Samsung M3200 Beat s review: Never miss a beat

Samsung M3200 Beat s may lack the Serenata sophistication or the feature set of i450 but it walks and talks music. And the dedicated music keys up front are just a bit of a taster. Inside the M3200 Beat s there's turn-to-mute, Samsung-style shake control and a full-blown music player. FM radio with RDS and audio recording, a brand new music recognition application and mood-based track sorting: Samsung just won't settle for less than the competition. The must-have 3.5 mm audio jack and a set of stereo speakers put the final touch, so it's music all the way or bust.
