Today Samsung and U.S. Cellular announced a new gimmick for the aircraft carrier, the Freeform. A sleek, candy-prevention shaped, texting motorcar that’s quite easy on the eyes.

The slim design makes it very pocketable, piece distillery maintaining a decent sized full QWERTY keyboard. The spectacles of the gimmick ar dismal, but it shouldn’t be an issuing, as the device is mainly for electronic messaging. While I’ve always been partial to a rowing of numbers pool atop of a keyboard, this one makes do without one just fine. The keys rich person some goodness quad in between each other devising the heaviest of texters happy.

The Freeform keeps it minimal, and to the point which is what makes the device so attractive. It packs a 2.2″ exhibit,1.3 MP photographic camera, stereo system bluetooth, threaded textual matter electronic messaging, medicine role player, and has expandable memory up to 16GB.

Expected soon 18th February 2010

A WiFi-enabled update of the existing B3410 Corby Plus, the Samsung Ch@t B3410W is yet another phone aimed at users of social networking sites, in an affordable package that should appeal to younger customers.

The Samsung Ch@t comes with a 2.6" 240 x 320 pel touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY computer keyboard, 2 megapixel photographic camera, microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. This is a GSM-only device, but the cellular inclusion of wireless local area network should partly compensate for this.

Social networking documentation includes Facebook, Flickr, MySpace and others, and usefully the Ch@t’s built-in WiFi way that these sites can be accessed without incurring information charges.

It does seem that every earpiece these days has documentation for FaceTube and MyTwit or whatever they’re called, and the Ch@t doesn’t really stand out from the crowd. wireless local area network is goodness, but the Ch@t lacks 3G support. The QVGA solving showing might be OK for social networking sites, but it’s not much use for web surfboarding, and two megapixel cameras ar frankly out of date. Samsung’s TouchWiz interface is pretty good, and their handsets tend to be well built.. but even so it is difficult to get excited about it.

Samsung say that the B3410W does come with a useful quantity of internal memory, either 1GB or 2GB depending on stipulation. It also takes microSD cards up to an additional 16GB.

The B3410W Ch@t is likely to sell on price rather than features, the non-WiFi version tin can be had for about Ђ150 in the retail distribution channel SIM-free people, so we would expect this version to be available for a street cost of less than Ђ200.

It’s probably worth considering if you just can’t tear yourself away from Facebook, but unless you ar on a really tight budget then we would suggest that there ar many other wagerer handsets available.
