Samsung dint hesitate to outline the main strongholds of Chat322/GT-C3222 which include dual SIM capability, QWERTY keyboard and an amazingly low price tag compared with other devices featured in the same arena. On top of the aforementioned specifications, Samsung Ch@t322/GT-C3222 Duos elicits genuine admiration when it comes to social networking; widgets for major social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have been carefully integrated within its operating system and can be accessed from the home screen.
After some minor physical hardware examinations, you’ll notice the handset maker’s unmatched expertise in quality hardware which has evidently trickled down from its high-end devices such as
Galaxy S2 to a budget Samsung Chat322/GT-C3222 Duos handset. Besides its illusive QWERTY keyboard, the device features an optical trackpad which makes menu navigation a pleasant experience and the chrome strip around the body makes it look up market. Despite an attractive shiny plastic which contributes in bulk to Samsung Chat322/GT-C3222 Duo’s back presenting a nice feel, it’s prone to scratches and as such should be carefully handled. On the left hand side of
Samsung Ch@t322/GT-C3222 Duos is a volume rocker which adds a normal combination to the handset when held and is easy to use even when not looking at the phone.

Around the optical trackpad of Samsung Chat322/GT-C3222 Duos are four short cut keys which execute their respective functions normally with a simple touch. Samsung Chat322/GT-C3222 Duos definitely earned its bragging rights from the QWERTY keyboard and dual SIM capability, I found the keys rather too hard for a normal press, they require a bit of an effort to type. Dual SIM feature allows two separate SIM cards i.e. in Kenya, Safaricom and Yu to be active at the same time on a single handset. Besides other menu items are social widgets such as Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo messenger and MSN messenger which can be accessed from the home screen.
