Declared at World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, phone U900 is a new “skates” from Samsung, has recently become the second manufacturer of cellular phones in the world. It is attractive, and in doing so supports all the latest technology, and the price is very nice.

U900 looks very solid, in particular, because of the success of textured steel hull. Flawless finish, the phone should be sufficient for long. The model is not very bulky, U900 is well in hand, and the keyboard does not cause problems, evenif the keys almost flat.

Today, fashion has gone to touch screens, and Samsung introduced an entire line, which should be a new trend. Actually, in the case of U900 is implemented only partially, instead of a traditional cross because the phone uses a small touch screen. We previously tested a similar system of government on the model E950, and there it is not very convinced. Fortunately, our fears are dispelled, the sensitivity of a well-balanced, and each step is confirmed by a small vibration. Interestingly, the touch screen automatically changes the content, depending on the activity: it provides the navigation for MP3-player mode or function of the photo using the camera. Frankly, we were surprised at what Samsung has maintained the traditional keys on both sides of the touch screen?

Indoor screen works flawlessly, it has good detail and color plausible. Unfortunately, the impression of working with him on the street turned out worse. Anti coverage leaves much to be desired, a sunny day is something to see on the screen is problematic.

U900 supports the three-band GSM, as well as all the high-speed data transmission standards, whether it is 3G + and EDGE. Unfortunately, Samsung is still adheres to its own standard connector, so you always have to have a handy cable, for example, to connect to a computer. Can be criticized the lack of WiFi, but, given the price of the phone U900, it is not surprising.

Built 128 MB of memory can be expanded using the cards Micro-SD, which can store music, photos and video. Finally, support for Bluetooth 2.0 and A2DP profiles added AVRC, allowing to fully enjoy the wireless headphones. It is important to note that the slot for the standard wired headphones and adapter in the package is not included.

U900 easily handle multimedia tasks. To begin with, the phone is equipped with a five-megapixel camera that gives you the best shots at kamerafonov. Photos obtained detailed, good color rendition, and the suppression of “noise” is also very effective. Incidentally, in this respect, many kamerafony concede ordinary “soap-dish.” If you forget your camera at home, please phone to cope with shooting video, though video quality is not as good as the pictures. Again, this weakness is typical for almost all modern kamerafonov, except KU990 Viewty from LG, which is our benchmark.

The player is quite satisfactory, and to store songs can be used as embedded memory, and flash cards. The player recognizes all popular formats, and if stored music bored, you can listen to FM-radio, and there is even support for RDS. In fact, only the headphone jack of its own standard (as with other phones of this manufacturer) is the criticism, because it prevents the connection of the headphones of your choice. Since the adapter is not included, wireless headphones are Bluetooth.
