Smartphone Samsung SGH-i710

Short description:

The Samsung SGH-i710 is a business-class smartphone. Quite naturally - the manufacturer himself characterizes it as a `Mobile Office`. To work with business and office documents, the smartphone uses a number of programs that allow not only viewing, but also editing files. In addition, support software allows you to quickly and easily perform everyday business tasks.

Technical features:

The body of the smartphone is made in the usual, almost classic style for Samsung models - it looks a bit like the company's usual sliders. Material - black plastic with `metal` inserts, which are actually also made of plastic. Nevertheless, the design of the smartphone fully corresponds to the `business class` label, and the absence of metal allows you to save weight - only 109 grams, quite a bit for a progressive office model. Only the navigation block is made of metal - it fits perfectly into the overall ensemble.
The screen of the i710 is quite large - 2.8", it takes up most of the front panel. The resolution of 240x320 pixels is supported, up to 256,000 colours are displayed - this is quite consistent with the characteristics of most modern high-end models. Naturally, the touch screen. At the top of the phone there is a hole for storing the stylus. The stylus itself is telescopic and comes with the smartphone. However, you can use a regular finger.
All significant GSM standards are supported - GSM 850/900/1800/1900. 3G standards are not supported, but this is unlikely to be of particular concern to owners living outside of Western Europe and the United States - mobile operators are not yet ready for video conferencing.
Permanent phone memory - 55 MB. For work with office applications, this is quite enough. Those who wish to deal with media content (video, MP3) can use microSD cards.
GPRS (class 10)/EDGE is used to access the Internet. The smartphone can connect to the Internet both offline and as a wireless modem for a PC/laptop. For some reason, Wi-Fi and IrDa for various connections at `near` distances are absent, there is only Bluetooth 2.0.

Camera:

Phone camera resolution - 1.92 megapixels (1600x1200). The camera does not have a flash as such, but there is an incredibly useful plastic mirror - for self-portraits. However, to some extent, the bitterness from the lack of a flash can be offset by the presence of an autofocus camera.
Optionally, you can use single shooting, burst shooting or night shooting modes. Additionally, you can adjust the settings for applying `white balance` - in daylight, on a cloudy day, under a fluorescent lamp. You can apply simple effects like `sepia`, `water`, etc. to finished pictures. In general, the quality of the pictures is quite high for a 2-megapixel camera.
The maximum resolution of photographs is 1600x1200, the minimum is 320x240. With the same resolution (320x240) you can shoot video clips of satisfactory quality.

Office and media applications:

The smartphone runs on Windows Mobile 5.0. The system is quite comfortable for work, but it is not the latest, which, however, does not prevent it from functioning stably.
In addition to utility and auxiliary programs like an alarm clock and a converter of measures, weights and currencies, it is possible to edit office documents - MS Word, Excel, etc.
To play files, you can use both a full-fledged Windows Media Player, and the so-called. Miniplayer, displayed as a small panel on the screen. The Samsung SGH-i710 reproduces music quite cleanly, and when working with video files, delays are almost imperceptible. Unfortunately, the smartphone does not support connecting headphones with a standard universal connector. To listen to music, you must use Samsung's own headsets.
