Samsung SCH-u706 Muse

Samsung  SCH-u706 MuseSamsung SCH-u706 Muse(Alltel) is described by the good people in the Samsung marketing department as "the phone with music in its soul". So let's see what's so special about it. There are so many mobile phones out there that can playback almost any of the popular audio formats. It's practically a "must have" these days. Why does this one has it "in its soul"?

The SCH-u706 Muse has a built-in MP3 player, naturally. And support for microSD cards. Nothing new there. But it also features a graphic equalizer, playlist management and support for album art. It also supports Bluetooth Wireless Technology so it can connect to a wireless headsets, hands-free car kits, printers and computers and has a high quality 2.0 megapixel camera phone, with an equally high quality camcorder.

No WAP or WiFi, but it has a touchscreen. No JAVA embedded games or JAVA download, but it has Mobile TV and a built in FM Radio. All of those "awesome" features and the "stylish" plastic look, make it no more than a cheap MP3 player that you can also use to take pictures and make phone calls.

Now, this was a waste or my time. I don't even know why I made a post about it. More info on the Samsung SCH-u706 Muse can be found here.
