“Cell phones with multimedia capabilities generally struggle to balance the needs of a conventional handset and those of a music or video player. Samsung’s UpStage responds to this problem by putting phone functions on one side of the device and multimedia functions on the other.”

“In most other respects the UpStage satisfies. The 1.3-megapixel camera took sharp photos when we had a good amount of light, and Sprint TV looked decent on the 2.1-inch display, although with the usual artifacts. Other pluses include compatibility with Sprint’s streaming music services (MTV, Sirius, and VH1) and fast Web browsing courtesy of the EV-DO data connection. Our test calls generally sounded crisp on our end, with only occasional complaints from other callers who said we sounded a bit faint.”

“The Samsung UpStage is such a unique flip, it seems almost more a design study than a retail phone. To be blunt, we did not appreciate the flip design. It did not make the music playing experience better, and it did not add to the ease and enjoyment of using the phone.”

“At $149 (and up with contract), the Samsung UpStage is very reasonable for a device this cutting-edge and beautiful. I’d venture that some people will buy it just to have a gorgeous, slim voice phone. That might be your best bet, actually. If you’re going to use this as your music player, I advise a dose of patience and fortitude.”

“Overall, it’s a great phone and definitely has that cool factor. I think Samsung could have included a bigger screen on the phone side and the built-in speaker leaves something to be desired, but for the price point I think it’s a great buy. I also like the extra touches such as the included “flip the phone” instruction that pops up on screen when you press the flip button.”
