There's not a lot I can say in defense of the camera's small, grainy, and dull images, except that it's better than VGA and fine for photo ID. The Gusto 2 does replace the original Gusto's VGA camera with a 1.3-megapixel lens, and it also doubles the phone's internal storage to 64MB. The Gusto 2 has a 1.3-megapixel camera, up from a VGA camera the first time around.

There are also game demos for Tetris and Uno, and you can download more games and wallpaper from Verizon's online store. I can't forget to mention Fake Call, an app that helps you slip away from awkward real-life conversations with a fictitious call that, gosh darn, you just have to take. What's surprising are the other features you can access: a browser, VZ Navigator's subscription-based turn-by-turn directions app, mobile e-mail, and hooks into social networking. Personal organizer tools include a calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a stop watch, a world clock, a notepad, and phone search. Of course, Verizon also outfits the Gusto 2 with the usual communication essentials of text and multimedia messaging and Bluetooth. The features won't be useful in the real world if phone owners don't know where to turn them on. One complaint I have is how difficult it is to find the various accessibility features, which are buried in settings submenus throughout the phone. The voice commands feature is another Verizon standard. Speed dial also comes standard, but what's nice is that as part of the enhanced accessibility features, you also get the three ICE numbers for emergencies, whisper mode (which makes it easier for recipients to hear soft-spoken callers), and audio readout for menus and submenus, texts, the dial pad, caller ID, and missed calls.

I like these physical buttons for the camera and speakerphone, but want software equivalents. The right spine is also home to a 2.5mm headset jack, another opportunity Samsung missed to elevate the Gusto 2 to the 3.5mm standard. I also wish that Samsung had added a little more redundancy with a software speakerphone option as well as the physical button. I had no problem pressing the buttons, but I'm imagining my grandma fumbling around and wishing they were larger and better marked. On the right is an identical rocker to launch the camera and speakerphone. On the left spine sits the volume rocker and Micro-USB charging port.

The Gusto 2 has quite a few other external buttons. You can also do things like turn vibrate mode on and off from the keypad, and launch voice commands. There are also shortcuts for ICE (in case of emergency) numbers, for the texting menu, and for voice mail access. The two soft keys and directional pad with the central select button take care of most navigation. Buttons are large, rubberized, responsive, and comfortable. There is support for 260,000 colors, and the colors look bright and deep enough.īelow the screens, the keypad is composed of some extensive shortcut and navigation buttons, and the backlit, alphanumeric dial buttons. It's disappointing that Samsung didn't improve the quality here.

Most simple phones bottom out at the QVGA resolution (320x240 pixels), so the result is a display that comes across as soft, rather than crisp. Like the original Gusto, the sequel has a QQVGA resolution on its internal screen, which means it uses only 128x160 pixels to display the picture. Here's where the first bit of bad news rears up.
