Samsung SPH-m620

Front Closed

Deciding which side is the "front" with the Upstage is no easy task, for the purposes of this review we will refer to the side with the keypad as the front. On this side of the Upstage you will see the lens for the 1.3 megapixel camera at the top left, with the slot for the phone speaker next to it. Below the speaker is a small 1.3" 176 x 65 pixel display to navigate through the interface. Below the screen is a Sprint logo. All of these items take up the top fourth of the front. Below these items are the control keys and keypad. The control keys are dominated by a large squarish directional pad, with 2 soft keys, a dedicated camera key, back button and send/end keys surrounding it. The keypad is a standard 12 key arrangement. At the very bottom of the front you will see the pin hole for the phone microphone.

The Samsung SPH-m620 weighs 3.25 ounces and measures 3.98 x 2.05 x 0.49 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.50 hours of digital talk time. It runs on the CDMA 850/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Samsung M620 Product Description

A phone you can dance to; the Samsung UpStage™ is so unique, you have to see it (and hear it) to believe it. On one side, it's a slim, stylish Samsung phone with Stereo Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and a 1.3 megapixel camera. On the other side, it's a slim, stylish Samsung music player with touch-sensitive media controls and a stereo speaker. Either way, it's a phone you'll flip over.

The Samsung SPH-m620, affectionately dubbed the "UpStage," is so unique, you have to see it (and hear it) to believe it. On one side, it's a slim, stylish Samsung phone with stereo Bluetooth wireless technology, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. On the other side, it's a slim, stylish Samsung music player with touch-sensitive media controls and a stereo speaker. Other great features include a memory card slot, advanced voice control with dictation capabilities, EV-DO high-speed data, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. With the ability to store up to 2000 songs, the m620 is the perfect choice for tech-connected power users and music lovers who need the speed of the Power Vision Network to access information while on the go.

Samsung M620 Design

The extremely unique m620 features a candy bar form factor with two faces. One side offers the typical look and feel of a modern looking MP3 player, and includes advanced music and media control keys, as well as a large 2.1-inch full color 176 x 220 display--perfect for watching optional Sprint TV media. The "phone side" sports a massive secondary screen that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 1.3-megapixel camera lens is housed directly above this display. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side, while most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad, also located on the "phone side". The phone includes 53 MB of internal memory--plenty of memory for running the music player and other advanced applications--and micro SD cards can supplement the phone's memory with its built-in memory card slot. And because the m620 has an internal antenna, there's nothing to snag or break off. Charging and USB data cable connectivity are available on the phone's bottom edge. Samsung was even nice enough to throw in support for PictBridge direct-to-printer printing (via USB).

Samsung M620 Calling Features

The m620's internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts, and the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures and ringtones to your most common callers. The phone ships with built-in polyphonic ringtones, but for those times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and advanced voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates easy. Simply say the name or number of the person you want to call and the number is dialed automatically without using the keypad. No prior voice training is needed. Lastly, because the m620 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Samsung M620 Messaging, Internet, and Tools

The m620 is a messaging powerhouse, and comes with support for Sprint's PCS picture and video mail services. You can shoot high quality pictures and video clips with sound and instantly send them to email addresses and other Sprint PCS phones that are compatible with picture and video mail services. Or, upload them to the Sprint PCS pictures Web site to create albums. You can also use the m620 to send and receive email, exchange text messages, or join a chat room. T9, a predictive text entry system, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The real power of the m620 comes alive with Sprint's PCS Power Vision services. Relying on Sprint's new EV-DO high speed data network, Power Vision allows you to enjoy full-color video clips or live TV of the latest news, sports, and entertainment from CNN, Fox, The Weather Channel, and more (Sprint Power Vision charges apply).

You can also stream or download music to your phone with Sprint's Music Store service. Download digital tracks instantly to your phone. Choose from hundreds of thousands of full-length songs from virtually every genre. Select songs directly from the phone and listen to them wherever you go. Even download them to your PC.

With a USB connection, the m620 can also be used as a mass storage device. And last but not least, personalized news and information tickers, and downloadable screen savers and ringtones are also available through the Sprint Power Vision service.

The m620 is packed with useful tools to make your life more productive and fun. A message dictation system lets you speak your SMS text messages into the phone, while a voice memo recorder lets you record spoken voice notes. The phone also includes an alarm clock that can be set one time or daily, a calendar with a to-do list and a scheduler, a calculator, a stopwatch, and a world clock.

Samsung M620 Imaging and Entertainment

As mentioned, the m620 features a powerful 1.3-megapixel camera that can be used to capture and send video and still images. The m620's built-in media player lets you see and hear streaming and stored media. The m620 supports MP3, AAC, and AAC+ audio files. And where will you put all those pictures, videos, and songs? Straight onto the phone's 50 MB of mass storage, or on memory cards. The phone takes gaming to the next level, too, with support for advanced Java-based games.

The m620 is also Sprint Music Store Enabled. That means you can easily download stereo-quality tracks instantly to the phone. Choose songs from thousands of artists in virtually every genre, and listen wherever you go (additional Sprint charges apply). The m620 sports an airplane mode feature, as well, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of the phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Battery Out
Due to its unique design the Upstage does not have a removable battery. It does however ship with an battery wallet which combines an extended battery for the phone with a case.

There is no information available about the capacity of either the built in or extended battery.

Nokia 6650

The wonderful Nokia 6650 facilitates awesome functionality to the users. The phone is equipped with the amazing GPS feature with which the users can easily have assistance while they are traveling to various places. The phone comes with the 2.2 inches wide screen that offers mesmerising display with more then 16 million colours and high resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The handset features high performance lithium ion battery that gives amazing backup. The phone comes with 2 mega pixel camera and built in flash light. It has an efficient music player that supports MP3, AAC, eAAC and MPEG4 music file formats. The handset also facilitates voice dial. It comes with 30 megabytes of internal memory and microSD TransFlash memory card slot. The handset features Bluetooth wireless connection and USB port. It also facilitates internet browsing with the help of WAP 2.0 browser. It supports emails, multimedia messages and polyphonic ringtones.Nokia introduces the new 6650 mobile phone for T-Mobile at the CeBit. The 6650 is a stylish clamshell phone. It features a 2.2-inch LCD display, a 2 Megapixel camera, integrated media player, Bluetooth, FM Tuner and support for GPS navigation. It supports also microSD memory cards.

T-Mobile service My Faves keeps you in touch with the people that matter the most while benefiting from the device’s extensive talk time. Mobile Jukebox users will appreciate the dedicated keys for the music player. Furthermore, the Nokia 6650 has built-in AGPS (assisted GPS) to enable quick positioning with NaviGate route management.

The 6650 is a fairly budget-priced handset that actually looks half-decent on the outside. When I say budget-priced, I mean in the general vicinity of 1 euro, which Nokia says will be the going rate for these babies in Germany and similarly priced in other areas in Europe. So what’s the catch?

The catch is that the phone will be exclusive to T-mobile, and you’ll need to sign up for a new contract to get one. It also doesn’t seem like this phone will be hitting American shores any time soon.

Now let’s talk about what you get for that 1 euro. Nokia’s 6650 features a stainless-steel casing - definitely a plus compared to the very plasticky 6263, the last exclusive T-mobile phone here in the States. And a 2.2″ QVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera with flash, microSD expandable memory, FM radio, dedicated music keys. Not bad for an el cheapo phone, right?
Now throw in an integrated GPS and HSDPA, and the Nokia 6650 manages to look like one hell of a decent phone. At a really, really, decent price.

Like the rest of Nokia’s phones previously announced, the 6650 will start shipping in the third quarter of 2008.

Samsung beat 450

Samsung beat 450, samsung mp3 phone - SGH i450

Sporting a rare dual-slide design, the samsung 450 is one of the most interesting cool smartphone offerings recently announced !

Samsung beat 450 Key features

• Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 v3.1 UI
• Dual slide design with unique Touch wheel key
• 2.4″ 256K color TFT LCD display with QVGA resolution
• 3G with HSDPA
• 3.5mm standard stereo audio jack
• microSD memory card slot for high-capacity cards
• FM radio with RDS
• Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP

Samsung beat 450 Main Disadvantages

• No WLAN
• Average display quality
• Mediocre camera
• No camera lens cover
• 3.5mm jack cannot be used to plugin a hands-free set

A music-oriented smartphone with great speakers is not the most frequent sight around, so it’s no wonder the few of those get quite a lot of attention. As we see it, with Samsung i450 it is quite COOL.

Thinking about its rivals, the first name that comes to mind is Nokia N81. Boasting nice sound quality, similar design and dimensions plus the same OS, the N-series phone will surely put up a fight with this samsung mp3 phone.

The samsung beat 450 pulls off a neat visual trick, and packs a surprising punch for music fans.
The Samsung SGH-i450 is of a rare breed called dual sliders, meaning it opens in more than one direction. In fact, the i450 slides up to reveal a 12-key number pad, and slides down to reveal a, um, what the heck is that? It looks like a wheel, but it doesn’t spin. In fact, Samsung has used touch sensors to make a pad that acts like half a wheel (maybe a bit less than half). To complete the visual metaphor, the user interface uses a circle for feedback that seems to complete the wheel onto the screen of the phone. So, you slide your finger clockwise to increase the volume, and the circle on the screen grows in the same direction. It’s a neat visual trick, and makes the phone cool to use, at first.

Besides the scroll half-wheel, the phone also hides a speaker behind the slide. With audio from Bang & Olufsen’s ICE power technology, the speaker provides surprising clarity to the music.
The phone has a few other impressive features, as well. First of all, it runs Symbian S60, which means that plenty of 3rd party apps will be available. Second, it has a 2-megapixel around back, and a VGA camera up front for video conferencing, which should be no sweat, considering the phone also uses high-speed, 3.6Mbps HSDPA for network access. You can also listen to an FM radio with your own headphones, since the i450 uses a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Internal memory tops out at 35MB, which isn’t much, but the phone will accept microSDHC cards in capacities up to 4GB. The phone connects to headphones and PCs using Bluetooth and USB of the 2.0 variety, including A2DP for stereo Bluetooth headsets.

Symbian may be a pretty OS, but it isn’t very fast, especially when the phone lacks a heaping stack of RAM. Fast connectivity means that essential functions, like Web browsing and sideloading, should work smoothly, but when apps pile up, there could be some lag.
Samsung beat 450 is the best phone with a speaker that is also affordable (priced at around rs.12000+). And, the user interface is great.

If you want an all-around multimedia slider, the Samsung beat 450 is the way to go

Features:

1. Sliders:

Sliding the front reveals a navy blue keypad with evenly spaced and responsive keys. The keys are placed on a flat surface with arty ridges dividing them. Nice! The speakers are visible when you slide the phone down. A cool touch-sensitive navigation pad amidst the speakers means you can use it while surfing your music folder. It works fine, even if responsiveness is low

2.touch control:

The touch control feature in Samsung Beat 450 makes it stand out from others.The touch control for the music player is unlike anything we've seen on a cell phone before. When you slide the front face down, you'll see a blue arc that's just short of 180 degrees. By swiping your finger up and down the arc you can scroll through the music player menu options, which are arranged along another arc that appears on the display. It's an appealing design as the two arcs together form a full circle. The display isn't a touch screen, so you can't swipe your finger as you would on a scroll wheel, but you can move quickly though the various menu options and a long list of songs. Also, I like that you can press and hold at each end of the arc to keep moving through your song list without lifting your finger.

The phone runs on a symbian 60 series version 3.1.The UI is non-complex, and the fact that the phone is fast helps considerably.The i450 is a quad-band phone that supports 3G . I would have liked to see Wi-Fi, but had to settle for GPRS and EDGE. The inbuilt browser is cool, but no multiple pages. The phone supports many third party applications, courtesy S60.The i450 comes loaded with Realplayer for videos and also a Flash player, but what I like is that Samsung has also bundled support for Word, Excel and Powerpoint. The SGH-i450 also has support for Assisted GPS, which is a technology that pinpoints your location by connecting to nearby cellular towers or other cell phones. It's sort of an enhancer to standard GPS that is particularly useful when a connection to a GPS satellite isn't available

MUSIC:

The external speakers provided with the Samsung Beat 450 certify that it's a music phone.Music performance was quite good, again thanks to the phone's speakers. They provided decent output with loud volume, and the audio quality was more than serviceable. As usual, a headset will provide the best experience so I recommend using one.

Camera:

Unfortunately, the SGH-i450's photo quality is disappointing. Images were much too dim and rather blurry, particularly when we were focusing on smaller objects. Also, colors were distorted with reds being way too red. It's just not what we expected from a 2-megapixel camera. Video quality was a tad better, but it was far from satisfying. If you still want to print your photos, you can connect directly to a PC or printer via a cable or Bluetooth.

Battery life:

The Samsung Beat 450 has a rated battery life of 5.4 hours talk time and 21.5 days of standby time. It has a decent talk time of 6 hours and 42 minutes. You'll get a bit less battery life when using 3G service

Price of Samsung Beat 450:

in US -: starts from $259

in India:- Rs 13,250.

Samsung SCH-B600

Today Samsung is set to ship the SCH-B600, the world’s first 10MP camera phone.
The camera includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also has an auto focus and a flash unit that is optimal for 10MP photos. The LED autofocus feature is the first to be found on a camera phone.

The B600 has a lot to offer besides top notch picture taking quality. For instance, it also features mobile TV capability, an “Anycall Band” feature that allows users to play a “specific melody of instruments” that can be arranged to produce a song for downloading, Bluetooth, MP3 player, MMCmicro support, business card reader, and 128 polyphonic sounds.

If you’re hoping that the SCH-B600 will be released in the states, remember that like all really cool gadgets, this phone is only currently available in the East (Korea). Hopefully that will change in the near future.

Like some of the company's previous phones, the SCH-B600 is styled to look like a conventional digital still camera from one side and a bar-type cell phone from the other side, says Martyn Williams, our colleague with the IDG News Service. The high-end camera phone made its debut at the Cebit exhibition in Germany in March.Its other features include a tuner for South Korea's TU Media satellite multimedia service, Bluetooth, MP3 player, business card reader, and TV-output--for a price tag of about $950.The phone is the latest in a line of high megapixel camera phones from Samsung. The company launched a 5-megapixel camera phone in October 2004, a 7-megapixel phone in July 2005 and an 8-megapixel model in November last year.

When people take photos with their cameraphones it is always pretty obvious. The low-quality and often useless photos that result from a cameraphone will hopefully become a thing of the past and maybe even sooner than expected. Samsung’s SCH-B600 is simply amazing because it integrates a 10MP camera right into the phone. No, this isn’t just the cheesy camera that most cellphones have either. It features a 3x optical zoom that is also complimented with a 5x digital zoom. Surprisingly, it “also has auto focus and a flash unit that performs optimally for 10 megapixel photographs.“

The announcement of this camera came several months ago but this is still astonishing. It won’t make its way over to the United States but I think it is important simply for the proof-of-concept. What’s one big problem that manufacturer’s are probably trying to tackle with these high-resolution cameraphones? I’m sure there is a huge battery life issue. I never use the cheap camera that is on my cellphone because after a few snapshots my battery is nearly drained. Heck, that’s with a camera that doesn’t have optical zoom so the battery life on this Samsung must last for only a few pictures. I wonder how long it will be until a battery will emerge that is truly “long life?”

Sony Ericsson C905

The Sony Ericsson C905 is (as far as we know) the first 8.1 megapixel phone to hit Europe and the general world market, and it promises to bring a new round of the megapixel wars as other manufacturers try to catch up.

The camera is clearly the main selling point with the C905, but Sony Ericsson haven't skimped on other features. The C905 has GPS, WiFi, HSDPA high-speed data, stereo Bluetooth and an FM radio.

The display is a 2.4" 240 x 320 pixel panel, and tucked behind it is a slide-out numeric keypad. There's also a version of the Access Netfront web browser, push email support, instant messaging and of course a multimedia player.

Because it bears the Cyber-shot name, the Sony Ericsson C905 is obviously going to be very capable when it comes to digital imaging. Yes, the 8.1 megapixel sensor is the best in its class, but the C905 also has a bright Xenon flash, autofocus, face detection, red-eye reduction and an image stabilizer. The C905 also features Sony Ericsson multishot "BestPic" functionality and supports photo blogging.

The camera integrates with the inbuilt GPS to allow geotagging of photos. For video capture, the C905 again has an image stabilizer plus a video light, and an optional TV out cable (ITC-60) allows video clips to be played back on a standard television. There's no mention of the C905's video capture resolution and frame rate though. On top of that, there's a secondary video calling camera too. There's also a tripod kit (IPK-100) which is something we think may come in very useful.

The C905's GPS can be used with Google Maps or Wayfinder, but it's not clear what sort of satellite navigation options might be available as standard. As the C905 isn't a smartphone, then the GPS functionality might be a little limited.

Internal memory is 160MB, and the C905 comes with a 2GB Memory Stick Micro M2 card in the standard sales package. Talktime on 3G is up to 4 hours, with a maximum of 9 hours on GSM. Standby time is a maximum of 15 days, and the C905 also has a flight mode so that you can turn the cellular radio off completely.

It's certainly a nice phone, but there are a couple of drawbacks. The biggest one is the screen size - at just 2.4" the C905 doesn't compete well with the rival Nokia N95 8GB or upcoming N96. It would be nice to see a touchscreen, particularly when you consider the built-in GPS. The other issue we have is with the camera.. yes, 8.1 megapixels and all of those other clever features are very nice to have, but we would have hoped to see a decent optical zoom - after all, Sharp were offering optical zoom on the Sharp 902 back in 2004.

Coming in at 136 grams, the Sony Ericsson C905 is hardly lightweight and is actually heavier than the Nokia N95 8GB and N96 despite having a much smaller screen. On the other hand, the C905 does have a pretty good battery life, so perhaps that accounts for some of the increase in mass.
Despite some quibbles, the C905 looks to be a very good camera phone. Sony Ericsson say that the C905 will be out sometime during the early fourth quarter of this year in Night Black, Ice Silver and Copper Gold colour schemes.

The c905 wants to be a digital camera than a phone. At 8.1 megapixels, this camera phone has a Xenon flash, face detection and image stabilization.

So far this is the only camera with the highest MP in tow (only one beyond the 5MP range). It’s got more camera photo and video features than phone features.

With all that MP we’re talking about, the C905 Cyber-shot comes in with a 2GB Memory Stick Micro (M2). The screen is 2.4” scratch-resistant mineral glass display. You can send your photos wirelessly from your phone to the TV via Wi-Fi (using DLNA), or connect with wires using the TV-Out Cable ITC-60.

Nokia 6600 Fold

Nokia 6600 Fold is one phone which does not allow the users to keep a low profile. It has advanced mobile features and is capable of delivering seamless solutions, right from the time this phone is switched on. With technologies as stylish and user-friendly as GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, Bluetooth and 3G, the phone is a must-have for every modern day mobile user. The standard Li-Ion 860 mAh (BL-4CT) battery of this phone offers an exceptional standby and talktime of 300 and 4 hours(approx.), respectively, so that the users need not to engage themselves in frequent mobile battery recharges. It is available in Mysterious black and Sophisticated purple colours and delight the music lovers with an MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA player and FM radio. This GSM-enabled mobile phone from Nokia surely knows how to make its users happy and special. With one touch of a button, the elegant Nokia 6600 fold smoothly opens to reveal a stunningly bright 2.13’’ OLED screen displaying up to 16 million colors. With its seamless design, the signature “smooth back” of the Nokia 6600 fold creates a comfortable contour when open, and remains subtle and compact when closed. The high-gloss surface of the Nokia 6600 fold comes to life when tapped twice to “wake up” the hidden outer display that reveals time, incoming messages, missed calls and more. A double tap on the Nokia 6600 fold also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls. With a set of contemporary mobile features that belie its compact size, the Nokia 6600 fold is proof positive that beauty can be far more than skin deep. 3G technology allows for fast and easy sharing of pictures and videos snapped with the integrated 2 megapixel camera with double LED flash or swift access to Internet services such as Yahoo! Go or Flickr. The Nokia 6600 fold easily fits into a pocket or a handbag and has an estimated retail price of 275 EUR excluding taxes and subsidies.

Nokia’s new bijou and stylish 6600 duo will have no probs nestling snugly in your tight jean pocket or clutch bag. But while the Slide model packs the megapixel power, the Fold is still a little cutie.

This clamshell undoubtedly got the looks in the 6600 family, sporting a minimalist chic mirrored graduating paint finish that’s only disrupted by a subtle LED front display for call and clock info.

The Fold also likes to make life easy for you with a one-handed side activation button to open up the phone. The electromagnetic mechanism is swift but oh so smooth and once the phone has unfolded, its sleek design brilliantly hides the hinges for a seamless ‘smooth back’. Well, it’s got to look good up against your lughole.

Once you’ve stop playing with the auto flip action and stroking it polished shell, the 6600 Fold does jimmy some neat features into its ultra compact figure. It packs a fast 3G download punch but while it doesn’t match the 3.2-megapixel snapper of its slider sibling, its twoer is backed up by a blinding dual LED flash that’s nifty at illuminating low-lit areas. Throw in VGA-quality video capture at 15fps, a microSD card slot, built in music player and FM radio and Nokia’s famed user-friendliness and the 6600 amounts to sweet pint-sized package.
