'Value' is its middle name
From the operating system to the hardware specs, the Samsung Gem is a reliable Android 2.2 Froyo phone for a great price. Nothing will wow you, but it'll get the job done.
Style
The Gem has a Select button inspired by a superhero, and interesting angles and lines.
Color and shape
The glossy black face and body are extremely shiny, maybe too shiny, but the Gem fits well in the hand and is quite light.
Virtual keyboard
The 3.2-inch screen size is smaller than we'd like, and it shows on a cramped virtual keyboard and small icons. Three and a half inches is a roomier size.
Camera
This pentagon sets off the Gem's 3.2-megapixel camera.
Lights and angles
Seeing the Gem in profile shows off some of its signature angles.
