Samsung SCH-U420 Review
The Samsung SCH-U420 is Samsung’s very impressive showing of what it can do when mixing superb style with advances in mobile phone capabilities and technology. The Nimbus is very compact and efficient, but certainly lacks no class, nor does it hold back its ability to perform a myriad of functions, which are discussed thoroughly, among other specifications, below.
Nimbus Functions
The Nimbus weighs in at a very light 91 grams. The phone has a cool black exterior, with grey plastic around the screen, while most of the phone is made of harder black plastic, with silver borders. It is modern and sleek in appearance, mostly due to its slider function. The phone measures out to be 93 X 16 mm, which is especially compact when considering all that the Nimbus can do.
The Nimbus comes equipped with an LCD screen that displays 18-bit color on a screen sized 176 X 220. The phone also comes complete with M3 program compatibility for the hard of hearing, an alarm, a ringer identification system, a calendar, and a calculator. The phone also comes with BREW software that allows it to run and download many programs other phones cannot. The Nimbus comes with its own custom games and graphics, which can also be upgraded due to the BREW software. The Nimbus not only comes equipped with GPS satellite location technology, but it comes specially equipped with GPS A technology, which means that the phone determines location by working together with the provider, which uses satellite data to pinpoint specific places and landmarks. The phone is also equipped with all of the latest Bluetooth technology, which helps the user more efficiently use some of the features on his/her Nimbus.
The Nimbus equips the user with many different options for ring tones, and is able to download almost all of them. The phone comes with the ability to play 64 different polyphonic chords, which makes almost any downloadable ring possible.
The phone also comes with it’s own library of custom ring tones, specific only to Samsung’s latest line of cellular hardware, but even more so with the Nimbus. The phone contains the standard vibration function, which is ideal for quiet environments like libraries and theatres. The phone has the ability to perform the standard voice-dialing task, but becomes even more impressive with its ability to take voice memos from the user, and also the voice control function, which are ideal in the business environment for personal notes, reminders, or any other information the user might need. The Nimbus also contains independent speaker technology that allows anyone to use the voice dialing service, as long as they enter the right name. The Nimbus provides only the best in audio entertainment features. It supports AAC format music, while also containing stereo speakers, a concept foreign to most phones. The Nimbus’s camera is a VGA model with a resolution of 640 X 820 pixels, and it comes equipped with a white balance and a self timer, but it also comes with an LED flash, which can prove to be very important when trying to take pictures in the dark.
Running Power
The Nimbus has no problem performing well above normal standards of most mobile phones, and that ability can be very important in persuading a user to purchase the product The Nimbus has no problem functioning with a talking lifetime of 4 hours (230 minutes), and a still lifetime of 216 hours (9 days). The phone is run by the Lilon 800 mah battery, which is a standard and reliable source of energy for many cell phones in the industry. Another interesting and modern feature that is increasingly found on cell phones is the ability o carry a GPS signal, which is ideal for travel situations. The phone supports both English and Spanish languages, which is a must in today’s modern society. The Nimbus carries the CDMA 850 band (800/850), which has become the standard among most company’s choices for communication. The phone book of the Nimbus is able to contain up to 500 names, with the ability to hold 7 different numbers for each name, which can prove to be very useful when the user has many friends, business contacts, family members, or any other people logged for communication purposes.
Samsung gives the consumer a broad range of options for accessories compatible with the Nimbus mobile phone. The Nimbus offers consumers a case that is fitted especially to the Nimbus’s “slider” shape, and also is compatible with a car charger made special for the Nimbus. The travel adapter and travel charger are products that are easy to carry while still being able to adequately carry out the task at hand. The lithium ion battery is the best Samsung has to offer, and offers a very sustainable energy source for the Nimbus. The Over-the-Ear, hands-free set is comparable to any of the other products used by other phones, but is unrivaled at providing comfort during an important conversation. Not only are the standard over-the-ear sets offered, but the Bluetooth ones are offered as well. The standard leather cases in various colors and styles are also available for the Nimbus, with no shortage of fitted cases especially for this phone.
Headphones are also a necessary accessory to consider when purchasing the Nimbus, due to its ability to efficiently produce music and other quality sounds.
The Nimbus is a phone that is high on looks and style without giving up any of the necessary functions and tools needed for a phone to operate. The Nimbus does not have all of the camera functions that one could ask for, but with its combination of looks and style, it certainly does have enough weight to do more than just get by. The suave slider motion of the Nimbus is something that is not easily found among the mobile phone community. For consumers who wish to find a phone that is easy to operate, has its share of bells and whistles, and is easy on the eyes, the Samsung Nimbus is certainly the answer.
