo support and hands free. It doesn’t include WiFi.
It also supports video calling, with the inclusion of the secondary front mounted camera. An extra microSD card slot is also available for expansion of memory. Other features include calendar, scheduler, clock, alarm, converter, memo book, stop watch and countdown timer. Messaging functions include SMS/MMS, email support for IMAP4, POP3 and SMT and cell broadcast. Call function includes the speakerphone. It easy to dismiss that Samsung SGH-F490 is better than the iPhone in most areas, especially in the phone aspects probably because Samsung has a wider experience in mobile technology than Apple. However, despite this fact, this phone may have a hard time toppling the iPhone with the simple reason that iPhone has a cult following.
Samsung SGH-i320 does hold up to its work smart and play smart motto, being one of the most beautiful and commendable smartphones in the market to date, offering its user the best gadget for business and pleasure. This compact Windows Mobile Smartphone is loaded with features that will surely send mobile enthusiasts a run for their money.
Among the most talked feature of Samsung SGH-i320 is its slim size as it currently holds the title of being the slimmest and lightest smartphone, with a dimension of 111 x 59 x 11.5 millimeters and a weight of 95 grams. The QWERTY-designed keyboard proves to be not an obstruction to the phones compact design. Samsung SGH-i320 definitely appeals to stylish professionals.
Samsung SGH-i320 boasts its 2.2″ landscape view screen that is recommended for document viewing and web surfing. The large screen is composed of 65K color at a 320 x 20 pixel resolution.

Another important feature of the SGH-i320 is on its business functions such as the Windows Mobile 5.0. Among its applications is the Multi Document Viewer that opens MS Office and pdf files. It also includes voice mail and voice memo. The expandable microSD also comes in handy this time as it is important for saving important documents. The easy synchronization feature of the MS Outlook application helps businessman users on their organizational tasks.
In terms of connectivity, Samsung SGH-i320 is also a blast. It includes USB 1.1, Bluetooth 1.2, MMS and Infrared for easy file transfers. Internet access through WAP 2.0 and HTML is also possible. Users can also download files, games and ringtones using the Browser. Messaging with SGH-i320 seems to be seamless with its support for various e-mail clients like POP, IMAP4, SMTP and TLS, MMS and Text Messaging.
It shows that Verizon Wireless’ Samsung SCH-i760 has devoted so much to its design, with its full QWERTY keyboard and external dial pad as good indicators of innovation. However, it doesn’t show that features have been compromised, as it even became one of the most sought smartphones among business users. Samsung SCH-i760 isn’t thin as compared to Samsung BlackJack; its dimensions measure 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches, similar the size of other Pocket PC phones. It weighs 5.2 ounces and appears bulky. It just shows that this smartphone is highly recommended for business people.
Samsung SCH-i760′s 2.8 inch-touch screen provides an easy way to launch applications, input data and navigate menus. The screen displays 65, 536 colors and has a 320×240 pixel resolution. The microSD expansion slot and volume controls are found in the left side of the phone. The voice recorder launcher, OK button, camera activation key and 2.5 mm headset jack are found in the right side. The camera lens and the flash are found in the back of the handset. It features two input devices: an alphanumeric dial pad or keypad and a separate easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard. The keypad also includes a clear (C) button and a four-way navigation with select button.
The QWERTY can be slid from the right of the front cover. This sliding feature smoothly changes the screen from portrait to landscape. The keys are sufficiently-spaced but are quite slippery. Samsung SCH-i760 runs under the operating system, Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition. It includes the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite that enables users to create, view and edit Excel and Word documents. Power Point presentations can also be viewed with minor edits. Other important business applications include calendar, notepad, e-mail, clock, calculator and a task manager. Additional applications can also be installed.
Messaging is also at breeze with Samsung SCH-i760 especially with the Direct Push Technology of Miscrosoft that helps real time e-mail delivery via synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook. It also has support with Good Mobile Messaging and Verizon Wireless Sync. It sad to say however, that instant messaging aficionados will find out that Windows Live Messenger is not included in the smartphone. Among its phone features are voice dialing, speakerphone, smart dialing, three way calling and text and multimedia messaging.
Wireless options in Samsung SCH-i760 include Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless headsets, wireless file transfers, dial-up networking and hands-free kits. It also has an integrated WiFi for easier web surfing. It is also EV-DO capable for smoother media straming and downloading of games. Although its 3G capabilities don’t include music and video services, users can still play music and video files using Windows Media Player 10.
Samsung Omnia is considered among the hottest smartphones of 2008, lining up with RIM BlackBerry Bold and Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Blame the buzz on the Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, which is an innovative touch screen, allowing users to customize and drag-and-drop widgets on the screen. The real deal is that Omnia has managed to depart the Windows Mobile operating system away from its almost unusable strand. Translation: Omnia made a more productive phone, offering a multitude features to the users.
A certified eye-catcher, the Samsung Omnia features a slim elegant candy bar design with black-and-slate silver chassis, sporting a dimension of 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.4 inches. Despite this thinness, the phone has a nice solid construction and it is comfortable to hold and use. Controls are very much devoted to the 3.2-inch diagonal TFT touch screen with 262,000 color output and 240 x 400-pixel resolution. Inputting texts can done via the full QWERTY keyboard, which is cramped in portrait mode and would ate up half of the screen when opened, or the Block Recognizer and the Transcriber. The screen is equipped with a built-in accelerometer which automatically rotates the screen from portrait to landscape when the phone is turned off.
Going back to the most celebrated features, the Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface offers a great deal of personalization on the Home screen simply by dragging and dropping widgets to the main screen for easy access. After this, the user can collapse and hide the tray by tapping the arrow button. What makes this feature very important is that it proved that the Windows Mobile can be translated to usability. Although there are slight problems, such as the scroll bar is sometimes hard to use and the preloaded widgets are great limitations, although this serves a good start. The preloaded widgets are for photos, the media player, FM radio, calendar, profiles, games, several clocks, new notifications, and notepad. The only controls not bound by the touch screen are the Talk and End keys, and a four-way directional pad which acts as a virtual mouse.
The phone is adorned with a volume rocker, and a camera activation key, headphone/power connector port and the microSD slot. And as it runs under the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, it offers the same application including the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, support for Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology for real-time message delivery and access to POP3 and IMAP e-mail accounts. Productivity tools include a task list, a task manager and switcher, a smart converter, a calculator, and a PDF reader and a lot more.
Omnia doesn’t fail in Internet browsing with the Opera Mobile Web browser. It also includes Windows Live integration and a Google Launcher however, there’s no Flash support. Connectivity features include the integrated Wi-Fi or T-Mobile or AT&T’s EDGE network. Phone features are also impressive: quad-band world roaming, a speakerphone, conference calling, text and multimedia messaging.
Among the multimedia features are the Touch Player, which can support music and video of various formats, podcast support, a streaming media player, and FM radio. The 5-megapixel camera is also a good treat with its advanced settings, such as video recording and digital zoom, and editing options. It produced clear and color-rich photos, commendable enough for a camera phone.
Camera phones have been infesting the mobile market, well in a good way. These handsets have evolved through time, taking pictures that can rival some good quality point-and-shoots. One of these is the 8MP Samsung Memoir T929, unarguably the highest-performing camera phone to date, which aside from its breathtaking images can offer direct uploading to Flickr and Photobucket. Simply put, this camera is every camwhore’s dream.
Of course, the Memoir isn’t just a camera encased in a phone; it is also equipped with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, a full HTML browser, 3G, GPS and a music player among others.
Samsung Memoir T929 is an ergonomic heaven, with its shutter button and zoom controls located on top, with the camera lens and flash positioned in a way that the fingers won’t block them, and framing your photos in such a big viewfinder, AKA the touch screen, is very cool. Add up the leathered area that is meant for a better grip. More to the Memoir’s exterior, this black gizmo measures 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches, undoubtedly one of the slimmest camera phone now, and its 262,000-color 2.6-inch touch-screen display make it appear so classy and fashionable.
The screen displays vibrant colors and sharp graphics and the backlight time and brightness can also be adjusted. Personalize the display with a wallpaper and greeting message. It’s also equipped with haptic feedback that signals the users the their touch has been registered through a vibration, which is a good thing because the screen is sensitive and responsive enough. Another good news is the presence of an accelerometer that automatically re-orients the display from portrait to landscape when the phone is hold horizontally.
Samsung’s TouchWiz interface consists of widgets for applications like the clock and music player, and you can add more in the main screen, so that you can easily access your most used applications. And as a full touchscreen phone, the Samsung Memoir lacks a physical keyboard but employs a virtual QWERTY keyboard, which may cause discomfort to first time touchscreen users.
Like stated earlier, this is a phone camera that can take pictures in up to seven resolutions, from a large 3,264 x 2,448 to the smallest 320×240. It has 8x digital zoom, a self-timer, three quality settings, a mosaic-shot mode, three shutter sounds with silent option, and nine frames. It also has an impressive camcorder that can record clips in two resolutions (640×480 and 320×240) in normal mode, picture message mode, and slow-motion video mode.
Other features include vibrate mode, speakerphone, SMS/MMS, calendar, calculator, notepad, currency, unit converter and more.
The Apple iPhone made a groundbreaking scene in the mobile phone industry that manufacturers have started coming up with new models to match up the iPhone’s capabilities. One notable phone is the Samsung Instinct, which at first glance looks almost the same to its competitor, with some feature distinctions. It incorporated visual voice mail, 3G network compatibility, integrated GPS, and work e-mail support and a number of other features.
As the Instinct is identical with the iPhone, it did incorporate a very eye-catching design although originality is a point of debate. This candy-bar mobile phone measures a dimension of 4.57 x 2.17 x 0.49 inches and weighs 4.4 ounces, portable and comfortable to keep in the pocket. Its simple black and silver design made it looked sophisticated. The Instinct is dominated by its 262,000 colors and 432,240-pixel resolution, 3.250-inch touch screen, showcasing an impressive display of colors, graphics and texts. Users can adjust the brightness and the backlighting however the menu is unalterable. The menu interface features a set of icons at the bottom of the display: Favorites, Main, Fun, and Web, which are attractive and very easy to use, all of which are represented by illuminated icons.
The Main menu offers the messaging, organizer, and GPS; the Fun menu for games, multimedia options, and camera; and the Web menu for browser shortcuts. These features are easily navigable through the intuitive touch interface. Users can also adjust the display calibration and its touch sensitivity.
Of course, aside from the touch screen, the Instinct still includes other keys: a back button, a home key, and a calling control, and an alphabetic keyboard, which is easy to type with the thumbs, thanks to its landscape mode. Aside from the keyboard, users can enter via the graffiti method, with the stylus. The only problem is that unlike the iPhone, Instinct doesn’t include a slot for stylus so it is a hassle.
The camera shutter, voice activation control and microSD card slot are located on the left side of the Instinct while a power/display locking control and a 3.5mm headset jack are on the top. The left spine houses the charger port and the volume rocker rest on the left spine while the the camera lens and the self-portrait mirror are on the back side. Phone features are relatively superb in the Instinct. The phonebook can hold 600 contacts. It also included visual voice mail and text and multimedia messaging. Productivity tools include a calendar, a notepad, a calculator, a unit converter, a tip calculator, an alarm clock, a timer, a stopwatch, and a world clock.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth with a stereo profile, GPS phone as modem supports, audible caller ID, a speakerphone, mobile syncing for stored contacts, and USB storage, although it lacked Wi-FI connectivity. It doesn’t include instant messaging, which may consider as a disappointment. On the other hand, the e-mail features are at best, with its support for POP3 accounts for AOL, AIM, Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail and connecting to e-mail is easy with Outlook Web Access. It has the Instinct’s Web browser which is commendable enough, but it lacks the support for Flash and some users have aired disappointments because the texts appeared a little cramped. Instinct also offers dedicated channels for weather, sports, news, and movies.
The GPS in Instinct is a big help in acquiring traffic information especially that the touch screen has made panning through the 3D maps way easier and quicker than on the Web browser. Instinct’s support for Sprint’s 3G services allows users to connect to Sprint’s Power Vision and Sprint TV, which include channels such as CNN, E!, MTV Mobile, Discovery Mobile, ESPN, Logo Mobile, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Multimedia support in the Instinct includes the music player that can play MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA formats, and the 2.0-megapixel camera which features very limited options, but still produces usable images.
Generally speaking, the cameras of smartphones nowadays have become more of a point of interest than the phone capabilities. In this sense, Samsung Innov8′s impressive 8.0-megapixel camera won’t fail imaging addicts, offering excellent photo quality as well as editing features. On other hand, manufactures of this phone have never forgotten the fact that it is a phone after all, with a good call performance and a number of fantastic features.
The black minimalist Samsung Innov8 is compact, sporting a dimension of 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.6 inches and a weight of 4.8 ounces, offering a solid feel in the hand but remains comfortable to hold and to keep in the pocket. It also features an easy-to-use slider mechanism. It’s LCD measures 2.8 inches with 16.7 million colors, displaying graphics bright and beautiful, although there’s a problem in viewing the screen in direct light. Users can also personalize the display with color themes and wallpapers.
Samsung Innov8′s simplicity of menus is deeply indebted to its operating system, the Symbian Version 9.3. Users can choose to set the menu either in list or grid view and popular features can easily be found.
A shortcut bar, which can serve access to a user-customizable shortcuts menu can be activated on the standby screen. Pre-programmed tabs include the calendar, the music player, the FM radio, and the personalization menu. The navigation array is located below the display. It has a square four-way toggle with central OK button, surrounded by two soft keys, Talk and End/power controls and silver-colored shortcut keys for the multimedia gallery and the main menu which can easily be spotted.
An interesting feature of the Innov8 is the optical mouse, which isn’t actually a mouse used in computers but it’s actually a mechanism that allows users to navigate the phone’s menus by sliding the finger across the OK button and moving up and down and side to side through menus and lists, although some may find this feature hard to understand at first. The spacious keypad is hidden behind the slider and is equipped with a bright backlighting. There are no problems with dialing the numbers but texting is a bit awkward. The clear button is also inaccessibly located on the top row of the keypad. The volume rocker/camera zoom control, the 3.5mm headset jack, the microSD card slot, camera control, and the micro USB slot are on the left spine. The camera lens sits on the back, below the flash.
The 8.0-megapixel camera of the Samsung Innov8 also includes a video side which can record clips in two resolutions (640×480 and 320×240) with sound. The phone can be connected to the PC using USB cable, Bluetooth, or a memory card. An application called Print OTG helps in transferring images directly to a printer. The Innov8 can accommodate 18 types of phone numbers and a variety of information on its phone book. Other phone features include vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator, an alarm clock, a notepad, and a currency/unit converter. Multimedia features include music player, FM radio and video player.
Wireless connectivity features in Innov8 include HSDPA 3G support, full Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a file manager, a ZIP manager for compressing files, USB transfer and mass storage, instant messaging, and a voice recorder. It also supports POP3 e-mail access via the RoadSync application that delivers push e-mail for Microsoft Exchange for corporate e-mail contacts and calendar.
The Symbian OS accepts third party applications which include a dedicated Google portal for maps, Gmail, and search, and Yahoo Go for maps and driving directions, as wells as Real Player app, QuickOffice, Fring, GyPSii, DLNA , Adobe Reader, CNN Mobile, Samsung Mobile Navigator, and 3D games.
Fashion phones continue to invade the gizmo world with the Samsung Emporio Armani Night Effect M7500, although unlike the earlier Samsung Emporio Armani handset that sports an 8MP camera, this thing doesn’t have such fancy and its tag price doesn’t sound as luxurious as the brand, which may send budget-conscious fashion victims into frenzy, but the bad news is the cut in price has some sacrifices.
The good things first. The quad-band GSM Samsung M7500 has a lot to offer with music, and it features HSDPA to 3.6Mbps, a 3-megapixel camera with side-button (notice the big cut in pixels), front camera for two-way video-calling and FM radio. It measures 114.9mm x 47.4mm x 12mm, tall yet easy to hold, and its rubbery backplate assists with grip. The corners of the screens sports shininess contrasted with the number pad’s brushed metal look.
The number pad is responsive and has nicely spaced keys, and the navigation buttons is raised from its surround and relatively big. The screen, although small at 2.2 inches, is delight to look at as it implores a clear, sharp and bright AMOLED.
We therefore conclude that the Samsung M7500 is a well-designed phone, but the brand name shouts so loud at the back of the handset, broadcasting to the whole world that the user has an Armani phone. Brand conscious people may fall in love with this detail but others may find this thing a distraction to the design’s entirety. And the branding doesn’t stop, as the phone has blue, green, red and black themes that actually refer to the side lighting for the three buttons on the right side, and another Emporio Armani brand on the left side. The good news is, you have the option to turn off the lights.
While there are five shortcut menus, there are nothing default for contacts, which is a disappointment. Thankfully these shortcuts can be changed, but what a big mistake for Samsung not to allocate one for the most used menu. The menu system has a carousel interface that forces users to cycle through each menu item using the navigation button, which will take some time for a user to get where he wanted to go.
Let’s go back to music, which is the high point of this Armani phone. It has good audio quality and control of music is easy because of the playback buttons on the right side. A 120MB internal memory is supplied, which is expandable to 1GB via microSD (another pity for the small storage space) slot under the battery cover.
The camera lacks flash and takes below average photos despite the presence of auto focus. The only good thing is the built-in ShoZu client which allows us to instantly upload the images to the web, but what’s something to boast about if pictures fared not good enough in image quality.
Like most phones nowadays, the Samsung Armani features good call quality and battery life (420 minutes of talk time and 345 hours of standby). Other features of this fashion phone are web browser, calendar, memo maker, tasks manager, world clock, calculator, unit converter, basic image editor, voice recorder, timer, stopwatch, RSS reader and five alarms.
