This is my first Samsung mobile phone after being a die hard follower of Sony Ericsson phones for years now. I decided that it was time for a change and also a change of the contract that I was on. There is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice to move on to Samsung phones and the M8800 Pixon in particular. Although it does posses some annoying little perks, it is an outstanding phone none the less.

Below i have listed some of the main functions of the Samsung Pixon along with some descriptions for those of us who are a little bit behind with technology!

Quad Band
(Compatible with other mobile networks.)
o Dual-band will work in most of Europe.
o Tri-band should work in much of the USA as well
o Quad-band is compatible internationally

MMS
(Otherwise known as picture messaging - sending of photos, short videos)

USB connection
(Standard port for connecting to a computer)

It also has all of the functions of a normal handset and also that of a Smartphone. Being a smartphone the Pixon is, well, smarter than most other phones. It lets you take on tasks such as e-mail, a diary, the internet, a large memory and a wealth of other programs.
The size of the actual touch screen area is 3.2 inches and I have found that the sensitivity of the screen is very responsive. Sometimes it lags, sometimes it is too responsive. It really varies on what tasks you are asking it to undertake. I have found that it really slows down quite a lot when you are sending a text and get to about the 4th or 5th page of a text. Now normally no one in their right mind would reach such a lengthy text, but on the odd occasion I have found myself doing so (scary eh??). But why on earth any one would need the maximum amount of pages allowed of 15 i do ask myself sometimes. But remember, if you do reach this, your entering the realms of Matrix slow motion. In other words, IT SLOWS THE HELL DOWN.

Another thing I should probably mention is that the battery life of this phone is not particularly good. It's not terrible, but it's something to take in to account. When your on the phone talking to someone, the battery runs low pretty quickly. I mentioned the talk time length above and it's nothing special to write home about. Then again it's not as low as some power hungry phones on the market. Therefore I wouldn't say it's that much of a worry especially if you remember to charge it every night or so. It does also give you a very handy beep if your on the phone and the battery begins to run low. Which is good and bad. Good because it alerts you that it needs charging (obviously) and bad because it really scares when it happens due to how loud it is!! (Not so obvious)
