The most interesting non-smartphone news to come out of MWC this year
from Samsung may have been the announcement of the Beat DJ, the
wild-looking oval of a phone filled to the brim with advanced music
and mixing capabilities, an AMOLED display, and DivX / Xvid
support. The handset's been on sale for a little while now (not in
North America, naturally, but in more phone-friendly parts of the
globe) and GSMArena has put it through a battery of tests
and torturous studio photography sessions for us all to enjoy. If
you're worried that the shape of the Beat DJ detracts from its
usability, that's the very first thing the site clears up -- the
reviewer says that it's actually quite comfortable and usable in
the hand despite the bulbous ends. We were disappointed to hear
that the TouchWiz interface lagged out from time to time and
there's no QWERTY keyboard available -- a major faux-pas for a full
touchscreen phone -- and while the mixing interface looks cool, it
turns out to be basically unusable in practice because it's too
slow and choppy. Last thing you want to do is piss off a crowd full
of moderately drunk revelers who've invited you to plug into their
PA system and mix some beats by laying down some mega-lame
"scratches," so it seems that the concept might be more of a
novelty than a practical solution until they drop a faster
processor in there.
