Features and Performance
As I mentioned earlier, the i450 runs on Symbian 60 series version 3.1. It's remarkably like most Nokia phones (with the same OS), with minor personalization. The UI is non-complex, and the fact that the phone is fast helps considerably.



The 2.4-inch screen boasts 240 x 320 pixels and isn't very reflective. Of course, under bright sunshine you will be staring at yourself most of the times, so avoid doing it. The phone has 40MB of built-in memory, which can be extended using microSD cards.

There's very little to thrash the phone, as it does what it's meant to do. The i450 is a quad-band phone that supports 3G (no use here). I would have liked to see Wi-Fi, but had to settle for GPRS and EDGE. The inbuilt browser is cool, but no multiple pages. The phone supports many third party applications, courtesy S60.

The i450 comes loaded with Real Player for videos and also a Flash player, but what I like is that Samsung has also bundled support for Word, Excel and Powerpoint.


Now to quirk number two: the downward slide. It so happens that you can activate the music player by simply sliding down, but you cannot use the speakers while talking to someone. Every time I tried it the call got cut and the music player started instead!

symbian rocks and linux for mobile sucks....@ashish give some gud reasons why moto phone with lil rocks...are they cheap?? free??third-party aaps??? u arnt just aware of the symbian world

...this phone is not a good VALUE FOR MONEY OPTION....N73 is still a good option even considering the fact its slow

...another thing that hasnt been mentioned in this review is that this phone WONT SUPPORT NOKIA S60 APPS ...sam owners will miss the beta labs applications and few other stuff on s60.com

ALSO MOTOROLA ROX ..................

i agree with deep.......i mean come on guys if you'll are trying to be bais atleast dont make it so obivious......as for your choice of the nokia 5610 i read your review of the phone and no where did you mention that the phone gets "hanged" instead your wrote that it has a fasr UI if you go to read the comments half the people say its a slow phone which hangs!!! as for the the sony w580i is just a cheap immitation of the the sony w910i with reduced features all i can say about it is well in your words " theres nothing much that sets it apart".................i wonder some times wheather this part of a web 18 network or does it really belong to nokia who have hired some sycophant employees who's motto is " if it isnt nokia it isnt worth it"......

ey tech2 u r acting oversmart the phones which r compared to i450 r not smartphone(symbian os)
this phones capability is far greater than se or nokia. And the quirks you are talking about are not actually not quirks these are features that you dont like so they become quirks.
I visit tech2 once in a week or 2 just because its an indian tech site.but after reading these type of article i think tech2 is a simple waste of time.
In tech2 the guys are always showing that they are so knowledgeale every one else is a .........
