Samsung Gem - New Touchscreen Mobile - First Look
The Gem measures 4.5 by 2.2 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.9 ounces. It looks kind of cheap; the hard, glossy black plastic and chrome-accented plastic buttons don't do the Gem any favors. I suppose the sharp, angled edges will appeal to some. But I've seen several low-end phones before with similar styling, so it does nothing for me. The 3.2-inch plastic capacitive touch screen offers 240-by-400-pixel resolution. That's an odd number of pixels that raises compatibility issues with third-party apps in the Android Market; virtually no other Android phone has this resolution. The pixel count also trails the Optimus U's 320-by-480-pixel, 3.2-inch LCD. Fonts looked fuzzy, and the LCD wasn't bright enough, either. The Gem's Swype keyboard is cramped, mostly thanks to the small screen size.
