Review: Samsung SGH-t609

The T609 is one of the latest phones offered by T-Mobile USA. After the popularity of Samsung’s T809 slider phone, T-Mobile decided to offer a flip phone with similar features and usability. The phone comes with a charger, battery, and hands-free headset but no memory card. This rather small phone is equipped with Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a Micro SD card slot, and many other features which makes the T609 a great phone for many people.

PhoneArena reviewed this phone, and here are some conclusions. There are a lot of options in the camera, the shooting mode includes (single shot, multi shot, and mosaic shot). Also you can select between effects like (Black & White, Negative, Sepia, etc.), there are many frames to choose from, and the phone also has a self timer option of (3, 5, 10 seconds). The video camera can record for about one minute at 176 x 144 pixels, and despite the low resolution it would have been better if you had unlimited length for your videos, because a memory card can be inserted.

Pressing the right side button launches the camera which takes about two seconds – a relatively quick one. Instantly it’s very easy to switch into video mode if desired or changing the amount of pictures you want to take. The T609 has the option of taking up to 15 pictures consecutively using the multi shot function, which is perfect for capturing that ultra cool Ferrari driving by. The camera can take up to 1.3 megapixels photos. When taking photos at the maximum resolution, it takes about three or four seconds before taking the next picture.
