Samsung Strive SGH-A687
$399.00
Released March, 2010
The Pros:Screen is clear and easy to read, even in bright outdoor conditions. 2-megapixel camera performs better than expected - still images with sufficient natural lighting are clear and detailed.
The Cons:Physical keyboard response is relatively stiff - can feel awkward and uncomfortable with extended use. Camcorder mode performs rather poorly - captured video is grainy and playback tends to lag. Mic quality is lacking - outgoing vocal clarity is easily distorted.
