Samsung is another mobile phone company that makes phones only and doesn’t sell network or air time. You can purchase Samsung handsets from most suppliers and then choose between pay as you go terms or monthly tariffs. Phones tend to have names like D Series, E Series or X Series, although models change so quickly it’s best to simply look out for all your favourite features.
Like most other manufacturers Samsung takes full advantage of all the latest technologies on offer. Whether your phone is a standard or flip-up type, it can be supplied with Bluetooth compatibility for wireless connectivity and hands free operation when you need it. Many models come with a built-in MP3 player as well, so you can enjoy your favourite tunes without having to carry around a separate music system. Some designs also incorporate stereo sound which greatly enhances your listening experience, and most have an integrated clock with alarm function.
Polyphonic ringtones are available on most Samsung phones, which also come pre-loaded with a selection of games and the facility for sending and receiving emails. Every phone comes with an integrated digital camera and on some models these have as many as 2 mega pixels, quite a powerful camera for a phone. Other features include a photo phonebook and MMS picture messaging, plus the added benefit of being able to add effects to your photos through controls and software on the camera itself.
Samsung handsets can be supplied with an HTML browser so you can surf the web from your phone. These are WAP and GPRS compatible. Other types of phone include the facility for video record, playback, download and stream, all through the phone’s camera lens. These systems also offer a video calling function.
More expensive models may offer 3G compatibility for multimedia news and sports information directly to your phone, and some make use of the latest i-mode technology that hooks your phone into the new mobile internet service. This is a high speed technology that gives you faster downloads from the web for all your music, ringtones, video and wallpapers plus access to your favourite web pages, usually for a monthly fee.
As well as the typical accessories for storing and protecting your phone, you can purchase Bluetooth headsets for hands free communication. Samsung also makes its own Bluetooth-USB Samsung Printer for quick and inexpensive pictures straight from your phone in a matter seconds.
