Samsung SGH-F700

Introduction:

Last February Samsung presented a few of its new models at the 3GSM congress in Barcelona, one of them being SGH-F700. Today we are going to preview the Vodafone version, called SGH-F700V, which is not much different than the standard model, except for the operator’s menu.




Some of the differences between the phone that we have here and the one that we saw at the exhibition are easily noticed: the new F700 has a bigger display and is larger in size, its QWERTY keypad is arranged in four rows, rather than in three and, unfortunately, the camera is not 5-megapixel as we and all fans would have liked (and saw at the 3GSM), but only 3-megapixel. However, in spite of these changes, the phone is still intended for Internet-hooked users; the two loudspeakers and the 3.5 mm stereo jacks also show for its multimedia options.




Design:

Samsung SGH-F700 is made of very dark-blue shiny plastic, except for the front panel which is black in white stripes. It is side-opening slider and its larger part is taken up by its enormous 3.22-inch broad-angle display with 432 x 240 pixels resolution that shows up to 262 144 colors.




On top are the ON/OFF button and the two connectors that Samsung SGH-F700 is equipped with: a 3.5 mm stereo jack and the universal connector that can be used for charging, connecting to a computer or to accessories. Typically for all Samsung models, the connectors are protected by lids, which have also an aesthetic function and contribute to the phone's overall look.
