Samsung FlipShot Review - Storage / Connectivity / Conclusion


Storage


Samsung FlipShot BackThe FlipShot's own storage capacity may be supplemented by a microSD / TransFlash card, which should be useful for users expecting to make ample use of the camera.


Connectivity


Infrared ports are becoming a thing of the past, while Wi-Fi is usually only found on phones aspiring to be a PDA. It's therefore no surprise that the FlipShot, which is fairly advanced but emphasizes camera over other functions, does not sport either of these connectivity options. However, the phone does offer USB and a host of Bluetooth profiles to take care of connectivity needs.

The USB port is pretty standard, but, as is often the case, plugs into the same slot as the power adapter. Fortunately, this shouldn't be a problem, since there is a separate, standard headphone jack, so users can listen to music while powering up.

The Bluetooth package features Headset, Handsfree, Dial Up Networking, Stereo, Phonebook Access, Basic Printing, Basic Imaging, Object Push, and Serial Port. While most people who use these features already know what they are, non-experts will probably be most concerned with the Headset and Handsfree profiles, which allow the phone to connect wirelessly to an earpiece or a handsfree car kit. Basic Printing allows the user to send images from the phone directly to a Bluetooth compatible printer, while Basic Images sends images directly to another compatible device. Stereo allows MP3 files stored on the phone to be played on compatible wireless speakers. Dial Up Network lets the phone be used as a modem with a PDA or laptop over Verizon's broadband system. Phonebook Access and Object Push let the user share stored data with another device, while serial port lets the phone be used as a "virtual serial port."

With USB and a robust Bluetooth package, the FlipShot should meet all the connectivity needs of cell phone amateurs, as well as satisfy those who regularly adapt their phone into an all-purpose connectivity device.


Conclusion


The FlipShot's design puts the emphasis on cell phone photography, and rises to its own challenge with a high-end 3.0-megapixel camera and a score of phone photo options. The photography is further supported by the FlipShot's large, 262K-color internal screen, which should come in useful even for those who do not frequently use the camera function. Video and Picture messaging round out the camera-based package.

In addition to the camera, the FlipShot also offers all of modern cell-phonia's standard features: MP3 capabilities, video downloads, web browsing, Bluetooth compatibility, organizational applications and text messaging. The software package is pretty standard for Verizon, but while it's nothing out of the ordinary, the ordinary is still pretty good. The FlipShot is an excellent option for users looking for a great cameraphone, and still a decent choice for everyone else.
