Samsung Genio Qwerty Review

In a nutshell: The Samsung Genio
Qwerty appears to be a low cost alternative to a BlackBerry,
but the keyboard turns out to be a flop. Still, it does offer
a choice of snap-on colour cases, text conversations with cool
graphics, a good music player and FM radio, and decent battery
life.

You fancy a BlackBerry Curve, but don't want to pay the money? You want email
on the go and a full QWERTY keyboard plus fun fashionable style? Can the Genio
Qwerty really deliver all this, or is it too good to be true? Read on if you
want to find out!
Well, the Genio Qwerty looks very much like a BlackBerry
Curve. It's about the same size, and it shares the same style of QWERTY
keyboard. The Samsung has more of a fun feel to it however, with changeable
covers on the back, so you can swap from black to white to yellow. But note
that only the back changes colour - the front stays black.
The display isn't up to much. At 2.2 inches, it's much smaller than the BlackBerry,
and has a low resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. But it's the keyboard that turns
out to be the biggest disappointment. It's just nasty. The keys are so small
that you'll need tiny fingers to use it, but the real problem is that when you
press one key, the whole keyboard flops up and down, making it very hard to
press the right key and get positive feedback. The thing also feels like it
won't last more than a few months.
The camera's sub-standard too, even for this low price point. There's no flash
and you'll get grainy shots unless you shoot in absolutely perfect conditions.
The Genio Qwerty does come with a music player and FM radio, and has the bonus
of a 3.5mm audio jack so you can plug in your own headphones. The onboard memory
is pretty small at 41 MB, but you can add a microSD memory card up to 8GB if
you want to store your music collection on the phone. But we wouldn't recommend
replacing your iPod with this phone.
The Genio Qwerty has been designed with social networking in mind, and we like
the way that it handles texts with its cool bubble-quote graphics. Email isn't
as easy to handle as a BlackBerry though, and it's not great for web browsing
or facebook with its tiny screen and lack of any kind of rapid data transfer.
Battery life is adequate, although not particularly strong, although it does
recharge quickly. Connectivity is quadband GSM, with USB and Bluetooth.
We are struggling to find a niche for the Genio Qwerty. What are its real strengths?
It's not the QWERTY keyboard, and its not text messaging or email. It's not
music and its not taking photos. I think that you can see where we are going
with this review. Stick with the Genio Touch
for better texting, or upgrade to the Genio
Slide if you can afford a little extra.
Features of the Samsung Genio Qwerty include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
- Video camera
- Display: TFT, 220 x 176 pixels (2.2 inches)
- Music player

- Offline mode
- WAP 2.0, GPRS, web browser
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB 2.0, 3.5mm jack
- Memory: 41 Mbytes plus MicroSD memory card slot (up to 8GB supported)
- Personal organiser functions
- Quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
- Size: 110 x 59 x 13 mm
- Weight: 94g
- Talktime: 450 minutes
- Battery standby: 390 hours

I bought this phone a while ago and thought it was amazing. After a
while the paint started coming off the qwerty keyboard and it resends
old texts from 3 months ago. But it can withstand any knocks and falls!

To begin with I thought what a great phone....then I wondered why I
was going through my freedom pack so quickly...it costs twice as much
to send texts than my old phone as the pages to write the text are so
small and you need twice as many pages to send the texts...I used up
all my text credits in 2 weeks... normally never reach the limit. Not
impressed. This happened 2 months in a row. I compared with my last
phone and sent the same text...word for word cost twice as much on this
phone. Expensive to use.

I had this phone ages ago, and this is good for texting and calling,
amazing at taking pictures but it is very small. GOod on a small budget,
the battery is good, I charged it every 2 days and it worked fine. Good
for putting music on, but wouldnt have it if you use social networking
or text constantly. If you are one of theose people you should buy a
blackberry, as this isnt the best phone.

Hi i got my genio for about 8months as a gift by my father and found
no problems as the others says.i like the fashion jackets and it looks
like a blackberry.honestly i ll say that at the beginning it was dificult
to use but at using it for 2weeks i realise that it was very cool.good
game dowloading.but the problem is that there are no many games for
this type of screen.and the net is slow but with opera mini it's quite
good.i got the usb cable but my computer asks me the driver to do operations.apart
from that it can't run applications of more than 500kb.don't know if
im the only one with that problem.the camera isn't that bad but it'll
be better with a flash.i'll giv it 3stars for the music player and radio,it
plays my sd card very well also and i m impressed it can play my 400and
+songs very well the earphone jacket is quite good also.hop this will
help you optimise ur phons.good samaung i like it...

ive had this phone for over year! its amazing! i had a blackberry a

this phone is everything you need- qwerty keyboard-loud speakerphone-clear
messages! No the camera isnt that good.. but its usable.. if you'v got
a camera in your bag then who needs to use the phone for it!!! Internet
is slow! but i only use it for social networking! the keyboards got
clear buttons, easy to use.. and fast! battery life is amazing! im always
listening to music (3/4 hours)... it takes a beating.. from being dropped
down a multi story carpark stairs.. to being lobbed at a door! it looks
and feels expensive!! i personally think its better than the blackberry
curve.. works like one.. looks abit like one.. but for me this phone
does it all!!

aren't that bad in my opinion. Unfortunately it didn't come with a cable
to connect it to the computer, the headphones that were provided were
weird, you couldn't hear the singing, you cant play the radio unless
headphones are plugged in, however it is a good radio. Good money for
the phone , overall good buy :)

The internets not all great but that to do with network problems. I
dont like the camera because its not great quality but thats what iv
got my digital camera for. The only thing that majorly annoys me is
that it wont accept my SD card -.- plus iv been reading other reviews
and everyones saying that it gets scratched easily and the keys are
chipping. after a year and a half mine are starting to but not that
badly and thats with me constantly dropping it.

I got this for Christmas because I don't have the money for a blackberry
and my parents wouldn't pay for one... It was working fine BUT the keys
chip so you can't see the letters any more (I just know where they all
are), I have a few scratches on my screen due to keys, the music player
doesn't play most of my songs (which is annoying when I forget my iPod)
and now hotmail says I need Java script to access these. It was fine
a few weeks ago but I'm finding this phone more annoying as time goes
on. Depending on where I am, the internet can be fast to not working
at all (that's to do with the network) and it doesn't like my SD card
for extra memory so it restarts itself when it doesn't respond. Yes
it charges within 2.5 hours but the battery can last as little as a
day if I use it a lot, or three days if I don't. the keys are too close
together so I often have to check my texts before sending them, even
though I can text faster than with the standard three keys in a row
phone.

Hi!! I got this phone in like Febuary 2011, and yeah, im very pleased
with it. But I think that the phone is aimed at youngsters, as for the
QWERTY keypad has very small keys which means the phone can be quite
hard to text with. The Fashion Jackety part of it is really cool, so
you can personalise your phone the way you want it to look. There are
two colours, white and yellow, i cant recommend one really, because
they both are very appeling. I think the screen is very good, and the
2 MP camera has really cool mosaics, and effects you can play around
with. It also has the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is helpful if you
want to use like good quality earphones e.g IPod ones. It has really
cool themes, one for example is a orange haired fellow who moves its
head at what selection you are on. When you press enter to enter that
selection, he pulls on a chain, and opens it up for you, which i think
is really fun! Also, on the menu transitions, there is like a kinda
door one, were when you enter stuff, the menu will split in half, as
like a door opening. The Internet on the phone is very slow, and can
sometimes frezze your phone, so i think if you get a bundle/contract,
unless its compulsory, dont bother paying for the internet. Really good
phone in general, its average price, is about £50, which is quite good
for the phone, and perfect for those who would like a blackberry, but
dont have quite enough for one. thank you for reading my review! I hoped
this helped you!!

I got the white version of this phone. I have never fallen for the hype
of phones as pretty much the entire planet seems to done, but with 3
kids all owning Mega Hyper Phones with more power than my PC, I had
to get a cheapie for myself to replace my Sony v640i Am I happy? Not
really. The slider thing is cruddy and I have lowered the sensitivity
down a lot but its still awkward. The menus are nasty to work through
and I hate the way it does do it. As for a Music player, Im ok with
it to be honest. and I cannot fairly compare it to anything. I was just
happy with the V640i but the port is iffy on that so teh headphones
/ charger kept popping out and thats why I had to chose a phone with
3.5mm headphone socket. Its says its WIFI, but unless Im missing something,
thats wrong. My kids phones connect to my router just fine, but this
has to connect via PAYG... If it allowed connection through the router
then it would be brilliant, but as it is...No! It is supposed to be
good for socialising, but I find tralking to a person better anyway,
but either way, I have setup my GMail account with it and it worked,
so that was fun but alas will never again be used because I have a life.
Similarly I have piddled with Facebook and Twitter and again, that will
never be used again, but it was simple and worked instantly with minimal
fuss. To be honest with you, I tink its not a bad phone at all. I paid
£50 for it and I see it cheaper in places but Im happy with the price...
I think? Im keeping my V640I however... Just in case!

I bought the Samsung Genio Qwerty just about two days ago however I'm
still a bit unsure about it. The battery life is ok but it runs out
quite quickly I guess I could say. The camera isn't that great even
though its two megapixels. If you was shooting at night, you would probably
only be able to make out the outline of a body shape. Soacial messaging
on the Samsung Genio Qwerty is brilliant! The Qwerty keyboard makes
it much easier to type. I first thought the buttons were a tiny bit
stiff but they loosened up after about one hour.If you're a heavy texter
like me, the Qwerty keyboard should work well for you. The radio is
perfect for when you're out and about. The volume of the phone is perfect.
It dosen't have many levels but it works well for me. If you're hung
up on a Qwerty keyboard but you don't want a Samsung Genio Qwerty I
would recommend a Samsung Chat. My mum has one and she lets me use it
frequently. Its brill. One warning- On the box of the Samsung Genio
Qwerty box, it shows a phone with yellow buttons (only the ones with
numbers on them) you might get one with white buttons like me. You also
might not get a yellow patterned cover but a white patterned cover.
I don't think the Samsung company should've put on the box a phone with
a yellow cover and yellow buttons but I guess I'll get over it. Overall
I rate the Samsung Genio Qwerty with a mere three stars.

This phone isnt and is good I loved it as i got it today it was easy
to tec=xt on simple, good camera good music player, however wouldnt
accept the images on my memory card so was gutted and had NO USB so
I am now nearly in tears!! Because there is no way to transfer my pictures
so i have none :'( And my mom ses I cant take it back and telling me
im totally ungrateful but i use it for my USB and my sister will make
fun of me! Cuz she is jealous so if there is something wrong she will
use it against me so if you want a USB dont get it! Plus I cant buy
one as I only have £10 money and that isnt enough so am HUGELY DISSAPOINTED

This is a great little phone...I disagree with the main review!..keypad
is fine and precise but suggest it is better for people with smaller
fingers!..overall is a great phone for the price...perfect for texting
and calls...but if you want a good screen/camera etc there are better
phones on the market

I had this phone as a Christmas present i nagged by parents for it but
didn't look into it properly I just wanted it because of the way it
looked I wish now that I had looked closer into it I can only store
7 songs on it and it doesn't come with the wire that you plug into the
computer to download your pics!!!! I wish I had a different phone !!!
and let that be a lesson never ask for something or wish you had something
until you've had a closer look at it and know all the facts about it
I was really disappointed about this phone !!!

im really fussy with phones and i LOVE this phone! people who cant use
this keypad must have HUGE fingers because it works great! im 16 and
i lovee it. great phone and alot of people agree the people who dont
like it must be snobs who only want a phone with a big price label and
ignore the quality.

I was bought the samsung genio qwerty as a christmas gift and i am really
disapointed if it wasn't a presant i would go out and buy a new phone.
The problems I have experienced are texting the capitols get stuck on
and i have trouble with the small buttons. Any brtowsing in the web
is nearly impossible and facebook is very slow. I only text on my phone
mostly so thats the real problem.
