display boasts of a resolution of 128 by 32 pixels. Furthermore, the 1.3 megapixel camera also allows users to record video into the phone.

This handset measures 3.5 x 1.8 x 0.7 inches, and it weighs just 2.7 ounces–small but cheap-feeling. On the outside of the glossy black shell is a 96 x 96-pixel OLED display, as well as iPod-like playback controls ringed by a lime-green speaker. The camera lens (with 4X digital zoom) is just above the screen, but there’s no flash. On the right side is a covered

The most obvious feature on the outside of the Beat is the bright green speaker grille that surrounds a music oriented d-pad controller. The small, square external color display located above the music controls provides status and music player information. It is reasonably bright and colorful. A ‘hold’ button on the right hand side of the phone can be used to lock or unlock the music controls as well as flip back and forth between the music player screen and the time/signal/battery screen

RevivaTech Reviews Though Samsung and T-Mobile emphasize the SGH-T539’s prowess (that’s why they call it the Beat) its music player isn’t too exciting. The minimalist interface offers you nothing in the way of visualizations or album art, and the features are limited to shuffle and repeat models. That said, the music quality was decent thanks to the external speaker. The volume output was admirable, but the audio lacks much depth. Yet we like that you can send music files via Bluetooth.

Summary-:

The good: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat offers decent call quality and great battery life. It also comes with a solid feature set including Bluetooth, voice dialing, and an external memory slot.

The bad: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat’s music player and overall design was uninspiring. Also, its flat keys hampered usability.

The bottom line: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat does its primary job well, but it’s not the most exciting music phone in T-Mobile’s stable.
