The contacts that the Samsung F210 can hold are up to 1000 people; this is a great amount that will keep even the most social of people with more than enough numbers to program. The phone has 1 GB of memory that can be expanded by purchasing a new card.

Unfortunately this mobile phone review shows that this phone doesn’t have many colours to choose from just black and blue. The camera is the market standard 2 mega pixel, which isn’t great, but still will have you getting good pictures. This phone was rated in the 8’s for several mobile phone reviews that were done, which shows this phone is above average when trying to find a new mobile phone.

Just like any other mobile phone review we’ve gone over the basics of the phone and what most people tend to look for. This Samsung F210 review shows a phone that has a lot of advantages in a very small package. So if you are looking for a small mobile phone and are not worried that you may lose it, this phone should be among your top picks.

To find great mobile phone deals you should go to a mobile phone company and see if they have a great mobile phone deal on the Samsung E210 if you sign up for a contract for either a year or two years. You should also check out different dealers that will be online and see if they have some great mobile phone deals that you may be able to get cheap.

You should compare both the online prices with the prices you find in those mobile phone companies and see which is most advantageous to you. If you feel that the price or mobile phone deal you are getting online is much better you should get the Samsung F210 that way. However make sure that the mobile phone company isn’t offering you some extra’s that may make the difference between a good deal and a great deal. Sometimes these mobile phone companies will offer you a charger and mobile phone holder with your contract. This will be stuff you will normally need to purchase so see if you can get those extras for free.

The Samsung F210 review has shown a very good phone, it may not have the greatest camera around, but it is still a good phone that looks nice and is pretty sleek. Plus the mobile phone is very light so if you talk for a long time you won’t mind holding this mobile phone for a long time. So check out other mobile phone reviews and see if the Samsung F210 is really the phone you think may be right for you!

Samsung mobile deals are now one of the most sought after in mobile telephony. The best and latest features are provided in the phone along with great style and superior looks.

Phone Hardware

1. Samsung has clearly taken the pole position in the phone-camera category. In a short span of months, Samsung has pushed out her second 8 megapixals (MP) camera – Samsung M8800 PIXON after i8510 INNOV8. Clearly, no other phones except LG perhaps can come close to Samsung in this area. PIXON is the slimmest phone with a 8 megapixals resolution, a record previously held by LG RENOIR KC910 (a successor to LG KC990 VIEWTY). 

2. PIXON is a 3.2 inch touchscreen phone but it’s not the first touchscreen phone launched by Samsung. However unlike OMNIA, M8800 PIXON is not a windows mobile phone. It is also not using Symbian OS which is the OS for INNOV8. Instead, it uses Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz interface (I’ll touch more about the phone OS and applications in the later section)

3. Let’s talk about the camera feature first since this is the key USP for PIXON. The new PIXON is equipped with the core functions that you will find on any Samsung’s low end point and shoot range camera. PIXON’s camera features include auto-focus, 16x digital zoom (which, to me, is pretty useless if you want a high quality shoot. Optical zoom will be much more important), fast-shutter and face detection. And of course, being a phone, it provides the geo-tagging function and easy uploading via the mobile internet. 

4. It’s natural that that we compare PIXON to LG RENOIR since both have 8MP camera. While I have not tested LG RENOIR, I learnt from third party sources that RENOIR uses Schneider-Kreuznach lens and Xenon flash. PIXON on the other hand uses plastic lens and dual LED flash. In addition, RENOIR has active autofocus whereas PIXON uses passive autofocus. But the report also commented that camera speed-wise, PIXON has an edge over RENOIR and PIXON has a more friendly user-interface. (http://technorati.com/posts/OpbBYGK7SrgKE3pAz_SSxWJrJcNHyvOX4y9G993i3j0%3D). 

5. Putting aside the camera feature, I tend to compare this to Nokia XpressMusic 5800 as well. Both are very lightweight (PIXON 121g and Nokia 109g). Both have long battery life with Nokia winning by a slight margin (Samsung has talktime of upto 3 hours and 40 minutes and standby of 290 hours; Nokia has talktime of up to 4 hours and standby of upto 300hours). However, unlike Nokia, Samsung has only 256k colors. Nokia 5800 by contrast, supports 16m colors. 

6. Some other similar features are the accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and full virtual Qwerty keyboard and built-in GPS. PIXON uses Google Maps whereas Nokia has its own Nokia MAPS (which requires a subscription). However, Google maps is free and to me Google maps serves my purpose as I don’t need a turn by turn voice navigation.

7. Samsung PIXON also uses a resistive screen and as mentioned in my earlier post on Nokia XpressMusic 5800, I am not very used to the “touch” on resistive screen. It requires you to exert pressure on the screen to scroll down. It requires more deliberate efforts to scroll than the multi-touch capacitive screen on iPhone. 

8. PIXON uses proprietary headset jack. But all is not lost. You are able to connect a 3.5mm normal earphone to the connector provided by Samsung. The only thing is you can’t afford to lose this connector. In addition, the phone also has the ability to do TV out. You have to purchase the accessories separately. 

9. PIXON has an internal storage of 200M (much larger than Nokia 5800’s) and similar to most phones today it has an expandable memory slot using microSD card.  

10. In terms of its speakers’ quality, Samsung included its own SRS (surround sound system). By comparison, I feel that Nokia 5800 is a cut above Samsung when I play the same song using the speakers. The music player also boosts some presets (in total 8 of them). However, unlike Nokia’s XpressMusic, you can’t change the presets to customise your own. (More about this in the later section)

11. While PIXON has a 3.2 inch screen, its browser is not friendly. You can’t open several tabs at one go. And because it has resistive screen, it is not using to navigate with fingers as you need to press against the screen as you move around on a web page. But what I like about the phone is that you can zoom in and out by using the volume up/down button or to use the virtual buttons on the screen. Both are easy to control. I don’t’ encourage you to buy the phone if you intend to browse a lot. Besides the less-friendly browser and browsing capability, PIXON does NOT support WiFi. WiFi is important for me because I tend to put my phone on WiFi when I’m at home or in the office so that I don’t have to pay for cellular data charges. PIXON is not the right phone for web-browsing. iPhone or G1 are clearly far better choices. 

12. Last but not least, PIXON has several physical buttons to provide one-click access. It has 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen. The left and right buttons are self-explanatory (making and ending calls / power switch). The middle button is NOT a home or menu button. Rather it is a “Back” button. I had thought it would be easier to have a Menu button but Samsung has designed the Menu button as a virtual button (read on to find out). On one side of the phones are the camera button and the volume buttons (which can act as zoom in/out and and scroll up /down depending on the application that you are running). On the other side of the phone are the hold button and a menu button that provides a virtual menu for quick access to “call”, “music player”, “messages”, “browser”, “main menu” and back. 

Phone OS and Applications

1. As mentioned earlier, the phone uses TouchWiz OS. It has several widgets on the home screen that you can pull out from the side of the screen to the main screen. Some neat widgets include Google Search, Weather Channel, Favourite Contacts, Photo Album, Music Player and others that are already pre-installed on the phone and many more that can be downloaded from Samsung FunClub website. 

2. Pixon’s organizer application comes with some handy tools such as Calendar, Memo, Task, World Clock, Calculator and Converter. 

3. For the music player, the interface is very friendly and easy to use. You can set any piece as voice or video call ringtone or caller ringtone. You have the option to decide whether to allow background music playing. It has an additional feature similar to the Shazam. PIXON has this application called the “Music Recognition”. It will try to identify the song that you are playing. I have not tried out too many songs (in fact, only a few), hence it’s not fair for me to comment on the accuracy. So far it recognizes most of the songs I bought from iTunes. Between the two phones, I’ll recommend Nokia XpressMusic 5800 over Samsung PIXON for music not just because Nokia 5800 has better music player features and speakers but also because Nokia is targeting squarely at the iTunes market with the music store via its Come with Music service.

4. Nowadays most phones have both music and video players. Given the 3.2 inch screen size, it’s comfortable to play a video or movie on it. What’s neat about the video player is that you can choose to upload to web or to send via email/MMS or Bluetooth (same for music) and even add tags to it (only for videos). You can view the video in either portrait or landscape mode. 

5. In addition, PIXON has this Video Editor application that allows you to insert one video track and two audio tracks. You can choose 176×144 or 320×240 for the resolution settings. You can choose from 5 different effects (Emboss, Black&White, Sepia, Solarise, Sharpen) to apply on the video. Interesting tool for you to make your own little impromptu video.   

6. Just to also mention that the phone has a voice recorder application but it can only record up to a maximum of 60 minutes. I thought if Samsung really wanted this to be a “fun phone” for photo-taking and video editing, it should perhaps include some effects to make some tweaks to the voice. What you can do for video editing is only to trim the length.

7. Don’t bang on this phone too much for games. PIXON has some pre-installed games (mostly for trial only). It doesn’t have the depth and breadth of an iPhone appstore.   

9. The phone can be used easily for mass storage. It has a Documents Viewer application that allows you to open Microsoft Office (only 2003 and not 2007) documents. This is a pleasant surprise to me. I have tested it out on a few powerpoint files (since I tend to deal a lot with powerpoint files). You can view in portrait or landscape mode. And more surprisingly it has a Search Function. This means I can go to certain particular slide easily if I can remember the keywords in that slide. The viewer has a zoom function too.  

10. Okay, I just want to say that this phone is not cut out to support heavy duty email. Of course, PIXON is never provided for that. It can support POP3 or IMAP. I have tried setting up using IMAP. I realised that it seems slow in processing my emails. There is also a limit on the size of the file that you can download. Only up to 5Mb. Most powerpoint file that I receive tends to be bigger than 5Mb. So this is practically of no use to me. If you just want simple text reading, this phone serves the purpose. If you read my earlier post on Nokia 5800, I mentioned that Nokia 5800 supports Mail For Exchange which allows synchronisation of Inbox, Calendar and Tasks. For PIXON, only basic email function is supported. 

11. What I find strange is that Samsung includes ShoZu for MobileBlog (which also allows you to upload your photo to ShoZu). I thought it would be more useful to include a Flickr or Facebook application since this is primary a camera phone. But then again, Samsung may want to encourage people to do micro-blogging and hence ShoZu application will fit the bill. 

12. PIXON has a Photo Album application that uses its built-in accelerometer sensor. Not only does it auto-rotate the screen when you change the orientation of the phone, it also allows you to advance back and forth easily by tilting the phone. Cool way to view hundreds of photos quickly. 

13. There is another neat thing I like about this phone. At times, we may send a sms to the wrong party. This phone has this “precautionary” feature built in by requiring you to click the “Done” virtual button so that you can preview your entire message again before sending out. In addition, when you type your message, the textbox is enlarged so that you can view your draft message easily. You can choose to use the normal phone keypad or handwritten (using the stylus) mode or the virtual Qwerty keyboard.  However, I somehow feel that it is a little slower than most phones in sending out the messages. Not sure if it’s because it has the dialog box that shows “Sending” and hence the perception that it’s taking a bit longer. 

14. Lastly, I just want to say that this phone supports RSS. This means you can import your favourite feeds into the phone easily. That’s something I must have for all phones. Feeds are my daily needs. 

So in summary, I would say that if you are looking for a phone that can double up as a proper camera and have decent music and video players. This is the phone to go for. It has long battery life. This is important for taking photos and playing videos. Plus with the light weight, I really won’t mind carrying one more gadget with me.  

Communication has always been the foremost priority of the mobile phone users. But at times to drive away their boredom, the users can turn to the entertainment options of the device. The Samsung mobile phones are designed in such a manner that they appropriately come to feed all the needs of the users.

The Samsung has now become one of the leading mobile phone manufacturers in the world. People do like their handsets due to their stylish designs and innovative features. Their handsets have become the symbol of quality and innovativeness and are giving stiff competition to their contenders.

The cutting edge technologies in the Samsung mobile phones like the LDC displays, high resolution mega pixel cameras etc are their unique selling points. Whether it is a clamshell or a slider camera mobile phone these gadgets always attract the avid mobile phone lovers. This iconic brand of handsets has succeeded in maintaining the consistency of launching feature packed mobile phones. They have always succeeded to fulfill the mammoth desires of the people.

The latest Samsung U and Samsung G series of handsets are very alluring and fashionable gadgets. These gadgets come with all the latest enticing features. The handsets from both the series come up with high resolution cameras, in built music players and the internet connectivity features. The mobile phones are now popularly regarded as mini computers as many of them come equipped with the web browser option and the Document viewer features. The unique document viewer features enable the users to manage their important files in formats like MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint etc.

The latest handsets from the G and U series include Samsung G800, Samsung G600, and Samsung U700 etc. These mobile phones come up with abundant storage capacities to facilitate all the official works of a user. However the users have the flexibility to select their own feature packed handset that would appropriately suit their entire requirement. As such the consumer should first enquire about the features before purchasing any handset.

One of the biggest mobile manufacturer, Samsung, has come up with various handsets. The Samsung F700 features unrivaled design and brings a superior range of multimedia experience to consumers. The Ultra Smart is a part of Samsung’s Ultra portfolio, which boasts of a full touch screen as well as a QWERTY key pad. This reflects the recent trend in telecommunications industry of touch screen. Volume, play lists, brightness of screens as well as other menu controls can be accessed utilizing the touch screen.

As speed is becoming crucial for data communications, Samsung has included the latest trends to the Ultra Smart F700. It reflects the latest speed of 7.2 Mbps under the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network. A full HTML browser along with the QWERTY key pad enables easy access to the Internet for e-mail and data services. Once the 7.2 Mbps HSDPA network is completely deployed, the Samsung F700 users can download an MP3 song (about 4MB each) in 4.4 seconds. Business and creative professionals are able to view content on a stunning 2.78″ color display. The device features unbeatable entertainment with a top-of-the-line 5 mega-pixel camera with auto focus and Bluetooth. With 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, it is easy to watch videos, listen to songs, share high-quality photos, or catch up on email on the move.

At the same time Samsung is also boasting about its “G800” model, which offers a 5-megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom. It also features panorama shots, multi shots and macro shots. The features also include 2.4-inch QVGA LCD, a little less wider as compared to the F700 wide display. With 256K colors, 240 x 320 pixels, the Samsung G800 promise more clarity than its own F700. There is a new viewfinder interface Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is claimed to be intuitive and simple to use. This is uniquely found in this model of Samsung. It also comes with an On Screen Display (OSD) that shows various camera indicators in a horizontal preview mode. This feature allows you to view 3D effectively. Also it has 160MB internal memory with microSD, GPRS, 3G, Bluetooth, and USB; not to forget the FM radio helping you in staying tuned. When it comes to music it has an edge over the F700 as it supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/e-AAC+/WMA playback files.

Samsung’s G800 will satisfy the needs in the camera category with a true digital camera-like design and functionality. This will enable users to capture and share the precious moments of their daily lives through the enhanced camera functions in a fast 3G network. It also allows you to do video editing, so that one can cut and paste their favorite videos at ease.

Today, mobile TV has become a reality and is moving towards mass market. In order for Samsung G800 to reach its full potential, cost-effective means of increasing capacity and introducing innovative new services are necessary. The handset combines the services of a mobile phone with television content and represents a logical step both for consumers and operators and content providers. In this way it is ready to become Samsung’s all-round multimedia player.

Well, all these features are just the beginning of an era of information technology; still we got to go a long way with more efficient and effective features in the pipeline.

The Samsung OMNIA is available in either an 8 or 16GB memory with an expandable slot that allows you to increase the memory. It also includes GPS navigation and geo-tagging that assures you don’t get lost no matter where you are. The Samsung OMNIA is the first Samsung Windows Media Smartphone to include the TouchWiz interface. With TouchWiz you have the ability to personalize your home window with various widgets.

Unlike other competitor’s models, the Samsung OMNIA has an on screen QWERTY keyboard that makes it convenient and easy to place calls and send text messages. The Samsung OMNIA measures only 12.5 mm with a platinum look finish. The look of elegance that envelopes this Smartphone will give it appeal to those in the international marketplace. The Samsung name alone will sell this Smartphone to those who are familiar with the other Samsung phones.

The features of the OMNIA Smartphone are enough to draw in even the most discriminating buyer. The on-screen QWERTY keyboard means there is less need for a wider phone or an additional keyboard as is common with other Smartphones. The fact that this model has a camera with auto-focus is also an advantage since many camera phones lack that very important feature or hide it behind the phones casing making it more difficult to use.

This new addition to the line of Samsung Smartphones is destined for greatness. If you can read a Samsung OMNIA review, you will discover that there are many who love this phone not just because it’s a Samsung but also because it has so many different features that make it an excellent choice for home and office. With so many high tech features built into the Samsung OMNIA you can be sure it is worth every penny you spend to own this phone. On the other hand waiting for mobile phone deals will help you offset some of the cost of owning the Samsung OMNIA.

If you are one of the many people who have owned a Samsung phone in the past, you will surely love the Samsung OMNIA with all of its Smartphone features. Whether you’re looking for a music phone, camera phone or just a phone with which to communicate with people you know, you will find the OMNIA a welcome addition. Stay up to date with mobile phone technology by choosing the latest in Samsung Smartphones at the same time. If you don’t love this phone, you’ll never love another Samsung phone again.

Ultra thin

Keeping with the dictum the company introduced the Samsung Mobile phoneU700. They launched it with the slogan Style that you can measure. The U700 is an ultra thin phone. It is also called the Samsung ultra 12.1. This refers to the thickness of the phone in millimeters. It is one in the series of the Ultra Edition II Series. It is a very glossy and slim 3G slider with HSDPA support. The U700 model is the slimmest slider ever to support high-speed data transfers over HSDPA. The phone has been introduced in variant colors. Each color adds to the smooth glossy finish of the phone. It is an eye catcher.

The slide opening mechanism is quite slick and a pleasure to use. It is very comfortable to handle and solid to handle. A slight push and the mobile opens. The spring action gives it a smooth slide and does not have a creaky sound.

Display and keypad

The Samsung U700 mobile phone has a 2.2″ 240×320 pixel display is stunning to say the least. It is a 262K color TFT display with a QVGA. The front plate is made of shiny mirror-like material. The large 2.2 Inch screen can be viewed when the handset is in its closed or opened position. All the information and the menu can be viewed even when the screen is closed. The screen encloses the elegantly encloses the navigation key. The navigational keys are marked by pictogram and it appears illuminated in white as soon as the keypad is unlocked. Here something that is fascinating is the fact that the keys respond only to the touch of the finger. It does not react to the touch of a rubber. The keys get automatically locked through a call thus to prevent the user from accidentally hanging up by simple touch of the cheek on the phone panel.

Camera

One of the most interesting features of this Samsung mobile phone is the 3 mega pixel digital camera that is inbuilt in it. It also comes with a range of photo management functions.

Samsung was one of the first to offer both flip phones and camera phones, and though few preceded them, many have followed. With many manufacturers going the way of 3G technology and even eliminating some basic models, Samsung has stayed with what the users want. You will find a great selection of phones by Samsung with the Samsung G600 being one of the later models of camera phones. With a 5 megapixel camera phone that is close to the quality of a compact digital camera, this phone promises to be very profitable for Samsung. The camera also has a built in flash next to the lens of the camera, but the drawback is you must open the phone in order to use the camera.

In addition to the 5 megapixel camera, the Samsung G600 also includes an MP3 player and tons of downloadable games. For those on the go who need a camera and some music to take along, the Samsung G600 is just the phone for you. Though it’s not top of the line it also isn’t the cheapest phone, either.

If you’re on a budget or in the process of buying your first mobile phone, the Samsung G600 is an excellent choice. Not only will you have a quality camera phone but a music phone and a phone that allows you to email as well. Of course, accessing email is not going to be as easy as it is with a smartphone since the Samsung G600 has just the standard keypad, but it is certainly a step in the right direction in the area of quality at a reasonable price. You’re looking at a manufacturer that has been in the business for many years and continues to produce mobile phones of very high quality.
