If you are a real “girly girl” and you’re looking for a phone that is frivolous and fashionable with fun features and functions, then the Samsung Diva is just the phone for you. It looks good but doesn’t have too much gadgetry. This is definitely a “chick” phone.
Appearance:
This phone lives up to its name with a sleek chrome finish and even a tiny diamond button at the bottom. Even the 2.8 inch, 16 million color TFT touchscreen is feminine with a swirly font and a pink diamond background.
With the Diva, you either love it or hate it. The outer case is made of a pink or pearly white plastic and for some odd reason someone decided to put a quilted pattern on the back. The question is Why?? Instead of looking like an expensive designer handbag it looks more like a mattress cover. However it does feel nice against your palm and I’m sure some people like all this femininity.
The screen is clear and responsive but sometimes a little slow and the Touchwiz user interface is quite easy to manipulate.
Camera:
Unfortunately the 3.1megapixel camera is not top of the line. We really expected more than just a limited photo editor and auto focus. Especially from a phone that is so concerned with appearance. However the video recordings capabilities are pretty good and look good on the screen.
Whether you are talking on the phone or listening to tunes you will find that the sound quality is quite good. Some of the sound features include an MP3 player; music storage capabilities, MP3 ringtones, and an FM radio RDS and recording. However, the Samsung Diva committed the biggest sin of all by not including a 3.5 mm headphone jack. This is an unforgivable mistake..
Internet Connectivity:
This is not a phone that will go everywhere with you because it is limited to only tri-band technology. This means no Wi-Fi and no 3G. Your only internet options are Bluetooth, A2DP, GPRS, EDGE or micro USB. You will be able to use features like SMS, MMS and email although the slow screen makes texting a little difficult. However, the YouTube and Facebook compatibility and the live update widgets, make up for some of the short comings.
Memory and Talk Time:
You will not be able to store much in this phone since it only has 40 megabytes of memory and an 8 gigabyte micro SD card. Your talk time will be about 10 hours and the stand by time is 800 hours. This is do to the bigger screen and the YouTube widget.
Verdict:
The Samsung Diva is more of a fashion statement than anything else. The slow system and the fact that there is no Wi-Fi or 3.5 mm headphone jack are completely unacceptable. This phone is mainly for show not function. The Samsung Diva is a much more practical phone than the buying a high priced touchscreen but can’t even use 80% of its features. The Samsung Diva is a great phone for women who likes it simple and neat.

“Even when Donna Frost picks up her acoustic guitar, the point of view is that of a brass-in-pocket rock chick. Even when her country influences show, there’s a rocker’s grit and guts in her words and attitude. As the singer of the Bunnies, one of Nashville’s first punk-rock bands, she burned a path for others to follow. “Girls Like Us,” her new CD, proves she’s still blazing a trail all her own” Michael McCall, Nashville Scene
“Like a chameleon, her smooth vocals transition from track to track. She reminds one of an early nineties Mary Chapin-Carpenter, mixed in with some Heidi Newfield, and a little soul a la Janis Ian from Seventeen. But she never falls into the trap of letting the music overtake the musician…This is one artist that I believe will be able to stay true to her indie roots no matter how mainstream her work becomes” Jenny Delamotte, Music News Nashville
“Sometimes songwriters are so busy writing a lyric that they forget to wrap it in a good tune. Not so with Donna Frost. Each lyrically sound cut is enveloped in a well-acted scene of musical imagery. A folky edge with a bluesy overtone and a country passion, this diverse disc is a musical résumé for this talented Texan”..Lucky Boyd, My Texas Music
