Samsung S5630C review
Network and connections
An excellent product offered by Samsung, the S5630C is suitable for satisfying every type of user. The network receiver is a GSM Quadband, capable of guaranteeing optimal coverage in any area of the world, thanks also to UMTS support. Internet browsing is truly fast, with an HSDPA modem for packet data traffic. With the HTML browser it will feel like opening pages just like with home ADSL. To exchange files with other compatible devices, Bluetooth is used instead. Or alternatively the USB 2.0 data cable to sync directly with a PC. Missing instead is the antenna for Wi-Fi networks.

The compact Candybar structure 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 one hand.

Furthermore, the dedicated camera allows you to make video calls. It's also possible to stay always in touch with friends on the network, through Instant Messaging.
