Samsung Armani

I was dubious about getting this phone, however as it was time for my upgrade on my contract, and I liked none of the other phones, I decided to go for this one.

The touch screen is the main attraction but it can also be the main reason that people don't like this phone. The touch screen takes about half an hour to get used to, but once how to touch it, and how long for, is mastered its a pleasant phone to use.

Its design was the result of Samsungs collaboration with Giorgio Armani, and that does not go unnoticed with GIORGIO ARMANI blazoned beneath the 2.6 Inch screen; however this doesn't detract from its appeal. It measures 87.5 x 54.5 x 10.5 mm which conveniently slips into a pocket (I often have to physically feel for it to make sure its there, its so light and slim line!)

It comes with a cleaning cloth similar to that of glasses (to clean fingerprints off the screen), a velvety cloth case and a snap on flip hard case (however I find that the hard case can sometimes make it too bulky, but it does protect the screen from scratches and marks).

It has many features, too many to discuss here, so I'll mention my favourite. I like the option to display either the time or the calendar on the main screen and the ability to switch between the two with a gentle sweep across the screen - perhaps not the most important thing to mention but my favourite none the less! It doesn't however have any games pre installed, not even one.

It comes in black, the casing made of a metal which is handy when dropped although it isn't resistant to a dent or two unfortunately.

• It has a 3 megapixel camera with options to edit images in the expected ways.
• Mp3 Player built in
• Bluetooth
• Memory card
• Web n walk

In summary I don't regret choosing this phone, and it serves all my needs in a phone; however I can't help but think this was designed with a specific target in mind, and that wasn't a university student! It seems to be aimed at the fashion conscious suited and booted gentleman/lady, a second phone for the business man perhaps.

Overall a good phone that feels and looks expensive and will attract looks wherever it's on display so be wary of envy and increased risk of being a victim of crime.
