Samsung introduced latest design cell phone Samsung P310. Its touch-sensitive buttons are mounted beneath the display, so that you will definitely be keeping on unwittingly running over the display’s edge on every press, although fingerprints are mostly invisible, therefore it doesn’t bring about any troubles. But the way the sensor works is rather fancy: in stand-by mode the touch-sensitive buttons doesn’t always respond to the touch and so you have to push the key a couple of times to make it react. My attempt to find a replacement for the soft-keys resulted in a failure – these buttons take part in most interactions with the Samsung P310. Such behavior of the soft-keys and exhausting push-it-again’s, do frustrate a lot; it appears the handset’s ergonomics was missing on the developers’ to-do list.

In conditions of Moscow networks the device lasted 3 days on average at 30 minutes of calls, and other functions being inactive. At the same time should you be heavy on what the Samsung P310 brings to the table, it will put up 2 days of lifetime. Without the leather casing, the device remains good for about a day at 20-30 minutes of calls. Full charging time of the both batteries makes about 3.5 hours.

Search method of Samsung P310 is very well. There are two lines for First Name and Last Name (search is conducted only by first field), fields get summed when displayed, Name comes first. For example Raj Kumar will be shown only in this order. Length of each field is 20 characters for any supported input language. You can also switch languages on the go when entering a name.

All entries, without regard to language, are sorted out under the algorithm – all contacts with headings made in a local language (Russian, for example) go first and then those with names in English. This is rather convenient and handy list sorting system. Taking into account fast language switch option during the search, it’s clear that no language will spoil the experience of working with this phone.

Samsung P310's music player is well. Apart from phone numbers, e-mail address (there may be several of them), a little text memo can be submitted on top of all that. Any music file as well as composed MP3's can be picked as a ring tone for a contact. Three caller groups are provided by default with the possibility for creating any number of additional groups, selecting a personal melody and image for each. SMS alerts are also customizable.

Call list of Samsung P310 is very performed level. Each of the given lists contains up to 30 phone numbers. There is a combined list of all the last calls with an icon indicating a call type. Deflecting the navi-pad horizontally, you can switch quickly from one list to another. The date and the time of a call without special note of duration are displayed in extended view for separate entries. Calls from/to one number are summarized, so that a number standing next to the call specifies total amount of calls made. In order to access duration data you will need to call up detailed information on desired item. As always, the overall time of the calls and their prices can be viewed in this menu (in case the service has been enabled). Please purchase online http://www.phoneandbeyond.com
