My colleague has this mobile; and myself being a big fan of mobiles I got on to the task of understanding the niceties of this beauty and at at the same time identifying the ’’defects’’
+ Points:--
--> Memory Card Slot : Samsung has always been producing world class mobiles, but there was always a sore point (as seen in the case of the Best Mobile of the Year 2005; D500) they never gave an option of a memory card. Although the D600 boasts of this, it’s high price puts it in a different group. This mobile fulfils the slot for the middle ranged priced group. Unfortunately a MicroSD memory (bit costlier than SD memory card used in nokia phones), but still a memory card slot
--> Hot Swap Option : When u think of memory cards, the hot swap slot gains a lot of importance which unfortunately is not provided in all mobiles, but this mobile has it! No hassles in retrieveing the data, just plug out the memory card and do it
--> Auto Focus Option : I was kinda surprised, as this option is present in very few mobiles (mainly sony k750i, w800 and the nokia N series). Click away excellent pics... no tension!
--> Stereo LoudSpeakers : The Motorola E398 till date can boast of one thing, excellent twin stereo speakers, no other mobile has come near that. But this mobile does give it a fairly good run.
-ve Points
--> No flip case (as samsung are famous for that)
--> Interface still same as prev samsung mobs, no new themes
Apart from this, 262TFT screen, 1.3M camera, 35MB internal memory(4 MB for Java appln), FM, MP3 support, Bluetooth, USB cable support, etc etc all at a price of 13k!!!
Doods, go for this!!!
