Samsung Sunburst SGH-a697 – A Low-cost yet Sleek Touch Phone

Utilizing Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface for navigation, the Sunburst contains three home screens that can be customized with different widgets, allowing you to have instant access to your favorite applications with just one touch. What is new here is the Smart Unlock gesture control feature, which lets you draw letters to launch various tasks, such as instant messaging and web browsing. All these can be performed easily on the 3-inch (262k colors, 240x400 pixel resolution) resistive screen on the front of the slate.
Billed as a messaging phone, the Sunburst packs in advanced messaging features. Apart from SMS, MMS and instant messaging (for AIM, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger), you also get access to email services like Yahoo Mail, AOL and Gmail. The preloaded AT&T Social Net brings you to social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Besides, the Sunburst is one of the first few phones to support AT&T’s cloud services, including AT&T address book for syncing your contacts online, and AT&T Mobile Share for sharing photos and videos on multiple social networks.
As for the multimedia aspect, the Sunburst has a built-in 2-megapixel camera that supports up to 4x zoom and video recording. The full HTML browser lets you zoom in or out simply by holding down and moving your finger on the screen. An MP3 music player and a video player are onboard. The handset also works with some other AT&T applications, such as AT&T Mobile Music and AT&T Navigator.
Other than the above features, the phone is outfitted with a 1,000-entry phone book, an onscreen QWERTY keyboard, an accelerometer, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, voice commands, speakerphone, 189MB user memory and up to 16GB of microSD external storage. It is ultra lightweight and compact at 4.33" high by 2.08" wide by 0.51" deep and just 3.08 ounces.
The Samsung Sunburst SGH-a697 does not have many breath-taking surprises, but carries an array of functional and entertainment features. Those who want to try out the latest touch technology at a bargain price can have one more good choice in mind now.
