Earlier in 2007, Samsung proudly released one of its most innovative ideas yet, the Samsung Upstage M620. No other mobile phone model has been designed with a phone on one side, and a music player on the opposite side. It’s often called the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of mobile phones. The model was originally named as the Samsung Ultra Music F300, but was later on renamed as the Upstage M620, more appropriately because it seems to upstage all other units.
So what else makes this phone stand out? Let’s run the numbers, shall we? The Upstage M620’s bar style body measures 4.07″ x 1.73″ x 0.37″ (103 x 44 x 9 mm) and weighs only 2.57 ounces (73 grams), nearly as much as two candy bars.
The Upstage M620 has two LCD screens, one for the phone side, and one for the music player side. The phone LCD screen is 1.4 inches and has 176 x 65 pixel resolution in 65,000 colors. Caller information and text messages can clearly be seen on it, and whenever you dial, each digit is of a different color. The music player LCD screen is much larger at 2.1 inches, 176 x 220 pixels and 262,000 color display. That makes it great for listing songs, viewing photos and album covers and watching streaming video.

When personal digital assistants (PDA) made their way into the modern age, we thought computers couldn’t get any more portable. We were so glad that we could surf the internet and do our work wirelessly, just by using our PDA’s. But with the rapidly changing time, the power of computers increased in strength, while their bodies shrank in size. Meet the Samsung Upstage M620. It’s not just a phone, a PDA, and a computer, but also a uniquely smart music player.
This Upstage is such an amazing combination of many machines, you’d wonder how they fitted it in one handheld device. The mobile phone is capable of Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO) technology, like many 3G phones today. EVDO allows users to get online and download at high speed using their mobile phones. With the Upstage M620’s convenient web browser and 2.1 inch LCD screen, subscribers can watch live TV broadcasts, movie clips, music videos, and tune in to the news.
The mobile phone also comes with a 1.3 mega pixel digital camera which can zoom up to 5x. Pictures taken can be in four resolutions, from as large as 1280 x 160 pixels or as low as 176 x 220, depending on the user’s preference. The camera can take still photos in night mode, and can operate on a five second self-timer. There are also adjustments for brightness and contrast, and a photo editing software is included. The Upstage supports PictBridge, so photos can be printed immediately without cable or card transfer.

Samsung made waves in 2007 with great news for the mobile lovers of the world. No, it’s not just the beautiful Beyonce Knowles sashaying her way into the Samsung TV commercial. It’s the introduction of a mobile that emphasizes the statement, “Two is better than one.” Meet the Samsung Upstage M620, one phone with more than a few tricks up its sleeve.
Two portable devices for the price of one really sounds like a great deal. The Upstage M620 is a brilliant marriage of mobile phone on one face, and a music player on the other face. Imagine not having to carry around your cellular phone in one pocket, and your mp3 player in another. With just the flick of a switch, you can use the phone side of the Upstage for sending text messages, receiving calls, updating your phone book and calendar, and other applications. Flick the switch again, and you have a media player, for songs, videos, live TV clips, and web browsing.
Sprint was the first service provider in the United States to carry the Upstage M620 model. At $149 with two year subscription, mobile fanatics can enjoy the good stuff offered by the Upstage. Sprint gives their customers access to Sprint TV, where live broadcasts of news, weather, sports, and select channels are within reach. Music lovers can get on the Sprint Music Store, where millions of songs can be downloaded at only 99 cents per piece.
