Samsung M7600 BeatDJ
In the past few mobile phone manufactures have managed to dislodge the Sony Ericsson's Walkman range from the top of the pile where music phones are concerned, the only model to come close is the almighty iPhone? Nokia tried and failed with their 5310 XpressMusic handset, as did LG and until recently Samsung didn't quite make it with both the Jet and F400.
However, Samsung have not given up on the music phone market - as the release of their latest handset demonstrates, the new Samsung M7600, aptly named the BeatDJ. The BeatDJ takes the genre of the music phone to an entirely new level; it is the first to incorporate a virtual turntable, but is this enough to steal the title of the 'Ultimate Music Phone,' or is this just another gimmick?

At first glance the Beat DJ looks ...
Advantages: CD Multichanger, acres of space Disadvantages: High tax band, mpg
--Background--
We bought this car as a second car, two years ago. Previously, my wife had had the Daewoo Nexia for over 3 years with very little problems. We knew that Daewoo offered us no thrills but we also liked the smooth ride it gave. In the end we settled on a 51 reg CDX which set up back £4000.

--From the drivers seat--
Road visibility is very good as you are higher up than a normal car. Saying that, I can not see the end of the bonnet from the drivers position. I am 5ft 10 so maybe someone significantly taller would not have a problem. The dashboard certainly ...

Advantages: Good sized screen, changable fascia Disadvantages: Size, Keypad layout, no zoom on camera
I only used the 7600 on O2, so havent actually used it for any 3G video calling.
I found the phone easy to use, the menus make sense, etc.
One thing I had a really hard time with was the keypad layout.
It is probably something you would get used to, but I found myself taking ages to write text messages.
The camera is decent, although the picture quality is nothing special if you blow the size up, and there is no option for digital zoom. The quality of video footage was quite poor.
I also had a problem connecting the phone to my PC using bluetooth.
You can transfer items ok, but when it comes to synchronising the hone, you have to use nokias own software which had real trouble trying to find my phone and connect up to it.
The phone has a lot of features, and I like the big screen, but there are a lot of newer phones that do ...
