The Galaxy from Samsung is a phone that aims to take on the iPhone4. Our guide looks at its key features to decide whether this is something it can do. One area that’s received lots of praise is the excellent 4 inch screen. The phone also looks quite similar to the iPhone4 with the exception of an interesting curved back.

One of the best points of the phone is the touchscreen, which reacts instantly when you use it. It’s helped along by the superb 1GHz Samsung processor, which offers excellent speeds. While the phone is pleasingly simple to navigate, the menu system could be more intuitive in recognizing commonly used apps. Also, an issue with the contacts system is that if you import your contacts from the SIM, you can’t then delete them so you end up with duplications. If you can remove them, it’s not clear how.

The keyboard of the phone is good and uses Swype technology, which benefits the excellent messaging system. This incorporates social media. The Samsung Facebook app is, for instance, better than the official client, although it would be nice to see a similar portal for Twitter. It’s also really easy to set up the email system and the other messaging features such as IM are very good. While the call quality is okay, the speakers are slightly quiet – not that surprising for such a tech-based phone, though.

One of the flavor of the Digital Subscription Line system that is being extensively use today is the ADSL; acronym for Asymmetric Digital Subscription Line. The copper line that is used in the telephone system used in carrying voice directly on the line is what this technology is also using. This system uses the higher frequency of the existing phone line of the telephone system, higher than the frequency of what the voice signal is using on the same system.

Without putting in or distributing more resources to lay the line for data, it provides the Telephone Service Provider an existing platform or infrastructure to run their digital and data signal. Normally, when the signal intended for the customer reaches the terminating point, it will pass thru a MODEM which converts it back from analog to digital and vice versa. Usual DSL signal uses frequency starting at around 25.875 kHz and above. On the Telephone Service Providers end, DSL terminates at the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which splits the digital signal from the voice signal and hands it to the appropriate equipment that will forwarded the signal.

Talking about the amount download speed and the upload speed and business broadband prices, this is where most of the DSL vary from other DSL technology. For ADSL the download speed is higher in accordance with the upload speed compared with other flavor of DSL.
