Samsung Armani Testing The Phone On The Scale Of Style And Substance
Thanks to the new iPhone multi touch and HTC Touch Flo
, the touch screen phones have started to gain a wider acceptance in the market. Samsung is one company which was expected to try and cash in on this phenomena. Needless to say that with the Samsung Armani the company has made absolutely no compromises when it comes to style. But let us have a look at the brains behind this beautiful cell phone.
To begin with this is not a 3G device so for the people who are looking for video calling and high speed mobile data connectivity, please keep on looking, this is not for you. There is no support for advanced 3G technologies like UMTS, WCDMA or even HSCSD. The phone does not even feature a WLAN adapter which is a must have for phones in this price range. What this phone actually features is a triband GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 radio. There is support for class 10 GPRS and EDGE so if you want mobile surfing and all, you would be pretty much in the dark ages of dial up speeds.
The storage capabilities of this phone are ordinary and with just 60 MB of on board memory there is nothing much to write home about when you get phones with a lot more storage than this. Of course you can always add more memory using the MicroSD card slot that Samsung added. Interestingly this along with the Bluetooth connection is are the only two aspects of the phone where third party accessories are available for this phone. Other than this you are pretty much bound to Samsung for the accessories because all other ports are proprietary.
