Samsung never falls short of ideas to deliver its best every time. This time, it’s the latest U700, an HSDPA slider phone, which is running the trend of modish handsets. The elegant mobile phone has got a resemblance of LG’s Shine model, but the unlike part is, its reflective surface distorts your face when looked at from different angles. Though it looks metallic, the feel of U700 is actually plastic and in fact, it is not as solid as the Shine.

 

Certainly, the plus as regards plastic creation is that the handset weighs just 85 grams. Amidst measurements of 102.5 x 50 x 12.1 mm, the U700 is meant to be adored for its 12 millimeters thickness. On its left side bottom, look for the volume key and sockets for charging, USB connection and a headset, while camera shortcut and a microSD slot are placed on the right. Besides the 240 x 320-pixel display on its front, get your fingers onto touch-sensitive keys and the scroll wheel.

 

Simply navigate the menus by rotating the wheel or press its sides to move, various options would flash before you. Whether you want to select an item or unlock the touch-sensitive buttons during a call, the centre key would help you at any cost. Amongst the U700's features, the pretty good 3.2-megapixel camera assures less blurs, and fast image capture due to its ‘Rapid Focus’ technology. One more expedient feature is the Google menu icon that provides easy access to the loud search engine.

Samsung has also up kept the musical note, using media player in a way to offer good sound quality while reducing energy consumption. Moreover, with A2DP Bluetooth, you can soothe your ears without using wires. Its flat keypad has got big buttons, but it’s difficult to differentiate various buttons without looking at them, making the U 700 complicated for texting. While using the keypad, the touch buttons get unlocked automatically. To conclude, the U700 is shiny, feather-weight, and overall looks great; nevertheless, it has got nothing extraordinary to set it apart from other slide-up handsets.
