The Samsung SGH-T659 has old looks but the features, though few, are pretty up to date. This is a basic phone, it is not made for your gizmo gadget freak but it serves well for the functions it is offering. The display of the Samsung SGH-T659 is 2.5 inch big and will give you a resolution of 320x240 pixels. The screen has 262,000 colors, the icons and the text is good and clear. In the display you can change brightness, font size, color, type and backlighting time. A lower backlight gives you larger battery life. The phone is slider material and it is quite sturdy and strong. It was also comfortable to hold in the hand. You can also change the alert tones, wallpapers and colors of background. Below the display there is a structure of buttons which will again remind you of the old days. There are two soft buttons, the call and call end buttons and the middle OK button that is surrounded by the four way navigation circle. The keypad will  [...]

We know Samsung is capable of making good phones, it has been there in the phone market for quite a while and we are now relying on it to make good phones for us. So let’s see if this phone can live up to the expectations or not. The display of the Samsung Solstice is three inch big which is what most phones in this class deliver. The screen will give you support for 262,000 colors and resolution of 400X240 pixels. Display is crisp and you can see the icons on the screen quite clearly. Samsung Solstice screen is responsive while you are selecting icons or scrolling through the lists. The screen gives haptic feedback, which means the device will vibrate when you touch icons to show that it has registered a touch. You can increase or decrease the intensity of this vibration. Other than this you can change the display’s wallpaper, brightness, backlight time, greeting message  [...]

The phone is made for basic functions and will do nothing else. It disappoints even in basic functions like camera and display. The display of the camera is a small two inch and the resolution is awfully low at just 160x120. But this phone is a basic device and you cannot use this phone for web browsing so there is not much to complain. However, a little bigger resolution would have been better. In the display, you can change brightness, backlighting time, dialing font size, screensavers, greetings and design schemes. Below the display are two soft buttons, talk, end buttons, back and dedicated speaker phone button. We liked the buttons of talk and end had words on them rather than the receiver symbol which commonly used. The buttons are also colored green and red. Along with these buttons there is a four way navigational button with an OK button in the center. The phone slides upwards to reveal a 12 key numeric keypad. Buttons both  [...]

Samsung is back with Mythic SGH-A897 and it is a good and attractive looking phone, but we must say that it looks quite a lot like the other Samsung phones. The display of the phone is 3.3 inch big and supports 262,000 colors. It gives you resolution of 360X640 pixels which is excellent for this size of display. The display looks sharp and the videos on this phone also look good. The phone has three home screens, just like iPhone, where you can store the shortcuts to your most used applications. You can scroll the pages one after the other, all you have to do is flip your finger through the touch screen. These short cut menus let you store the applications on the desktop so that you don’t have to go digging inside to find the applications. You cannot delete some application icons like browser or the music player. But you can remove applications like calendar and alarm and add buttons of your own. The touch screen of the phone is responsive  [...]

Samsung Behold II is successor to Samsung Behold and we don’t what is in the phone to behold. The phone is definitely not attractive looking. Maybe Samsung thought that the internal features might make us hold our breath. The Samsung phone has AMOLED touch screen which is pretty amazing than standard TFT LCD screens. The main advantage that you get from the AMOLED screen is that image is much clearer. When the two screens are held in sunlight, AMOLED will give you a brighter picture where as TFT LCD will be overwhelmed by the shinny sunlight and you won’t be able to see the objects on the screen properly. If you see a TFT LCD screen from the side, the picture will not be as clear as seen from the front. AMOLED screen is clear from all the sides, including the view from the top. Other advantages include darker blacks, brighter image, etc. Below the screen is a cluster of buttons and it  [...]
