Introduction
The Samsung – since it took the second place from Motorola on the mobile-manufacturers’ top list – is going forward, the goal on the long run is probably to overcome Nokia. The Finnish will react, of course, but there’s a great battle ahead. However, this needs the Koreans to be able to cover all those fields that Nokia is already operating on, and this is the minimum. Considering this, it is not surprising that Samsung has opened fronts on the market of the Smartphones.
The models with letter ‘i’ in their name have operating systems, either Windows or Symbian. This test’s main hero is i550, running with Symbian, and since it has a built-in GPS-receiver, it is surely to be considered as the competition for Nokia 6110 Navigator.
We can already see that the function that will be improved the most in the future – besides the media player and the camera – will be the navigation system. However, we are still not able to predict when this reaches a level where we can throw out the PNAs that are getting cheaper and cheaper every month. In my humble opinion it is still far in the future, especially because that I wouldn’t dare to go on a longer trip with the i550 – otherwise, I have to tell the same about the 6110, too.
The phone was provided by the Hungarian representative of the manufacturer, but recent news says that it will be sent out onto the market by the Vodafone, we could only get the cell with the Live software. Fortunately, the Symbian wasn’t affected much by it, so – besides a few ‘Lived’ themes – the functionality of this i550 is nearly the same as we’ll be able to use once the independent model can be bought.
