SGH-F200 is the newest member from Samsung F music series. If seen from the number, this is the most economical solution compared to its brother: F300 and F500. Music player ability of course becomes the main appeal. But whose expects if its design which draw the attention.
F200 is also recognized as swivel phone. Concept like this has been carried by Sony Ericsson S700. But the miracle of F200 is not only centered at its swivel axis. Its camouflage as portable music player successfully closes over its phone impression. All because the detail designs, small size and its supporting display.
The main point, F200 is a candybar phone. But because it axis, we also can call it as swivel phone. Its size is the smallest one if compared to the other phones. Especially in stand by condition (swivel is closed).
In closed swivel condition, we can get a number of navigators for music. In it front side there is D-Pad at the same time functioning as multimedia button. We can access music file, play and full controls it with this button.
In it side part, we can find two function keys that across each other. Each will function like softkey button at phone, as supporting facilities to opening music menu and browsing file. But this button only functioned when phone in standby and music on condition.
As a phone with slide form, hence it screen can be made to fulfills the face area. But because this phone longitudinal section is small, hence it screen is made small. Its diagonal size is 1.46 inches and has 128 x 220 pixel resolution.
F200 interface is also unique. It can be felt when we can only access music from main menu button (open swivel), but you must close the swivel to enjoy it.
Samsung SGH-F200 is phone which camouflage to become a music player. Surely, music feature becomes the main feature.
If it compared to Samsung MP3 player which available in the market, F200 form is much supported. Alike instead! And so with its ability to play a number of music formats.
Music function domination becomes the F200 main menu. It’s acceptable if we call it a phone in camouflage. On the contrary with the addition of network phone and Bluetooth, surely this is not a common portable music player. It’s attractive enough combination.

The swivel function sounds very good to me.Music is an absolute necessity in the phone...so when that is supported better it works fine with me.
