Samsung Ace from Sprint Review
In brief, the Samsung Ace runs on Sprint’s fast EVDO Rev. 0 and 1XRTT network. Unfortunately it does not support Rev. A and while roaming abroad you’re only getting GPRS. It’s a candy bar form factor with a decent size QWERTY keyboard and internal antenna; 5-way navigation button and thumb wheel for one-handed operation. Other features include Bluetooth 2.0; push e-mail capabilities, and good call quality. International voice and data capabilities allows for you to globetrot around the world and stay connected where Sprint has roaming agreements. If paying roaming fee isn’t your thing, then you’ll be happy to know that the Ace also accepts and in-market international carrier’s unlocked SIM card for voice and data services.
If you’re wondering why the Samsung Ace highly resembles AT I remember how much of a pain the butt it was to use. Thank goodness the numbers are grouped in a cluster on the Ace.
The headset and power adapter, along with the volume rocker lives on the left side. Like majority of Samsung handsets, the Ace uses a proprietary port, which quit frankly is annoying since it prevents you from using a standard 2.5mm headset or a mini-USB adapter to charge it. I’m not a big fan of this design decision – but oh well. At least the Ace comes a headset, travel charger and the proprietary USB cable.
As I’ve already mentioned earlier, the Ace only runs on Sprint’s Rev. 0 network, not the faster Rev. A networks. Even so, you’re still going to enjoy and average data speed between 400-700 kbps and peaks speeds up to 2.0 Mbps when accessing Sprint Power Vision services and content. The Ace is backward compatible to 1XRTT technology in areas where EV-DO isn’t yet available. This speed is definitely on par with ATheight:334px;">
