What You Need To Know

• It feels kind of plastic-y, but it has a uniform design.
• The super AMOLED screen looks amazing with its 50,000:1 contrast radio, which is better than the iPhone 4's Retina display.
• It's not as bright or sharp as the iPhone 4.
• Avatar on this display looks beautiful.
• The 4" screen size is also nice, since it's not so big like the Droid X or small like the iPhone.
• The phone runs on Android 2.1 (Samsung plans to update to 2.2) and uses the Touchwiz interface, making the overall user experience great.
• The touch screen feels smooth and responsive, and supports multi-touch.
• Samsung's widgets are also really useful: the Buddies widget makes it easy to call or message your favorite contacts, and the Feeds widget aggregates Facebook, Twitter and Myspace all at a glance.
• Launching apps or playing media is just fast as the HTC Evo or iPhone 4.
• Overall, it's one of the slickest Android phones we've used.
• The phone comes preloaded with Avatar, The Sims 3, a mobile TV app called MobiTV and a five megapixel camera.
• MobiTV is cool because there are tons of live programs or OnDemand shows.
• It comes with a 30 day trial but after that, the service costs $10 a month.
• The camera is only okay and the picture quality is a little lacking, and there's no flash.
• It does have the ability to record HD video.
• It also supports 5.1 surround sound through earphones for when you watch a movie or listen to music.
• It comes with 16 GB of storage and is micro SD expandable.
• There's also DLNA streaming.

Price

• $0.01 with a contract on Amazon.

Rating

• 5 Seals of Approval out of 5. (How do we rate gadgets?)
