Samsung U900 Soul Review
This stylish slider 3G mobile phone comes in an ultra slim casing which has been beautifully designed by Samsung. The Samsung U900 Soul is also known as the Samsung Soul which stands & means the Spirit Of ULtra. The U900 Soul is a member of the popular Samsung Ultra range which includes the Samsung U600 & the Samsung U700. The overall look & design of this stunning handset make it both pleasing on the eye as well as being a smooth phone to use & operate.
The market rivals of Samsung U900 Soul are mostly within the Samsung family. Samsung G600 is kind of the economy package for the budget minded. The G800 is a monster of cameraphone packing optical zoom on top of the other camera goodies. That goes with massive size however and Samsung G800 isn’t really as pocket-friendly as the Soul. Nokia 6500 slide also seems a nice alternative for its 3 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and great metallic body.
Samsung U900 Soul handset is probably the most promoted mobile phone during Mobile World congress in Barcelona. There are huge, building sized posters all around the city and the number of handsets on display is incredible - you actually don’t have to wait in line to check one out.So what is the fuss all about? To tell you the truth, I’m not sure.It’s not that Samsung Soul has some groundbreaking new technology, the interactive touchpad was around since Samsung E950, 5 megapixel camera (no zoom) is becoming standard in the new higher end Samsung phones.
Design
Like I mentioned, the Samsung SGH-U900 is a slider phone with a brush metallic finish which makes it ultra chic. This phone also has a very solid build because it’s a little bit thicker at 12.9 mm, compared with other u-series phones. The screen on the Samsung SGH-U900 measures 2.2 inch and if you’re wondering what the square thingy is below the screen, that’s the touchpad which can give you access to some shortcut buttons.Features of the Samsung U900 include:
• Touchscreen user interface
• 5 megapixel camera with face detection autofocus, image stabilizer and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
• 3G HSPDA 7.2 Mbps
• Video calling
• Music player and FM radio
• Music library navigation, digital power amplifier by ICEpower® technology by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower
• Email
The phone has a 3G HSDPA data connection of 7.2Mb/s, convenient for downloading music quickly. You won’t have to resort to listening your tunes on a tinny speaker either as it includes a digital power amplifier created by Bang & Olufsen.
