Introduction

Yes, yes, we have another cheap phone for testing, this time from Samsung. Bocha took this one and J800 at the same time from MGSM.hu, and when he gave this to me, he was happy since this also has the new chipset, that provided a really pleasant speed for the menu system in case of J800.

We usually have some prejudices with the cheap phones of Samsung, at least if we consider that they are committing the usual standard errors (WAP browser launching on OK, T9 cannot be turned off and so on) since a long time. This is why it has been a pleasant surprise that the new chipset came with the new BlackUI system, which is a real advance in terms of usability.

It is an eternal question if it’s worth cramming all kinds of functions in cheap phones that are present in the more expensive ones, while compromising them. Is a music player needed on a phone with non-expandable memory, do we have to have a camera if it only has VGA resolution, will anyone ever use an HTML browser on such a small screen? Well, Samsung this time decided that they are leaving out a couple of extras, so they have really made a model that has phone calls as its primary function, and they have elegantly omitted every other extra that they have thought useless.

Of course the market will decide if this is a winning strategy, but it’s sure that they have managed to kepp the price low, B320’s SIM-free edition costs about €55-€75 euros, so it has joined such a company that has members like Nokia 2630, 1680 Classic or Sony Ericsson R300 and W200i, but we might also mention E250.
