We’ve seen the Comet from T-Mobile on these pages before, and so, it’s about time we got a look at it. It’s not going to be the best phone we’ve come in contact with, but it’s still going to have quite a bit to offer.
The Comet is a smartphone running Android 2.2, with a 2.8 inch touchscreen, and offers Bluetooth connectivity, GPS systems, a microSD card slot, speakerphone, mobile web, mobile email, support for text, multimedia, picture and instant messages, the usual array of Google services (you can’t very well have an Android phone without Google services), a 3.5 mm headphone jack, support for a variety of webmail and social networking systems (included in the list is Gmail, Yahoo. Facebook and Twitter), music player, video player, FM radio, YouTube player, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, and a battery that yields fully nine hours of talk time on a single charge.
See, a lot of this is pretty good. There are plenty of features, the camera isn’t terrible, there are lots of great connection options, and the touchscreen is large enough and looks pretty nice. The downside on this one, meanwhile, is its control scheme. They’re pretty cramped in, and the overall feel of the thing is surprisingly cheap and flimsy, but perhaps worst of all, moving from menu to menu moved at a surprisingly slow pace.
Still though, if you’re the patient sort and you want an inexpensive Android phone that still brings a lot of the features you’ll want, the Comet from T-Mobile is one to check out.
