14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has finally stopped coming with new and amazing mobile phones that have left us drooling and now has released the C417 for the people that want a phone with a low-level price justified by a pretty basic set of features.
No problems in this area for this one, because the first thing you can be sure of is that the C417 will not offer you any type of high tech features; so you will be able to enjoy all the goodies with no interference from any kind of advanced digital camera or multimedia player.
The quad-band clamshell will be offered in Canada by Fido and the specification sheet mentions a basic VGA camera, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, an integrated web browser, picture messaging and a speakerphone.
If you decide to buy it, then you have to go to the nearest Fido store and be ready to pay 25 $ to get it home. Of course, if you haven't guessed yet, you will have to sign a service agreement with the carrier to get the handset at that price and you will give up your mobile freedom for 3 years.
So, before making any further decision, think about what you want: a basic featured phone or a high-tech mobile device. If it is the first and you happen to live in Canada, then the C417 is the right choice for you.
