Tech Take: Hands on with the Samsung Galaxy Win

I haven't had a Samsung phone in the past. For years, I've been using Nokia before I tried one of Sony Ericsson's Symbian phones. It was followed by two Motorola Razr phones. I went back to Nokia and got a the C7 before I shifted to BlackBerry 9220. I can't remember how many times I changed mobile phones Back in 2007, I was a mobile phone savvy, I remember the Asus phone worth P14K which unfortunately did not lasted a year. From then on, I started to lose interest.

I've been telling my husband that I wanted an Android phone, so last Christmas he gave me MyPhone A888 Duo as a Christmas present! Though it has been very useful to me and I have no complaints about it, next time I would choose from the wide-selection of an affordable yet powerful Samsung smartphones.

It was in Samsung's Fun, Game-Show inspired event that I first saw this budget-friendly smartphone, Galaxy Win!
