Samsung i640 Reviews

Trusted Reviews reviews the Samsung i640 and writes, "There is a front-facing camera for video calling. The 2-megapixel main camera is not much to write home about but it has a self-portrait mirror, and its back facing lens is hidden behind the slide when it is not needed, which should help with protection against scratching...The side-mounted camera button has long and short press functions; with a short press taking you to the Windows Mobile ‘Quick List' profile switcher and a long press activating the camera itself...With the camera active, pressing up and down on the navi button accesses zoom while pressing left and right controls white balance. The camera options available are pretty standard, with the main novelty being a ‘mosaic' shooting mode that lets you combine four pictures into a single one by shooting four segments one at a time."

3G reviews the Samsung i640v and writes, "The camera is a little disappointing too. At just two megapixels, it teeters on the edge of acceptability. A front-facing camera brings video calling within your reach though...The i640V has a fair amount going for it, including a long battery life and a usable keyboard. It is a bit large, though, and lacking high-end smartphone features like Wi-Fi and a decent camera."

IT Reviews has a review of the Samsung i640 and writes, "There is no Wi-Fi here, but the tri-band handset incorporates 3G with HSDPA. There is a front-facing camera for two-way video calling and a main camera whose back-facing lens is protected by the slide mechanism when it is not needed. It shoots stills at resolutions up to 2 megapixels."
