If you've always been envious of the resplendent keypads sported by Blackberrys, but not quite so envious of their pricetag, the Samsung Ch@t could be right up your street. Running Samsung's Bada proprietary operating system and cramming all manner of useful features into a neatly designed package, the Samsung Ch@t offers performance and functionality without putting too much of a dent in your wallet.

Text addicts will appreciate the well designed tactile QWERTY keyboard as much as those who're constantly pinging emails back and forth, and serial web users will be suitably impressed by the easy to use WAP web browser too. Connectivity options come by way of microUSB data transfer and Bluetooth v2.1 whilst the multimedia side of things is looked after by a bundled MP3/eAAC+ and MP4/H.264 player.

A 1.3 MP camera with video recording capabilities will have you snapping away like nobody's business and viewing your handiwork back on the 2.2" (220 x 176 pixel resolution) TFT screen is a more than pleasurable experience. Throw in some added extras such as voice memo function, organizer and an FM radio and you've got yourself a nifty little handset.
