Samsung Trender SPH-M380 Sprint Mobile: Specs & Images

The attractive Samsung Trender measures 4.2 by 2.2 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs four ounces. It feels like a quality device, even though it's made entirely of plastic. The lightweight design and electric blue sides and back panel looked sharp on my review unit; you can also get one in purple. The smooth, flush, 2.8-inch, 240-by-320-pixel touch screen features vibrant color. Touch response is just okay for a plastic resistive LCD, and nowhere near as accurate as today's capacitive screens. It took two or three tries before many of my finger swipes and button presses registered. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard, on the other hand, is a gem. It features four rows of well-spaced, if flat, keys. I found the phone's small size and horizontal slider form factor made for a keyboard that's just the right width for fast two-finger typing.
