Samsung SGH-T619 Review

Published on: 22 January, 2007 by PhoneArena Team

Performance:

Just like the similar models Т519 and Т629, Т619 works steadily and quickly. This is a huge advantage for those Samsung phones which you almost never have to wait for when working with their menus and which let you do even more complex tasks with comparative ease.

The signal reception is actually rather low. The performance of the phone is under the mean level and it is difficult to have a conversation at places with a poorer signal.

Т619 performs quite well during a conversation! The outgoing sound is strong, clear and distinct and the sound of voices is light, realistic and airy: you would not tell that you were talking on an ordinary mobile phone. The level of sound that you hear is medium, but the sound is slightly muffled, as if it were coming through a curtain - the high sound frequencies are not there.

Conclusion:

If you need a simple phone, this is your choice: a perfect small-sized and light clamshell with an in-built antenna, Т619 has an elegant look, it is easy to use with good performance as a telephone and equipped with quick interface. It’ll make your days easier thanks to its in-built messenger, Bluetooth and an enjoyable extra as the MP3 music player.

Pros

Small dimensions and attractive look.
Incredible fast menu. Logical menu system.
24MB of internal memory
Bluetooth v2 with support for A2DP

Cons

Keypad is flush with mediocre backlight.
Can not ring and vibrate at the same time (only option for Vibrate then ring)
You can’t use internet with other carrier, even if the phone is fully unlocked.

PAppeal

Christian Dior:: 4 of 10; Low

Although this is a budget model without expensive materials and hi-end surface, the T619 still has an attractive look (when it is closed).

Average Joe:: 10 of 10; Very high

This is a phone for you! It packs everything basic, with some fun tools and features like music ringtones and camera, at a good price.

Corporate US:: 1 of 10; Very low

This is just not a phone for you.

High-Tech junkie: 2 of 10; Very low

The phone is not targeted to high-tech customers; it has basic functionality with decent camera and music player, just for listening to the ringtones.
