Reveiws:
Samsung has developed something of a penchant lately for assigning nicknames to its cell phones. In the past couple months alone we've seen the Beat, the Blast, and the Hue. Sometimes, we're not always sure where the monikers come from--we're still hung up on the "Upstage"--but other times the name makes perfect sense. Take for example, the new Samsung Gleam for Verizon Wireless. Though we were skeptical at first, the Gleam (aka the SCH-z700) does gleam in the sunlight. Its skin is highly reflective and shiny, particularly the gold and black model that we reviewed. The feature set is mostly high end; it has Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, and a music player, and it supports the usual set of Verizon 3G services. Call quality was fine, though multimedia performance was mixed. The Gleam is available for $149 with service.
