Hardware, operating system
The handset’s operating system is Windows Mobile 6 Professional. The sample device had the latest ROM, so I can’t blame the weak performance of the system on this. The CPU is a 500 MHz Samsung SC32442 and there is 256 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM in the box, the typical E-TEN combo. There are some issues with speed, screen changes are slow and there is a considerable amount of waiting time when launching programs. There is only 18 MB of user memory for running programs and 142 MB for storing data, this latter one can be expanded with a microSD card.
We have measured the handset’s speed with Anton Tomow’s Pocket PC Mark again and with our latest favorite, VsBenchmark 2007, that can be freely downloaded. Here are the results:
| Pocket PC Mark v1.03 | VsBenchmark 2007 | ||
| Dhrystone Benchmark (CPU) | 156.50 | Graphics | 2377 |
| Whetstone Benchmark (CPU) | 7.23 | Others | 1358 |
| Memory Benchmark | 731.98 | JPEG | 3690 |
| File system Benchmark | 76.51 | Games | 1097 |
| Storage Cards | - | Sound | 2052 |
| Graphics Benchmark | 57.17 | Final | 2114 |
Marks from Pocket PC Mark for the CPU test were just as expected and we have an exceptionally good result at the memory test. The file system is the usual, but the graphical test result is just disastrous, so it turns out again, that this Samsung processor is not really good to use with VGA displays. It was quite obvious to compare the results of this virtual spaghetti with the ones of X650, and it’s interesting that M800 had a poorer performance, even if the difference is not significant.
