This phone was released shortly after the very similar T401g Net10 phone, and it also includes a Qwerty keyboard. Besides the keyboard, it has an mp3 player and 1.3 megapixel camera, very similar to the T401g. However, the r451c does Not include a camcorder.
The slide-out Qwerty keyboard is a big selling point for many citizen who are considering this phone. This keyboard has four rows of keys, which are a soft rubbery material.
I haven't used this phone quite as much as I use the T401g, but on whether phone I do like the expanding of the Qwerty keyboard. Especially if you do a lot of texting, it will probably save you some time. Like I mentioned in my T401g review, though, using the Qwerty pretty much requires using two hands to text. Of course, if you want to text one-handed you can always keep the slider terminated and use the quarterly keypad with T9 predictive text.
Now, I'll give a report of the other buttons on the Samsung r451c. On the left side is the rocker switch to adjust the call volume. On some models, these same buttons can be used to change ringtone volume when you're Not in a call, but that's not the case here. On this model, there's a separate button to open the ringtone settings.
Over on the right side is a dual-purpose shortcut key. It doesn't do anyone when the phone is locked. If the phone is unlocked, a particular click of the button loads the camera function. Or, if you press and hold the button, it will load the mp3 player.
Farther up the right side is the connector that is used for the Charger, and Usb cable. I believe it could also work with a Samsung-branded stereo headset, but I haven't tried that personally.
On the top of the phone is a suitable headset jack. This is a pretty Universal connector type, but if you want to listen to music with stereo Headphones, you'll have to be right to get the right connector. Most music Headphones use a 3.5mm jack, while phone headsets are usually 2.5mm. I was also able to use an Adapter with my quarterly music headphones to listen to the mp3 player. anyone you resolve to do, just make sure to get the right size connector if you're buying accessories for this phone.
One other thing worth mentioning here is that under the Battery cover is the microSd card slot. You can use these cards to store mp3s and pictures, and to exchange files to and from your computer or other device.
Next, let's take a look at the mp3 player. It's nearly identical to the player on the T401g, and both players are nicer than the Motorola Em326g. The sound is okay straight through the built-in speaker, which surprised me. Of course, if you're listening for very long, you'll probably want to use headphones. And Bluetooth is also an choice for listening to music, if you have a stereo bluetooth headset.
I know that the mp3 player is a big attraction for many citizen finding to upgrade their phone, so I wanted to say a diminutive more about it. While the Audio quality is good, this phone probably isn't going to replace your stand-alone mp3 player or iPod. The playlists are hard to use and I couldn't get my songs to play in the order I wanted - they played alphabetically agreeing to the song title. Even songs on the same album played alphabetically rather than album order. Also, the player doesn't remember where you left off when you close it out. So there are some vital drawbacks to the music player feature.
Finally, a diminutive bit about the camera - it's pretty standard. There are a few editing features you can do on the phone, but there's no digital zoom, so you'll have to do that with photo editing software after the photo is taken. The camera resolution is 1.3 megapixels, which is probably good adequate to do small prints - 3 x 5 or 4 x 6, but in effect no bigger than that. So, it's a pretty basic camera for a contemporary cell phone.
There's a quick overview of the Samsung r451c. To sum it up, it's a pretty solid phone. In my testing, Battery life and reception were very good, and the display is big and bright. Call quality wasn't quite as good as the Em326g or the Lg 290c, but it's still pretty good. And of course, the Qwerty keyboard makes texting in effect easy. All in all, I like it. I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
It's currently selling for , and it's recently been showing up in some stores. It's also now ready from Net10's website, where you can get it for using the discounts codes I recommend, and the right Talk Version is ready from right Talk's site.
