Well what do we have here, a uniquely designed mobile phone considered to be a pure music gadget by Samsung. It's called the Samsung M7600 Beat DJ and has really been designed to stand out from the other dedicated music phones on the market, like the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic and the Sony Ericsson W395 mobile phones. The music abilities and technologies are going to set very high standards for music phones. When it comes to the design of the Beat DJ the dimensions are 112mm x 51mm x 13.9mm which may sound large but that's due to the handsets curved rounded top and bottom which gives it the unique style. It is a neatly compact pocket friendly mobile phone with a touch user interface comprising a 2.8 inch OLED display screen displaying up to 16 million colours with screen resolutions of 240 x 400 pixels which dominates the front of the handset with a fantastic weight of 99.7g. Lets not forget to mention the Accelerometer sensor technology that is featured. There is a semi-circular touch panel control which predominantly used to control and manage the music applications. The Beat DJ features the TouchWiz user interface which is very colourful, vibrant and lively much like the Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra. Now Samsung have added a Disc UI to the M7600 Beat DJ you would be under the impression you were using a Jukebox machine, this is what sets the Beat DJ apart from other music based mobile phones.

Samsung M7600 Beat DJ – Music Entertainment

Now we will get down to the superb music technologies and capabilities that have been especially designed for the Samsung M7600 Beat DJ mobile phone. The user can enjoy Bang Olufsen and ICEP power amplifier which is very energy efficient and with the 5.1 virtual surround sound on-off control the user can mange the manage the sound control with ease. Obviously there are other applications we would expect from the Beat DJ which include shuffle, repeat, fast-forward and rewind so you can be in total control over how you listen to your music. There is a Find Music application which is part of the music entertainment centre similar to the of Sony's Track ID service. With the other Samsung music phones from the Beat range which include the Samsung M3510 Beat and the Samsung M3200 Beat s, the Beat DJ provides more enhanced music capabilities with fantastic touch-sensitive controls with a superb music mixer technology taking a music mobile phone to whole new level. The reason the word “DJ” is part of the Samsung M7600 name is that the handset allows the user mix and scratch their music in the same way a DJ would on the virtual vinyl image that is on the touch display screen. The mixer controls include REC, Filters, Scratch and samples. To explain the REC starts recording the adjustments the has user has made to the music – Scratch enables the user to spin the virtual vinyl to add the scratches. There are 10 Filters enabling the user to adjust and tweak the music to name a few echo, looping and tempo change. Just to add only two filters can be used at any one time. For the Samples Library there are 20 pre-installed which enables the user to add other sounds while a track is actually playing. The touch scroll wheel allows for scrolling between the samples and filters providing an amazing interactive mobile music experience. What a fantastic and fun element to feature on a phone to have your mixing deck along with all the other superb music features in your pocket. The user can choose from a selection of Polyphonic, MP3 and WAV ring-tones or the user can simply download their favourite tune and add it as a ring-tone. There is only only 50 mega-bytes of internal memory on the Beat DJ mobile phone, but not to worry this can be increased with a MicroSD™ TransFlash with up to a massive 16 gigabytes which will provide a huge amount of storage space for all the users music files and downloads.

The user-interface for the camera function is very manageable and comfortable which is great for a touch screen phone. Recording your video footage is fun and easy to use and again the Beat DJ produces fantastic quality images with up to 15/20 frames per second of VGA resolutions. The video formats include DivX, XviD, WMV and MP4. Even though the camera is a 3 mega-pixel feature the results we feel are impressive.
