Samsung M260 UpStage - UK's first review

Also known as the UpStage – Samsung's M260 is a two-faced iPhone fighter. There's no news yet as to when the Samsung M260 will arrive in the UK, but as PC Advisor's Samsung M260 review shows, it will be worth the wait.

Music fans seeking a small, chic phone should take a look at Samsung M260's design and - in the US at least - its inexpensive price. See also Nokia N95 review. (click here for Apple iPhone hands on preview)

Samsung UpStage

The least pocket-filling of all the phones we checked out, the 0.4-inch-thin UpStage uses a two-faced design: a keypad on one side, media player on the

Tiny and light (2.6 ounces). Decent 1.3-megapixel camera. Included battery pack doubles as protective case. Access to Sprint TV and its Music Store; 99-cent song downloads on the go

Weak speaker. Must exit music player to access most other functions. Flipping back and forth grates, as does having to press a special button to switch between sides

Samsung Samsung UpStage M620

Clever design with great music features ; Extra battery in case

Lacks a QWERTY keyboard

This phone features an excellent music player and a unique--if ultimately impractical--two-sided design.

Review: Samsung UpStage Cell Phone

Alas, the Apple iPhone is still months away. While you're waiting, why not check out Samsung's UpStage, one of the niftiest music-oriented cell phones running,...

Ultra-portable at a nearly-Nano-sized 2.7 ounces and 4 x 1.8 x 0.4 inches. Excellent audio output; handles a wide variety of music formats and offers a decent 10.5 hours of playing time. Striking appearance really turns heads

Included 64MB microSD card is essentially useless. Weak talk time at under 3 hours. Touchy controls require lots of practice and patience. Proprietary headphone connector juts out the side. Repeated problems trying to access memory card. Difficult to...

Sprint UpStage by Samsung SPH-M620

The Samsung UpStage is a gorgeous reinvention of the music phone, but it lacks software to make it work properly.

Beautiful. Slim. Unique design.

Frustrating software.

Samsung UpStage M620 Review

The UpStage is a fashionable device that features a dual-sided candy bar design. One side is used as a phone, while the other side is for music, videos, and all other menu options. The phone is remarkably thin and light, which makes it easy to take...
