Samsung B3410 deals & review

In a word or two

The Samsung B3410 is a touchscreen mobile phone available for an affordable amount.

The Design

The successor to the B3310, the Samsung B3410 is slimmer and wider as it houses a 2.6 inch touchscreen. Smart and simple in a black case, the phone looks and feels solid and has a nice glossy finish. Comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand, the B4310 is user-friendly.

A slider mobile, the Samsung B3410 has a full QWERTY keyboard which slides out for easy communication. The keys are nicely spaced and messaging is an enjoyable experience on this phone. The only other keys on this phone are the three on the front, beneath the screen. The display on the touchscreen allows for bright and colourful images and easy-to-navigate menus.

Specifications

The Samsung B3410 has social media at its heart, with support for a whole host of social networking sites. Using the widgets on-screen, you can access websites including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Flickr directly from your phone, interacting with friends and updating your status wherever you may be. There is also support for BT Messenger so you can enjoy instant messaging with friends who are online at the same time as you.

In addition, the Samsung B3410 has an email function. You can send, receive and open emails from your phone, which is a handy feature for sending longer messages – and easy to do because of the full QWERTY keyboard on your phone. For shorter, normally more instant messages, you can choose between standard text messages and multimedia messages.

The 2-megapixel camera inbuilt on the phone is perfect for taking fun snaps, and with video recording ability, you can truly capture moments effortlessly and in your preferred medium. The TouchWiz user interface on the Samsung B3410 makes the phone experience a good one, with a logical layout of all the features and menus.

You can listen to music on-the-go as the Samsung B3410 has an FM radio and MP3 player which can also play MP4 videos. The touchscreen is large enough for viewing videos and the high resolution display enhances the look of the footage. With pre-installed games, support for Java, and the ability to download further games, you will be entertained with this phone as well as kept in touch.

Considerations

Although the Samsung B3410 is a great mobile phone for enjoying social networking sites like Twitter, its connectivity is only 2G. There is no Wi-Fi or 3G available on the phone.

Verdict

The Samsung B3410 is an affordable and enjoyable touchscreen mobile phone with good features including easy access to social networking sites and a comfortable slide-out keyboard.
