Samsung Flipshot on Review

Samsung created yet another innovation when it launched SCH-U900- the Samsung Flipshot. At first look, you may mistake this phone as a digital camera, which it unwillingly intends to replace. Turn this handset over, then you would see the familiar makings of an ordinary cell phone. With 3-megapixel of image size for its built-in camera, the Samsung Flipshot is set to be a big competitor in the market amidst high-quality camera phones from other cell phone makers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Is Samsung Flipshot worth the purchase? Reading cell phone reviews, would help you a lot in deciding and here’s one that we made for you on the SCH-U900.

The Flipshot comes with a fun and stylish flip design. It is one elegant phone that you want to bring everywhere with you. It weighs 110 grams with dimensions of 3.8 x 1.8 x 0.7 inches. It works on a CDMA dual band and has 3G capabilities. Its display screen is fairly large with 240 x 320 pixels resolution.

The Flipshot is a cool gadget that basically has all the phone features that you need. Although the SCH-U900 brags about its 3MP built-in camera, it seems to overlook image quality. For those who are used in using Nokia or SE phones for a camera, the Flipshot would definitely receive a low score on image quality. Its phone features are not worth much of a praise. The SCH-U900’s camera can also double up as a video recorder and comes with flash, digital zoom and auto-focus.

SCH-U900 can also be your resident multimedia gadget. It has a video player and supports Mp3 format files. You can use this handset as a music player although it doesn’t come with headphones. You can connect with your friends fast and easy via Bluetooth connectivity. You can also transfer files to your PC via USB syncing. For web buffs, you can surf the Internet via WAP 2.0. It also comes with GPS and email functions.

The Samsung Flipshot has additional features including an alarm clock, calendar, stopwatch, calculator, world clock and a notepad. For voice calls, you can use its voice dialing and speaker phone features. At about $200, the SCH-U900 is a fairly good buy!
