FM-radio. The handset features memory for 30 stations. A Pop up Alert, which is some kind of an alarm clock reproducing radio, is integrated. We have no complains of the radio realization.
.
Synchronization is made using IrDA and a cable. Easy Studio 2.0 will be included into a delivery kit (actually provided on the manufacturer's site).
Productivity. As the phone doesn't support 3D applications, we used the first and the second Jbenchmark versions. Generally, the results are quite typical for Samsung's phones of this level, however lose a little to ones by other makers.
Impressions
The connection quality is typically high and rouses no complaints. The loudspeaker sound is clear with no strange noises. The volume of the 40-tones polyphonic alert is average, and mp3 melodies sound loud enough to hear in a noisy street. The power of a vibra is average.
The model will appear in the market in January, and its primordial price will form 225-250 USD, which is rather high for a functionally unbalanced product. On the one hand here is radio and a nominal mp3 player. On the other hand such memory size is enough only for call melodies, thus you can't use the player fully. A curious thing is the maker should have emphasized FM radio but not the mp3 player.
In fact, Motorola v360 is a very strong rival, and thus the discussed model may be not very successful. The Motorola's model has a more qualitative inner screen with the resolution of 176x220 pixels, which is one of the best on the market and wins over the Samsung's one. At the same time, Samsung's advantage is a colour external screen with constantly active lines with status data. Both models are equipped with Bluetooth and support headsets on the same level. The cameras are comparable, however Motorola's phone lacks radio, but has a microSD expansion slot, which is a great advantage. That means the presence of a fully functional mp3 player. The phonebook and extra functions are best by Samsung, however not many people will bother about it in this price segment. Motorola v360 will keep the price 20-30 USD lower than for Samsung E360. Which allows saying surely that Samsung E360 will not become a bestseller and will remain an assortment offer. The same fate fell on Samsung E350, this slider expands the product line, however is not mass due to high price, which was reduced to 220 USD (according to our forecasts).
Samsung E360 is a niche product, which is worth attention if you are pleased with design and functionality and do not need an mp3 player.
