Well... I like the high tech BUT Why all this investments in cell phones i think we have to improve other devices.. becuse there is no one will watch a complete movie on his cell phone unless we make a glass to watch the movies and High quality head phones to injoy the movies... but it still the cinema preferable

Without bluetooth not included in its quiver, this phone seems to be handicapped. Though it has got some latest features, but still... without bluetooth it is rendered stingless. It seems Samsung and bluetooth don't go well together.

Well, your banner ad think we are all jackasses. Opera is available completely free on Opera.com and not just from techtree.com. Quit lying. Remind me to turn on some ad blocking software the next time I visit the site.
