Love the Samsung Halo. Best phone out there for sure. Would love to know if it is available on a prepaid plan. I know Straight Talk has quite a few Samsung phones on it's service... is the Halo one of them?

Samsung Beam I8520
I got these Samsung Beam end of last year. It seems that the phone hangs like nobody business. With a 750Mhz processor, the phone just lacks when opening applications.

Pico projectors made the headlines a few years back, but then, who would have thought even these could actually be condensed into the size of a mobile phone? Thanks to Samsung, the concept of pico projectors that retain not only the shape and size but the capabilities of a handphone have...

Samsung Galaxy Beam - the projector-phone review
Samsung reputation is for well-priced, high-quality consumer products, not for wacky off-the-wall devices. So when we heard it had launched a phone with a built-in projector we wondered if the conservative company was a having a little wild fling, or whether this was something seriously brilliant.

The Galaxy Beam is a run of the mill Android phone that boasts a built-in HD projector as its key feature, but with a brightness of just 15 lumens, we can't...
Pros:
- Built-in pico projector
- 12.5mm thick
- Good looking design
Cons:
- Brightness only 15 lumens
- Average specifications
- A little expensive given specs

Samsung Galaxy Beam
Will the Samsung Galaxy Beam be the projector-phone to finally crack the U.S. market? Slimmer, brighter, and more attractive than previous models, Samsung is pitching the Beam as a way for everyone to share their favorite movies and video clips with friends.
Cons:
- Runs Android 2.3 rather than 4.0
- Still not as bright as a dedicated projector

Samsung Galaxy Beam lights the way!
At a first glance, the Samsung Galaxy Beam features the generic smartphone appearance we have now become accustomed to. Do not be fooled. Samsung's latest smartphone sheds a light on ground breaking technology, sporting a projector module that shines with 15 lumen and nHD (640×360) resolution;...
