The Samsung SGH-ZX20 offers decent call quality
and comes with a full range of features including support for high-speed
networks, world phone capability, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. Though the Samsung SGH-ZX20 offers some cool features and solid performance, its mundane design doesn't do them justice.Back
in January, when we first saw Samsung SGH-ZX20 at CES, we have to admit
we took notice. Sure, the design wasn't particular impressive, and it
paled in comparison to the company's Korean-market handsets, but the
prospect of a 3.5G
HSDPA handset from a U.S. carrier was exciting. Yet seven months later,
we can safely say that much of that initial excitement has worn off.
Not only did we have to wait a long time for the SGH-ZX20, but in the
meantime LG beat Samsung to the punch with the LG CU500.
And though the SGH-ZX20 delivers on its promised features, the CU500's
sharper design is better suited to the advanced multimedia capabilities
both phones share. On the upside, the SGH-ZX20 is fairly priced at $149
with a two-year contract. It's difficult not to use the word but when discussing the Samsung SGH-ZX20's design. For example, we give Samsung props for not pumping out yet another Razr
imitator, but the SGH-ZX20 is far from eye-catching. We like its
compact shape, but we aren't in love with the small and uninspiring
internal display.
