Samsung continues to develop a strong appetite for Dual Sim handsets capable of supporting two different Sim cards belonging to the same or different networks at the same time; latest reports indicate the manufacturer has introduced yet another Samsung E2222 Chat222 budget cell phone specially targeting individuals with more than one Sim card but want to use a single phone in keeping them active wherever they are. The introduction of Samsung Chat222 (E2222) slightly shifts the manufacturer’s association to Google’s Android operating system where it has literally recorded mass production of devices ranging from high-end smart phones to entry level devices. It was only recently Samsung introduced S8600 Wave 3, Wave M S7250 and Wave Y S5380 smart phones featuring its newest version of proprietary Bada v2.0 operating system, this came after Samsung’s major rival Nokia placed a deaf ear on Android’s explosion and consequently upgrading its own OS to Symbian Belle.
Although Samsung Ch@t222 (E2222) is deemed an entry level handset, the phone prides of having a QWERTY keypad commonly associated with high-end smart phones, the essence of a QWERTY keypad surfaces while utilizing a messaging service such as text messages, instant messaging and e-mail services on your handset. In addition, Samsung Chat222 (E2222) has a modest 2.2 inch display panel; its very difficult to rate this handset by observation unless you’ve actually used it, a QWERTY keypad is rated with high-end phones, but a 2.2 inch screen significantly reduces the phones worth. Looking at social networking aspect of Chat222 (E2222), I have to admit the manufacturer did a splendid job; major social networking applications such as facebook and twitter have been integrated on this handset. If you intent to get a phone with better photo capture experience, I strongly suggest you beef up your budget for a smart device; Samsung Ch@t222 (E2222) houses a low quality VGA camera suitable for average close view images.
On the other hand, basic multimedia capabilities such as music player and Fm radio have been catered for on Samsung Chat222, it is equipped with 3D sound technology. You’ll however be impressed by Chat222’s ability to support up to 16GB MicroSD card significantly increasing storage capacity for your music files. An additional pimp on this device integrates conference call functionality and Bluetooth feature to share file with compatible devices.
