While the iPhone is hogging the headlines, Samsung has quietly released a technical powerhouse for the person who still wants a ‘proper’ phone with a ‘proper’ camera. The G600, launched in mid-2007, is a 5-megapixel slider that is arguably the most balanced handset Samsung has ever built. It’s finished in a sleek, …
The king is dead; long live the king. The Samsung D600 arrived in late 2005 to replace the already legendary D500, and it has done so by taking everything that was good about its predecessor and turning the technical volume up to eleven. If you thought the slide on the D500 was …
The year 2004 is coming to a close, and Samsung has just dropped the D500, a phone that has effectively ended the debate over who makes the best sliding mechanism in the business. Before this, sliders were often seen as a bit of a gimmick, but the D500 is a ‘semi-automatic’ marvel; …
