This technical Samsung t809 review is based on a computer algorithm, it is not a live hands-on review. It lists its best and weakest sides so that you make an informed decision.
The Good:
- Technology: The Samsung t809 works with global frequencies of the GSM standard which is convenient if you travel overseas frequently. (Roaming charges from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
- Phone Book: It can store a variable number of phone book entries. This is generally the case of phones with a dynamic memory and, it usually allows for a lot of phone numbers to be stored. (score: 20/20)
- Memory Expansion Slot: It features a memory expansion slot TransFlash, a convenient way to store more music and pictures or transfer them from and to your laptop computer. (score: 10/10)
