Photo gallery:Samsung Reclaim SPH-M560 With green living very much in the public consciousness, green gadgets are becoming more popular. Exactly what that concept means can vary–for some it’s as simple as a device that uses less power–but manufacturers are applying the label to everything from televisions to cameras. For cell phones, the idea of green…
Photo gallery:Samsung Gravity 2 The Samsung Gravity was one of T-Mobile’s first messaging phones, and while we liked it, it did not have a lot of features. It had no 3G, no GPS, and only a 1.3-megapixel camera. However, its sequel, appropriately dubbed the Samsung Gravity 2, fixed all that. The Gravity 2 not only…
Photo gallery:Samsung Intensity Samsung is no stranger to messaging phones, especially those with the slider form factor. There’s the Samsung Rant, the Samsung Gravity, and the Samsung Messager, just to name a few. Now another Samsung slider messaging phone has joined the family, and it’s the Samsung Intensity for Verizon Wireless. It’s not as high…
Photo gallery:Samsung Sunburst When AT&T announced a slew of new messaging devices at CTIA 2010, we weren’t surprised to see two Samsung phones on the list. Samsung is hardly new to the messaging phone trend, after all. However, we were surprised to see the Samsung Sunburst classified as a messaging device, since it doesn’t have…
Photo gallery:Samsung Intensity II Editors’ note: For a teen’s perspective on the Samsung Intensity II, check out CNET’s From the Field blog. We’re no stranger to sequels in the cell phone world, and the follow-up to the original Samsung Intensity makes a worthy update for Verizon’s lineup. While mostly the same as the original in…
As an entry-level metallic-gray-and-black flip phone, the Samsung Gusto is the spitting image of the Samsung Smooth, though its feature set and design slightly differ. Although there are some nice features inside, the phone’s build and call quality are pretty unremarkable. The price, however, is very low–free from Verizon.com after an online discount and a…
Photo gallery:Samsung Gravity 3 As it goes with some trilogies, the third installment in Samsung’s Gravity series–the Gravity 3 slider for T-Mobile–amps up the production value and visual effects, but adds little to the storyline. That’s not to suggest that the Gravity 3 isn’t a worthy successor to Samsung’s Gravity 2. In fact, the Gravity…
Photo gallery:Samsung Fascinate (Verizon Wireless) Editors’ note: Portions of the User interface and Features sections were taken from our reviews of the other Samsung Galaxy S models, since the devices share a common UI and similar core features. This review has also been updated with information about Bing. As Samsung’s Galaxy S devices have hit…
The Samsung Code (SCH-i220) is MetroPCS’s first Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, which seems like a step backward seeing as Windows Mobile 6.5 devices are available. However, that shouldn’t detract the customers from getting the messaging-centric device. The Code offers a sleek design, easy-to-use keyboard, and decent performance and call quality. Plus, it costs $100 less…
Photo gallery:Samsung Stunt SCH-r100 Though the Samsung Stunt SCH-r100 may not be anything to write home about, those looking for a simple phone could certainly do worse. To its credit, this basic candy bar phone has Bluetooth and voice commands, but consistent to its class, a camera and music player aren’t part of the Stunt’s…
