predecessor when that device was released last year inside the box you will find the samsung intercept here at the top it does have a capacitive touchscreen along with a landscape oriented toward e

display it is lower resolution than the sprint samsung moment which has a half vga AMOLED touchscreen display this display is a TFT LCD touchscreen which does have some advantages over the AMOLED display in that it is a little bit better for outdoors on viewing however the AMOLED display does give richer and more vibrant colors on the bottom of the touchscreen you have for capacitive touch buttons that do light up they are for the menu the home back and the search button the search button is an addition to the moment which lacked the search button and offered only three capacitive touch buttons like the moment this device also has two physical hard buttons here at the bottom for cost and an end the end button also serves as a screen toggle to turn on and off the device you can unlock the swing by swiping your finger up to reveal the basic stock Android UI there is also an optical trackpad here on the bottom that allows you to navigate through your home screens by swiping up down

using your device easier for instance there's a think free office which will allow you to open and view microsoft office attachments such as your word and excel files sprint TV is also included which gives you access to live television content as well as on-demand content here as well it does take a bit longer to load on the moment be or on the intercept versus the sprint HTC evo 4g because the intercept uses a rev 0 or rev 0 network support versus the evdo rev a on the EVO 4G which is slightly faster for 3g connectivity web pages do render a little bit slower on the revo network and in part because of these lower network support but you'll notice that webpages load up so that you can navigate and view a content on the page even before it finishes loading so here we're on the pocketnow.com homepage and in a bit you'll see that the content will load while everything else in the background will finish loading so you can have access to content as you need it multi-touch support is included pinch-to-zoom as well as double tap zooming is available on this device as well on the hardware side on the left side you have volumes up and down button towards the bottom a nice feature is that you have a covered micro SD card slot which you don't need to remove the battery or battery cover to access and sprint and Samsung included a two gigabyte card here for you along the bottom the device is relatively clean except for a microphone hole and a little slit here for you to pry off the back battery cover on the right-hand side you'll find an air vent here to amplify the noise on the loudspeaker on the back side along with a three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack towards the bottom right side you'll find the camera button which is a dual press shutter button that

the back the device comes with a fifteen hundred million per hour battery which is rated for over six hours of talk time which is very good for a 3g enabled smartphone the battery cover is contoured so it does feel comfortable in the hand and the device does feel a little bit more slick and modern than the samsung moment which it does replace on the device you will also have gps Wi-Fi and bluetooth radios and the back side is matt with a slightly rubberized finished although it's not like a soft touch finish that many are accustomed to on devices such as the HTC evo 4g which has more of a rubberized field to the back battery cover the samsung moment has a nice spring assisted a keyboard sliding mechanism and on the keyboard another notable thing to mention is that it has a quick shortcut key here that is accessible via the secondary button that pulls up emoticons so that you'll have quick access to some of the more popular emoticons if you're a heavy texture that uses these emoticons the device is responsive it does have an 800 megahertz on CPU which sits between the HTC aria on AT&T with a 600 megahertz processor and the snapdragon on the HTC evo 4g which has a 1 gigahertz processor this device does feel responsive and fast in daily use and also you can multitask with the device by pressing and holding on the home button which will pull up recently accessed
