Samsung is a phone company which may not release new mobile phone models in the market as often as Nokia – but they are still a worthy competition. This is especially true when it comes to the smartphones that they offer.

Basically, smartphones are defined as a mobile phone which offers more than the typical features included in a traditional mobile device.  What sets smartphones apart from the traditional handsets is the PC-like functionalities that they have.

These extra functions are ideal for those who are using their mobile phones for business applications.

Now, if you are looking for a smartphone issued by Samsung, the Samsung I560 may just be what you are looking for.

Samsung I560 Review: A Quick Look at the Features Included in the Mobile Phone

To know what the Samsung I560 mobile phone is all about, here are the features included in this mobile phone:

- 240×320 pixel screen resolution

- MP3 and media playing capabilities

- 3-Megapixel camera with LED flash

- Video capture

- Bluetooth, 3G, GPS and USB connectivity

- 150 MB internal memory, with 512 MB memory card

- miniSD expansion slot

- 4.5 hours talktime

- 360 hours on standby

The Good & the Bad: Analyzing the Performance of the Samsung I560

Since the Samsung I560 falls under the smartphone category, there are a lot of expectations from this phone. This slider phone was first released in the market in October 2007.

The good thing about the Samsung I560 is that there is HSDPA and GPS connectivity. If you are looking for speed, the S60 operating platform is ideal. Its navigation feature is what makes the Samsung I560 a decent enough phone to have. 

The battery life of the Samsung I560 mobile phone is decent. All in all, this is a pretty solid and unexciting mobile phone from Samsung.

Now, the downside is that Samsung has already released similar-looking phones in the market. If form factor, sleekness and design is what you are looking for, this is not for you. 

Another downside to the phone is that quality of display is not as sharp as the previous Samsung versions. The colors are a little dimmer, too.

Additional Information about the Samsung I560 Mobile Phone

If you are looking for a new phone to purchase, you should also think about the mobile phone deals that you are getting. In the UK, there are two types of mobile phone deals that you can get along with the Samsung I560 unit.

You can either select the monthly, fixed rate – or the Pay-as-You-Go deal. Once you decide that the features of the Samsung I560 is exactly what you are looking for – then you should choose between these two mobile phone deal types.

If you are racking up minute after minute on your mobile phone, the fixed monthly rate may be suitable for you. On the other hand, if you do not often use your mobile phone, the Pay-as-You-Go option is a much more cost-effective choice.

The Samsung G600 is a 5 megapixel camera phone designed in slider style. In order to activate the autofocus on the digital camera it’s necessary to open the phone. You can activate the camera of the Samsung G600 either with the button on the side of the camera or from the menu. It takes a little while after you activate the camera for it to be ready. Next to the lens of the camera you will find a small flash that is built into the camera. Even though it may be small, it is actually a rather powerful flash. The quality of the camera on the Samsung G600 is rather close to that of a compact digital camera.

For the most part the Samsung G600 is a good mobile phone, but having to open the camera to use it can be inconvenient, especially if you are looking to capture something quickly.

Of course, with email capability, there may be a little inconvenience in that the phone doesn’t have the QWERTY keyboard but just the standard keypad. The Samsung G600 is not made for high speed emailing or texting messaging.

The best way to make a decision about the Samsung G600 is to read a Samsung G600 review and obtain all the information you need.

The iPod Touch is a great product with lots to offer, but its premium price tag and limited capacity should give some shoppers pause. Don’t assume that Apple’s most expensive iPod is the best solution for your needs. If you’re planning on watching a lot of video, high-capacity products like the iPod Classic or Archos 605 WiFi will allow you to load entire seasons of your favorite TV shows

Design

For better or worse, the iPod Touch is clearly the iPhone’s baby brother. Like most products that roll out of Apple, the Touch shows the love of committed designers, hardware engineers, and usability experts. The Touch measures a slim and pocketable 4.3 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.31 inch, with an all-metal-and-glass design that feels as expensive as it looks. Because nothing will ruin a portable video player faster than a gouge across its screen

It’s no surprise that Apple has been on a screaming rampage of success with its gorgeous, high tech products these last few years. Every new release seems to cast a heavy shadow over its predecessor. This is certainly the case with the new iPod touch. The improvements over earlier designs – bigger, better LCD, touch screen controls, thinner frame, Wi-Fi access, etc. – are dramatic leaps forward, not only for the iPod itself but for future Apple products. The 16GB iPod touch, selling for $399 USD ($299 USD for the 8GB version), has all the signs of a permanent, monumental success. Read our review and check out our video to find out why you’ll want this multi-function media player in your arsenal of tech.

As with other iPods, the touch lacks a user-replaceable battery, a memory expansion port, and stereo Bluetooth (a shame in such a mediacentric device), but with such an artful design and excellent performance, those are forgivable flaws. The iPod touch is the premier convergence device.And if you are making that choice, iPhone clearly wins out – it’s still got that neat interface, plus a whole variety of text- and phone-specific functions. It’s a superb phone that happens to double up as a slimline, pocket-sized media player, with the sort of memory one would expect from a product that size.”

“Pros: Beautiful and intuitive interface; iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store is fleet over fast Wi-Fi and very convenient; web browsing and YouTube video on an iPod; extra applications useful.

Cons: Darkly lit video and photos lack detail; no external volume controls or support for remote control; incompatible with old video accessories; no calendar event editing.”

Great, but isn’t £279 a lot of cash to spend on a 16GB media player? Wouldn’t you be better off with an iPod Classic? Well, there’s not much in terms of raw specifications to distinguish it from the rest of the iPod range. You get the usual limited range of music file format support – just AAC, Apple Lossless and MP3 for music and H.264 and MPEG4 files for video. There’s no FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or WMA support, nor any for DivX or WMV, MPEG1 or 2. Although very beautifully designed and fantastically thin at just 8mm, its pocket footprint is actually a little larger than a standard iPod, measuring 62mm wide by 110mm tall. And battery life is nothing to write home about either, weighing in at up to 22 hours for audio and a par-score five hours for video.

Sony Ericsson K750i, released in the second quarter of 2005, still remains the best buy in its price range. No other mobile phone companies offer a comparable feature rich model at a price of 10,500 INR or $250.

Going right into its specifications, K750i spots a clearer TFT screen than its predecessor K700i, easy to use keypad, and a very userfriendly user interface. Its 2-megapixel autofocus camera performs reasonably well under well lit conditions, but hopeless in poorly lit surroundings. Its built-in flash is of very limited purpose. The music player gives good audio quality, few of the drawbacks being the lack of graphic equalizers and the inability to forward the current playing track. Dedicated hardware buttons help the user to go straight to the media player without having to navigate through the menu.

K750i supports GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz networks, alongside HSCSD and GPRS. Unfortunately, EDGE and 3G are absent. Bluetooth and Infrared manages short distance connectivity. The phone comes with a 32 MB non-volatile internal memory and a 64KB memory stick in its expandable Memory Stick Duo slot, which can be expanded up to 2 GB. Other features of Sony Ericsson K750i include mms and sms, polyphonic as well as MP3 ring tones, email, WAP 2.0 support, USB 1.1 connectivity, and Java MIDP.

On full charge, assuming phone conversations for more than a hour daily, and the phone switched on for 18 hrs on a trot, the charge will last for two such days. MP3 playback drains the battery faster. For every one hour of MP3 music, it consumes nearly 20% charge.
