Samsung Memoir Now Free at T-Mobile

Posted in Samsung Phones on December 10th, 2009

Samsung MemoirT-Mobile is making a high-end smartphone available for its users for free upon the signing of a two year contract agreement namely the Samsung Memoir. The handset which was unveiled last February has been up for purchase since the end of the same month; February.

The idea is to have the Samsung Memoir given out to T-Mobile’s subscribers for free over a two year contract agreement. The subscribers under T-Mobile can get it for free on a deal equaling the same time frame with an Even More plan. Sounds like a good deal to me. An 8-megapixel photo snapper and a full touchscreen display all coming for free does not come any better than it is already!

Compared to other mobile devices around, the Samsung Memoir might not seem appealing, but do not forget to have at the back of your mind that the 8-megapixel photo snapper can prove a great option in a lot of cases. Should any of the T-Mobile subscribers be interested in buying the phone with an Even More Plus plan from the carrier, then they will have to be ready to part with the sum of $449.99 for it.

Just to refresh your memories about some of the great features of the Samsung Memoir, it comes with full support for 850MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz frequencies, 3G capabilities, support for instant messaging, Windows Live, video recording features, Yahoo!, Picture messaging, E-mail and Internet browsing and AIM.

The Samsung Memoir also comes to the market with additional features like Bluetooth connectivity, speakerphone, music player, video player, built-in GPS and a 1000mAh Li-ion battery that delivers up to 4.8 hours of talk time or up to 9 days of standby time. The phone measures 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches and weighs in at 4.4 ounces, supporting a micro SD memory card slot in case of additional storage space and a I GB memory card included in the package for retailers.

The Emergence of Samsung M5650 Lindy

Posted in S-series, Samsung Phones on December 9th, 2009

Samsung Lindy M5650Samsung is about to release to the market yet another handset, this is most likely going to be in the Corby line up that we are already used to. Though the Corby moniker is not included in its name, the all new M5650 Lindy seems to have all the specifications and the look to be regarded as part of the well known lineup. The other striking thing about the phone is the price tag which is same as the Samsung Corby. This time around, it comes with Wi-Fi capabilities, improved photo snapper and 3g connectivity.

The new Samsung M5650 Lindy is fully featured with great hardware specification which includes 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi support, 3 megapixel photo support, video calling, dedicated music control, QVGA resolution on the touchscreen and so much more.

The new phone from Samsung is one of the most affordable of its kind when you look generally at the market. Imagine all the users have to enjoy for a considerable low price. Imagine having at your palm a phone that commands similar design as the Samsung S3650W Corby even at a lower price. The phone is tagged at 159 Euros in Portugal, 149 Euros with a promotion from TMN.

The new Samsung M5650 Lindy phone lacks a 3.5mm audio jack and does not look like it can sport some of the great features peculiar to smart phones of its nature. Though, the price may be great in terms of being a touchscreen handset. Details of when the phone will be available in the market is still unknown to us but be sure to get all the details as the days unfold right here. The only thing certain is the fact that the New Samsung M5650-Lindy phone is going to win a lot of hearts when it finally comes out.

Samsung Genio Featuring Wi-Fi Coming Soon

Posted in Samsung Phones on December 7th, 2009

Samsung GenioSamsung will soon be releasing one of its most successful and cheapest touch-screen mobile phones, Samsung Genio S3650, with a Wi-Fi enabled version. Although it has not been announced by Samsung officially just yet, we learned this as the stylish mobile phone model just finalized its certification as the S3650W with the Wi-Fi association.

Samsung S3650 Genio is not the first phone which has been equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity after release. Earlier, Samsung had also integrated Wi-Fi into the Star S5230. Samsung will be introducing no less than 3 million phone sets in the market with the upgrade, which will truly introduce the improved Genio as the most convenient and suitable mobile phone for users on a budget.

With the addition of the Wi-Fi feature, the Samsung S3650 Genio is the hottest touch-screen phone for its price range. We will just be anxiously keeping a watch on how the market reacts to the new shipment.

The certification papers for the Samsung S3650W were found on the official Wi-Fi Alliance website, confirming the certification of the phone. This also alludes to the fact that Samsung is preparing for production of the improved model in bulk, so the mobile markets in Europe and around the world should prepare for a much stronger Samsung Genio. However, there would not be any change in the rest of the features.

Although nothing can be reported for sure until we get the official nod from the Korean electronics giants, but the expectations from the improved Genio are very high for those who have learned about the news. Others are not as thrilled, as they expect a price difference making the users earn the Wi-Fi connectivity. Let us just hope the phone does not prove to be the expensive version of the Samsung Genio sans Wi-Fi.

The Samsung Diva Collection

Posted in Samsung Phones on December 2nd, 2009

Samsung S7070 and S5150Samsung is following in the footsteps of the Sony Ericsson Jalou, in the attempt to market a ‘female-oriented’ line of phones. While some critics had accused Sony Ericsson of being patronising, with the Jalou’s makeup mirror proving none too popular with some reviewers, the Samsung S7070 Diva and Samsung S5150 Diva seem like a refreshing step in the right direction. While the hardware specs of these phones are quite nice in themselves, the phones really stand out for their sophisticated appearance. With quilted battery-covers and embossed casings these phones really are for the style-conscious phone users.

The two phones are the first in the new line of the ‘Diva Collection’, of which there will presumably be more handsets as 2010 progresses. On the face of it, the S7070 is a fairly run-of-the-mill touchscreen handset, with a 2.8″ resistive screen and 3 megapixel camera, the phone is so far doing little to impress. However, what sets it apart from other phones of a similar specification (such as the Samsung Genio) is the phones appearance, which deviates away from the bog-standard touchscreen design that makes each new touchscreen virtually indistinguishable from the next.

The S5150 is much in the same vein, a standard clamshell with a notable appearance that sets it apart from the crowd. What’s noticeable about the S5150 is the outer casing which is surprisingly attractive with its silvery pillow finish. Unlike the S7070, the S5150 is not a touchscreen but does still come with much of the same nice line of features. Both handsets benefit from excellent integration with social networking sites that make them appealing in their own right, and a pretty stylish and easy to use interface.

While these new handsets are most certainly stylish one thing they are not is like the ‘designer’ phones that have been released in the past. These will feature a heavily marked up price courtesy of a designer brand name being plastered all over while actually offering very little in terms of features and functionality. The S7070 and S5150 offer the style while still retaining all the functionality; it’s just a shame they are being marketed at women because I wouldn’t mind owning one of these myself.

A Spectacular Samsung S5560 Marvel

Posted in S-series on December 2nd, 2009

Samsung S5560Mobile phones make good gifts for family and friends. Now that the holiday season is in the air, customers should check out different mobile phones available in the market.

First Class Touch

The Samsung S5560 was mentioned in other articles as a phone that looks similar to S5230 and S5600 but this mobile phone is really different. The Marvel is one of the latest mobile phones from the popular mobile manufacturer that has mixed style of smartphone and simplicity of a regular mobile phone. In its sleek black color, the phone has a very classic feel that we all love.

Its awesome 3 inch WQVGA touch screen adds sophistication to the phone. Also integrated in the handset is a reliable 5 megapixel camera that can record videos. This mobile phone picture shooter has smile and blink detection features together with image stabilization function. It even works well with the LED flash.

Another important feature to check out is the hip music player that plays MP3, WAV, eAAC+, H.263, H.264 and MP4 audio file formats. To add more spice to that, the mobile phone sports the practical 3.5mm audio jack that music fans require. The mobile music experience is also enhanced by the FM radio with RDS which can be played in speakerphone mode.

Creating Connections

Mobile phones are basically used to stay connected with others so connectivity issues are really important. The Samsung S5560 may not be marvelous enough in some phone reviews since it doesn’t support 3G connection. But that can be considered a smart move by the Korean company since the Marvel offers the convenient Wi-Fi connections. Accessing the net in free Wi-Fi zones assures fast and strong line to the internet. It has quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity so it quickly sends SMS and MMS. Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP is another option for connecting this phone to other devices.

The Samsung S5560 Marvel is made available in easy-to-own plans that customers can also check. Since it is bundled in a complete package, users can expect that this simple touch phone is ready to use.

Microsoft Helps Launch the Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani

Posted in Samsung Phones on December 1st, 2009

Samsung B7620 Giorgio ArmaniAt long last, there’s a fashion phone accessory that doesn’t toe the line that fashion phone should be sleek and sexy.  The new Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani takes off where other fashion phones leave, covering another part of the market looking for a full-featured smartphone that is also a fashion statement about their successful lifestyles.  Never mind its heft and bulk, as most business phones are.

Giorgio Armani took the time off to make a personal pitch during the phone’s recent launch saying that the B7620 can coordinate “perfectly with Giorgio Armani suits” which would make it “perfect for today’s managers.”

Well said. The latest bronze (or Gold) bodied Samsung-Armani baby is well-suited for corporate executives who want beauty and full-featured functionalities under their silk-lined Armani suits.  And the latest Samsung Armani smartphone fits the bill perfectly

Pricey High End Features

Running the Windows Mobile 6.5 on a powerful microprocessor engine, the hefty 164g full-QWERTY Slider touchscreen handset comes with a 2-step 30-degree tilt for its display when fully slid out.  The Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani features HSDPA and HSUPA on the 3G network for broadband internet surfing speeds.  It has WiFi, A-GPS and Bluetooth 2.0 to cap off its data connectivity functions.  It sports a 3/5” WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, 8 GB of internal storage expandable to 32GB from its microSD slot, and a 5-megapixel autofocus Camera.

Apart from handling all the popular media files formats, you get FM radio and when it comes to internet surfing, you get the Opera 9.5 browser.  There’s a document reader that can access your MS Office files

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer speaks about smartphones running on its platform declaring that they “bring together the best of the Web, the PC, and mobile phones so that people can connect instantly to the experience they care about” but more than that, “they want a phone that offers design qualities that match their personality and lifestyle.”

And the Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani is really all about lifestyle – the affluent kind.   At around ₤700, this magnificent is certainly not for everyone.  While its rich features can be found elsewhere at a fraction of the price, nothing comes close to it in terms of imparting the owner the bragging rights that come with the Armani label on it.
