New Samsung delivers on web
Posted: 28 October 2009
A new handset from Samsung may be short in some areas, but delivers a "fantastic" web experience, one expert has advised.
Ricky Cadden noted in a piece for Mobile Burn this week that the South Korean manufacturer has equipped its budget touchscreen SGH-A887 model - which is also known as the Solstice - with some impressive internet facilities.
He said the photographic and multimedia options of the handset were something of a let down, but added the compact and stylish package came with a web browser that is "one of the best we've seen on a non-smartphone ever".
Mr Cadden's words were, however, contradicted in an article posted on the Cnet website earlier this year, w ...

New Samsung goes under review

One of the latest mobile phones to boast high-end photography facilities has gone under analysis this week.
According to Edward Chester of Trusted Reviews, the Samsung Pixon 12 - which also goes by the name of the M8910 - certainly looked like "the most camera-like" device he had seen on first glance.

The 12-megapixel model is the first of its kind to be released and follows other devices in the company range that include the Samsung i8510 Innov8 - which boasts an eight ...

New Samsung 'unusual but attractive'
Posted: 21 August 2009
The Samsung M7600 Beat DJ is a handset that is both unusual in its feature set and attractive in its design, it has been advised.
According to Trusted Reviews, one of the key selling points of the device is an integrated music player that allows the user to scratch and mix tracks with its touch-enabled screen.
However, in an article for the site, Sandra Vogel pointed out this particular option has limited appeal and it is in fact the styling of the gadget that is most likely to appeal.
"The quirky physical design will win it some friends," she explained, highlighting the "nicely rounded corners" and "severe curves" of the gadget.
