Last time we tested a new ROM from Samsung (G4), we found there to be some modest changes to Omnia i900 (review).

The newest ROM, J1, adds some much-needed functionality as shown in the video above. Here's a round up of what is new:

1. Flick scrolling enabled
2. Choice of screen animations
3. Vibration feedback returns for the keyboard
4. New Profiles widget
5. DLNA Server application for sharing multimedia over a network (untested)
6. New build of Opera Mobile 9.5 (is a bit faster)

If you want the new ROM, grab it from the Samsung website. The Singapore ROM seems to work well for me (there is no USA release). Thanks to Darren W. for the tip!

If you're really wondering how long the huge battery on the Epix will last you, then you may want to check out Chris Leckness' experience over at Mobility Site. According to Chris, the device keeps going and going--for four days actually!

In a far from scientific test of the AT&T Epix, I was about to go 4 days without a charge. I charged up last Thursday night. Last night, Monday November 3rd, I charged again and the indication was that I had 20% battery left.

During the weekend, the phone was checking email (Exchange Push) and a couple short phone calls. Friday and Monday, the Epix got moderate use. Email checking constantly, an average of 1 hour of talk time, and about an hour of internet time.

Aside from the dull, non-spunky name of the handset, the Samsung GT-C6620 aims to replace the BlackJack and BlackJack II for the hip and yuppy crowd. Gone is the stale black look of the BlackJack and in is a new finish with two-tones. Nothing really extraordinary to report about the touchscreen-less Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard headset, which should feature a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and microSD according to CoolSmartPhone. There is also a custom user interface that Samsung had created.

We've been waiting for the Epix for about a year now. Thought to be the successor to the BlackJack II, the Epix brings a package that rivals that of the Palm Treo Pro, so it's no wonder that many are now deciding between the two of them for their next device. There's a lot we like about the Epix, and a lot we don't. Read on for a comprehensive look at the Samsung Epix!

Overall Rating:


The Good

Terrific one-handed usability

Great performance

Above average battery life

The Bad

No compelling software additions

No case/screen protector/extra stylus/headphones included

Feels thick

Buried in the depths of Java-based trialware on the Epix is a gem called MusicID. It'll "listen" to music, whether it's on the radio or coming out of a CD player, and tell you the artist and song within about 15 seconds. It's a great idea, and the accuracy is fantastic. It cost $3.99 per month after the 3-day trial, though it may be worth it for people that deal a lot with music. The software seems to be proprietary to AT&T, so it doesn't look like you can get it for any device - though there is a thread at XDA-Devs about it.

In this video, we cover the software of the Samsung Epix. We find that there is no interface replacement included, but Samsung does include a Today plugin that looks pretty nice, though offers limited functionality.

Going through programs, we find a lot of java-based trialware, plus the usual productivity apps like Office Mobile 2007 and Microsoft Voice Command.

From the settings, we can enable the on-screen mouse pointer, which is controller by the D-Pad area. So far, I'm enjoying the pointer feature, and have found it to make one-handed use quite easy. If you rather have the D-Pad work as the traditional 4-way selector, you can do so with the settings.

By default, when you tap the screen, you'll feel a small vibration to try to simulate the press of a button...this feature can be turned off, which may be a good idea, considering the use of battery.

We've got a full review coming up soon that will cover battery life, performance, and all of the software and hardware in more depth and detail. Stay tuned for that! Also, check out the hardware tour and ...

In this video, we cover the hardware of the new Samsung Epix. What's interesting about the Epix is that the button layout, plus the optical mouse, makes it very one-handed friendly - more so than any Windows Mobile device I've come across. Because there are hardware soft keys and a mouse pointer, you really have no reason to touch the screen (unless you're panning around in Opera Mobile or Google Maps Mobile), meaning that you can use your thumb with minimal travel to operate most functions of the device.

With the software, which we'll cover later, you can assign pretty much any key on the keyboard to launch a program. The power users will applaud this.

The device does indeed feel thick even though it's thinner than similar devices like the Palm Treo Pro and BlackJack II. I think this is because the edges are squared off, while on the aforementioned two devices, they are more rounded. Either way, the device feels solidly built.

Check back soon for the software run through. Also, did you see the unboxing?

I see a lot of phones past my desk, and this it the device that I've been waiting for, for quite some time. For me, this and the Treo Pro represent the ideal form factor: touchscreen, keyboard on the front, great one-handed usability. That said, I'm looking forward to putting the Treo Pro up against the Samsung Epix for those that share a similar sentiment on their phone preferences.

The unboxing experience for the Epix isn't terribly exciting, but nor is that of any AT&T phone I've seen. My first impressions of the device is that although it's relatively thin, it does indeed feel thick. This may be because of how the side are rounded off.

When using the device, there is a vibration after every tap. It is Samsung's attempt at haptic feedback. I'm still not sure if I will roll with it on or off - but probably off, since it's an unnecessary use of battery (though perhaps with 1800mAh of juice, it won't take a toll).

I'm really liking the keyboard - it's a nice break from the small size of the Treo Pro. ...

As Chuong posted earlier today, the Samsung Epix is out officially. Look for our unboxing sometime soon. And as he points out, the Epix has a huge 1800mAh battery. How huge is huge? Here are the battery capacities of some devices that you may know...

HTC TyTN II: 1350mAh
HTC Touch Pro: 1340mAh
BlackBerry Bold: 1500mAh
BlackBerry Storm: 1300mAh
Palm Treo Pro: 1500mAh
Samsung Omnia: 1440mAh
Samsung BlackJack II: 1700mAh

The Epix battery is - epic (how could we resist doing a play on the model name?). If you want to find a device with a higher capacity battery than the Epix, you'll have to turn your attention towards the HTC Advantage, which isn't exactly pocket-friendly, but packs 2200mAh. That said, we hope that the Epix makes good use of the huge battery and that it doesn't require charging but once every three days (yeah...we wish). We'll find out, soon enough =D.
