In China, SMS messages are used to spread political opinion. How good is that? The Samsung Monte has a 3 inch capacitive touchscreen to bring messaging, photos, videos and the Internet to life. The TouchWiz user interface employs intuitive graphics to guide the user from menu to application with ease. Social network integration with live updates ensures the latest gossip and pictures are only a touch away, while texts, emails and Palringo instant messaging provide a complete communication package. Access to the Internet is fast and seamless with HSDPA, Wi-Fi and a full HTML web browser. In addition to browsing, multiple applications can be downloaded to personalise and expand the functionality of the Monte.
With operation in either landscape or portrait views the 3.2 megapixel camera offers quality imaging. The use of the camera is further expanded with smile detection, geo-tagging, self timer, night mode, image editor and QVGA video capture at 15 frames per second. Once your media has been captured it can be stored onto the 200MB memory, that can be expanded up to 16GB with a microSD card. The media player handles all popular music and video formats, and can be enjoyed using the built-in speakers, via a Bluetooth headset or on your own headphones connected to the standard 3.5mm audio jack. The audio quality is exceptional and boasts 3D sound effects and DNSe (digital natural sound engine). Live music 24 hours a day can also be obtained using the built-in stereo FM radio with RDS.
Further notable features include Google Maps 3.0, A-GPS support, Wi-Fi, a document viewer and quad-band international roaming. The Monte weighs only 92g and has dimensions of 109x54x12mm. The battery standby of up to 760 hours is superb and matched by the talk-time of almost six hours. The Samsung Monte S5620 is almost unsurpassed for functionality and has a sporty design with its visually striking colour stripe. Network coverage is very good. In central London. - Ling
I am Ling! I am Chinese whirlwind. I live and work in Gateshead. As seen refusing cash on Dragons' Den and I run LINGsCARS, supplying over £28m new-cars a year - Ling
Me too! There are so many combinations. Mobile companies use confusion marketing, it is deliberate. I try to get rid of the rubbish and only show the best few deals for you - Ling
Yes, I run LINGsCARS, the award winning car contract hire website. I supply over £28m of new cars per year. Many of my car customers ask about mobiles, so I expand into this area - Ling
YES! Deferred Cashback is bad in my opinion. It is very easy to lose the cashback or make a mistake or miss claim deadlines. I advise against these cashback deals, I only show INSTANT cashback - Ling
I spend my whole day running LINGsCARS so I am damn busy! - Ling
I use special software to search and check over 64,000 mobile deals and offers. Usually more. I discard most, and only show the best. I have no loyalty to any product, I am impartial - Ling
I already supply the cheapest cars in the UK. I now use my systems to search over 64,000 mobile deals and tariffs. I have tiny overheads and margins - Ling
No, "free gifts" are never free! You only get what you pay for. By far, you are better off getting the best deal on the phone and tariff you want and ignoring "free" gift offers! Often substitute gifts are sent. That's useless. - Ling
I spend my whole day running LINGsCARS so I am damn busy! - Ling
I have no network allegiance. I compare all, and only display the best offers. You might have a preference due to local coverage or web data rates, or a particular handset - Ling
