Samsung F300 - The Power of Two

Being two-faced might not be a popular trait, but the launch of Samsung F300 seems to change it all. The handset is an interesting new take on the convergence of a mobile phone and portable music player. While one face (side) of Samsung F300 looks and acts just like a standard phone, the other side is modelled on the lines of the iPod Nano. And all this comes in a good attractive package, to make the Samsung F300 a perfect blend of form and functionalities.

Despite the addition of two screens on either side, the Samsung F300 comes in a slim frame. The edges are round and smooth, and extends a nice feel when held in hands. Also, due to its compact size, single-handed operation becomes quite easy. The phone side of the Samsung F300 features a small keypad and an even smaller screen. But thankfully the keypad is not to cramped, so fast typing is not affected.

But what poses a problem is the small screen. This screen can only show three lines of texts at a time. So, while this satisfies the users for basic functions like SMS reading etc, other things like web browsing, pictures and videos viewing, suffers. The only resort here is that the users then need to flip to the music side of the phone, featuring a comparatively larger screen.

On the music side of the phone, one can access a lot. This includes camera, photos and videos, FM radio, web browser and voice recorder. The main Menu is made of multiple sub-menu, and the navigation is kept hassle free. There are also touch sensitive keys that are highly responsive.
Pictures, music and videos can be transferred between a PC and the phone, through USB. When working on USB, the phone can actually operate in two modes – media transfer mode and PC studio mode. While in the former, one can use Windows Media Player to sync tracks, including music from subscription services such as Napster; in the latter, one can take advantage of the easy-to-use PC software to edit the phone's calendar, transfer videos, manage SMS folders etc.
The Samsung F300 is a tri-band mobile, offering GPRS and EDGE. The talk time is restricted to 2 hours, but if one chooses to use the handset as a music player instead, it will offer a running time of 11 hours.

A nice innovation by Samsung indeed, seems like the Samsung F300 is all set to create ripples.
