Samsung Galaxy Smartphone
We have examined a few reviews and we summarize below some important point.
What is a Smartphone?
According to Wikipedia "A smartphone is a high-end mobile phone that combines the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone. Today's models typically also serve as portable media players and camera phones with high-resolution touchscreens, web browsers that can access and properly display standard web pages rather than only mobile-optimized sites, GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and mobile broadband access. The term smartphone is usually used to describe phones with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone,"
The Samsung Galaxy Smartphone GT I5500
The Samsung Galaxy Smartphone Europa GT-i5500 is a good example of smartphone that looks pretty unassuming and relatively cheap, but runs a powerful OS like Android 2.1 and offers better connectivity than most mobiles in its price range.
It is a robust phone measuring 56 by 108 by 12.3 mm, it's reasonably slender, though at 102g it has a pleasing amount of weight to it. The build quality seems sturdy enough.
On the GT I5500 face, you'll find a five-way navigation key and the control buttons such as, 'call' and 'call end' buttons, around the edges, you'll find mechanical volume keys, a covered mini-USB port for hooking the Europa up to a PC, and a 3.5mm socket on top of the phone, where your headphones plug in.
The 2.8-inch panel is not bad. It has a resolution of 240x320 pixels, which isn't great, and you'll have to zoom in to make out text on Web pages. On the plus side, it's quite bright and colours are rendered vividly. The e touchscreen allows for precise and sensitive command over the mobile's interface and generally contributes to the enjoyment of using this phone.
The Android OS is at version 2.1 (not the latest 2.2) and is a pretty simplistic but surprisingly powerful system. You'll get five home screens, which you can scroll between with a swipe of your finger. These are populated with widgets, or shortcuts to apps you frequently use. All entirely customisable, you can drag-and-drop these widgets around to your heart's content.
