Looks can be deceiving: This is what I kept reminding myself when I first set eyes on the Samsung B3310. This phone looks a bit er…unappealing. But come on, lets see what you’ve got. Saying this I went on to explore the features of this handset. The Samsung B3310 camera mobile phone is pretty basic. It is a GSM device with a basic 2MP camera with QVGA video recording and a 2” display of a 240 x 320 pixel resolution. It has a slide out QWERTY keypad that is well-spaced and is easy to use. The column of number keys that runs along the handset’s body looks like set of teeth, atleast teeth are easier to use than these garish keys!
Fine, lets not be extra mean and get along to the features of this ugly-duckling. This device supports EDGE, GPRS and Bluetooth 2.1 , though it lacks 3G. MP3 player, FM radio and stereo Bluetooth are all present, so music is a decent affair. Plus the microSD expandable memory option along with the 40MB internal memory only makes things better. Social dudes and dudettes (who are not turned off by the looks) will find this gizmo’s support to social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and Photobucket appealing. Access to these is easy for, the B3310 has shortcuts for most of them.
The handset also supports email and measures 91 x 54 x 17mm with a weight of 101 grams. Text messaging and social networking appears to be this gadget’s forte, given the QWERTY keypad and quick access. The battery is pretty good with a quoted standby time of 380 hours. The Samsung B3310 is now available in the UK with for a cost of £99.95 for the handset. The bottom line is, this ugly-duckling is nothing special, but considering the price, there could be a few takers.
