Samsung have combined music with motion - A phone to rival the Ipod

My first impression of the Samsung X830 was one of mistaken identity. I glanced across the mass of papers and Mobile News Magazines piled up on my colleges desk and asked; have you had a new MP3 player?

The rectangular device he was using had music displayed on it with the songs and artists that were playing scrolling across the display, the music was being changed using the built-in Jog-Wheel, Earphones were extruding from the side, how was I to know it was a phone, looked more like an Ipod to me.

It surprised me because I thought I knew most things about most mobile phones, but I do think I can be excused as mobile phones and MP3 players are now becoming one and the same...

Welcome to the World of Hybrids...

Mobile Phones are evolving all the time, Some follow evolution cycles and look more like PDA's than phones, some evolve into the slimmer, smaller versions of their ancestors and some turn their hand to the musical arts.

The Samsung X830 is a really good specimen of music evolution. It features a MP3 player that is compatible with the AAC (itunes & Ipod) and WMA (Windows Media player)music files, which is a fantastic feature as most dedicated music devices will only operate one type or the other.

The X830 features 1GB of internally memory which can be dedicated to music storage or combined to hold both your songs and you photos and video. Music can be controlled using the Jog-Wheel interface; this is a cool feature for operating the handset from inside the depths of your pocket. The sound quality is top rate with the only disadvantage of this phone being that it's missing that loud-speaker for playing songs out loud. Songs can be used as ring-tones but the handset is not quite a beat box, but then what Ipod model has speakers built into it?
