The attractive and speedy Samsung Continuum’s secondary ticker display can be useful, but it isn’t for everyone.Read more
The Samsung Continuum is a unique dual display Android powered smartphone recently released on Verizon's network. The Samsung Continuum has a 3.4 inch Super AMOLED screen and a 1.8 inch Super AMOLED ticker screen. This Samsung Continuum review covers not only the ticker but the design, display, hardware, software, user interface, and features of the phone. The Samsung Fascinate was just released a few weeks prior to the Samsung Continuum which is an odd timing choice. The Continuum features a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor and runs on Android 2.1. In addition, the Samsung Continuum features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. The ticker on the Continuum is an extremely unique and useful addition to a beautifully designed smartphone.Read more
