The Monte is a mid-range touchscreen device that boasts of a 3-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen capable of displaying 256K colours at 240x400 pixels. It runs Samsung's proprietary OS over the TouchWiz 2.0 interface. The 3G Ready handset comes equipped with a host of features that include a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi and FM radio. It supports bluetooth 2.1 and A-GPS. The phone is priced similarly to the existing Corby range and might be a good alternative to those who wants a phone that performs likes the Corby - but doesn't share the brand name and a built in Wi-Fi chip which is not commonly found on mobile phones in its price range.
As for the other features of the Monte, it comes with 200 MB of internal memory - which is quite large - especially for a phone in its price range. Of course, you can expand the memory using microSD cards. The phone is multimedia ready, packs in a very capable MP3 and video player and 3.5mm audio jack is also built-in. The Monte also comes loaded with Google Maps. The phone will set you back by a cool Rs. 8,850 - which seems to be a very good price for the features you get with this device. You might want to rush to a Samsung dealer to check out this one in action.
