Samsung Ch@t B3410W review

As the name suggests, the Samsung Ch@t B3410W is a dedicated mobile phone for messaging. Therefore, Samsung has integrated SNS applications for all social networks like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc. in the phone. It is aimed at the medium range of the mobile phone users that can take the advantage of dual benefits of touch screen interface and QWERTY keyboard. In fact, a wide range of mobile phones are getting introduced that includes both touch screen and QWERTY functionalities. Some good examples would be Sony Ericsson Vivaz PRO and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini PRO. It is a slide sliding device and the keyboard is displayed when the phone is slid open. The keys are placed with good distance from each other, which makes it easy to type on. Some of the major highlights of Samsung Ch@t B3410W include 2.6 inches touch screen display, up to 16 GB of an expandable memory, 960 mAh battery, 2 mega pixel auto focus camera, etc. The mobile phone company recently announced the launch of Ch@t B3410W and its expected release time is not yet disclosed. It is a small and cute model, which should find its place in the market. However, Samsung must maintain a reasonable price tag.

Samsung Ch@t B3410W – the network and connectivity

It is very important to have good network and connectivity features for any mobile phone. Almost all the smart phones that are releasing in the recent times are coming up with the combination of both 2G and 3G connectivity. In this aspect, Samsung Ch@t B3410W takes a back foot. The handset is only 2G supportive as 3G is not included in it. It is a messaging phone with high end applications that support almost all the social networks. The combination of 3G would have made a great difference to the browsing experience of the users. However, it seems than Samsung kept this mobile phone away from 3G for maintaining the affordability factor. Though, 3G is not there, but Wi Fi is a good inclusion indeed. In addition to that, there are Class 10 GPRS and EDGE that provide speed of 32 – 48 kbps and 236.8 kbps respectively. Data transferring is a vital feature that the mobile phone users seek. Samsung Ch@t is equipped with Bluetooth® and USB for transferring data to/from the compatible handsets. Samsung Ch@t B3410W supports the quad band GSM network of 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900.

Samsung Ch@t B3410W Review – the memory

Samsung Ch@t B3410W is a smart phone for the mid range users. It features some really exciting applications and widgets for that proper memory support is essential. If the memory back up is not up to the mark, then the widgets and applications will not have any use for the users. The consumers are expanding their memory feature so that they can enjoy more storage space. Let’s see what the memory features of Samsung Ch@t B3410W are. The mobile phone offers an internal memory of 1 GB/ 2 GB, which can easily maintain the back up of 1000 phone book entries and last 30 call records of dialed, received and missed calls. It is for sure that only internal memory is not enough to meet the requirements of the users and therefore, the handset offers an expandable memory option. By using the microSD™ (TransFlash) card slot, the users can enhance the memory of the mobile phone up to 16 GB. So, the memory option is quite decent in the Samsung Ch@t B3410W.

Samsung Ch@t B3410W – the display

The Samsung Ch@t B3410W looks simple, yet stylish. As the phone is aimed at the mid range of the mobile phone users, the look and the design plays a big part. The users generally look for the attractiveness of a handset and Samsung Ch@t B3410W is quite good looking. The mobile phone is available in black and the entire frontal part is the touch screen display. The speaker of the phone is placed above the touch screen and the logo of Samsung has found its place at the bottom of the screen. Just under, the logo of Samsung, the three major keys are placed. These three keys are call key, end key, and menu key.

When the phone is slid horizontally towards the right, the QWERTY keyboard appears. The users can type quite fast in the keyboard and see the result on the 2.6 inches screen. The touch features are also good as the handset runs TouchWiz UI 2.0 on its TFT touch screen. The display offers 256,000 colours and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The overall dimension of the phone is 103 x 52.5 x 16.2 mm and its weight is 113.7 grams. Therefore, it is clear that the mobile phone is slim and quite easy to carry.

Samsung Ch@t Review – the camera

It is very vital that the mobile phone comes with a good camera feature so that the users can click some amazing snaps and upload them on their favorite social networks. Apart from that, good camera is always preferred by the users because they don’t need to carry two separate devices all the time, whenever they are going out. In this aspect, Samsung Ch@t B3410W disappoints as it only features a 2 mega pixel camera, with 1600 x 1200 pixels resolution. Though, there are some good features of the snapper such as auto focus, Samsung could have integrated a better camera. Video recording is done at QVGA@13fps with the camera.

Other important specifications of the mobile phone are Stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3/WAV/eAAC+/WMA player, MP4/H.263/H.264 player, downloadable games, Google Search, etc. Overall, it is a decent phone with decent features according to its affordable price.
