Samsung Highlight Ice Review
By admin on March 22nd, 2010
The Samsung Highlight – Ice is a touchscreen mobile phone that uses the TouchWiz user interface, and this makes it easy to customize several options. Some of what you get with the Samsung Highlight cell phone include a 3.2-megapixel camera, as well as access to a 3G network.
The Ice Samsung Highlight resembles a lot of other touchscreen phones on the market; it measures 4.3 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and weighs 3.7 ounces. This phone will feel solid when you hold it in your hand, but it is still compact enough that you can easily slip it into your pocket and take it with you. Nearly the whole front of the phone is taken up with the high-resolution 3-inch screen. Although it would have been nice to have a larger display, viewing pictures on this screen is great.
With the Samsung Highlight Ice you can use either an alphanumeric keypad, or a virtual keyboard to type out text messages. The virtual keyboard makes it very easy to write email and text messages. Some additional features that come with this handset include a phonebook that will hold all of your contacts, plus extended information about each contact. You can also send text and multimedia messages; there is also support for various web based email providers.
The battery life of the Samsung Highlight cell phone is rated for 6.5 hours of talk time and 18.5 days of standby time. The Internet connection you get with the Highlight using 3G is fast; downloading data should take no time at all.
One area that you will find that the Samsung Highlight Ice does excel is in multimedia. The music player supports MP3 files, and sounds fairly good when listening to it. Another plus is that you can easily download music from Amazon’s MP3 store. One more extra you get with this mobile is a built in 3-megapixel camera, which can also record video. Although there is no flash, the photo and video quality is good. In addition, you will also get several demo games; you will have to purchase and download the full versions of these games, but even the demos are great entertainment.
If you want a good multimedia cell phone, the Samsung Highlight Ice can offer you this and much more. The price for this phone is high, unless you get a discount by buying the handset through a contract deal.
The Ice Samsung Highlight is a solidly built phone that has few problems, and it is highly recommended if you can get it at a discount.
