That curmudgeon Walt Mossberg had a look at the Samsung UpStage we made note of just yesterday & decided to rubbish it.
Walt starts off with a feint, calling the UpStage creative and a better music phone than the LG Chocolate, but the review goes downhill after that. He tears into-
1. The low battery life at only 7 hrs of music playback.
2. Low memory – as shipped it holds a mere 20 songs.
3. Use of the “flip” button to switch between music & phone.
4. Low-res screen on the music side of the phone.
5. Synchronization.
6. Confusing music controls.
…aside from these minor shortfalls, Walt seemed to like the UpStage.
