Data transfer, battery
There is neither 3G, nor HSDPA support on E840; the fastest communication technology available for the little Samsung is EDGE. There is a NetFront browser on the phone, which can display HTML pages; we only need the nerves to wait for a complex site to load. At local level we have USB 2.0 and stereo Bluetooth 2.0. The previous needs Samsung PC Studio to be installed in order to be able to tamper with the phonebook from the PC.
Under the pink cover there is a battery that looked quite weak at first sight, moreover because its capacity is only 690 mAh. This might be weak even in monochrome phones, but E840 works for two days with it, even though the large screen probably eats up a lot of energy.
Summary? The phone costs about €165 EUR at the moment of writing this article. Probably this is the price range where there are the most phones. If it’s design won’t sell it, than nothing will, as from the same brand D900 or E740 are great opponents, and D900 even costs 25% less. But K770i or K810i are also cheaper, not mentioning Nokia 6120 classic… There is no award, and I think the reasons for this are quite self-explanatory.
