SAMSUNG U490 TRANCE RED BANG & OLUFSEN’S 3D SOUND SPEAKERS 1.2 MEGAPIXEL NIGHTSHOT BLUETOOTH GPS VERIZON CDMA WHOLESALE CELL PHONE - FACTORY REFURBISHED

While a lot of phones have integrated music players, few handsets qualify as bonafide MP3 phones. Not only do they have much better audio quality than most, but also they usually boast a few features that focus specifically on enhancing the music experience. The latest Samsung Trance, for example, had its sound technology developed by Bang & Olufsen, a high-end audio equipment brand, which results in an array of equalizer modes and 3D sound effects. The result is simply fantastic audio quality.

Design

The Samsung Trance is an undeniably stylish handset, with an elegant design that any fashionista would love. Measuring 4 inches long by 1.97 inches wide by 0.55 inch thick, the Trance has a slim profile, rounded corners, and a beautiful glossy finish. The front of the Trance is ever so slightly curved in the shape of a violin, which adds to the visual appeal. The Trance is lightweight at only 3.53 ounces.

The Samsung Trance U490 is a CDMA slider phone with a music focus. This phone supports multiple music formats including MP3 and AAC, is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack, 1GB memory with microSD slot, and stereo Bluetooth compatibility. The Trance also features Bang & Olufsen ICEpower speaker technology. Other key features include GPS, MMS and SMS messaging, 1 megapixel camera, and support for multiple languages.

The Samsung Trance has a beautiful design.

On the front of the Trance is the 2.1-inch screen with support for 262,000 TFT color and 176x229-pixel resolution. The display is gorgeous, with bold colors and a resolution that show off the drop-shadow effect on the icons. You can adjust the backlight time for the screen and the keypad, the display themes, the style and size of the dial and menu fonts, the clock format on the standby page, and the menu layout. You can even replace and reposition menu items.

Underneath the display is the touch-sensitive navigation array. When idle, the entire array appears black and empty. When the phone is active, the array lights up with the two soft keys, the four-way toggle with middle OK key, a dedicated music player key, and the Cancel key. The music player key activates the music player of course, but when the music player is already active, it brings up the song playlist. The four-way toggle corresponds to three user-defined shortcuts for the up, left, and down directions, and the right direction leads to a My Shortcuts dialog box. The My Shortcuts box can also be customized with up to four of your favorite shortcuts.
