My user review over a cup of Cafe Latte...
It's cold outside. Rain is dropping on the grey asphalt. It's time for a cup of coffee and today's news. The Samsung SGH A800 in matt-finished silver lies on the table, next to it a newspaper.
Recreation from work. Linear design with a rectangular screen in blue color with an oval frame ...all that reminds me of my next project. I examine the Samsung SGH A800 and discover a white crescent-shaped light emitting diode under the screen. It can change its color according to stand-by modus and incoming phone calls. The Samsung SGH A800 can glimmer in blue, orange, violet, green, yellow, white and turquoise color.
The Samsung SGH A800 indicates today's date on its outside screen. Damn! I still gotta call that guy from the advertising agency, John was his name I think. His name is kept in the telephone book, the Samsung SGH A800 is my planner at the same time. Up to 2000 entries can be saved in the telephone book, which can be arranged according to groups: mobile, private, office, e-mail etc. By the way, it just struck me, the Samsung SGH A800 is the first Samsung that features a dynamic memory. Same with the high-capacity calculator of the Samsung SGH A800.
Okay. I gotta access the Samsung SGH A800 now and open it. The flashy light of the keys is kinda annoying again - "Hey John, it's me..."
I hope the battery lasts. The guy talks and talks. But okay. Charged today in the morning the battery will last for two days in its stand-by modus and two hours of talk time. Charging the Samsung SGH A800 takes about three hours. In any case that's slower than my old Porsche Carerra 911. And the guy doesn't wanna stop talking!
Finally! My nerves, my nerves! The battery of the Samsung SGH A800 is still full. These 20 minutes were really long and kinda exhausting, since the reception quality wasn't steadily good. My day shall continue now, that guy was enough work for today. Another sip of the Cafe Latte. I adjust my headset to the mobile and put it aroung my neck, coz I don't miss the phone call from the print shop. I swing myself on my bike and off I am to work.
