hi I'm Ken Charmin senior editor here at SEMA comm today we take a first look at the Samsung my shot - also called the SCH r4 60 this is a new phone for Cricut pretty basic design a little bit of red color though here on the bottom so makes it just a tiny bit unique external display is a little small but I does show everything you need it also works as a viewfinder for the camera and will show a photo caller ID here on this side you find a volume rocker and the charger port is right below it luckily it is in the microUSB format which is becoming a standard up here is a 2.5 millimeter headset jack we really prefer 3.5 but this isn't a real music phone so we'll let it pass here here on this side you'll find a camera shutter and down below you'll find the micro SD slot for the memory card so nicely they put this outside you don't have to go behind the battery the battery cover to access it inside displays pretty standard average color average resolution but it is pretty bright and shows photos and graphics relatively well menus are also easy to master come in a couple styles but you can find everything pretty quickly and easily you have a very spacious toggle here with an OK button in the middle find a couple of soft keys here dedicated speakerphone key and a dedicated key for the music player these keys are flush as well but give a get a lot of room so we don't have any trouble using them above the keypad buttons you'll find the talk and in power key along with the keypad buttons they are raised above the surface of the phone so pretty tactile we could text and dial easily pretty easy to use in the dark as well thanks to the backlighting and you could dial by feel phone doesn't have a real intense feature set has a 1.3 megapixel camera has a very basic music player personal organizer options bluetooth voice commands and dialing a voice recorder so really this phone is about just making calls sending messages camera is OK photo quality isn't the best but if you need a phone it offers a little bit more than what most cricket phones offer isn't a bad buy I'm Kent Sherman and this is the Samsung my shot too
