Samsung B2700 Review
Samsung B2700 Review
Published on: 16 January, 2009 by PhoneArena Team
Interface and Features:
Samsung has provided the B2700 with a simple interface which works fast and smooth, without any lag between menu transitions. The phone also features a theme creator for greater personalization options.
The phonebook has a specific, yet quite simple design. It’s divided into two tabs: one for Contacts, and another for Groups. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to search for a contact by his/her last name.
The B2700 has all the standard organizer functions like calendar, alarms, tasks, world clock, units converter, calculator and so on. The calendar allows for three different view types: Month, Week and Day. It lets you organize your day by giving you an option to choose whether a certain event to be an appointment, an anniversary, a holiday, an important or a private note. The rest of the functions are also pretty standard, so we’ll pay more attention to the non-traditional features.
To begin with, the B2700 has a flashlight that’s powerful enough to help you navigate through a small dark room. For those of you that are firmly determined to lose some weight by walking, the phone is equipped with a pedometer, which isn’t perfectly accurate, but will still be able to give you a result that’s comparatively close to the real one. You also have a compass, equipped with an altimeter. However, there is a calibration procedure which looks a bit weird – you have to rotate the phone in the way that’s being shown on the screen, which is really confusing. As a whole, we aren’t sure how accurate it may be and that’s why we don’t advise you to go too deep in the woods, relying only on the compass of your B2700.
