LaptopMag reviews the Samsung Blast SGH-t729 and writes, "The 1.3-MP camera took bright, clean, pictures up to 1280 x 1024 pixels, as long as you hold the phone steady; QCIF videos (176 x 144 pixels) are too tiny and pixelated to recognizably render anything but large objects in bright light. ... the Sidekick isn't as svelte as the Blast, and it lacks the Blast's MP3 capabilities. If talking, listening and shooting pictures are as important to you as e-mail and messaging, we'd recommend spending $50 more for the BlackBerry Pearl."
