Samsung HMX-H106 pros:

+ Design allows unusual handling options
+ Good color accuracy
+ Low noise in bright light
+ Plenty of memory for your movies
+ Good auto mode
+ Simple and accurate still mode
+ Simple to use

Samsung HMX-H10 cons:

- Glossy finish attracts fingerprints
- No 25p or 30p frame rates
- Low light noise performance worse than competition
- Larger than most mid-range camcorders

Performance:
The Samsung HMX-H106 produces very accurate colors so you needn’t worry about the lack of manual color controls. Also the noise is good in bright light so there is no need for the noise reduction (although it is available). The Samsung HMX-H106 is an HD camcorder so it records FULL HD image but only in the 60i frame rate. The camcorder has almost the best motion performance among the middle range camcorders and the video sharpness is good. In low light the Samsung HMX-H106 does quite a good job producing strong colors, but also some noise. If low light noise is extremely important for you have a look at the Canon Vixia HF S10, or Sony HDR-CX500V. The camcorder can record in 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, and 720 x 480 resolutions and since it does not compress the video files using the AVCHD it is easy to work with larger files. The built-in memory allows you to record almost 500 minutes of films in the best quality. The Samsung HMX-H106 has few manual controls but as it does a great job in auto mode it should not be an issue (at least for beginners).

Samsung N510 pros:

+ 11.6-inch display
+ Good speakers and audio quality
+ Touchpad and keyboard are very comfy
+ Good graphics performance
+ Excellent HD video playback
+ Above average battery performance (with Windows 7)

Samsung N510 cons:

- Price is a bit too high
- Boot up takes a while

Performance:
The Samsung N510 netbook with its powerful (for a netbook) graphics card heats up a bit after a prolonged use with some HD videos. It is not a cause for concern but something to bear in mind. The 11.6-inch screen on the Samsung N510 displays 1366 x 768 resolution. It produces very accurate colors and since it is matte is has great sunlight legibility. The viewing angles are good and there are generally no issues with the screen.
When it comes to the netbook’s performance it is above the average for this class of devices with is score of almost 1,250 points on the PCMark Vantage. All in all, the Samsung N510 performs very well and even with multitasking – that is a movie, music player, a word processor and an internet browser you can work without delays. When it comes to the graphics performance the Samsung N510 is almost 8 times better than the netbook average so if the graphics performance is important for you, you can forget about the Gateway LT2016u, or Sony VAIO X.

Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 pros:

+ 2.6-inch display showing 320 x 320 resolution
+ Comfortable full QWERTY keyboard
+ Fast and comfy interface
+ Nice design
+ Windows Mobile 6.5
+ Long-lasting bettery
+ 3.2 megapixel camera

Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 cons:

- Below average camera performance
- Slightly old-fashioned
- Average sound quality
- Music and video player are basic
- No flash for the camera

Performance:
The Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 runs the Windows 6.5 Mobile so it has no touchscreen capability, but that’s hardly surprising since it’s a full QWERTY mobile phone. The interface is quite useable and pleasant. On the bottom of the display is the usual Windows menu and right above it plenty of shortcuts to frequently used services and applications. All aspects of the everyday cell phone use are covered very well and so writing messages, email, making phone calls and browsing the Internet is easy and fast.

Samsung S8000 Jet

Performance:
The most basic function of Samsung S800 Jet – making phone calls – works seamlessly. The reception is always good and the sound quality is more than satisfactory. The touchscreen on the Samsung S800 Jet has very good contrast which makes reading from the screen quite pleasant is all circumstances and the touch technology is almost as good as the one used in the iPhone 3Gs. Unfortunately, the direct sunlight legibility is not as good as ow would expect from a touchscreen phone. The menus are always readable, but still it could be better.
Samsung S800 Jet comes with the latest TouchWiz user interface with refreshed looks and accelerometer support. The Samsung S800 Jet has the same homescreen layout as the Pixon12 so you get three different screens to place shortcuts and widgets on. At the time of writing this review there are 24 widgets available for download, but it seems that this number will increase shortly. The main menu, although it is arranged in three different screens, is very user friendly thanks it the large icons and nice transitions and animations. You can of course customize the menu to suit your taste, work faster, or look better. As all the recent Samsung phones the Samsung S800 Jet supports multitasking so you can for instance use the media player in the background. The phone has also a quite interesting feature called Smart unlock. With this feature you can dial a contact, or run an application just by drawing a letter, or a symbol on the Smart unlock screen.

The Media gate in the Samsung S800 Jet allows you to browse your music and video library, photo albums, games and you can also access the web browser and FM radio. The cube-like menu is not only ingenious, but also fun to play with and it always accesses desired menu very responsively.
The phonebook in the Samsung S800 Jet stores up to 200 contacts with multiple fields for photos, ringtones, address, email and so on. Unfortunately if you assign a photo to a contact you will not be able to see it in the contact list as it is used only as a called id. But if you really like to look at the faces of people you are about to phone you might be interested in the Photo Contact feature. With it you can tag parts of photos which you can afterwards use as shortcuts to contacts. It’s as easy as that. So instead of, for instance, grouping your contacts you might want to make use of a group photo and tag the people in it.
Messaging is a pleasure with Samsung S800 Jet. The phone has a shared editor for MMS and SMS messages and it is quite intuitive. If you like writing long messages you will be glad to hear that the Samsung S800 Jet can break down your message in up to 15 parts if it is longer than the standard 160 characters.also writing email is a pleasure, once you put in all the settings for your account. The email attachment size limit is set to 5 MB whoosh should be enough for photos, most documents and even some music files.

Samsung S8000 Jet

Multimedia:
The Samsung S800 Jet has two photo galleries optimized for touch interface. The first one is a part of the file manager and it let you sort the images and browse them simply by opening the parent folder. The browsing if fast so you will not have to spend too much time waiting for another photo. Also, rotating the view to landscape is swift. Zooming also does not disappoint. The second way to look through you photos is the standard Photo browser.
The music player, as usual allows you to browse your music library by artist, genre, album and you can create custom playlists. The music player can play in the background and thanks to the ”5.1 ch” button the Samsung S800 Jet may emulate 5.1 channel sound on regular headphones.
The Samsung S800 Jet can also receive FM radio with RDS and since you can record the radio broadcast you get the full set.
The Samsung phone can also play videos which look really great on its large screen. The Samsung S800 Jet seamlessly plays DivX/XviD videos right out of the box and with the pretty good audio quality you can really use it as an outstanding portable player.
The Samsung S800 Jet is equipped with 5 megapixel autofocus camera capable of shooting 2560 x 1920 photos. The camera has plenty of features including viewfinder gridlines, image stabilization, geotagging, smile shot and face detection and a LED flash. The user interface of the camera is touch optimized and it all works very well and fast. The image quality is good, with nice contrast, sharp edges and little noise.
The web browser is fast and renders the web pages almost like a computer would. Moreover, it features a built-in AdBlocker and full flash support.

Summary:
All in all, the Samsung S800 Jet is more than a decent phone with good digital camera and multimedia features. Moreover, the phone can view documents and accept large attachments so it may also be used as a business device. The built-in GPS receiver comes in handy for travelers and the great web browser should suffice for mobile browsing. The Samsung S800 Jet has really few downsides.
