The E840 by Samsung appears as a glossy and surprisingly thin phone considering the fact that it is a slider. While the phone is not marketed to be a digital music player it certainly includes enough features to make it a pretty decent one. It supports more digital music formats then some mobile phones that are advertised as being music players. These formats supported by the Samsung E840 include MP3, AAC, AAC+, and WMA.
The Samsung E840 slider weighs in at 99 grams. The device is 101.5mm long by 52.5mm wide and 10.6mm thick. It is its thin size that will really grab your attention as it is one of the thinnest sliders on the market today. Battery life for the E840 is about 4 hours and 30 minutes of talk time and around 360 hours on standby.
The Samsung E840 comes in a variety of fun colours that will serve to help personalize the phone to each user’s personality. Users can pick from colours like candy pink, topaz gold, noble blue, and ice silver.
The E840 offers a fairly standard built in camera that is 2 megapixels and is capable of capturing video. Users will have 70 megabytes of internal memory to store photos and videos on. Users that find this to be too small can upgrade the device’s memory with a microSD expansion slot.
A potential drawback to the Samsung E840 is that it does not offer users 3G support. The device is quad band and operates on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies.
