Samsung Monte Slider

Samsung Monte Slider Review

Samsung has always done well producing phones at a competitive price, and it was one of the first to bring out a slide phone. Which bodes well for the Monte Slider doesn't it? Well, it certainly looks that way at first glance. It's aimed at those on a budget, has a good build quality and is compact enough to slip into a pocket or small bag. Its glossy coating may look a tad cheap, and its slide function is not as smooth as that on other Samsung handsets, but then it wins out on low price. The Monte Slider is light as well as petite, yet it boasts a large keyboard with user-friendly keys. On the front of the device you'll find the usual set of Samsung keys - that is Send, End and direction pad, along with two keys that change their function depending on what you're doing. There's a pleasant simplicity to the rest of the device - you'll find no showy effects or extra buttons. The only slightly odd thing is the large writing on the back, which tells you about the camera resolution - and as it's only 1.3 megapixels you wouldn't think they'd want to shout about it.
