Unboxing the Samsung Reclaim

The Samsung Reclaim reminds me of the Samsung Instinct s30 its not particularly compelling, but then again, Im not the target audience!

Is it green? To quote Jemery Clarkson: Yes, very. Some of the plastic parts are actually made of corn, but I dont think this phone is any more biodegradable, considering all the electronics...

The Reclaim drops the Instinct s30s poor touchscreen interface in favor of a traditional D-pad and a QWERTY keyboard, which is an improvement. It also features a standard micro-USB connector for data & power (instead of a proprietary connector), and a sightly better 2 megapixel camera (still without auto-focus or flash).

Pros:
- Nice, bright screen
- Decent QWERTY keyboard
- 3G (EVDO Rev. 0) and GPS
- Good battery life
- Standard 3.5 mm audio connector
- Standard micro USB connector (data & power)
- Bluetooth ObEx (file transfer/sync), and A2DP (stereo audio)
- USB 2.0 mass storage support
- Easily accessible micro-SD slot
- Configurable messaging client (POP3/IMAP/Exchange support)
- Included bundle of services (Turn-by-turn navigation, TV, music store)

Cons:
- So-so 2 megapixel camera (no auto-focus, macro, or flash)
- No other colors than green or blue
- No WiFi
- No multitasking other than music
- No gapless music playback
- No configurable IM client (no Jabber support)
- Hit & miss Java support
- No iSync support (but vCard support)
- No Bluetooth DUN (tethering)
- No data cable or earphones supplied with device
- Small 512 MB micro-SD card supplied with phone

On Sprint's official website they removed ocean blue but added graphite gray quite a while ago, but I just looked at BestBuy and they ONLY carry the ocean blue ones >.>
