Samsung Delve-R800 Review

The Samsung Delve-R800 is easily one of the best bar phones on the market today. Sporting an ample touchscreen display, the unit has all the usual bells and whistles and even manages to make some of them a little better than the competition. For example, the camera comes with 2 MP resolution rather than the 1.3 MP that appears to be the standard for most phones. Instead of the usual three hours of active talk time, the R-800 provides a whopping five and a half hours. As for standby time, you can depend on a maximum figure of 205 hours – not quite as much as the competition.

For cruising around the Internet, there is a full HTML browser that moves at a great speed. The GPS feature is easy to operate and can come in handy wherever you happen to be. Along with the great resolution, the camera comes with a self-timer, white balance, and an easy to use night mode. The Bluetooth capability will also please many customers, as will the 8GB microSD memory card.

One of the important aspects of any wireless phone is the ability to make calls and enjoy a clear signal. On this front, the R800 delivers in a big way. The speakerphone also provides great clarity and makes the phone a great option for hands-free use. As a portable communications system, the Samsung Delve-R800 is definitely worth considering.

Overall

The Samsung Delve-R800 has a simple design, a great display and easy to use. If you are in the market for a new phone, this is one unit that is well worth looking over very closely.
