Hands-on (once more, with feeling) with the Samsung Highnote
Filed under: Handsets, Features, Samsung, Sprint, EV-DO, CDMA
After a brief interlude at CTIA earlier this year, we’ve had another chance to play around with Samsung’s funky little Highnote for Sprint recently, so we wanted to give our quick, stream-of-consciousness thoughts on what this music-focused dual slider is all about. The phone’s claim to fame is its hidden integrated loudspeaker for blasting tunes, which can be exposed by sliding the front downward (a la Nokia N95 and the like). While we found the speaker to be loud and reasonably clear enough for occasional impromptu dance parties, we didn’t think it was any louder than similar handsets that have more traditional mono or stereo loudspeakers integrated into the body of the phone. In other words, the dual slide is a bit of a gimmick here.
