Samsung launches H1 social networking phone with Vodafone 360
Bangalore: Samsung has launched its H1 social networking phone exclusively with Vodafone. The H1 is an HSDPA 3G phone with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, so it meets all the fast data access requirements of a modern Smartphone. Samsung H1 comes with 3.5", 800 x 400 OLED screen. Buttons and connectors run to an on/off switch and 3.5mm headphone socket on the top, a volume/zoom rocker and micro USB mains power port on the left side, and camera and search buttons on the right edge. The search button opens up a generic search screen which lets you hunt through the phone and memory card storage, Vodafone 360's list of members, Vodafone's online store, and Google. The phone comes with a 16 GB internal memory and with the help of a Micro SD card it can be increased further. It also has a Camera in front and a 5 Mega Pixel camera in the back. Samsung H1 runs on LiMo - Linux Mobile - Release 2 operating system. The LiMo-360 user interface looks and feels very different to the norm. You can see Facebook status updates but to enter any info into Facebook you need to go to the Facebook web page. That's the full desktop web page, not a special app designed for the H1's small screen. There's a considerable element of cloud-based stuff going on with Vodafone 360. The phone's contacts and photos are automatically backed up to an area you get into with your Vodafone 360 login at www.360.com. Here you can view photos and create albums to share with designated Vodafone 360 buddies. You can also send SMS and email - you get your own name@360.com address.
