If you've always wanted a phone with a BlackBerry-style QWERTY keypad, but not wanted to pay BlackBerry prices, then the Samsung Chat could be right up your street. Running Samsung's Bada proprietary operating system and cramming all manner of useful features into a neatly designed package, the Samsung Chat offers performance and functionality without costing too much.

The well designed QWERTY keyboard is well-suited to those who are constantly pinging emails or messages back and forth. Connectivity options come by way of microUSB data transfer and Bluetooth v2.1 whilst the multimedia side of things is looked after by a bundled MP3/eAAC+ and MP4/H.264 player.

The Chat has a handy 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording, photos and video clips can be viewed on the 2.2 inch (220×176 pixels) TFT screen. Throw in some added extras such as voice memo function, organizer and an FM radio and you've got yourself a nifty little handset.
