Samsung S5620 Monte review: Well connected

Affordable touch phones are all over the place so the Samsung S5620 Monte will have to win the old fashioned way – by giving more and better features. Done deal: with full-suit connectivity, the Monte aims to deliver great touch experience...

Quad-band GSM/EDGE, UMTS 900/2100, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps ; 3" capacitive TFT touchscreen of WQVGA resolution, 256K colors ; TouchWiz 2.0 Plus user interface with multitasking support ; 200 MB onboard storage, hot-swappable microSD card slot (up to 16GB) ; 3...

Free GPS navigation is for Czech Montes only ; No on-screen QWERTY keyboard ; Flash in browser eats too much RAM, can't play YouTube videos ; No games preinstalled ; Task manager cannot be used for switching between apps

The Samsung S5620 Monte has both 3G with HSDPA and Wi-Fi for browsing and data, and a built-in GPS receiver for location services. The Monte has a capable web browser (with Flash support) and a decently sized 3” screen. The GPS can also transform the...

Samsung Monte S5620

We've hard had some face-time with the Samsung Monte (S5620) and I thought it's a nice little touchscreen phone. It's got most features of high-end phones without the expensive price tag.

Samsung Monte S5620 - Socially connected

With so many affordable touchscreen phones out there, we thought the Samsung Monte S5620 was just another option that will soon be forgotten. Having a good look, however, at its spec sheet and its suggested retail price, and trying it out for...

Responsive, has plenty of connectivity options and ; social networking integration

No DivX/XviD support

Just to keep things short, the Samsung Monte S5620 has maximized the power of feature phones to a certain level that no one would ever dare underestimate their capabilities again. Unfortunately though, phones are getting smarter and smarter, if you...

Samsung Monte S5620

The S5620 Monte does look quite stylish and interesting, but some of the other features can best be regarded as being mundane but useful. The 3" 240 x 400 pixel touchscreen display is a fairly standard TFT panel that is similar to many others on the...

Bringing in their cool TouchWiz UI empowered phone on the brink of World Mobile Congress, Samsung has totally caught us unawares. The Samsung S5620 Monte comes in barely a week before the big event. Besides the sexy UI it also has a cool 3 inch WQVGA...

A terrific Mobile Phone

I bought this because it has a Touch Screen, which makes it easier to scroll through applications, it does Video Recording, it has a Social Network Application, it has wireless internet and it comes with a GPS.

Excellent Features and Price ; Fits in your pocket ; Stylish design ; It is just like an iPhone so I wouldn't waste my money on Apple stuff as it is crap

It doesn't have a Full Qwerty Keyboard on screen
