Samsung Eternity Features

Samsung Eternity Features Hey guys, Jon Rettinger with Jon4lakers.com here with some feature highlights for you of the Samsung Eternity for AT&T wireless so I hope you guys can be able to see this. I turned the brightness all the way down on our device. So first unlock it, you can push any button and there's the unlock button at the top and you hit it. And usually, you’re taken to this main home screen right here. Now what’s very cool about the Samsung Eternity is that it uses the Samsung called the Touch Wiz Interface which is essentially widget-based interface. So you can see right here, I've got the date, sound profiles and TV icon and you can actually set what you want to have on your home screen. You drag ti over to that widget bar and it disappears. And these are all the widgets that you choose from. You have many choices; clocks, calendars, some TV stuff, birthday reminders. Let’s say there's a music player right here. I can drag that right out. Shows up on my home screen and I can move it anywhere I want. If I don’t want that it anymore, throw it over and get rid of it and you can move to any other choice that you like. So, you can pick calendar, pull it out there. I have a full calendar. Want it gone? And it’s gone. This one I found very useful, Sound Profiles it is a really easy way to switch between ring and vibrate and all kind of that stuff. And the widgets the way it flows very smooth. Every time I'm touching the screen, you guys can t see it but I get a little bit of a buzz with haptic feedback. This is actually the first one where I thought haptic feedback has been very well done. The vibrations is actually nice and settle. Doesn’t shake the entire thing and it really does give the impression of pushing the buttons. Now I should mention one thing. During my un-boxing, I thought the screen might have been capacitive similar to touch screen on the iPhone meaning there's no much to it. This is one is actually resistive so there's a little bit of a squishy feeling but not bad not at all. So let me show you some of the cool things about the device. First, let’s go to menu, so this is very simple menu. There's no scrolling or anything here but everything you need is nice and easily accessible. You have your AT&T GPS. But the cool thing that I haven’t seen yet is TV so let me show you what this looks like here. Launching Mobile TV and here, it is on comedy central actually watching live comedy central right now. Hit the button, you can zoom into full screen. Tap the screen again. It should give a full channel line up and some channels are live and some of them are pre-recorded. The ESPN is live, there's college football so go ahead and find the channel you want to see. Tap on it just like using your remote control. Here is college football, Northern Illinois versus Louisiana Tech. There is a whole bunch of channels here, comedy central, ESPN, MSNBC, NBC, FOX, CBS and some dedicated internet television channels. Nickelodeon is here, CNBC, so they got kids. It’s a great way to entertain for us in a little while or even yourself if you’re sitting there waiting. So you got movies, heres Kung Fu Hustle being play on picks. You know very cool actually the picture; lets turn this off so you guys can hear me. The pictures are actually very good and extremely watchable. And it looks nice and vibrant on the screen. So one things you guys are probably concern about with an all touch screen device is how you do input, how do you text, how do you anything. So let me show you guys that we’re going to messaging and now well tap. And now you’ve got you’re normal phone keyboard. You can either turn on to nine or turn it off. And you just tap and this phone does have an accelerometer in it. So I'll turn it up and you get a keyboard and I got to say this keyboard is actually probably the best touch screen I have ever used. That includes the iPhone; that includes the Blackberry Storm or any other touch screen phone that I’ve used the AT&T fuse. It is fantastic, it s big, it’s spacious and when you try and touch the key. It comes out to the side what letter you’re typing. So I'm hitting G right there and coming up to the right. Lets me know what I'm typing and it’s extremely accurate. And you can set it for T9 if you like and it will actually correct your words, and fill the words for you. And this is extremely easy to use so let me give you a demonstration here. Let me type, “Hi my name is Jon” and let see how this goes. So it wasn’t entirely accurate but it was pretty close. As far as accurate I have since the iPhone, so when you hold down delete. It will actually delete everything for you if you’d like, very nice very well done and really impressive. The keyboard on this is actually fantastic and every time you touch a key, it pulls up the haptic feedback so you really do get the vibration feel. If you want to go with your touch keyboard, just put it up. Now this is just what’s considered a feature phone. It’s not a smart phone but it’s actually your imagination and it’s got a built in java client but not going to be very useful for you if e-mail are big thing for you. If that is important, I definitely don’t recommend this phone but if you will prefer this as a featured phone something that’s going to make good phone calls, good text messaging and it has internet browser. Oh this is actually a great choice. Speaking if internet browser, let me show you guys what does looks like right here. We are going to media net, enter the URL and we will go Jon4lakers.com. Once you guys see how it loads and everything you can get chance to see if this device is for you. There is a dedicated .com button in the dedicated www button which is nice. Okay, here it go and it’s off and you can switch views and actually it is a very responsive accelerometer actually one of the more responsive ones I've seen. I think much more responsive than even the Blackberry Storm. So I've got three bars of 3G here so it should be relativity quick. Let see what this looks like. There it is loading up. And as you can see, its loading a full HTML version of the page and you can scroll around with your finger. And the scrolling is very smooth. It’s not choppy but it’s not going to zoom in. You can’t double it tap to zoom in on things. So there's a article, I can't double tap. The only way you can zoom is to hit that and you get a little icon right there or you can scroll how far you want to zoom or zoom in zoom out. It is actually a very decent browser. I'm actually very surprised with it. It’s not going to do any flash. You’re not going to be able to play YouTube videos on it. But for simple web browsing, it really is very robust in full feature. So again another nice feature about this phone. One other thing I should mention, it’s something that’s unique on feature phones. This one actually has a proximity sensor built in. So when you’re using a touch screen or making a phone call and you hold it up to your head, there's a sensor up top much like the iPhone and it will actually turn off the screen light up to your ear. It is very nice. You’re not going to accidentally dial your mom or look up some contacts or launch TV. We have it up to your head. It turns off the screen, you pull it away from your head and the screen comes back on. So we’ll go back here on the main screen. Hit the back button. I've been very impressed with this phone so far. Scrolling is very smooth and fluid. And for resistive screen which is usually very difficult to do, this one actually does it the best. Resistive screen-wise is the probably the best implementation of smooth scrolling, internet browsing and text entering that I've seen on any phone. So I can definitely recommend this. But keep in mind like I said before, this is clearly not a smart phone and it’s not geared to the smart phone market. It does have an IM client built in. It’s more meant for individuals that are just looking for a phone with some additional benefits. If you’re looking for internet browsing, you’re looking for maybe for some entertainment value in the TV, barely anything more than that. If internet is not important to you, you just want a phone for fun; this is a fantastic device that I can definitely recommend. So guys this is Jon Rettinger with jon4lakers.com here with some feature highlights of the AT&T Eternity. I'll do a full review on it little bit later. You guys got a sample of my opinions but I just wanted to show you some of the cool dates on it. Anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed. I’ll see you next the video. Bye-bye.
