Samsung E630

The Good :
Small, sleek, and beautiful design, 20 MB memory, camera, infrared, bright TFT 65,000 colors display

The Bad:
no bluetooth, no MP3 or MP4 players, no memory extension slot

Compare Samsung E630 and Siemens SL 65. They look very similar, except Samsung E630 is a bit smaller, and has fewer features. Can we say Samsung E630 is a cheaper "version" of Siemens SL 65? We could, I guess. Anyway, the Samsung E630 brings standard features of today's smart phones. They include VGA camera, big memory (20 MB), infrared, and GPRS.

Samsung E630 display, by Samsung tradition, is bright and well, nearly perfect. E630's strength is the beauty of design and compact size. The lack of bluetooth may be a bit problem, although its 20 MB memory will hold enough pictures taken for a while. In comparison, Siemens SL 65 has only 10 MB memory, but with USB port, infrared, video player and video capture-capable camera for around 50 more dollars. But Samsung E630 has better and slightly bigger display than Siemens SL65.

For slightly lower price, you can have the charming flip-phone, Samsung E700. Or how about the professional-look Siemens S65? SonyEricsson K700 is also within similar price, but it is lagging behind in design, although it does some advantage with its radio, infrared, video with flash camera, and Bluetooth. The stylish and fashionable Nokia 7200 flip-phone, and Nokia 7260 exotic phone are also good alternatives.

Go a bit futher down, you can find the hip Motorola E398 or the versatile Nokia 3660. Go a bit up, you can find smarter phones, such as Palm Explore G18 or Siemens SX1. Then again, all the alternatives lack the beauty of Samsung E630's design, except may be Nokia 7200 flip phone or Nokia 7260.

Conclusion:
You can have any other features in alternative phones, but Samsung E630 gives you quite a big memory, with vga camera and bright brilliant display through small, compact size phone with pretty design. If you are really into style, then Samsung E630 may be good for you. But if you look for more features for the price, or "the biggest bang of the bucks", then choose other phone, cause Samsung E630 doesn't bring as many as features as others.
