Samsung X830 - Top Notch Multimedia Mobile Phone

The mobile phone industry has scrambled in recent months to provide new and exciting options that take full advantage of the advancements in flash technology to make your every day mobile phone into a full featured music player. The Samsung X830 is just such a phone, a stylishly tiny entry and a flip phone variant that half the time is indistinguishable from your standard MP3 player.

A mere 75 grams, the Samsung X830 is about the size of iPod mini when folded up, only 30 mm wide and 84 long. When flipped open, the phone reveals a narrow, two-key wide keypad and the music display switches to a standard phone display.

In a variety of colours, ranging from the standard black to orange, blue, white and pink, the X830 is a mobile phone aiming to offer not only advanced media playback, but a stylish package in which to hold it. Sitting on the outside, the screen manages a fairly decent display, at almost 4 cm, considering the mobile’s miniscule size to start with. When closed, the display acts as an interface for your music, showing equalizing options, and song track and volume information. Open, you’re presented with the phone interface – your phone book, a snappy back background and photos you might have stored.

But it’s the music playing options that make the Samsung X830 a mobile phone to fall in love with. Featuring a wide array of playback support – MP3, AAC, and WMA formats – all in amazing 3D stereo, the phone does its best to emulate that other electronic device you might have in your pocket. Featuring a full Gigabyte of storage memory, you can fit as much music on your phone as an Ipod shuffle and sort and organize your music library at the flip of the screen. The key pad makes it easier than ever to search your tracks and pull out your favorite MP3 for easy listening, or as your new ringtone.

And while music playback would be enough for most people, the Samsung X830 offers all the standard and advanced features of the other major mobile phones on the market. Complete with a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and full GSM support up to 1900. The flash memory can be used to store up to 250 songs, or to store as many photos, text messages, and emails as you’d like, and the X830’s built in USB support is perfect for quick and easy access to large file transfers. While the phone features the standard 120 hours of standby, only 3 hours of talk time make it problematic for constant music listening and talking. For those who might not be home for a few hours, over use might leave you with a dead phone.

All in all, the Samsung X830 is a mobile phone that offers all the best amenities of the new generation of mobile phones with killer music playback features. A must see for all music fans.
