TRENDY GADGET

The Samsung Soul SGH-U900 mobile phone just reviewed by RegHardware, and it got score of 70%, so i don’t think it’s a premium phone as it’s been said. Featuring 5 MP camera, the Soul support high-speed HSDPA 3G connectivity and comes with the new ‘Magical Touch’ technology.

Verdict

The Magical Touch touchpad will obviously draw attention, but while it is useful to have changing icons as you switch functions, the control system basics haven’t changed that radically from a conventional navigation pad. It doesn’t revolutionise the way you do stuff, it’s just some functions are better illustrated. While that might appeal to some, it’s not a must-have in our book. Touch sensitivity can also be a love-it-or-hate-it experience too, so we’d advise having a go before you buy. Pitched as a flagship phone, some may expect this premium mobile to pack in Wi-Fi, smartphone functionality or GPS satellite navigation. It doesn’t. But despite a few issues, it’s decently equipped for a mid-tier handset.
