Verizon Samsung Brightside Review

Online, March 22, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Samsung Brightside is the newest feature phone from Verizon. It gives you more features than the standard flip feature phone and you still aren't required to have a data plan. The body of the phone is solid. It measures at 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.57 and weighs 4.3 ounces. The back has a textured black matte finish and a metal boarder, so it's comfortable and stylish. The 3.1 inch screen has a 240x320 pixel resolution and supports 262,000 colors. It's definitely good enough for the tasks that are usually performed on a feature phone. On the back of the phone is a 3.2 megapixel camera with video capture. There is no flash, so don't plan on it replacing your point and shoot. As far as connectivity, the Brightside has 3G capabilities, Bluetooth and GPS. There's a basic web browser available, as well as email, Twitter and Facebook shortcuts. The keyboard is probably the best feature on the phone - the keys are well spaced and feel solid when you type. If you're looking at a feature phone instead of a smart phone, call quality is probably an important feature. The call quality on the Brightside can be tinny and sound machined at times, but most of the time is clear.
