Samsung S5603 Preston / Halley Unboxing / UI / Gesture Unlock demo

http://h1studio.com/blog

Unboxing video of Samsung S5603 Preston / Halley bought from Singtel at S$138 (US$94) on 2 years contract.

Looks a little like the HTC touch, but the built is very plastic. However, it is lighter, smaller (about 20%) and only slightly thicker than Ipod Touch and as seen in video. Sound / Music quality is pretty good. Camera is 3.2mp but image quality is so-so.

Web surfing was fast and touchscreen has force-feedback. Typing was quite responsive. Phone also has auto-rotate landscape function, profiles, TouchWiz + built in widgets like Weather, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, MySpace etc.

New Gesture feature which allows you to swipe a letter e.g. "C" when phone is unlocked, to unlock AND auto redirect to a preset function like SMS menu. Saves you having to press a few keys.

Overall, 8/10 for a touchscreen / social media enabled / HSDPA phone at only S$138!
