Compare Samsung Armani Deals
Be it the arts, politics or the sciences, there is always the likelihood that, sooner or later - by accident or intent - form will take precedent over content. So when Samsung links up with Italian fashion icon Georgio Armani to produce a mobile phone, we have to assess what is on offer behind the beautiful exterior design - our guess is that you will not be disappointed.
The jet black Samsung Armani's dimensions of 87.5 x 54.5 x 10.5 mm reveal a mega-slim device weighing only 85g - a triband phone providing global connectivity, GPRS and EDGE technology for fast Web access and integral Bluetooth for wireless data sharing with compatible devices (such as a laptop). The main touchscreen display is large (2.6 inches diagonal; 240 x 320 pixels). In fact, what lies behind the exclusive look is the technology of the Samsung P520, but everything is branded Armani - from the stereo headset to the use guide.
There is a 3.2 megapixel camera (maximum 2048 x 1536 pixels) for high-quality still pictures and video, an MP3 player and 60 MB embedded memory with a microSD card slot for additional storage. The phonebook can store 1,000 entries and call records include the last 30 dialled, 30 received and 30 missed calls. There are no infrared or WLAN facilities and 3G support would have been nice, but the Samsung Armani has full SSM, MMS and email capabilities and offers a host of accessory features including memo voice recording, office documents viewer and vibrating haptic response..
Undeniably stylish with its compared "credit card" form factor, this is an eye-catching phone with impressive functionality. Battery life is rated at up to 220 hours on standby and up to six hours talk time.
