First Look: Samsung U900T, adapt to touch

Price at time of review.
It seems every phone these days is marked as a ‘touch’ responsive handset, but few live up to the hype. The U900 packs its fair share of features, works well and ultimately does the job.
Available Plans:
14 Samsung U900 plans ranging from $19 to $250

"Bright slimline mobile"

Pros:
Great screen, number pad very easy to see even in bright sunlight. Fantastic sound quality but a pity about the headphone jack not being a standard fitting.

Cons:
The manual would have to be one of the worst around. It does not go into enough basic information and there is not even a list of how to access the features on the phone. Just try to find out how to set an audible message alert! There is not any other manual available for download either.Predictive text does not offer word suggestions which my old Motorola did.
The phone was pretty easy to use straight out of the box. Constant lock on the keypad is a great feature to ensure no unintentional calls are made when the phone is in your pocket.

 $849RRP?

The website says $699RRP for the U900, and you can get them for under $500.

 I recommend the Samsung Omnia, which I am looking forward to getting one hopefully in September via 3. Otherwise wait for the HTC Touch Diamond "PRO" which is the next version up that has better battery life and a mini SD Slot.

 It certainly looks slick but for me I think the i900 will steal alot of its sales. Which doesn't make sense since its a Samsung Phone too

 Well, like many it looks fine, but will it solve my problem of spurious text messages like a flip phone will. My Nokia lives in my pocket and sometimes if the keypad isn't locked sends up to 5 garbage text messages to the first person in my phonebook.
The obvious "Lock the damn keypad" obviously isn't foolproof, because it keeps happening.
Slick is nice, bells and whistles ok; but it's products that solve problems that rule!

Anything with an "i" at the start has an instant market thanks to the subliminal messages in all those tracks you download from iTunes.;)

 That would explain how Will Smith made any money from iRobot (hehe) cause it sure as hell wasn't the acting!

A real do-it-all device, but Nokia needs to do better to compete with the iPhone.

Navman or TomTom? We tested the best selling units in a head to head battle to see which would get us home faster and with less hassle.

Far Cry 2 the review - unflinchingly brutal

Far Cry 2 the review - unflinchingly brutal

Average User Rating 3

Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict in a war-torn African nation.
