Conclusion
Samsung
SGH-G800 is the 5 megapixel camera phone in answer to it's competitors. Features wise, this phone supports the latest HSDPA at
7.2Mbps which is the highest available right now. If you are subscribed to HSDPA plans e.g. M1 broadband,
Singtel Mobile broadband, you will be able to use the phone
as a wireless modem with speedy connection of up to 3.6Mbps. As for Starhub
Maxmobile, you should be able to achieve a theoretical speed of a maximum of
7.2Mbps depending on location.
Design wise, Samsung SGH-G800 maintains the traditional look
with a slide up. The phone looks a bit thick, this is understandable due to the
lens cover. The screen is made of reflective material which makes it glaring
under the sun. Instead, a non glare material could be used.
The focus on this phone is the camera features. Yes, it is a
5 megapixel camera phone. With it's auto focus, it takes good pictures
with auto-focus. After looking at some of the shots, we find that the default
auto settings seems to be on the brighter side. So, you might want to consider
using image editing tools to adjust some settings to your liking.
In terms of applications, the built in RSS reader is an
excellent software that I used everyday to get updated with the latest news. The
preinstalled Google Mail and Google Search is another plus. Well, to add on, you
can always download the J2me applications using the web browser or you can
install opera. FM Radio is also on this phone which gives you more entertainment
on the go in addition to the music player for your mp3s.
Overall, the phone is a gem, it takes good pictures and surfs
the net at blazing speeds. If you are going for HSDPA for mobile computing, this
is definitely a good phone to consider despite it's slightly oversized for my
personal liking.
