Samsung Intrepid Review

The Samsung Intrepid is Sprint’s first smartphone to run Windows Mobile 6.5 — for an improved Internet Explore Mobile browser with Flash support, new “MyPhone” backup service and access to applications and games through Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

The handset comes with a touch screen display, QWERTY keypad, games, a music and video player, and a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder. There’s even “TellMe” technology for voice-activated commands.

The Intrepid has a few drawbacks. Its 2.5-inch screen isn’t too big or bright and the keypad doesn’t leave room between keys. The volume isn’t that loud and a new browser and more storage couldn’t hurt.

Regardless, there’s a lot to see. The Intrepid may have kinks to work out but Windows Mobile fans will like that they can seamlessly connect their computer life into their mobile life.

Design

The Intrepid’s professional, lightweight design is a bit wide for the average hand, but amazingly thin — at least compared to many BlackBerry smartphones.

It has an average-sized 2.5-inch touch screen display that isn’t very bright. As a result, the extra-reflective screen is difficult to use at night.

The feels even lighter thanks to the slick back cover. The back of the phone has the lens of a 3.2-megapixel camera, a small self-portrait mirror and an external speaker.

The front of the Intrepid has a menu bar with navigation keys that activate Windows Mobile. They QWERTY keypad’s average-sized buttons are raised, but have no space between them, so typing can result in some thumb crowding. They keys are also backlit for noctural texting.

The left side of the phone has volume keys and a USB/charger outlet. The right side has a power on key, a reset slot, camera activation key and stylus operation key.

Overall, the thin and light Intrepid is well designed. However the dull, reflective display makes nighttime use difficult.

Out of the box, the Samsung Intrepid comes with a standard lithium-ion battery, AC phone charger, SIM card, 3.5mm stereo headset and microphone, USB sync cable, basics guide and an email set-up guide

Samsung Captivate Review

Android is quickly becoming a household name. Each month, a new smartphone running Google’s operating system is released to the market.

After dominating the handset market, Samsung fell behind to Apple. But now the South Korean electronics giant is making a coordinated push by introducing its Galaxy S line of Android smartphones on all four major U.S. carriers. In addition to the Captivate for AT&T, Samsung is launching the Vibrant for T-Mobile, Facsimile for Verizon and Epic 4G for Sprint.

The company hopes the Captivate’s large 4.0-inch touch screen sets it apart from the standard pack of iPhone challengers. It also comes with a built-in 5.0-megapixel camera with high-definition video recording and 16-gigabytes of storage capacity.

With a focus on features and functions, the Captivate promises to be a strong contender in the smartphone race.

Design

The Captivate is bland. The plastic exterior is reminiscent of a solid black slate, lacking the fashion statement of the iPhone 4′s sleek glass-paneled exterior. But it does have a simple and clean look. Although not necessarily flimsy, the handset as a whole felt rather “cheap.”

The highlight is its gigantic 4.0-inch touch screen, capable of displaying a 480 by 800 pixel resolution. Samsung is pioneering “Super-AMOLED” display technology, which boasts more vibrant colors with less battery drain. And the Captivate’s screen is definitely top notch.

Below the display, are four standard touch-sensitive shortcut keys: menu, home, back and search. The placement — almost flush to the bottom edge of the handset — is a bit questionable because they’re often pressed accidentally.

The back side features a 5.0-megapixel camera. Missing, however, is an LED flash, which is a little strange, but the lens makes up for in giving us a HD recording.

Power and volume controls and a 3.5mm headphone jack are located around the edge of the handset. The decision to put the USB port at the top takes a little getting used to.

For its large frame, the Captivate is actually very light. And it feels rather odd in hand. Although it has solid features and hardware, the it falls just short of the “wow factor” needed to draw the style conscious. Unlike the accents of its Galaxy S siblings — like the metal band surrounding the Vibrant’s casing — the Captivate is defiantly bland.

Out of the box, the Samsung Captivate comes with a USB wall charger, a micro-USB cable and a in-ear stereo headset.
