The new Samsung I640 is the latest smartphone release on the UK network Vodafone, following on from the success of the Samsung i600 the new i640 offers far more technology and features with upgraded software and camera capabilities.
A Windows Mobile 6.0 Smartphone, the Samsung i640 comes with WiFi capabilities, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSDPA, full slide-out Qwerty keyboard, a 2.4inch 320 x 240 pixel TFT internal screen display and external colour display.
Trackwheel navigation makes it easy to browse emails, messages, audio files and images and the Samsung SGH-i640 even has GPS with Navigation Client.
Equipped for every eventuality, the Samsung SGH I640 sports a 2.0 mega pixel camera with full video recording. Bluetooth v2.0, USB connectivity and memory expansion almost come as standard these days and from what we can determine, although the design has changed somewhat, the Samsung i640 is in fact an upgrade of the Samsung i620.
The Samsung i640 also features EV-DO high speed data, which makes downloading files and email attachments much faster.
With the onboard Windows Media Player, users have access to live streaming video and the ability to download high quality music direct to your mobile.
Although aimed more at Business users, the Samsung i640 has enough features to suit everyone. So as the upgrade of the i620, Samsung appear to have filled all the gaps and added all the vital features to the i640 that the i620 lacked. The Samsung I640 is also YouTube enabled letting you edit and upload video clips directly from your mobile, great for when you are out and about and want to share your experiences with the world.
The Samsung i640 is also due to be released in a pure white casing sometime in the not so distant future but for now the i640 smart phone is available as an exclusive handset on Vodafone and is set to be one of the most popular 3G mobile phones from Samsung this quarter.
