Samsung i550w - Overall Review

After reading back all the posts I've wrote for the Samsung i550w, I noticed that I have actually covered almost everything bout the phone. Did I miss out anything?

I would say Samsung i550w is a great phone with lots of features such as my dream Wifi and build in GPS. It also has other great features like the auto focus 3 megapixel camera. The power of Symbian S60 makes this phone even greater on a large 2.6 inches screen.

I don't want to make a long post for an overall review as you may find the full review (which includes the interface, camera, Wifi, GPS, music player... bla bla bla) on my previous post which discussed on almost every single part of the phone.

If you are my regular reader, you will notice that I always mention that there is no "perfect" phone. Every phone have got their pros and cons. I'm trying to be fair now by sharing with you the good and bad of Samsung i550w.

The pros:
- 2.6" 262K-color TFT display of QVGA resolution
- The Wi-Fi function
- Build in GPS receiver
- Trackball navigation
- MicroSD card slot (up to 4G)
- Large display screen
- 3.5mm earphone (I can plugged in to my speaker!)
- Great defaulted web browser (I don't need to install 3rd party browser)

The cons:
- No Xenon flash
- Battery life (I guess you know what I mean)
- No firmware upgrade
- detection time for GPS (sometime took up to 10 minutes to locate me)

For me, the pros of the phone are good enough to cover the cons. With Wifi and build in GPS I've got absolutely no critics on the phone at all. I just love the features so much! The Samsung i550w is priced at RM1499, which I think is very very reasonable price considering the features that comes along with it. However, I've recently come acrossed some papers publishing the price of the Samsung i550w at RM1,599 (So now I don't really know which is which).

Are you going to get one for yourself after reading all my previous posts?
