The Samsung Brightside Phone: Say Cheese!
The Samsung Brightside’s biggest feature besides its combo touchscreen/QWERTY keyboard is its 3.2 MP camera/camcorder. Taking pictures and video is a snap because of the dedicated camera key on the right hand side which has no other function except to snap and take pictures; and it has a very fast shutter speed, so you can rapidly take sequential pictures! The Samsung Brightside also boasts a music player; as well as a microSD slot, which supports microSD cards up to 32 GB, so you’ll always have carrying room for your day’s memories and music. With Bluetooth 2.1 and the ability to upload directly to Facebook and MySpace, you can have the best basic parts of a smartphone without having to pay smartphone prices.

The Samsung Brightside Phone: ‘The Best One Can Hope For’
Reviewers responded positively to the Samsung Brightside’s unique combo touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The physical keyboard makes the phone feel sturdier in the hand but not bulky. One reviewer remarked the QWERTY keyboard was a welcome accessory for heavy texters. Another reviewer was pleased to find that the QWERTY keyboard had a satisfying ‘tactile’ feel, and gave plenty of spacing between individual keys while having the keys raised just enough so each key is differentiated from its neighbor, without feeling intrusive. As for the touchscreen, this same reviewer was initially wary, but grew fond of it because it has the same picture scrolling ability as an iPhone, though she was disappointed that she could not spread her fingers to automatically zoom in and out. Several other reviewers were pleased with the accuracy, responsiveness, speed and initial resistance of the touch screen. One reviewer liked that you could use the touch screen and the slider simultaneously.
