My First Smartphone

Today we have an interesting mix of smartphone meets slimphone, brought to us by those stylish engineers at Samsung.

This is an interesting mashup we have here today, with part of the phone wanting to be a candybar style, regular numeric keypad phone and the software side nestling firmly in the bosom of the big M$. A windows mobile phone with an aversion to qwerty; interesting!

It’s clear that the phone is not trying to be an all singing and dancing smartphone. For one, it lacks a touch screen and the one it has will not be useful for the touch screen applications of WinMo.

Let’s have a look at what the phone is rocking under its sleek exterior:

Bands: 900/1800/1900

Operation System: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 SP

Browser: Pocket Internet Explorer

Weight: 101.4g

While this is only a sampling of some of the interesting features, we can see there is nothing out of the ordinary going on here; a standard mix of style phone and WinMo features.
