Video Review of the Verizon Samsung SCH-i760, Part 4

2007-11-13
hey guys this is stephen skarlatos of pocketnow.com this is part 4 of the video review of the verizon samsung i760 i had intended on discussing the included software in part 4 however there have been enough review requests that i will address some of them in today's video the two requests that I'm going to look at today are call quality and YouTube let's take a look at sound quality I find the the audio to be a little tinny in comparison to my t-mobile wing but it's really not that bad so I thought what I would do to demonstrate this is I access the voicemail so we'll go ahead and make the call to voicemail and then I will place it so we'll enter the password not everybody knows it try to get in here you have one saved boys message to listen to your messages press one to send a message press two to change your personal option press 42 just that Prescott as you can see the the audio is fine there's no real issue it's a little bit on the high end and the speakerphone actually works quite well from that aspect so unless you're very sensitive to high frequencies I don't think the call quality will bother you now let's talk about YouTube as most windows mobile users know youtube videos will not play out of the box however the guys over at windows mobile experts have developed a plugin for the open source TCP MP mobile player and once that's installed you can actually use the desktop version of the YouTube website to get videos to play so why don't I bring up Internet Explorer here and we're connecting and opening the default web page I'll click on YouTube now what happens is YouTube knows that this is a mobile device and will go directly to its mobile web site but its mobile website won't work because it tries to launch Windows Mobile player you actually have to go to the bottom of the page and go to the classic view which is the desktop version of the YouTube website and once that loads we can go and click on the first video and the new menu pops up you can say play video this will launch the TCP NP on media player and the video will launch shortly here you go november six so we can also go to full screen mode on the side so you can see that it works quite well especially with the evdo broadband capabilities on the verizon network so that's it for today's video tomorrow i'll be back to discuss and show the cameras picture quality as well as how fast the screen rotation is in comparison to other devices like the t-mobile Wayne
