The Bottom Line The Samsung SGH-A517 has a fair set of features, but as a cell phone, it doesn't make the best calls. Though its call quality could be improved, the Samsung SGH-A227 is a respectable phone for occasional callers. The Samsung Eternity succeeds as a multimedia device, but without Wi-Fi and full e-mail support, it stops well short of being a business-friendly device. While the lack of 3G and expensive price tag will keep it out of the hands of the masses, the Samsung i890 Omnia HD is a powerful multimedia smartphone that rivals the other high-end touch-screen devices. The Samsung Solstice offers a touch screen and multimedia features, but its performance isn't the best.
