Video Review of the Samsung SGH-i620 (BlackJack Slider): P2

2007-10-27
hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm and this is part two of the video review of the samsung SGH I 620 also known as the Black Jack slider to start I want to talk about the six heat sensitive buttons on the front of the phone I found the sensitivity of them to be pretty good it requires a light press to activate them but not so light to where you may accidentally press a button so i really like them how about this rotary scroll wheel in the front I think we're going to see this a lot on samsung devices in the future it's going to be on the black check to that comes out on the 18 teen network it makes a lot of sense because if you're right-handed and the scroll wheels on the left then you're kind of out of luck let me show you how fast it Scrolls I'm going to go into contacts I'm going to come up close here and I'm going to use my thumb to scroll down it's a pretty fast scroll and if I go really fast I get a ipod like letter chooser though I wish it would come up sooner because if I'm at the elves and I want to get all the way to the arse I have to scroll pretty fast to get that letter chooser to come up there it is and there are the arse so it would be nice if you could adjust the sensitivity of the scroll wheel or have the letter choose or come up sooner somehow perhaps immediately or by pressing a button I'm going to make a call i want to show you something that bothers me when you make a call so look at that neat animation i like that little touch from samsung so if i make a call the buttons automatically luck so if i want to turn on the speaker phone i have to unlock the keypad and to do that I flipped the device over to the back I press the unlock button and now I can turn on the speaker phone now the buttons will walk again so after again go to the back I'm not the keypad and turn off the speakerphone not to end the call again I would have to unlock the keypad or I can open the slider which unlocks the keypad and then close it again and then that's call ended I wish there was a delay and when when the keypad would lock because it's not very convenient to have to constantly turn the phone over and press the unlock button if you want to you know turn on speakerphone or look up another contact or something like that now this phone is made for Europe specifically Britain and you can tell because if you look at the H key here know if you can see that it's a british pounds symbol not american dollars or or euros or anything like that this was made for the vodafone network i know that because out of the box the internet settings are set for vodafone so i had to go in there and change the settings to AT&T and unfortunately this is a tri-band phone which is not a problem if you if you live in europe but if you live in the u.s. there are still a lot of networks that use the 850 band and this phone doesn't work on the 850 band there are some places around my house that I've tested this that has 3g usually like I can get it on my blackjack but because this doesn't have the 850 band it defaults back to GPRS and GPRS is a paltry 15k so if I want a phone that has 3g unfortunately the blackjack slider the I 620 isn't the phone that I'm going to carry on a daily basis but perhaps if you live in the u.s. depending on your carrier depending on where you are the tribe and is not a problem now in the next review we're going to go over software see what's included on this until then it's part two of the video review of the blackjack slider see you soon
