The Samsung i640 is another sleek slider from the World’s number 2 mobile phone manufacturer though quite a bit different from their other slider phones. The Samsung i640 when compared with Samsung’s other slider phones is probably a bit wider and a bit bulkier than the others. But I guess it’s understandable because of the QWERTY keyboard and the large 2.4 inch display.
The Samsung i640 has a lot of features to like. For one, it’s a Quad band phone plus HSDPA capable. This device also runs on Windows Mobile 6 so expect Office Mobile applications such as Word, Excel, and a Powerpoint viewer. The big navigation wheel in the middle of the Samsung i640 is also very easy to use. It’s like the circular navigation button on the HTC Touch Cruise, you can either press it or move your fingers around it to access some menus. The Samsung i640 combines the look of a simple candy bar phone and the functionality of a slider. The QWERTY keyboard is also ergonomic and is something that Blackberry users will most certainly like.
