Parting Shots: Samsung Ace

We wrapped up our review of the Samsung Ace from Sprint today and the phone turned out to be a solid smart phone. That's not to say that it doesn't have its negatives, however, starting with the poor camera, lack of Office Mobile and a price tag twice as high as comparable smart phones. The Ace's key feature is the ability to function on both Sprint's CDMA network and international GSM networks. This makes it a big winner for international travelers. If this isn't an issue for you we recommend saving $100 and going with the Palm Centro (review), which provides similar functionality. If you're not married to Sprint you can also go grab the Blackjack II (review), which is very similar to the Ace but with some upgrades like a better camera, from AT&T for half the price as well. Plus it will work on any international GSM network as well.
