Mission 7 part 2 - overview

Ever since hearing that I’d been chosen as a Samsung Mob!ler, I’ve had a fantastic time testing their new devices. This is the final mission, and I must admit, I really will miss my weekly Samsung tasks.
The mobiler process has taught me so much, and I got a chance to explore two fantastic new devices in great detail, which I very rarely get the chance to do. I was extremely excited when I received my Samsung Wave very early one Saturday morning, and had so much fun exploring the operating system of the handset, downloading apps, and testing out the excellent quality camera. The Mobiler process encouraged me to use my handset for things other than I usually did, such as e-mail and apps.
The Samsung Wave that was sent to me is a brilliant handset, with so many features that I love, and enjoy using. I am now using the Wave as my primary handset, and can’t see myself changing it anytime soon. It has totally surpassed my expectations, and the quality is absolutely fantastic. The only small reservation I had at first was the lack of accurate sat nav maps for Northern Ireland, but now I have my Samsung Galaxy Tab I’m not so worried about this anymore. I’ve also noticed that, in the short time that I’ve been using the handset, the number of apps available for the Bada platform has greatly increased, and it’s fantastic to see such an improvement in app development in such a short space of time.
As soon as I heard that I would be receiving a Galaxy Tab of my very own I was absolutely ecstatic! I couldn’t wait to get home to open the package the day my mum phoned me to tell me it had arrived, and when I did open it, I was not disappointed! The Tab is an amazing device, and I really enjoy using it. I love that I can view my emails on a large screen, without the need to click through to various pages to read the full content. The swype texting is also a fantastic feature, which makes text input so much quicker and easier than on any handset or device I’ve ever used before. I particularly enjoyed mission 5, which involved reviewing an app, as it finally gave me a chance to play angry birds, and I must say; now I’m totally addicted. Any time I’m in work, everyone wants to use the Tab to play angry birds, because the big screen effect is just unreal!
I feel so privileged to have been chosen as a Samsung Mobiler, and I’ve really enjoyed every aspect of it. I’m just a little sad that I wasn’t able to attend either of the meet-ups, due to a very hectic university and work schedule.
After all the missions have been completed, three of the twenty UK Samsung Mobilers will be chosen to visit Samsung’s world headquarters in Korea to attend Mobiler day. I would absolutely LOVE to be one of these chosen three, as I think it would be an amazing, truly once in a lifetime experience. I would relish the opportunity to meet other Samsung Mobilers from across the world, and to hear their stories about their mobile experiences, as well as sharing mine. I would also love to have the chance to see the world headquarters of a company so prolific as Samsung, especially as, in my line of work, I recommend and sell many of Samsung’s products on a daily basis to a variety of customers, and it would be brilliant to get an insight into the workings of the company and the people behind the products. I would also enjoy the experience as I hope it may give me the opportunity to gain an insight into any of Samsungs product ideas for the future, and to learn of any further directions the company is taking as a whole, as I am very interested in marketing, as this is part of what my university degree is based on.
A trip to Korea would also give me the chance to experience a slice of another culture, and to enjoy life in a different continent, even if only for a short while.
I would like to express my thanks to Samsung, and the team at JAM who have facilitated the Mobilers, for giving me this fantastic opportunity, and for providing me with two excellent devices which I don’t think I’ll ever give up!
