Samsung Chat222 is an entry-level dual-SIM cellphone with QWERTY keypad. This actually means that you can insert two SIM cards into the phone simultaneously. This phone is a good investment for those who want to use two SIM cards on a single cellphone. Both the SIM cards can be active at a given point of time. This a great advantage of this set. Many experts have opined that Samsung Chat222 is a poor cousin of Blackberry. In fact, it can be said that those who are unable to afford a blackberry can go for this cell phone. However, I would say that Blackberry and Chat22 are two separate genres of phones and they cannot be compared with one another.

The phone was released in the middle of this year and it works in 2G network. The phone is very light at just 90g and looks very sleek indeed. The TFT display is 2.2 inches, which is a bit small and has a resolution of 220 x 176 pixels. The QWERTY keypad is awesome and is great for messaging. The best part of the phone is the 3.5mm jack as it allows you to connect the speakers with the phone and allows you to enjoy music in high volume and quality.

The memory specifications are reasonably good as it boasts of a 43MB internal memory and has a microSD card slot to extend the memory up to 16GB. The phone supports GPRS


The other major features of this phone are Twitter & Facebook clients, conference call, speakerphone, PC Sync Application, HTML Web Browser, FM radio, games, and instant messaging. The phone works on 1000 mAh battery that gives a talk time of 710 min and standby of 550 hours. The SNS integration feature is surprisingly present in this phone along with other standard features like organizer voice memo and predictive text input.

The phone is being marketed at those who are keen on social communication. You can access social media platforms like Facebook to connect with your friends, family and business contacts. The IM feature quickly sends your messages. You do not need to be connected to a PC to access gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. A number of Samsung applications can be downloaded including games and fun software. Many many fret that it does not have a 3G support but if you can ignore that fact then this best mobile that you can get for less than $100. In fact, it is even much cheaper than that.

The phone comes in a standard box pack with a number of accessories like headset, battery, charger, user manual, and USB cable. The phone is available for a price of $70. Those who want a cool entry level phone, this one sure is a winner. It has the features, the looks, and the required talk time. Though the camera function is not so good, yet it comes out on top when you consider Facebook, email, and SMS communication. A must buy for those who are looking for a low cost phone with good specs.
