SAMSUNG DOUBLE TIME REVIEW - ANDROID SMARTPHONE

Tags: Samsung mobile|Samsung double time|Samsung Android Smartphone|Samsung double time review|Samsung double time features|Samsung smartphones

What happens when a Quick Messaging Device (QMD) meets Android technology? The makers of the Samsung DoubleTime strive to answer this question. They’ve turned a regular QMD phone into a smartphone that runs on the Android platform. The DoubleTime isn’t the fastest or most innovative smartphone out there, and it isn’t necessarily the best QMD available. However, it is one of the few affordable phones right now that combines the two types of cell phone concepts. If you use your phone primarily to send text messages, but you want some smartphone features (such as being able to search the web and send emails with relative ease), the Samsung DoubleTime is the phone for you. Here is some more information about the pros and cons of this new phone:

•     It comes with a big QWERTY keyboard. The size of this keyboard makes the phone a great choice for people who are serious about messaging and sending emails quickly and efficiently.

•     The DoubleTime folds out in the shape of a miniature laptop. The keyboard can rest flat on a surface to allow for effortless typing.

•     This phone comes with two display screens. One is on the front of the phone, and one is on the inside of the phone. You use the interior screen when you’ve folded out the keyboard of the phone. Both of these screens have a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. Smartphone users looking for clarity and color vibrancy on their screens might be disappointed with this resolution.

•     Due to its large keyboard and double screens, this phone is thick. It’s not something you can slip into your pocket unnoticed. The DoubleTime creates a bulge. However, its thick exterior makes it a pretty sturdy phone. Thick plastic protects the phone’s important internal hardware.

•     The DoubleTime runs on Android 2.2.2 Froyo. This platform has been around for a year and a half. It is definitely not the most advanced Android technology, but it works for simple web surfing and app downloading.

•     Some users have complained that the DoubleTime takes a while to transition from screen to screen.

•     This phone has excellent battery life. Some users report being able to use the phone for up to two days without charging it, which is excellent for a smartphone.

•     AT&T is charging $50 for the Samsung DoubleTime when you sign up for a two-year contract. This is a reasonable price for people who are interested in owning a basic smartphone. 

•     Unless you are incredibly interested in purchasing an affordable QMD that has smartphone qualities, this phone may not be the best option for you. Overall, it may be too difficult for many users to get past this phone’s thick body, less than impressive screen, and dated Android technology.

WHICH IS BEST OS - SYMBIAN OR ANDROID ?

Tags: What is Symbian|What is Android|Difference of Symbian and Android|Best between symbian and android OS|Best mobile Operating system


You might be aware of these two terms and usually we here that mobile is based on Symbian operating system and that is based on Android operating system. but we always curious to know , how exactly these OS affect the performance and experience of your mobile.


So here is brief discussion on these two operating system


If we talk about age of these OS, android is younger than Symbian, so it is more energetic in performance.


Android OS is acquired by Google and Nokia is coming with updated versions of Symbian OS with increased performance and experience.


Though Symbian OS is strong and updating with new features and software, but still Android OS is leader of mobile market due to its fast performance and easily available features and products.


The web browser available in Android is based on open source web kit layout engine, which enable high speed browsing and  Symbian os have native web kit based browser


Main feature of Android os is that you can update firmware or operating system anytime. like if you are using Android phone with version 1.6 android and want to upgrade to Android version 2.1 then you can easily upgrade using your phone or computer. But it is not possible in symbian , like if you are using a phone with symbian s60v3 and want to upgrade to s60v5, then only way is to buy a new phone.


Major update in Android Os is that it can run on Linux kernel 2.6.27, it means stronger stability and improved stability.


Every Android based phone provides you a feature of Android market from where you can download new applications, games, videos and much more.


Strong point of android is its feature, Google loaded it with every feature whether it is multitasking, widgets, Wi Fi hot spot and adobe player support.


Good thing with Symbian Os that it can be run on weak hardware or processor so consuming less power, so longest battery life.


overall we can say Android Os is best because it gives you a power to do something new with your phone like upgrade features, look of menu and performance. But it doesn't mean that Symbian Os is weak, you will get all features in Symbian but with some limitation.
