Samsung Comeback

The Samsung Comeback should be called the Samsung Comeback In 10 Minutes. The phone was sluggish in almost every way, from simply opening messages to browsing the Web, belying its 3G Internet connection. It was also confusing to use, thanks to the maze-like interface with its redundant choices and counterintuitive feature placements. Where’s the GPS navigator? Oh right, under “Organizer,” with the voice dialing app. Some aspects frustrated us, and some were downright lousy, like the nearly useless external display and the strange, tic-tac keys on the full-QWERTY keyboard. The Samsung Comeback would have been a decent messaging phone a year ago, but can’t match the competitors’ current offerings in the budget segment. If T-Mobile is your preferred carrier and price doesn’t matter, the Sidekick LX 2009 offers a more compelling messaging experience. Release: July 2009. Price: $130.

Pros: Cool colors. Nice camera. HTML Web browser. Good GPS navigation.

Cons: Sluggish at almost every task, even e-mail. Keyboard tough to use. External screen is very low quality.
