Feature phones - are they slowly turning into smartphones?

<h1>Feature phones - are they slowly turning into smartphones?</h1>Author: <a title="Matt Sharp" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/matt-sharp/41815.htm">Matt Sharp</a> Feature phones have come a long way, so much so, that they now rival smartphones in terms of power. Let's check out three of the best. Samsung Jet Coming soon from the Korean manufacturer is the new Samsung Jet, a touchscreen phone with a brand new interface, based on a 3D cube. Whilst it shares many design similarities with TouchWiz, the new Cubic UI in the Samsung Jet is a whole new experience, where you can flip between screens by dragging your finger, and rotating the cube round. The UI is brilliant, but in terms of feature, the Samsung Jet is no slouch, either. You get a 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA, and a superb web browser, and although the Samsung Jet isn't a smartphone (nor meant to be one), it's one of the nicest feature phones out there. Samsung Tocco Ultra What would happen if you took an awesome camera, and a sumptuous interface, but gave it a slide-out keyboard, and unbelievably, made it thinner than its predecessors? You'd get the gorgeous Samsung Tocco Ultra, one of the prettiest phones Samsung have ever made. It really is quite astounding that, despite being thinner than the Pixon, the Samsung Tocco Ultra manages to squeeze in that beautiful keyboard.

Feature phones have come a long way, so much so, that they now rival smartphones in terms of power. Let's check out three of the best.

Samsung Jet

Coming soon from the Korean manufacturer is the new Samsung Jet, a touchscreen phone with a brand new interface, based on a 3D cube. Whilst it shares many design similarities with TouchWiz, the new Cubic UI in the Samsung Jet is a whole new experience, where you can flip between screens by dragging your finger, and rotating the cube round. The UI is brilliant, but in terms of feature, the Samsung Jet is no slouch, either. You get a 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA, and a superb web browser, and although the Samsung Jet isn't a smartphone (nor meant to be one), it's one of the nicest feature phones out there.

Samsung Tocco Ultra

What would happen if you took an awesome camera, and a sumptuous interface, but gave it a slide-out keyboard, and unbelievably, made it thinner than its predecessors? You'd get the gorgeous Samsung Tocco Ultra, one of the prettiest phones Samsung have ever made. It really is quite astounding that, despite being thinner than the Pixon, the Samsung Tocco Ultra manages to squeeze in that beautiful keyboard. If amazing looks (with superb features) are what you seek from a phone, then the Samsung Tocco Ultra is perfect for you.

LG Viewty Smart

The Samsung Jet easily has the speed advantage, and the Samsung Tocco Ultra clearly has a head start in terms of looks. But there is a competitor that can take them both down. The Viewty is one of LG's most successful phones ever, and now, here's its successor, the LG Viewty Smart. Before we go any further, let's clear something up: despite its name, the LG Viewty Smart, isn't a smartphone. It's a feature phone, but what a feature phone the LG Viewty Smart is! The camera is superb, and the S-Class user interface is second-to-none, making it a truly beautiful phone to use, as well as having one of the best camera's in the business.
