Can you help me with Samsung Rugby 2 reviews?


I am looking for a cell phone with all latest multimedia applications in it. I am willing to have a cell phone with user friendly operating system and all high end features but I am totally confused that with which brand I should go (HTC, Nokia, Samsung, LG, and Sony). Apart from that my budget doesn’t allow me to spend more than $300. One of my friends suggested me to go for Samsung Rugby II, which do fit in my budget. I really like his idea and therefore I am looking out for some reviews regarding Samsung Rugby II?

The good: The Samsung Rugby II is a durable, comfortable and a solid feature set. It builds on its predecessor by adding voice dialing and enhanced performance.
The bad: The Rugby II has a standard headphone jack and Samsung hides the memory card slot behind the battery of the phone.
The bottom line: The Samsung Rugby II improves upon its predecessor and offers a functional and sturdy phone with satisfactory performance.
"Stick with what works" seems to be the subject of the II Samsung Rugby from AT & T.Both the design and features of the Rugby II, also known as the SGH-A847 is almost identical to the first phone Rugby Sammy. You will find that they share the same robust design and a strong focus on communication with the support of AT & T, push-to-talk network. Fortunately, the Rugby II offers better call quality of its predecessor and adds the important role of voice dialing. However, downward, with the Rugby II, Samsung still forces you to use a standard headphone jack. The Rugby II costs $ 99 with a two-year contract, you do not want a contract that will pay $ 249 for the full price of the phone.
Design
If you put the Rugby II next to the Rugby, I bet it would not be able to distinguish them. The Rugby II has a different color scheme (silver and black face and black burgundy) and is slightly larger, but the rest of your design elements are the same. The large speaker above the external display is designed for PTT calls, the ribbed sidings give the phone a comfortable feel in the hand, and hard plastic skin must have a lot of punches. Rugby II is slightly larger (4.01 inches long by 2.05 in wide by 0.86 inches deep) that rugby is, but at 3.52 ounces, is a little lighter.
The 2.2-inch internal display supports 262,000 colors. That's a little bigger than the screen so that Rugby appreciate the extra space. It is bright and vibrant with sharp graphics and readable. You can select one of two easy to use menu styles and you can adjust the brightness, backlighting time and the dialing font, size, type and color.
Features
As mentioned, the Rugby II shares many of the characteristics of rugby is. Let's quickly review for the uninitiated before diving into the changes. You will find a 1000-telephone contact with multiple fields for each entry, support for AT & T function address book, six polyphonic ringtones (at best miserable), text and multimedia messaging, a wide solid organizer features, instant messaging, and Web-based POP3 e-mail support for a variety of vendors.
Rugby II is also support for stereo Bluetooth, USB mass storage, PC syncing, AT & T's Video Share application, and the AT & T PTT for walkie-talkie calls to other compatible phones with AT & T. For GPS, you not only get access to AT & T Navigator, but AT & T Family Map, AllSport GPS, Loopt, Where, Trimble Outdoors, TeleNav Track, and GPS TimeTrack. Note that these services require an additional cost.
