2008-02-21 20:27:46

This is a new, inovative, Samsung mobile phone, with dual face concept. On one side it looks like a mobile phone, and on the other it looks like an MP3 player.

Samsung F300

It has the dimensions of 103.5x44x9.4 mm and it weights 78g.The design in whole is excellent. The phone is light, thin, black with silver lines on the side.

On the phone side it has a small screen with 176x65 pixel resolution and it shows 262 thousand colors. A quality screen that shows two rows of text, or two menu items at the same time and which works excellently. The pictures and text look very sharp and bright, and it behaves excellently in daylight.

On the MP3 side, this phone has an excellent TFT screen with 176x220 pixel resolution which shows  262 thousand colors.

Besides two screens, the phone has two keyboards also. The one on the phone side is a standard numeric keyboard with keys for navigation in four directions, and an OK button in the middle. The one on the MP3 side, contains keys for managing the player.

The key on the side of the phone is used for changing the mode of the phone. This device is very thin and it has keys for keyboard locking, volume control and slots for earphones, charger, microSD and SIM card on the side...

Samsung F300 F300 has a very good MP3 player with MP3, AAC, AAC+, e-AAC+ and WMA support. The sound is loud and clear, and the earphones that come with the phone are also very good.

The device has 128MB of internal memory which can be expanded by microSD memory cards. The phone has an FM radio, dictaphone and a camera.

The camera has 2 megapixel resolution and it can record photographs up to maximal resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. It doesn't have a flashlight. The phone supports data transfers in GPRS and EDGE networks.

The phone has Bluetooth 2.0 version and it can be connected to the computer using a USB cabel.

The sound quality during the calls is excellent and some of the applications on the phone are: world time, stopwatch, alarm, countdown, notes, calendar, phonebook...

The phone comes with an extra battery which is packed in a leather etui.It has a rich packet that comes along with the phone.

It contains an installation CD that contains the software for synchronising the phone with the computer, a cover  with an extra battery, USB cabel, charger, earphones, adapter, and a memory card with 1GB of capacity.

Compliments go to the extra battery and memory part. This model has great music possibilities, and surely it will demand a lot of memory for storing songs, and a stronger battery for longer usage.
