If Samsung keep producing music phones like the i450, with Bang & Olufsen audio hardware, then Sony Ericsson's dominance of music-focused mobiles may come to an abrupt halt.
The good:
* Bang & Olufsen audio hardware
* Nokia S60 operating platform
* Funky music player interface
* HSDPA data transfer speeds
* Bundled 2GB MicroSD memory card
The bad:
* Touch wheel is a bit tricky to use
* No Wi-Fi
* It's not the sexiest handset around
Shabby aesthetics aside, the Samsung i450 is an excellent music phone and sure to give the Walkman range a run for its money. Our favourite Walkman phone of late has been the W890i; a sexy, slimline phone with great music playback but with a less than attractive AU$899 price tag. The i450 trumps the W890i in price — at AU$599 through 3 Mobile — and in the outstanding quality of the music we heard. Add to this the Nokia S60 operating platform and the decent performance of the 2-megapixel camera and the i450 should be one of the first phones you check out when shopping for your next handset.
