T-mobile contribution to the below-50-dollar-music-phone is the Samsung Beat. The Samsung Beat’s dial pad is soft, though the reviewer stated that it makes text messaging with the phone difficult. The phone’s stylish outer speaker was enough to listen to music in a quiet room. If listening to the speaker’s not your kind of thing, the Beat supports stereo Bluetooth and the reviewer noted that it worked smoothly. There wasn’t too much popping while listening to music and the Beat even had a decent amount of Bass. When tested of its browsing capability, it loaded CNN.com loaded slowly. Another limitation of the Beat is the lack of on-demand download service. The phone does have a 1.3 megapixel camera but don’t expect to get quality images. In terms of battery life, though the Beat has a 6-hour talk time rating, the reviewer found that music playback drained the battery quickly. So if you need a stylish, under-50-dollars music phone, and having no over-the-air download service is not an issue for you, then the Samsung Beat is enough to satiate your musical cravings.
