Samsung A657 Review

Mobile phones with indestructible nature are made for people who work in noisy or dusty environment, so they are usually not equipped with super features such as 8MP camera, 528mhz frequency, or 8GB memory, etc. With a dimension of 3.9x2.4x0.6inches, the Samsung A657 is a new member of Samsung tough series phone. It has many conflicting features especially in terms of its exterior design and built. With a classic candy bar shape, the Samsung A657 is made according to military standard. The rubbery exterior, delicate coating and rubber grips with strong built quality, really impressive, make it a phone resistant against dust and shock, holding on under extreme temperatures and vibration, not only for plumbers, but also for commandos!

Compared with the incredible built quality, the functionality doesn't pale at all. The Samsung A657 is a Tri-Band phone with HSDPA ability, as well as a quad-band EDGE radios inside. A 3MP camera with smile detection function is equipped and it will surely be enough for casual shot. What's more, Bluetooth connectivity, built in GPS satellite navigation and a music player are also packed into this handset.

It seems that tough phones are getting smarter and smarter. The Samsung A657 adopted Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, and among phones in this level the Samsung A657 has comparatively large memory - 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, and up to 8GB of additional memory.
