The Samsung a800

This technical Samsung a800 review is based on a computer algorithm, it is not based on a hands-on review. It outlines its best and weakest sides so that you make a well-informed decision.

The Good:

  1. Talk Time: 240 minutes of talking time. It is good enough! (score: 16/20)
  2. Phone Book: It can store up to 500 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  3. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)
  4. Camera: It features an above average camera: 2-megapixel (score: 10/10)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Weight: 4.3 oz. of weight is somewhat above average. You may find the Samsung a800 a bit bulky. (score: 4/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: ? unknown hours of stand-by time. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (score: 4/20)
  3. Speakerphone: It does not seem to include a speakerphone, which would be useful in some situations. (Find phones with a speakerphone) (score: 0/10)

Overall Score: 61
