Description:

Overview

Compatible with T-Mobile cell phone service, the tri-band Samsung P705 features the first-ever broadcast TV tuner built in to a cell phone, enabling it to receive TV broadcasts directly from your local stations. You'll also get a variety of the usual features such as a WAP Internet browser, picture caller ID, and plenty of phone and organizer features, all displayed on a large, vibrant, 176 x 220 pixel, 262,000 color TFT screen.

TV and Calling Features

The TV tuner features let the phone receive TV shows through the airwaves, in a pre-cable, pre-satellite fashion just like regular TV has for the last 50 years or so. However, in this digital age, you can take screen shots of the shows that come in, and save them on your phone as a screen saver or send them to friends via MMS multimedia messaging. Used simply as a phone, the P705's features include call timers, redial, missed call indicator, call log, any-key answer, auto-redial, roaming indicator, speed dial, phonebook look-up, phonebook scroll, mute control, no-answer transfer, usage alert, vibrating ring, differential ring, and a phone book capacity of 1000 entries. There's also 40-chord polyphonic ring tones.

Internet

This phone lets you get online and access e-mail, view full color versions of popular Web sites, download Java-compatible games, ring tones, and software, and take advantage of high-speed (GPRS class 8) data download. There's also 2-way text messaging with T9 predictive text assistance.

Organizer

Organizer features include voice memo, plus an internal phone book calendar, to-do list, voice memo function, world clock, alarm that works when the phone is off, and a calculator.

Vital Statistics

The Samsung P705 weighs 4.59 ounces and measures 3.62 x 2.01 x 1.0 inches. Its Lithium Ion batteries are rated at up to 240 minutes talk time--that's a lot of TV watching--and up to 300 hours standby.
