The new Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani is extravagant bronze lining combined with the blatant display of brand consciousness (thanks to the conspicuous Giorgio Armani label right on top of the screen) point to the fact that this is yet another Fashion mobile that will sell only because of the fashion-minded consumers out there. But then again, a closer look will prove that this device is more than just another run-of-the-mill Smartphone.

The Hard Facts

The only negative we have about the B7620 is that it is quite bulky. With the vital stats of 118.5 x 58.3 x 16.4 mm, it’s a bit bigger than most typical Smartphones in the market. Its 164-gram weight also makes it a bit on the heavy side. Nonetheless, the overall look and feel of this stylish device is able to make up for this mini hitch.

The 3.5-inch resistive touch screen display comes with Samsung’s famed AMOLED technology which makes it quite a treat for users. It works wonderfully well with the side slide-out QWERTY keyboard which also happens to exude Style and sophistication.

Under the hood of this beauty is a powerful 800 MHz processor which has been manufactured by Samsung themselves. The CPU combines well with the 512 MB ROM and 256 MB RAM to guarantee a smooth and silky ride for all users.

The Soft Spot

The software present in the B7620 is another strongpoint for the device. Samsung made sure that the powerful processor is put to good use as they have selected Windows Mobile (yet again) as their OS of choice. However, their deep customization of version 6.1 of the mobile OS should cast a shadow on any doubters or critics of this rather unimpressive operating system. Samsung’s celebrated TouchWiz user interface is also on board which makes for an excellent UI + OS combination once again.

The B7620 also holds a number of handy applications that make the device even more impressive. The usual Smart apps are on board including a mobile web browser, a GPS program (Route 66), camera and video apps, as well as a user-friendly multimedia application, to name a few. However, what makes this device unique is the addition of Giorgio Armani fashion application which, although more fun than functional, should satisfy the cravings of fashion-starved consumers out there.

The Verdict

The Samsung B7620 Giorgio Armani isn’t going to be cheap. However, if you have the money to spend then why not go for it. This device is perfect for those who are looking to make a statement with their mobile phone, while at the same time still searching for a device that will provide for their mobile needs. Its design is unquestionably top of the line and it is backed up with a decent set of hardware and software features. Although it may not be up to par with the likes of the iPhone in terms of performance, it is still a breath of fresh air considering the fact that it falls in the category of fashion mobile.
