SAMSUNG P200 Review

UMA is a next-generation fixed-mobile convergence technology standard which allows for seamless handover between cellular networks and fixed IP networks (hot spots). Handsets with UMA technology allow free voice and data communication both in mobile and fixed modes.

Samsung’s UMA Phone (P200) allow free switching between cellular networks such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE and wireless LAN networks (WiFi), offering seamless connectivity.

The UMA phone thus has far greater mobility, compared to existing WiFi phones that can be used in a limited manner, only in hot spot areas.

For instance, with the UMA phone, high-speed large-capacity data communication or VoIP is possible though WiFi in places installed with hot spots such as at home and schools and in places without WiFi, the cellular network is used instead.

The P200 also comes in a sophisticated slide-up design as well as cutting-edge features including 1.3 mega pixel camera, a camcorder, multimedia messaging system (MMS), MP3 and file viewer functions.

Samsung announced their first mobile phone to work with the Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology. Samsung P200 is the first handset of the company which will use Wi-Fi (WLAN) technology to handle data and voice calls.

The idea behind that technology is simple enough - when there is an accessible Wi-Fi hotspot near you, for example in your home, office or university, or simply in the street, the UMA-enabled device would connect to it and use the broadband connection for making and accepting calls and sending and receiving data.

UMA is the clever bit with the Samsung P200, but beyond that it’s a very conventional slider phone. It looks exactly like a whole lot of other Samsung sliders, and comes with a 176×220 pixel display, 1.3 megapixel camera, an MP3 player, 80Mb of non-expandable memory and Bluetooth is a fairly lightweight device coming in at 95 grams.
