T-Mobile Samsung SGH-t339 Charcoal
Samsung SGH-t339 Charcoal Review
The Samsung SGH-T339
is a handset that comes in a very attractive candy apple color. It also
comes with a WiFi feature that is reason enough for people to flock
to its side. The Samsung SGH T339 is a flip phone with an eye popping
red color. The phone is very attractive in its light and slim
figure. Its small figure makes it very portable and can fit in almost
every pocket with ease. The phone is cased in plastic but very comfortable
when held.
The external display
is somewhat small. It only measures 1 inch and supports 65,000
colors. Screen shows the time, date, battery life, signal strength,
photo caller ID and a viewfinder for the camera. Contrast and backlight
time can be changed. The backlight time is very short maybe for battery
saving purposes.
On the left spine of
the phone, you will see the volume rocker and the headset jack which
also serves as a charger port. The volume rocker is conveniently
located for adjusting the volume levels during conversations. Headsets
are limited to those provided by the manufacturer. On the right spine,
there is a microSD card slot and camera shutter.
Flipping the phone
open reveals a 2-inch internal display that supports 262,000 colors.
Image and graphics are a bit blurry and washed out. The Samsung SGH
T339’s menu is icon-based and very easy-to-use. Backlight time and
font color and size for dialing can be adjusted.
Phones navigation array
is very nice. Keys are adequately spaced and flushed for easier and
accurate key input. The circular toggle can also be used to launch frequently
used applications. Inside the toggle is a button that serves as an OK
key. The Talk and End/Power buttons are very accessible and the
clear key is located just below the navigation toggle.
Keypad design is very
good. An alternate color pattern of black and grey adorn the keypads.
Keypad buttons are raised and a bit slippery but large in size. Keypad
has a very bright backlight and provides good contrast for dark environments.
Phone book capacity
is a large with room for 1,000 contacts. Each contact can have five
phone numbers, email address, and notes. You can assign a contact to
a group, photo for caller ID, and a polyphonic ringtone. Other
basic features include: vibrate mode, alarm clock, world clock,
calendar, task list, notepad, calculator, tip calculator, stopwatch,
timer, unit converter, speakerphone, voice memo recorder, and text messaging
and MMS. It also features Bluetooth, PC syncing, and IM or instant
messaging.
With the Wi-Fi feature,
it is very easy to make calls and provide better audio quality.
You will just scan and choose through the available networks and make
your call. Calling through Wi-Fi is free of charge. You
just have to make sure that you are in a location wherein there is a
strong and reliable Wi-Fi signal to make successful calls and conversations.
Located above the external
display is a 1.3 megapixel camera. You can capture photos in seven
different resolutions. There is also an impressive array of editing
options such as night mode, brightness adjustment, and white balance
settings. Loaded with settings and functions for image capture it comes
with an additional set of features including six color effects, exposure
metering, 4x zoom, shutter sounds, multi-shot and mosaic modes, self-timer
and 28 fun frames. Photo quality however was average and there
is no flash to capture brighter images in dark surroundings. You can
directly upload photos to an online album. Videos can be recorded
in three resolutions and other editing options are similar to image
capture. Video clips could be recorded at 60 seconds for MMS messages.
Multimedia features
for the T339 include a generic music player. It is very simple and easy
to understand but options for toggling music play is limited to shuffling
and repeating songs. One cool feature however is the phone’s ability
to use MP3’s as ringtones.
Wallpapers, themes,
and alert tones can be changed. You can download additional options
and ringtones through the WAP 2.0 Web browser. Demo games are
installed and you will have to purchase the full versions if you want
an extended play.
The SGH-T339 is a tri-band
phone. Call quality is fairly good but the volume is a little
bit soft. On the other end of the line, the sound is fine with
minimal background noise heard but it is not a big deal. Speakerphone
was also a little low. You can have a talk time up to 6 hours
and a 10-day standby time.
WiFi, that pretty much sums up the Samsung SGH T339. Coming in at an attractive and competitive price, this Samsung phone could provide you with countless, inexpensive online times. For fans of popular social networks that have been so popular today, the SGH T339 is one of the few phones that give you that connectivity.
