Samsung Dart T499 Review

Online, September 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Samsung Dart T499 is a great budget Android phone on the T-Mobile network. The Dart is a compact smart phone, measuring 4.09 by 2.39 by 0.48 inches and weighing 3.8 ounces, making it a great size to slip into your pocket or bag. The screen measures 3.14 inches, which is refreshing after so many smart phones getting bigger and bigger. This is a great size for someone with smaller hands or just wants a phone they won't notice when they put it in their pocket. Running on Android 2.2 Froyo and Samsung Touch User Interface, this phone will keep up with any of the day-to-day operations and you can easily get the apps you need to assist you through the day. The menu is set up with 12 apps per page, so to get to the app you need you can swipe left or right to get to the correct screen.

For texting, emails and web browsing, you have the Samsung digital keyboard as well as SWYPE to choose from. The Dart has all the Google Services preinstalled, as well as the many smart phone features you'd expect: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, microUSB, multimedia player, camera and video capture, and ThinkFree Office. It also has a 2GB memory card included, and can support up to a 32GB memory card. The Dart has the ability to make calls over the Wi-Fi network, so you don't have to take minutes away from your calling plan. The Dart is a world-ready phone, so feel free to take it anywhere. You can easily set up your email addresses to access them through your phone and as an added bonus, you can open email attachments. The Dart is 3G capable, so web pages load quickly.

We recommend having a car mount if you plan on using your phone in your car. A car mount with a signal booster is a fantastic accessory, as it ensures you don't loose your signal while keeping your phone at eye level while driving. The Wilson plug-and-play Sleek helps users reduce Samsung Dart T499 dropped calls, increase Samsung Dart T499 data rates in weak signal areas and originate Samsung Dart T499 calls from those dreaded "dead spots". The Sleek and its external vehicular antenna increases any phone's output power to the cell site while improving its ability to hear signals it normally cannot, keeping the user more reliably connected. Designed for simple set up, the Sleek™ can be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Built into the Sleek™ cradle is a Wilson tried and tested bi-directional signal amplifier and battery charging port. The cradle is ideal for hands free operation in conjunction with a Samsung Dart T499 user's headset or Bluetooth device.

We also recommend having a back-up power source. An external battery pack is a compact battery that holds a battery for an extended amount of time, allowing you to charge your battery on the go or when you don't have access to an electrical outlet. No more running out of power! Ideal for long flights, outdoor activities and serious road trips, the high capacity Naztech n301is a compact lithium polymer power source for charging your Samsung Dart T499 USB input device.

It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet provides 1800 mAH of power - that is power up to 3 times the standard battery! What completes this device is the built-in flashlight to find your way around the dark and a convenient built in battery indicator that lets you know how much battery power is left. The Samsung Dart T499 n301 battery pack can be recharged from any computer USB port or, when used with the optional Naztech n300, a standard wall power outlet in addition to any standard vehicle adapter. Great for business trips, vacations or long drives. Just simply connect and charge! You'll never be caught powerless again.
