Samsung G800: Compare prices

By Joseph Hanlon on 26/05/2008

More Samsung reviews , RRP: AU$799.00

The good:

  • HSDPA data speeds
  • Great colour display
  • Good battery life
  • 2GB microSD card included

The bad:

  • Chunky, oversized handset
  • Underwhelming photo quality

The bottomline:

Perhaps our hopes were too high, but then, the bulky frame of the G800 makes promises of quality that just aren't evident in the photos it takes. It's definitely a step above the average camera phone, but several notches below other more consistently performing 5-megapixel shooters.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

      Nokia N85

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

    • LG KF390

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

      Nokia E66

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.

      Seeing or using the i560 is hardly a pulse-racing experience. People looking for a solid phone with navigation will find what they are looking for in the i560. Fashionistas should look elsewhere.
