Bonus image, Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC One X, and Samsung Galaxy S side by side:

Samsung Galaxy S2 is a very popular smart phone, reason being it's wonderful predecessor Samsung Galaxy S.

A friend recently bought HTC One-X, it's got Android 4.x and I really like the looks of the phone.

Let's hope Samsung Galaxy S 3 will maintain the legacy of Galaxy S family and bring us another wonderful device.

I'm so delighted to see that the chrome is back on Galaxy s3...

The pebble blue looks much more appealing to me instead of the marble white, I guess that's for people people with different taste buds...

Samsung Galaxy S smart phone(known as T-Mobile Vibrant) has established a repute based on its wonder Super AMOLED display, Galaxy S Wi-fi builds on top of that repute. We know that Galaxy S has got a display far superior than iPhone 4, iPod touch, and iPhone 3Gs.

Personal Review of Samsung Vibrant T959 And Specifications

Samsung Vibrant is an Android based Smart Phone from Samsung, it is a Galaxy S series phone. Samsung Vibrant was bought up as an iPhone competition in 2010, although iPhone 4 is clearly a winner over Samsung Vibrant.
Note: T-Mobile is now offering Samsung Galaxy S 4G, an upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy S

Last month my cousin came back home for a vacation, he bought me a Samsung Vibrant also known as Samsung T 959. Before proceeding with the writing, I want you to know that I am so in love with this Android based smart phone. Samsung Vibrant is also known as Samsung Galaxy S, which is also written on the back flip of the set. Inside the package you'll get two back colors, my cousin got one black and one burgundy right now I have burgundy on.

Buy Samsung Vibrant Unlocked!!!

Samsung Vibrant is without a doubt comparable to Apple iPhone 4, although Apple iPhone4 wins the competition.
A Galaxy S Phone running on Android 2.2(what? you thought bio-gas?)
When it first came in my hand, it ran Android 2.1 but later on Samsung issued update to Android 2.2 Froyo which I installed. Android Froyo has got a few UI improvements, but the biggest change I noticed is battery. Previously my precious Galaxy Smartphone hardly survived 4 hours of active usage after a full recharge, but after installing Android Froyo it's battery life is more than doubled. The Android app store is definitely strong rival to Apple's much established iTues based App Store which sells mobile applications to iPhone and iPad users.

The Android 2.2 OS on my Samsung Vibrant runs very smoothly, the performance is not quirky the way it was with BlackBerry storm in early days.
Email and Calendar

Powered by the latest Android platform, this Samsung Vibrant is a smart phone fully integrated with Google Mobile Services. You're now at one with your Gmail account, Google Maps, YouTube videos and more. Emails are a breeze You create an event in your calendar, and as soon as the Vibrant gets connected to Wifi/3G data network it will save everything online, so that where ever you have Google stuff configured, you can access all your calendar.
Samsung Vibrant was released by TMobile on its networks in August 2010, and after almost 9 months it still is a highly regarded phone in the market.
Look and feel, touch, Display, Camera:

Samsung Vibrant has got a very slim design, and its a pure pleasure in your hands. Also the good thing is its capacitive touch, which gives it a clear edge over Nokia phones with resistive touch.
More over, the display is awesome and crisp. Although its not as good as compared Windows Pone 7 based HTC HD 7 which I recently got my hands on. HD 7 has an awesome high resolution display(4.3"), it's got a camera as well but the picture quality is no where closer to Samsung Vibrant. I think if samsung had put a flash Samsung Vibrant this Galaxy S phone would have been too awesome. Adding a front facing camera would definitely double the delight.
Samsung Galaxy S2:
Yes you read it right, there's a new version almost done and it will hit the markets within months of this publication. Samsung has already previewed the thing on many forums. It's gonna be a dual core beast, along with some new Samsung software called Samsung Hubs which is a trick on Korean Samsung's behalf to leave Taiwanese HTC behind. My experience with Samsung Vibrant has been very good, another friend of mine bought an HTC Desire phone but something went wrong with the gadget's hardware. End of the day my friend sold only the display in 15000 rupees which is roughly $190.

Next question will be Samsung Vibrant price in Pakistan and India?
Well, I took my Samsung Vibrant for sale last week to Hafeez Center, and I got an offer of 25000 rupees. A few people were selling new Samsung Vibrant on hafeezcenter.pk for price around 44000 rupees. My cousin bought new Samsung Vibrant for a price of $499 from TMobile last year, shortly after the release.
And I just checked out T-Mobile is still selling Samsung Vibrant T959 for $499. Amazing, truly amazing stuff this gadget has survived so many months on ever rapid mobile electronics means it has got the guts.
We still have a lot of ordinary mobile phones(Nokia 1210) around in Pakistan, I think that will not change any soon because people don't know how to make the most of these beasts therefore they keep comparing state of the art machines like Samsung Vibrant with cheap Chinese replicas.

Nokia C3-00, and Samsung Corby Line Up The Mid Range Hot Shots

My Personal Nokia C3-00 Review

This post is a personal Nokia C3 00 review, I've used Nokia C3-00 myself. Looks like Nokia has identified the market need correctly. And it has come up with an economic hand set, Nokia C3-00. This phone gets you very close to a smart phone, in half the price of popular iPhone/Windows Phone 7/Android gadgets. Still there are many good Nokia C3-00 apps out there, and Nokia C3-00 wifi capability is nice. Although Noki C3-00 wifi is not as strong as the wifi in a lap top, but still people after all Nokia C3 00 is an entry level fone(you can gift Nokia C3 to your papa easily). And there are many many Nokia C3-00 free themes also available.

Buy Nokia C3-00 Unlocked

The Good:

Wifi: The coolest thing is Nokia C3-00 wifi capability is awesome, and by awesome I mean "literally awesome". I bought a Nokia C3 00 just because I knew the Nokia C3-00 wifi is solid.

Nokia OVi Suite and store connectivity: Every thing in Nokia C3-00 can be synchronized with a PC using Nokia's free OVi Suite application. It is also possible to back up your contacts, photos, music, and even phone state using OVi Suite. You can send/read received messages from OVi Suite as well.

Then comes in the OVi App store, which is a nice app store though nothing comparable to Apple's App store. You'll find many good games and productivity software for free. OVi suite works good just because of the solid Nokia C3-00 wifi capability, you can easily download Nokia c3-00 apps over Nokia c3-00 wifi. It is also possible to do Nokia C3-00 update using Nokia C3-00 wifi. Anyways, I keep downloading Nokia C3-00 themes over Nokia C3-00 wifi ;)

Built in messenger software: lets you log-on to MsN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, and Nokia OVi chat. Good thing, this messenger can be minimized and you can continue fiddling with music or photos after it gets online.

Mail Client: An application which has built in support for Hotmail(Windows Live Mail, Yahoo Mail, GMail, and Nokia OVi Mail).

There's a build in application for facebook and twitter as well, but at least on my C3-00 its not working. I am using Snaptu (free)for checking out Facebook and Twitter. This application works well on Wifi and EDGE/GPRS connections.

The Bad:
The phone often crashes when you try to forward MP4 files.
Not all MP4 files are supported, the picture disappears for some files.
2 mega pixel camera is totally crap.
When you're typing a long tweet or facebook status update, or in my case even blog draft :p and there's music playing in the background the phone becomes dead slow, letters appear slowly on screen while you type.
I tried to perform Nokia c3-00 update many times but it failed. I currently have version 4 of the OS.

Samsung Corby:


Buy Samsung CorbyPro


Earlier this year(2010) Samsung introduced its amazing line up of budget "Almost Smart Phones" called Samsung Corby. Corby line up included Corby TXT, Corby, and Corby Pro. All the Corbies had 2.0 megapixel camera. And there were Wi-Fi capable versions as well. A Corby Txt is pictured below, this one seems to be closest competitor of Nokia C3-00

Corby Pro was all about touch touch. I think Samsung wanted to steal some of iPhone lovers. Or lure in people who got iPhone on their wish list, but don't have enough bucks to buy one.

Samsung Pro sports a nice slide out keypad as well, an attempt to bring in high end Nokia phones look and feel, I think.

 

But I think Nokia's OVi store has played an important role in success of Nokia C3-00. Because OVi store contains a whole lot of applications, which can be easily downloaded for free or maybe purchased.

Nokia C3-00 Wish List:

Before specs I think a wish list is much more important, cause you'll find specs on many other sites as well.

• A browser app which could be minimized just like Messenger, and Media Player. In fact, the capability to hide any running application and move out to other applications. The number of concurrent user applications can be limited.
• S60 like home key, which would make switching between applications much easier.
• Pop up alerts about new call and SMS on PC when a C3-00 is connected to PC via OVi suite.
• An easily customizable  grid/list view background
• A Blackberry style scroll wheel.
