Samsung i617T

Samsung lays down its cards.

3.6Mbps HSDPA, Windows Mobile 6, built-in GPS, more memory than previous version, slightly larger display, 2-megapixel camera

No Wi-Fi, glossy surface is a fingerprint magnet, proprietary headphone/charging jack

Samsung’s second smartphone to be released on Telstra’s Next G network, the i617T improves on its predecessor but remains let down by the lack of Wi-Fi.

Review: Samsung i617T - Reviews - Mobiles & Handhelds - Digital Life

The smartphone market can be bewildering at best - there are somany phones on so many plans from so many networks. Some are goodall-rounders while others carve out a niche. We'd put the Samsungi617T in the latter bracket.

If you can put up with the small screen, it's great value.

Good

This i617T is a business oriented phone, with features such as push email and all that kind of stuff. Its fun to use, and the jog wheel is fun to use but it can be irritating when trying to change settings. The GPS works well, generally picking up a...

Small for a smartphone - looks great - easy to type with

Camera is not great - getting through menus can be infuriating
