    Samsung M7500 Giorgio Armani Mobile Phone

    Samsung has once been joined by Armani on the team, and created a new design phone: Samsung Armani M7500 Night Effect. Unlike its predecessor, Emporio Armani P520, M7500 is a phone the man in the street can afford, with an acceptable price for Rs.20800.


    Small and lightweight

    M7500 is far from any fighting. With a thickness of 1.2 centimeters and a weight of 90 grams of small pockets should not be any obstacle. The phone is generally the same size as most other phones with the same specifications.

    Everyone should know that Armani is in the Room

    You will soon discover that the phone is designed to attract notice. On the left side you will find that small LED light that flashes Armani logo to those who had to be nearby when the phone rings.

    The lights will flash in red, green or blue, and it's dim lighting in the premises it would be very hard to miss incoming messages or calls.

    LED lights are the way, the reason why the phone has been given the name "Night Effect" if you would be in doubt about it.

    If you think that flashing lights in bright colors are a bit harry, you can thankfully turn off this feature in the menus.


    Music Keys and proper audio output

    On this phone, Samsung has placed more useful details, such as dedicated keys for music playback and volume.

    You can also find an audio output of the type of 3.5 mm, so that you can use your favorite headphones when listening to music. This alone can be a reason to look into this phone, as many manufacturers forcing you to use junky, supplied earbuds.

    If you take the cover you'll find a slot for Micro SD memory card, so you can see more music, photos and other snacks. It adheres to a memory card with a capacity of 1 GB in the box.


    You should wish to get more memory than this, you can get a card with 4 GB for under 8 hundred rupees.

    Samsung also has a hidden port for Micro-USB under a plastic flap. This is used both for file transfer and for charging the phone.

    And yes: You can charge the phone using a standard USB cable and a computer. Simple Pleasures in life call this phenomenon, which should never be underestimated.

    Good build quality

    When Samsung warehouse design phones, adding the great weight on qualifying it with feeling. M7500 has, admittedly, a cheap feel about it compared with the Bang & Olufsen phone and the previous Armani model, but still feels solid, and it hangs well together.

    You also do away disobedient when clamps on the phone.


    Number keys are completely flat, and there is no elaboration or else that distinguishes them from each other. This makes it tend to depress two keys simultaneously, and you must often look down on the keyboard when you type text messages.

    Music keys also glow

    The screen of the phone has been given a size of 2.2 inches, and has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This gives a crisp and clean image, while you have completely ok overview of what you're doing.

    The menu of the phone is easy to understand for themselves, so either experienced or fresh mobile users should have trouble navigating through to the desired functions. We noted, however, that the menus were somewhat "sticky" compared with the phones in the same class. Slow pace is not to irritate you over them, so unless you are extremely impatient so there is little to fear here.

    Call quality is quite ok

    As the most important feature for most people buy a mobile phone are call options, it is fine if the phone delivers good sound in the conversations. Sound quality in the M7500 can be best described as "all right", without being impressed. You do not separate from suse sounds in the background, but you will not have trouble hearing what is being said in the other end. Nor we spoke with during the test period had any complaints to servers.

    But we've heard better than this, ie.

    We like to think that we are using cell phone about as often as any other Indian, and with this consumption kept the battery out about two days before we had to charge the phone. Battery life is acceptable, but not more than that.

    Quick on the Internet

    Design phones most have nice little technology to show off, but the M7500 is not a sink in the front.

    With support for all four GSM bands, you can call in any country that has GSM coverage, and in Japan or other countries that use the 3G network to receive calls also called home and prepared status reports.

    With the Edge, 3G and HSDPA (Super 3G) in addition you have always access to the fastest Internet connection speeds that are available where ever you are.

    Basic e-mail

    The phone offers for both e-mail with support for POP, IMAP4 and SMTP, so you can both send and receive e-mail directly to the phone without going through the browser. E-mail is somewhat cluttered, and as far from orderly and practical as the smart phones, but it sufficient for single use.

    The browser that comes with the phone is powered by NetFront, and works fairly smoothly. However, it can not measure up to editorial favorite, Opera Mini. To get Opera Mini point you simply accompanying your browser to operamini.com, and select "download". Two minutes later you're going with a fit and better browser.

    A disadvantage here is that you can not move the shortcut to Opera Mini in the main menu, so you must enter the "Games and diverse" folder each time you surf the net.

    Good straightforward calendar and address book

    Address book in the phone can store up to 1000 contacts, and each of these can be attributed to a wealth of details. Among other things, you can save e-mails, several phone numbers, birthdays, and a picture.

    The calendar can display week numbers, and can appear in the day-week, or month mode. You can save the normal amount of notes associated with the alarm, and you can also get the information about missed alarm events, in case you should be gone from the phone a few hours.

    Have the necessary items

    M7500 has all the new features you'd expect from a mobile phone in this class. You can find the alarm clock, calendar, bookmarks, task list, world clock, stopwatch, countdown timer, calculator and conversion calculator. In addition, you have the opportunity to address the voice clip using your voice.

    General phone package approved a new features, and a good dose of technology as well. You will not have Wi-Fi or GPS, but this is the features that usually require you to go up in both size and price.

    Re: Samsung M7500 Giorgio Armani Mobile Phone

    Some of the first things we noticed when we held the phone for the first time, was that it had both the output of the 3.5 mm plug and separate keys for music playback. Evidence indicates that the Samsung has added a lot of emphasis on music functionality when they designed the phone.

    Good mobile phone

    And the M7500 does not disappoint. Here you will find a sound and good music library, you view the songs that are played directly on the start screen and you switch easily between different songs using the music keys on the side of the phone.

    Sound quality is not bad, not even with the earpiece that comes with. The volume can be set high price that can irritate the rest of the world, and sound almost as rich as on an Ipod Nano.

    If you are not very choosy, you will in other words, be pleased with both sound quality and ease of use here, and we have no problems with recommending M7500 if you are looking for a small and pretty good phone with music capabilities.

    You can also play music via the built-in speaker, but this is not something to do with the exception of emergency cases - which in fact applies to all phones.

    Five Play

    The phone comes with five games, but when all these are demo versions are not many minutes of entertainment you have here. However, there is no reason to buy the full versions, if you wish.

    Java performance on the phone in the middle of the tree. You will not have problems playing some java games, but be prepared for the more advanced titles do not necessarily go smoothly.

    Daylight Camera

    M7500 is one of the few camera phones we've seen that comes with flash. As Samsung has dropped the photo light, that is the most likely option here is okay, because it rarely contributes to the particularly good photos. But you can not take pictures in the dark.

    The camera, however, have received a wealth of adjustment possibilities. Here you can set everything from white balance to the brightness and the point of exposure measurement. In addition, the modes for a variety of situations, and opportunities to add on the effects, if you wish. All in all a nice selection of settings for such a simple camera.

    The camera has autofocus, otherwise, and you can take photos in up to three megapixels.

    The results we got are a good distance under a normal compact. The camera in particular is struggling to expose the sky properly, and things are very fast burned out. The colors were also somewhat paler than they are in reality. That said, it is no problem to take sharp pictures, so if you are not very choosy on the backgrounds and vivid colors, you'll get documented incidents that occur in daylight.

    Re: Samsung M7500 Giorgio Armani Mobile Phone

    M7500 Giorgio Armani Mobile Phone, Samsung's latest attempt to create a design phone with the Italian fashion icon. And the result is not the worst.

    M7500 has a nice style and clean appearance, and the phone is small to fit in most pockets. It gives you not see the same exclusive feel as its predecessor P520 Armani, but it also costs less than half.

    See! An Armani-phone!

    The name "Night Effect" playing on one of the phone's design features: It has LEDs on the sides, and flashes Armani logo in red, green or blue when you receive calls or text messages.

    Some will not appreciate that everyone within 20 meters radius know what phone you are talking, while others will praise the Lord that it actually is possible to disable this feature.

    Smooth taste sets

    The minimalist design has unfortunately an annoyance in your luggage. Taste the set is actually quite flat, and you can not find the slightest indication to distinguish between the number keys. This means that you will have to look down while you write text messages while it is just too easy to press two keys simultaneously. If you are looking for a good SMS phone should therefore steer away from this phone.

    Feature-wise the M7500 on a par with any other phone in the class. With both Edge and super-3G you can surf the net wherever there is coverage, and always achieve the maximum speed that can be delivered where you are. You also get all the new features you'd expect from a phone in this class.

    We notice that the menus have a tendency to "hang a little", but this is a very big problem.

    The sound quality of conversations can be best described as "quite okay". You do not completely separate from a little shed ring and whisper, while you do not want to have problems with hearing what is being said.

    Good in music

    Music opportunities are perhaps the strongest card the phone is on. With your own music keys, the output of the normal 3.5 mm minijack and a sound quality that is comparable to the most "normal" MP3 players have this phone what it takes to deliver a daily dose of music on the go.

    You also get a memory card of 1 GB, so you have space for a album from day one. But it is not some animal action to upgrade the memory, then today you get a memory card with capacities of 4 GB for under a hundred kronor.

    Other multimedia features are so that. The screen is a bit too small to view videos, at least those that last longer than a couple of minutes, while the camera takes pictures that you do not want the photo album, but that still works to document the little things in life. Provided that the life takes place in daylight.

    Not for all

    All in all, M7500 deletion stupid phone, despite some weaknesses. For many will not only to have the Armani logo for 2600 dollars be worth the investment, and those who are just looking for a pretty and useful mobile phone also get a nice package here.

    If you are indifferent to the Armani-piston, there are however a number of better buy out there. Sony Ericsson W350 is a raw mobile phone, and costs exactly half as much as the M7500. However, you must sacrifice the high Internet speeds, and the screen is not as good. Nokia 5310 is still a good buy for those who are looking for music opportunities, and at the same time will have a small and nice phone. This will cost not more than 1500 dollars today. Are you looking for the most functionality for the money, the Nokia 6210 Navigator, a very good choice. This phone has most of the technology and features, and is in the exact same price as the Samsung M7500.
