Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 2.2 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Samsung DUOS W169. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the Samsung DUOS W169 very cramped. Yes, 0.3 MP is not that great camera resolution. There are so many smartphones with better megapixels sometimes even cheaper than this phone. I love clicking pictures with my smartphone and this one doesn't seem up for it. My smartphone should do a lot of things simultaneously and not just basic messaging, emails and browsing. And the 2G network is too slow to do anything more than that. I always forget charging my phone so USB charging via my laptop is really a good option for me and sometimes I even use this port to transfer music and images. The internal storage in the Samsung DUOS W169 is quite stingy with the tiny 0.042 GB. I don't know what it is good for when it can hardly hold any of my media files.
