Samsung Shark 2 S5550 Mobile Phone
February 3, 2010
Here is another stylish, yet to launch mobile phone from Samsung. Rather than crafted with any one highlighting feature, this new member of Samsung Shark series, comes with many handsome features, ample enough to flaunt before the multifunctional mobile handsets in the market. The design is plainly slider, and it comes with the normal slim body with curved ends. With a dimension of 101.8mm X 48.8mm X 14.8mm and a weight of 99 grams, this mobile phone is comfortable to hold.
Samsung Shark 2 S5550 mobile phone works on quad band GSM network and supports 3G as well. This slider phone has a 2.2 inches display of resolution 240 X 320 pixels. The AMOLED screen and the support for 262K colours enables the users to have a brilliant view of images, text and videos. But, the usual issue of difficulty to view under the heavy sunlight repeats in it, and thus, you need to cover the display with your hands to read it while in outdoors. Nothing specific to comment on its buttons, as it is quite comfortable to use.
You can personalize Samsung S5550 Shark GSM Mobile Phone with themes, tunes and videos. The applications work fast, and there are some short cuts to social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. The browser employed in it works pretty fast, but loading of too many applications can be slow at times.
Furthermore, Samsung S5550 Slider mobile phone comes equipped with a 5 mega pixels camera with flash, auto focus and LED. Some effects such as smile detection, face detection and shooting effects are also provided to fine tune your capture. The picture quality it offers is fantastic and even the LED flash employed in it does a decent job. Video recording is also possible with it.
The music player of Samsung S5550 Shark cannot be said to so superior. Although its loud speaker performs well, the music player delivers you a sharp voice. The MPEG-4 file format video files can be played on it. The AMOLED display of this cell phone delivers an awesome video picture quality.
The battery of Samsung Shark S5550 5MP Camera Mobile Phone offers a whopping battery life of 11.7 hours and 623 hours of stand by time. Overall, Samsung Shark 2 is a strong player, with some major ratings including good camera, attractive battery life, AMOLED screen, all at a cheap price tag. You can consider grabbing one, if these are your criteria to buy a new mobile phone.
Acer M900 Smartphone
February 1, 2010
The specification sheet of Acer M900 smartphone said it as a business-oriented mobile phone, with a 5MP camera, a 3.8 inches display, a QWERTY keyboard; plus some attractive features such as fingerprint reader protection, 3G and so on. I got impressed at the first glance, and dared to take a second look at it.
As soon as I hold Acer M900 in my hand, I felt a weight and a bulkiness, definitely an uncomfortable feeling to carry. But with a dimension of 62mm X 119mm X 17mm and a weight of 188 grams, this was expected. However, this heavy weight champion has managed to incorporate a 3.8 inches touch screen display, of resolution 400 X 800 pixels, within its bulky body. It displayed images, videos and web pages pretty well, but it was not comfortable to view under heavy sunlight. Moreover, my fingerprints easily fell in love with this display.
The QWERTY keyboard of Acer M900 smartphone is a slide-out kind, with pretty large and responsive keys. There is a fingerprint scanner under the display of Acer M900, in which you will have to swipe your fingers to gain access to the phone. This security mechanism seems to be beneficial, to protect your personal files in the phone. It is a Windows mobile phone that runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 platform and has Acer’s own interface, Acer Shell. Overall, this interface has made Acer M900 smartphone an attractive one, with better 3D view and user-friendliness.
Acer M900 Windows Mobile Phone runs on a 522MHz Samsung processor and I did not find any lag in between, to load up to three applications. When it crossed three, it started functioning slow. It features a 5 mega pixels camera with a few camera settings such as ISO, white balance, scene modes etcetera. Even though I did not expect a good picture quality from a business smartphone, this Acer mobile phone surprised me by delivering good photographs, with realistic colours and details. However, the video capture was not an impressive one.
I enjoyed few of my favourite music tracks using Acer M900’s media player. The sound quality was good, and even the video playback did not disappoint me much. The only drawback is that it cannot play back Xvid files. I tried the integrated GPS of the phone as well, which showcased a decent performance. For connectivity, Acer M900 5MP Camera Mobile Phone has 3G, Wi-Fi and bluetooth. The battery of Acer M900 stood for around 240 minutes continuous talk time. The company claims it to stand for 470 hours in stand by mode.
Overall, Acer M900 3G mobile phone seemed to be a good choice with some stunning features like fingerprint scanner, good sound quality, good camera and so on. But it is not, when it comes to the memory. With just around 128MB RAM, the multi-tasking in M900 is almost difficult. However, if you do not want to run so many applications on your cell phone at a time, then Acer M900 smartphone is not a bad choice.
