What's Right With This Picture? Hands On With The Samsung U600

Usually when I blog on Fridays I'm at Starbucks theatermall and I take a snap of my mug while abusing my lungs outside. Since I'm on a reduction program I'm staying inside were there's no smoking.



[Samsung U600, Close but no cigar]
I was looking at some mobiles awhile ago. Was tempted to get Samsung's U600. It's a super slim 3.2MP slider the downside it's not 3G. Also the slider seemed suspect and was wobbly. Looks wise it's great features wise so so. A2DP worked but got disconnected when you tried to do something else. Silly beyond explanation... Using the wired headset you could go about the phone like normal. Samsung dropped the ball on this one and this and having slow 2G connection were the deal breaker for me. The sensor type softkeys were a bit over sensitive for my liking. Navigation was abit touch and go. As with all Samsung mobiles the camera was superb, built in mp3 player was also ok. Expansion is via microSD. Call quality was ok though. Is it worth the PhP 19K srp (Samsung warranty) or 15K gray market (no warranty) price tag? HELL NO. Fashion forward users might disagree but I'm a practical man, function over form.

Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
