UpStage (M620) – two-faced music phone from Samsung
You must admit: phone shopping can get quite confusing with all the added features that mobile phones boast nowadays. This two-faced unit from Samsung Electronics might make that chore simpler.
The phone side boasts of a 1.4 inch color screen, a directional toggle, and keypad with soft, flat keys. Meanwhile, the music side features touch-sensitive controls. Although the music side has some iPod-looking controls , the user is warned against trying to swipe it in a circle the way you would an iPod’s control wheel. So far most reviews we’ve seen have been mentioning that the music and the sound quality of phone calls on the UpStage is excellent.
There’s a small flip button on the edge of the unit, toggling the two sides. Whenever you use one of the sides – say, the music side for listening to songs – the other side becomes inactive. So while listening to songs and you get an incoming call, the music will stop until you hang up the call.
The Samsung UpStage (M620) is 0.37 inch thick, weighs 2.57 ounces. Some of its features include stereo Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, speech dictation and a memory card slot with a 64 MB card included. This music phone will be available around April, with a US$ 300 price tag. Check out a video preview of this most-watch-out-for gadget:
