Room to expand
On the Samsung Ativ Odyssey's left side sit a thin volume key and a microSD card slot (under flap) to add more storage.
Snap pics in a flash
On the right side of the Samsung Ativ Odyssey is a power button, plus there's a dedicated shutter key that wakes the phone's camera even from standby.
USB port on the chin
The bottom edge of the Samsung Ativ Odyssey features a sole Micro-USB port.
An all-plastic back
The back of the Samsung Ativ Odyssey is made from rather cheap-feeling plastic. It's slippery and attracts finger grease easily.
