Review: Samsung Exhibit 4G
Apps
The Exhibit is packed with applications. It has a number of games, such as Scrabble and DoodleJump. They are fun to play. The Exhibit also includes the new DriveSmart application for managing your phone when in the car. Other notable applications include Swype, LookOut, and Mini Diary. LookOut is a free security program. Mini Diary is similar to Evernote, and serves as a way for users to record thoughts and images in a diary-esque format. The Exhibit also ships with T-Mobile's AppPacks, which makes recommendations on what you might be interested in.
Bluetooth
The Samsung Exhibit has Bluetooth 3.0 on board. Pairing with devices such as mono and stereo headsets, as well as laptops was no problem. Call quality through mono headsets was quite good, though not as loud as through the earpiece on the phone itself. Playing music via Bluetooth speakers, the Exhibit sounded really good. The connection didn't cut out, as sometimes happens, and the clarity of music was excellent.
Clock
Press the power/lock key and you'll see a nice, large digital clock on the Exhibit's home screen. It's perfectly visible indoors, but much harder to see outside. In fact, I often couldn't see it when under a sunny sky. This clock can't be altered or changed. The clock application found in the main menu only shows you alarms, time zones, and such.
GPS
The Exhibit comes loaded with Google Maps/Navigation and TeleNav. Both are capable pieces of software for creating maps between points. TeleNav's navigation services makes it a bit easier to find nearby points of interest, and is faster at re-routing you if you get lost. The most recent update to Google Maps version 5.7 includes some great features, such as transit navigation for city-bound folk and offline map caching. Google Maps is free, of course, and TeleNav's services cost $10 per month.
