Replace Your Cellphone

Mobile phones today are considered as mutants, since they are a combination of dozens of machines in one unit. Samsung Electronics is a genius at conjuring innovative additions to the success of the company. As the competition for the best mobile phones gets tighter, Samsung answers the call by coming up with a phone that can carry tons of features in one. Introducing, the Samsung Upstage M620: a phone that’s said to be unlike any other.

Imagine a phone that can take calls on one face, and once flipped over, it can play music and videos with the best quality. The Upstage can do that and more. Samsung was able to package the ability and power of a desktop PC in a 9mm thin unit, and it only weighs 73 grams.

When organizing phonebook entries, the Upstage does more than save numbers. Up to 500 entries can be stored on the internal memory of 53MB, with up to five numbers per entry. Each caller can be identified with a voice tag or picture ID. The Upstage even has Bluetooth voice ID, where the phone announces over your Bluetooth headset the name of the person calling.

When it comes to messaging, the Upstage is anything but a weakling. With it, you can send Short Message Service (SMS) or Multimedia Message Service (MMS). Text entry can be made faster and easier with an installed T9 dictionary, or if you don’t want to tap on the keypad, use the voice dictation feature. This is great for saving voice memos and to-do lists.

Can the Upstage sync up with your PC? Of course it can. It is USB compatible and has a slot for an SD card. The Upstage phone package comes with a 64MB SD card, and a separate 2GB memory card can be purchased separately. Since the Upstage works just like a PC, you can download songs over the air and transfer them to your PC at home.

Don’t forget the 1.3 mega pixel digital camera. With it, you can make video calls, too. Photos and videos captured with the camera can be attached to emails and MMS. The PictBridge feature allows for easier printing of photos, as the Upstage links your files directly to a printer.

There’s a heck of a lot more to say about the Upstage M620. But our best suggestion is: check it out for yourself. Do you find the Upstage hard to believe? Get yourself the phone, and it will speak for itself.
