GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 Review

Score: 35.2 / 100

GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 is a low-end Windows Mobile Professional cellphone released back in the year 2008, which counts with a 2 mega-pixels back camera, a fast processor ticking at 520 megahertz and a 2.8 inches touch-screen.

This cellphone is quite thick compared to today's phones, with a thickness of 0.58 inches. The GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 is 4.56 inches long and 2.32 inches wide, it just packs a smaller 2.8 inches screen. The GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 isn't very light for a device this size, with a weight of 4.69 oz.

Gigabyte decided to design this cellphone using a powerful 520 megahertz CPU with as little as 64 MB of RAM memory.

This cellphone has a interesting 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.8-inches screen, providing this cellphone with a nice graphic quality. This screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone features WiFi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

The GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 only has a 2 mega-pixels back camera.

The GIGABYTE GSmart MS800 comes with a good 1300 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will probably need to charge it if you use it heavily. Gigabyte says this cellphone has a 3.5 hours talk time and a 150 hs stand by time.
