The Samsung F700 beats the iPhone



The Samsung F700 beats the iPhone

Samsung F700The imitation in design of the phone manufacturers is not a totally unusual practice these days, and for some people it’s easy to confuse brands – that’s what the competitive brands rely on in order to sell their products. This isn’t the case though with the Samsung F700 – yes, it does copy the design a bit, but it does give a lot more under the sleek glossy big touch-screen (256K colors, Size 240 x 440 pixels).

You can watch videos and listen to music with this phone from Samsung – it runs on a flash-based user interface and sports a high-speed mobile broadband connection (HSPDA) that allows you to browse the Internet from almost any place where there is decent network signal (at speeds that go up to 3.6Mbps) – something that is missing from the iPhone.

If you wish to store a lot of music and video on the phone you also have the expandable microSD slot where more memory can be added easily. It is 16mm thick, and so 5 mm thicker than the iPhone, but the extra-features and the keyboard may be reason enough to accept it. The secondary video-call camera is meant to facilitate the visual signal for an audio-video conference. You can also view documents, and schedule various events with the embedded organizer. As connectivity – the phone features Bluetooth, EDGE and USB and as the messaging capabilities – there are the simple text, multimedia message and the instant messaging system.

A very interesting feature of Samsung F700 (sounds like a name of one of those military planes - the F series) is the VibeTonz technology which allows the user to actually feel the buttons with a responsive vibration. It has been announced that the phone will be available in Europe in November.
