A funky handset that’s fun to use

The keypad is a little small for accurate or rapid use.

This is hardly an alternative to the iPhone, with its basic features, small screen and bright design, but as a budget handset for messaging, social networking youngsters, it’s funky and fits the bill perfectly.

This fun handset should strike the right note with younger users.

HSDPA. Wi-Fi and a QWERTY keyboard make the ; Samsung Genio Slide ; a social networker’s dream.

Disappointingly, the resistive touch-screen was is neither accurate or smooth.

The Samsung Genio Slide fulfils the potential that we felt the Touch never really reached. Okay, the resistive touch-screen isn’t the best, but the QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA internet speeds and Wi-Fi connectivity make this a great social networking phone....
