Unhappily, price which offered by 3G phone majority is expensive in price. The presence of Samsung J200 which sold in $100 price range is might be the alternative solution for 3G phone limited budget consumer.

In a flash this phone is alike Samsung E590. Starts from its body dint to keypad composition are so identical. But, the J200 keypad display impressed simpler. Alphanumeric button compiled to be more flat, with bigger dimension. This numeral / letter button path is also made closer. A few disturbing when applied to type the message.

Through the length 10,3 cm, wide 4,45 cm and thickness 1, 55 cm, Samsung SGH-J200 can be said small. Can be described alike Nokia 3110 classic, but tinier. Its body side is also less of shape. Comfort enough to grab.

The J200 screen resolution is not big, limited to 176x220 pixels. Standard values for display of middle class phone. Of course the displays don’t have soft appearance like other high-end phone has. But at least it’s not disappointing. It’s because the existence of TFT 262.144 colors technology.

Similar to Z170 and other mid class newest phone of Samsung, SGH-J200 has interface with “black GUI” code, where the main menu background compiled over dominant black color. Menu icons presented simple, what accompanied by attractive color effect. J200 don’t have skin feature like Nokia/Motorola. So black GUI element applies patent, cannot be changed. Only wallpaper which able to be changed. While for ringtone, J200 can play mp3/aac/m4a as replacement of polyphonic 64 channels.

Its ability supports 3G network. UMTS is top feature of Samsung SGH-J200. There, third generation service for example video call can be accommodated. Data transfer access is reaching 385 Kbps.

Camera at J200 has 1,3 megapixel resolution. The maximum picture dimension which able to be taken is 1280 x 1024 pixels. When transferred to PC, the photo result of J200 camera can be said good for 1,3 megapixel camera class. Photo detail can be catch goodly. The contrast and its color gradation are pretty fair. Even if compared to the photo result of SGH-Z170 and LG KU250, photo result of J200 still better.

Music player feature become top facilities of Samsung J200. Unhappily, this phone doesn’t equip by alternative feature for example FM radio. Its musical ability is good, even without support from media equalizer.

Access line of Samsung J200 data / file transfer held by Bluetooth and data cable port. But, data cable not figured in sale package. SGH-J200 Bluetooth performance can be pledged. If compared to Bluetooth of Z170, J200 still better. The reason is J200 already applied version v2.0. Not v1.2. Samsung J200 Bluetooth has supported A2DP profile, so can be used to send music to compatible Bluetooth stereo headset.
