Samsung Intercept

“With a little tweaking the Samsung Intercept is a very solid mid-range Android device. While there are some disappointments such as the lower resolution screen and lack of Rev. A, the Intercept makes up for it with a good keypad and a comfortable overall design. The Intercept is certainly no HTC EVO 4G or Samsung Epic 4G, but rather a mid-range Android device that will deliver a lot of performance for half the price of these top-tier beasts. With a pink version and a price tag just shy of $100 dollars we envision it being a strong seller in Sprint’s lineup.”

“All around, the Samsung Intercept is adequate and average. It's a nice step up for feature phone users looking for a cute, simple smartphone, but in many ways these buyers could do better without having to buy a more complicated phone. The unresponsive screen can be frustrating, especially compared to better smartphones. The camera was fine under the best conditions, but nothing to write home about. Messaging and social networking features are good, but no better than you'll find on any other Android phone. Samsung has made some adaptations to Android with the Intercept, but none of these changes make the phone any easier to use, and none of the additions, like the improved address book features, match the best adapted designs on an HTC Sense phone. There are few Android phones with a keyboard, but most of them are better than the Intercept. It's a fine enough phone, but it just doesn't live up to its promise in any way.”
