The third - generation Samsung – Armani phone dubbed as the B7620 is set to be made available in the business and fashion capitals of the world. Among them are Milan, London, Madrid, Moscow, Beijing and Dubai with a price tag of 700 euros. With high rolling executives in sight, the price is certainly not an issue. However, if you think business people will part with their euros just for the Armani logo imprinted upfront, then you might be wrong.
Fashion
Certainly, this golden phone is a looker. Designed by Giorgio Armani himself, it sports a unique slide and tilt screen to give way to a full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard exudes elegance with its gold background and black island – style keys aside from the ease it offers for those who rely much on their smart phones for a lot of messaging tasks. Along with the keyboard, the highly responsive touch screen does much of the phone’s navigation and basic functions. Along with the Armani logo, the face is highlighted by a gem – inspired main menu key. Well it is not gem literally but is very valuable in giving users much ease in operating this expensive high tech toy.
This is not the slimmest phone there is but is probably among the most elegant – looking. I am sure the high riding and fashion conscious executives wouldn’t mind having this fat lady doing the modeling for Armani. Unlike other phones, it comes with two carrying pouches in its package, one for the phone itself and the other one for the accessories. And you sure can bet that the pouches are as fashionable as they are expected to be.
Function
The Samsung – Giorgio Armani smart phone is also functional as it is fashionable, rightfully justifying the hefty price tag. First – off, it comes loaded with Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. The My Phone application that comes free with the OS allows user to manage files easily by allowing access and back ups of data stored in the smart phone to the web in a password-secured environment.
This added security feature comes handy should you lose or damage your phone and needs to access and reload your data into a new phone. Access through the web is also possible. It also has a work/leisure interface that dissects business and personal contacts, and other information into separate chambers. You can easily toggle from business to personal mode and back by an easy click. It has an on-board 8 GB storage that is upgradable up to 32 GB via the micro SD slot.
Fun
It features an ultra brilliant touch screen that is ideal for viewing videos, still images and slide shows even while on the go. The screen features an AMOLED backlight that enhances clarity without consuming much energy. It runs on an 800 MHz processor with dedicated graphics accelerator so you are sure of superb graphic and video displays and streaming.
It also has a 5 mega pixel camera that also doubles as a video recorder capable of capturing shots at 30 frames per second speed. In addition, it has a multimedia player, FM radio and TV-out. So this also comes as a superb and fun multimedia device.
