Samsung Blast-SGH-T729

Samsung Blast-SGH-T729
Editor Rating: 4 of 5

What T-Mobile might lack in the way of a high speed data network, they more than make up for with service plans and features geared towards families and messaging addicts. Their myFaves plan and Sidekick family of devices have caught on with budget-conscious parents and their SMS-obsessed teenagers alike T-Mobile is working to (finally) roll out their 3G network in 2008, and they've also been working with manufacturers on a fleet of fun (and easy) to use handsets with advanced features and...

I might be dating myself here, but do you remember those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ads that hawked chocolate peanut butter cups under the slogan, "Two great tastes that taste great together"?  Every time I used the Samsung UpStage over the past few weeks I thought of that slogan.  Combining a phone on one side and a music player on the other, this inventive candybar phone seeks to answer the question, "What if I glued my iPod nano to the back of my cell phone?  Huh?  Would...

Editor Rating: 4.7 of 5

A few years back, Motorola generated a lot of buzz in the mobile phone community with their ultimately ill-fated MPx (MPx300) dual-hinge clamshell. The mpx packed a full QWERTY keyboard into a standard flip phone form factor, and opened both the "long" and "short" ways for use either as a traditional phone or widescreen device. While that phone was a little ahead of its time (it's big problem was not enough horsepower for its intended functionality), the idea of a dual-hinged clamshell...

Editor Rating: 4 of 5

One look at Samsung's Blackjack and it's clear who the electronics giant has got in their sights. Like the Motorola Q, the Blackjack is a Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition device that features a full QWERTY keyboard and high-speed data capabilities. Blackjack is thinner, lighter, and narrower than the Q, but it's keyboard and controls had to be a bit cramped in order to fit onto that narrow frame. On the other hand, Blackjack's processor is a hair faster than the one found inside of the Q -...

Samsung SGH-X830 Black

Samsung SGH-X830 Black
Editor Rating: 3.8 of 5

The Samsung X830 is half Mp3 player and half phone. The X830 looks exactly like an iPod when closed. In my opinion the X830 is the Samsung version of the “iPhone”. When closed the phone looks like a normal MP3 player but when open looks like a cell phone. The dial jog on the phone resembles that of the iPod but works a little different. The phone currently comes in four colors: black, white, orange and pink, but more colors are expected to hit the market soon. The X830 has 1 GB memory built in,...

Samsung IP-830w

Samsung IP-830w
Editor Rating: 4 of 5

Samsung's IP-830w handset for Sprint is a serious business device.  The "International Smart Device" and "Mobile Intelligent Terminal" monikers emblazoned on the packaging and handset itself are something of a clue to this phone's target market: Business users who travel abroad and need maximum connectivity and productivity wherever they go. The IP-830w is unique in that it's a Dual-Band CDMA/GSM phone.  That's right, it will work on both Sprint's CDMA network and international...

Samsung SGH-T629

Samsung SGH-T629
Editor Rating: 4.3 of 5

Sliders, sliders everywhere but nary a black one in sight.  Samsung's new t629 slider phone takes the place of the t809 in T-Mobile's lineup, trading in all-black chic for silver sleek while leaving the rest of the handset mainly the same.  Why the change?  Is the t629 really any better than the t809 it replaces?  I guess that depends on which you prefer, black or silver.  As the adage goes, beauty is only skin deep, and there are some notable changes to this latest...

Samsung SCH-A930

Samsung SCH-A930
Editor Rating: 4 of 5

Samsung's SCH-A930 is a dual-band CDMA cell phone for Verizon Wireless.  Clad in basic black with external music player controls, this flip phone is one of the less flashy looking handsets in Verizon's VCast-compatible line up.  Don't let the plain design fool you, though: The A930 is more than capable of making calls and entertaining you with a variety of built-in and network-based media options. As Verizon standardizes the user interface on almost all of their phones (the...

Samsung SGH-T519 Trace

Samsung SGH-T519 Trace
Editor Rating: 4.3 of 5

Can a mobile phone be too thin?  Samsung deems determined to find out, as they keep pushing the envelope when it comes to building feature-rich mobiles that are as thin as possible.  While the 8mm thin T-Mobile exclusive "Trace" SGH-T519 isn't Samsung's thinnest phone - that title currently rests with the X828, a 6.9mm thin model - it's darn close. Samsung packed a solid feature set into the Trace, including a 1.3 MP camera, audio player with mp3 and AAC support, microSD removable...

Samsung SGH-D900

Samsung SGH-D900
Editor Rating: 4.5 of 5

Early this summer Samsung introduced their Ultra Edition line of super-slim cellular phones aimed at fashion and technology-conscious users.  The three phone Ultra Edition lineup features a 6.9mm thick candybar-style handset, a 9.9mm clamshell phone, and the 12.9mm thick D900 slider.  Samsung is billing the D900 as "the world's slimmest slider," and while that distinction may be short-lived in the wake of ever advancing technology, the impression this phone makes when taken out of a...

Samsung SGH-T809

Samsung SGH-T809
Editor Rating: 4.5 of 5

Slider phones are all the rage right now and Samsung's T-Mobile SGH-T809/SGH-D820 is one of the sexiest slider's I've seen.  Combining stunning good looks, a slim, sleek form factor and a gorgeous screen with the features you'd expect from a mid-range multimedia phone, the T809 is a winner in almost every sense of the word.  If only Samsung had included a decent battery with it, they'd have a can't-miss hit on their hands. The T809/D820 is a slider phone featuring a large screen...
