Review: Samsung P207
SmartPhoneToday is all over the Samsung P207 cell phone, with many pictures and a pretty nice little review. The most interesting feature of the P207 is its speech to text capabilities which are reviewed as well.
The majority of mobile phone buyers evidently believe that small is beautiful. Despite the obvious functional advantages of bigger, chunkier PDA phones, most will opt every time for little bitty phones.
The trouble is, tiny phones with tiny numeric keypads and tiny screens make it very difficult to enter text for SMS messages, e-mails or to add data to address books or to-do lists. The only text input method available on most involves pressing numeric keys once, twice or three times to select one of the alphabetical characters associated with it. Users eventually get used to it, but this makes for v-e-r-y slow input.
The Samsung p207, a tiny trimode GSM/EDGE camera phone available from Cingular Wireless and in Canada from Rogers Wireless, does not entirely solve this problem, but it goes part of the way—far enough to make it intriguing as a model for future products.
The p207’s claim to fame is that it is one of the first mobile phones, if not the first, to offer built-in speech-to-text capabilities. We tested the p207 on the Rogers network.
