Connectivity

By installing EasyStudio software on a PC, users can send and receive data to or from the E635. Additionally, users can send and receive Address Book entries and Calendar Memos from another compliant phone through the infrared port. Since the E635's applications aren't particularly robust, there are no synchronization options.

Conclusion

It's remarkable just how tiny the Samsung E635 is. Compact and lightweight, the E635 is aimed at consumers who want a sleek design and minimal hassle. Featuring an innovative slide form, the E635 is able to create one of the smallest phones on the market today with enough surface area for comfortable text messaging.

Not particularly robust in functionality, the E635 lacks email and synchronization, features considered basic among most phones. Geared more towards the masses as a fun phone rather than consumers who need productivity, the E635 should be avoided for those who need a phone to keep track of tasks.

For those looking for robust functionality or multimedia-rich features, there better and more capable devices on the market. But for consumers who require a small form factor and want for a device to help pass idle moments, the E635 fits perfectly, packing in AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, and Yahoo! Messenger chat programs, a polyphonic ringtone composer, and J2ME games and applications platform into one of the smallest phones on the market today.
