OVERVIEW:
Observing the evolution of the so-called mainstream class of devices is quite an interesting thing to do. About a year ago, just a few of them offered 3G or decent camera, let alone Wi-Fi - features that are currently considered pretty typical. You can find virtual gemstones in today´s golden medium class of cell phones, coming with a great number of features at affordable prices and the Samsung Monte S5620 looks like one of them, because it delivers quite a few connectivity options, 3-inch capacitive screen with WQVGA resolution, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, the latest version of the TouchWiz interface for feature phones, a great deal of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi capabilities, as well as support for Exchange ActiveSync, or integration with Google's Latitude service, which offers users the possibility to keep track of their friends' whereabouts.
