Samsung SGH-t629

Samsung SGH-t629The new Samsung SGH-t629 comes in a slider design and is only 0.55" thin. Equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera and 4X digital zoom, the t629 lets you record video clips. The phone also comes with a video player that supports MP4 and 3GP formats..

The Samsung SGH-t629 weighs 3.20 ounces and measures 3.90 x 2.01 x 0.55 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 200 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies.

The Samsung SGH-t629 has 21mb of internal memory and has a memory card slot. The phone supports voicemail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service. The phone also supports GPRS protocol, and the newer high speed EDGE data protocol, making it easy to connect to the internet. A built-in browser allows you to surf the web, read your e-mail, and download games and ringtones from T-Mobile's t-zones service.

The Samsung SGH-t629 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics, and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Messaging clients for AOL, Yahoo!, and ICQ are included.

The 1.3 megapixel camera produces JPEG images and sports several modes, including video.  Resolution runs from 176x144 up to 1280x1024 pixels, and the 4x digital zoom brings those distant objects up close and personal at the price of some resolution.  If you want to be in the picture, the t629 has a 3, 5, and 10 second timer. Image quality is good by 1.3MP camera standards with mostly accurate colors and decent low light capabilities (though low light images lose color saturation).

If you cover action events like sports, the t629 offers a 6 and 9 picture multi-shot mode which takes that many pictures with a single button press.  Not fast enough?  Then try the 9 or 15 high speed multi-shot mode.  Want to cover a larger area?  The mosaic mode allows pictures to be knit together.

The camera software offers up special effects, changes to color tone, can put a decorative frame around  your pictures, and rotates photos, plus allows the user to control the brightness.

The camcorder mode produces 3GP formatted videos in 176x144 or 128x96 pixels.  The sound may be turned off if desired.  The other controls for modifying or tailoring pictures apply to videos as well, including the timer.
