Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 review: Utility droid - GSMArena.com

Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 review: Utility droid - GSMArena.com: "The Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 is not a phone to stun and impress. It sure is the first Android messenger by Samsung but not likely to have a prominent place in the company’s lineup. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though – the first thing for the Galaxy Pro to worry about is finding its right audience.

There are phones that can’t escape the Blackberry-wannabe label. But the Galaxy Pro has a solid argument against that – Android. You know, imitation is in the natural order of things if we’re talking about basic feature phones. But with Android inside, you can’t help but feel it’s all part of a bigger plan.

Back to the Galaxy Pro though – its stand-out feature is the QWERTY keyboard and it just couldn’t have been better.If it’s the messaging that you’re after, you won’t be disappointed at all. A perfect keyboard is not alone either –Android is good at email, there are lots of social apps and the Galaxy Pro is no stranger to Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. There is a free document viewer inside too, which can be upgraded to enable editing.

Aiming at the mid-range, the Galaxy Pro probably has most of the features you could expect – passable screen and camera, all the connectivity you may need, including Wireless N and Bluetooth 3.0. The Android 2.2 Froyo inside may not be the latest version, but it runs well on the 800MHz processor powering the Galaxy Pro.

If you could live with the average screen, then your only concern should be the OS limitations due to the QVGA resolution. Lots of apps in the Android Market don’t support it, so your app choice will be limited.

The competition at the moment is patchy – there is the outdated and quite cheap Acer beTouch E130 running on Android 1.6 and also the also cheap T-Mobile exclusive Motorola CHARM. The later runs on Android 2.1 Eclair, but in case you live in USA you’re a T-Mobile user, then it is not an option for you..."
