Review of Samsung i620 published October 31, 2007 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Samsung i620 is an extremely small smartphone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard and for people who like small size, it may be the best choice in the area of Windows Mobile smartphones! Samsung however have really come up trumps. The menu system has been edited and the structure reminds me of a dumb-phone. Easy when you need it, but complex when you need to dig a bit deeper and use things like file manager. The jewel in the crown for me is in the ‘Internet Services’ menu. Yes we’ve got Pocket Internet Explorer – and Windows Live is also included (At least in this Samsung ROM), along with some Samsung specific software like an RSS reader and Podcast organiser. The single most useful add-on though – is Opera. Included in the base ROM, fully activated, trial-free. I’ve used it on pocket PCs – but if anything the Smartphone version is better. Far faster than PIE, and far more feature rich. It also supports the scroll wheel – and that coupled with the direction pad makes it nearly as easy to use as a full web browser on a PC – the software and hardware connection really is THAT good. Clearvue document viewers are also installed – and don’t appear to be trialware To read the review, and to see several original photos, click HERE.
