Review: Samsung Craft

Menus Calls / Contacts Messaging Social Networking

Making calls with the Samsung Craft is easy enough. A button for the Dialer and another for the Contacts list persist at the bottom of the home screen. If you want to dial from the call log, press the Send key to open your call history.

Once you're in a call, the phone presents an easy calling screen with large, touch friendly buttons. You can activate the speaker, send the call to a Bluetooth headset, or mute the call. There is no hold button. You can also send a text message or scribble a memo by tapping buttons on the call screen. There's an End Call button, but that seems redundant with a dedicated End key just below the screen.

You can make conference calls with the Samsung Craft, and though the process is simple, the phone offers no visual aid to help manage two calls at once. The phone also features voice dialing from Nuance, and the voice commands feature worked very well in my tests.
