The world never stops from following its natural course, even if sometimes it seems that everything it’s messed up, going in the wrong way. It doesn’t matter that a couple of days ago it was still the holiday time. Some people don’t seem to bother themselves in order to give this special moment a little bit of attention. It doesn’t matter that the economic crisis is the worst enemy of human beings all over the world. There are still lots of people who are not affected by the recession and who will never be.
In the given context, there’s no surprise for anyone that cell phones manufacturers, for example, mind their own business, as if there was nothing to knock them down. As if they were indestructible. Look at the numerous handsets that were announced, unveiled, released in these first days of the new year and you will surely understand.
Samsung, for example, has just released a new clamshell, which was presented to the public under the name of SCH-r470 or TwoStep. Aimed at multimedia features addicts (or enthusiasts, whatever you might want to call them), the Samsung TwoStep is a basic phone that won’t impress you if you’re into high-end devices. This is why it comes with a very affordable price, which makes it a quite interesting option in these difficult times.
The TwoStep is equipped with a music player that comes with easy-to-use music controls, stereo speakers, a microSD card for expandable memory of up to 8GB. Other features of this Samsung clamshell phone include: a 2 inch TFT internal display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 262K colors, a 1.3 megapixel cameraSMS and MMS capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity and voice recognition services.
Measuring 3.58 x 1.77 x 0.75 inches and weighing 3.6 ounces, the flip phone provides up to 3 hours of talk time and up to 10 days of stand-by time. Samsung TwoStep is already available for purchasing from U.S. Cellular, one of the largest American providers. And, with a two year agreement, it will cost you only $49.95.
