As well as a versatile media player,The Samsung Monte Is A Perfect Choice For Social Networkers Articles a stereo FM radio player and a range of pre-installed and downloadable games are provided to keep users entertained. Social networking integration with live updates keeps users informed about their friends and family whilst on the move and is sure to be a popular feature. An image editor, Google Maps and an organiser add to the everyday functionality of the Samsung Monte.

The digital camera is 3.15 mega pixels (2048x1536 pixel resolution) so the quality of still photos is very good. Geo-tagging and smile detection are some other included functions of the camera.  It can also shoot video in CIF quality at a frame rate of 15 per second.

EDGE and GPRS (both class 10 versions) are the primary means of connection to cellular networks. The internet connection in areas covered by 3G is available at speeds of up to 3.6 Mega bytes per second thanks to a HSDPA connection. A faster connection can be gained by utilising Wi-Fi connectivity in areas where a wireless internet router is located.  Bluetooth and USB provide the means to connect to other devices such as phones and computers for carrying out tasks such as file transfers.

Vibration and MP3 ringtones alert users to incoming calls and messages, and allow users to customise their handset so they can hear the song of their choice whenever the phone rings. As well as an audio jack, handsfree communication is achieved thanks to a speakerphone system. This has superb sound quality thanks to DNSe (Digital Natural Sound Engine).

The Samsung Monte relies on a 3 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen for navigation of menus. This offers great quality display of on screen content thanks to a pixel layout of 240x400 displaying 256,000 colours.

For storage of data such as music tracks and video clips, 200MB of internal storage is provided. Should further storage be required, for example to store an entire music collection, a micro SD slot can accommodate a memory card of up to 16 GB.

The dimensions of the Samsung S5620 Monte are 108.8x53.7x12.4mm and the weight is just 92 grams, making it a pleasure to hold and use on the move. With its black colour scheme and large touch screen, it is easy to see the appeal of the Samsung Monte.
