Samsung J750

It was only last October 2007 when Samsung released their sleek, streamlined model – the Samsung J750, and already the phone has garnered a lot of favorable raves and reviews. And it is only fair as there is a lot to love with Samsung's little number. First thing one notices, for obvious reasons, is the J750's wonderful and brilliant design.
Though effective simplicity is key with this unit, it is however edgy with the curves in all the right places. And the slider mechanism does wonders, especially when sliding it open to reveal the innovative keypad design. But never let its looks fool you, for what your eyes see in the J750 is nothing compared to what it can do to your senses. This unassuming little phone is teeming with functionality and features that the user would surely love. Samsung definitely knew what it was doing when they conceptualized the J750. But as always, a concept does not always translate into the material world. So let us take a closer look at the Samsung J750 and see how well it can amuse.
Samsung J750 Camera and Display
With the J750, Samsung took all that they learned from being in the mobile phone industry for many years and put it to good use. That is apparent with how so many features were able to fit in the J750's 99 mm x 48 mm x 18.4 mm body. Of course, as already a modern mobile phone standard, a 1.3 mega pixel camera offering digital
zoom is present. Brightness may be tweaked and yu can also apply the different shot modes of the J750 according to your environment such as Night mode and Normal. Or think outside of the box and capture images using the Timershot, Multishot and Mosaicshot mode options.
Now 1.3 mega pixels is nothing to celebrate over you may say, especially with 2 mega pixels fast becoming the norm with today's mobile phones. But with the J750, let the images do the talking. The camera can capture images as much as 1280 x 960 pixels with options of different quality settings: Economy / Normal / Fine / Super Fine. With desktop and webpage background standards of 1024 x 768 pixels only, it is evident that the J750's camera's capability of 1280 x 960 is already so much more than the average user will need. Add to that fact the ability to add after-effects to your pictures such as Monochrome, Aqua, Sepia and Negative, and you are sure to spend hours tinkering with the J750. Then if after that you still feel a bit creative, you can let your inner Picasso out but rendering your captured images with the included frames in the J750's photo editor with various themes available.
If by any occasion you get bored with taking pictures with your Samsung J750, which is very doubtful, then let your creativity be immortalized in motion picture using the J750's video recording capabilities. It can capture H.263 videos and the bundled
video player can recognize movies in the MPEG4, 3GPP and H.263 video formats as well. It is not much really, but with today's YouTube generation, this is certainly a mobile phone feature worth having at all times. And transferring videos into you phone is easy, just load your videos from you computer's library using it's USB or Bluetooth connectivity, and you are good to go. But there is not much you can load though as the J750 only has 10 mega bytes of memory pre-installed. You'll have to shelf out more if that does not meet your needs.
Samsung J750 Design and Accessories
Aside from those nifty features mentioned earlier, the Samsung J750 boasts of a music player capable of reading and playing back MP3, MIDI, AAC, and AAC+ files. It is quite a shame though that the J750 can not employ your MP3's as its ring tone. It's such a small gripe, but still it's something I would undeniably love.
The Samsung J750 of course is not all about fun and play and offers web browsing on its brilliant display, for when you want to see how your stocks are doing or simply to keep in touch through email with your business partners abroad. All that is a cinch with the J750's 3G capabilities, using NetFront or Google search is faster than ever.
