A "Beat" is a Music focused mobilephone series belonging to Samsung. So far, there are 4 mobilephones belonging to this series. These are the sexy Samsung M2520 Beat Techno slider, the simple Samsung M3510 Beat, the stylish but less popular Samsung M6710 Beat Disc and the disco phone Samsung M7600 Beat DJ. All of which have, of course,a different set of features.

What I'm going to introduce to you now is the most popular among all these Samsung Beat series. Its success is widely known throughout the world. It was made for mass market and somehow succeeded. This is the Samsung M3510 Beat.

It is a very simple and practical mobilephone. It has a decent solid bar type design and has the features of a good music phone, although it's a bit low end. Still, the price is what really makes it shine. Considering its features, Samsung M3510 Beat is more than what you paid for.

Here are the details for this affordable music phone

Design
The Samsung M3510 Beat has a straight forward solid bar design. A good sized 2 Inch TFT 16 Million Colour Screen on the front and ergonomic keys on the bottom. The screen display is 240 x 320 pixels resolution – it is clear and bright, comfortable to the eyes. It has dedicated music keys in the middle just above the Navigation Pad. These are keys that will let you skip forward or track back the songs.

The Samsung M3510 Beat only weighs 68 grams which is very light and feels like you're not carrying anything at all. I also like the detailed designs on the mobilephone. My favorite color theme is the Black and Gold. The details are nicely placed and even though it has a simple casing form, the colored details on the side and keys is enough to add beauty to this phone.

Multimedia
Entertainment is the best feature of the Samsung M3510 Beat. It's nothing like the Nokia N97 or Samsung Omnia 2 or any Multimedia Smartphone, but it's enough and even better in terms of how much is costs.

It has a clear sounding Music Player. It is capable of playing MP3, WMA and AAC. The clear sound is emphasized by its DNSe Sound and it also has an Equalizer. The Video Player can play MPEG4 and 3GP.

Aside from the dedicated music keys, the Samsung M3510 Beat has a Shake control. Just by shaking the mobilephone you can easily change the song. However, the Shake control of the Samsung M3510 isn't very responsive. Also, it's quite inconvenient that the dedicated music keys won't work if you put it on lock...

On a separate article, here are the tips and tricks of the Samsung M3510 Beat

Camera
The Samsung M3510 only has a 2 Mega pixel camera. Nothing much.

Calling
As far as calling is concerned the Samsung M3510 Beat is all you need. It has a Tri Band frequency utilizing GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. And of course it doesn't have 3G Video Calls.

Messaging
The phone supports SMS (Text Messaging), MMS (Multimedia Messaging), Email and Instant Messaging. It also has Email and Predictive text functionality.

Internet
Although the Samsung M3510 Beat is a low feature phone, it does provide good Internet capability. It has EDGE, HSCSD and GPRS. It has WAP 2.0 XHTML but you can also install other browsers of you preference.

Conclusion
Overall, the Samsung M3510 Beat is an excellent phone in its price range. It has above average features that only high quality phones normally have. It's a practical mobilephone that does what it was built to do, play music and play it good.
