Samsung B3410W Ch@t review
Network and connections
An excellent product offered by Samsung, the B3410W Ch@t is suitable for satisfying every type of user. The network receiver is a Quadband GSM, capable of guaranteeing optimal coverage in any area of the world, despite lacking UMTS support. Internet browsing is really fast, with a GPRS/EDGE modem for packet data traffic. With the HTML browser it will seem like opening pages without any problems. To exchange files with other compatible devices, Bluetooth is used instead. Or even the USB 2.0 data cable to sync directly with a PC. It is also possible to take advantage of distributed Wi-Fi networks.
Design and features
The compact structure with a lateral Slider encloses everything in a sturdy body that's practical to handle. The rounded edges offer an ergonomic grip, to hold the device comfortably in the palm of your hand. The dimensions are in fact compact, with a thickness of 16.2 mm and a weight of 114 grams. Inside is the extended QWERTY keyboard, for better managing texts. The front part houses the large display, a 2.6-inch QVGA TFT with display of up to 256,000 colors. It is equipped with TouchWhiz 2.0 technology, to offer simple and intuitive content management. A multifunction key also helps in using the menus. Included in the sales package are earphones and a data cable.
Main features
The simple and intuitive interface allows you to manage everything without problems, with menus that are ever more convenient and fast. The application package offered is absolutely complete, with address book, organizer, alarm clock and calculator, currency converter and even a stopwatch. But that's not all, because Java support allows you to install compatible software for expansion. Support for Office documents allows you to manage E-mail attachments without any problems. These can be composed quickly, thanks to assisted writing that helps a lot with message texts. Even the purely telephonic aspect is no less impressive, with good quality speakerphone, voice recorder, and multi-conference support.
Entertainment and multimedia
To complete the technological offering of this B3410W Ch@t, Samsung's designers have equipped the device with a 2 megapixel camera. It is really handy for taking photographs whenever needed, thanks also to Flash, Zoom and other dedicated functions. You can also record videos, to then save on the internal memory expandable up to 16 GB with microSD cards. There's also a multimedia player for playing audio and video files in various formats. The AM/FM antenna then allows you to receive your favorite radio broadcasts in any area, with RDS function. Battery life is not bad, with 450 hours in Stand-by.
