I have only had this phone for just under 24 hours. So far I have a positive opinion of it. 1. Reception: Appears to be very good. 2. Screen resolution: Very good. Able to read small text easily. 3. Touch screen: Very responsive when using fingers or the stylus. I sometimes need to press firmly to click through links or push accept on-screen buttons. 4. Navigation: Scrolling is extremely responsive. 5. Phone mode: Very good sound quality and people report hearing me well. I did hear a little bit of static when speaking to someone, but that may have been on their end. 6. Speaker phone: Works well. Tried having a conversation with my brother who has an iPhone and had difficulty hearing him while driving in my car. This is probably due to the background road noise and due to the iPhone's poor sound quality (he tried using the iphone as a speaker phone, hand-held, and with a headset). 7. Camera: Have taken one picture in a poorly lit room, and it came out reasonably well. Good enough to create profile pictures and take occasional pictures. 8. Internet connection: Very fast. Getting 800k down and 350k up. 9. Included web browser: Very fast. Loads pages much faster than the 755p or even the iphone. This is probably due to the much faster EVDO rev-A connection and faster processor and sufficient RAM. 10. Weight: Reasonable. 11. Build: Feels sturdy in the hand and easy to hold. 12. Interface: Relatively easy to scroll and move around the screen and accept/select options. Sometimes, I feel I need to use the stylus to move the page around or to select items, and this will get easier with practice. Update: After having this phone for 2 weeks, I have the following complaints: Battery life is pathetic. Even with screen lightly lit (3rd bar from lowest), bluetooth off, wifi off, and email synchronization off, the phone's battery life drains quickly upon use for browsing the web or checking directions, or talking on the phone. Windows mobile was not designed for touch screens. It is hard to move pages around (you need to use the directional button), and it jumps from page to page, so if you don't read the last light of page one, when you press down, you can't see that previous line. The buttons do not really make sense when compared to the palm version. You need to hit the green talk button to get to the home screen (or hit "ok" a bunch of times). Similarly, to add a contact, or to check call history, you need to navigate through screens, which makes it annoying, confusing, and slow to get to previous callers. When you type in a persons name, and want to "edit or view all their contact info", if you accidentally, hit the middle directional button when highlighting the person's name, it immediately begins to call them, and the windows lag prevents you from canceling the call before it goes through. Speaker phone and regular speaker (even with the included headset) are pathetic. Unable to use speaker phone while driving as it is not loud enough and when you do turn it up it overtenuates (blares) causing me to be unable to understand the other person. Similarly, the other person has trouble understanding me. Voice quality when holding phone normally, is good, though not as good as my previous Sanyo 4920, and the voice quality (earpiece) definitely has static and the max volume is sometimes not enough. Touch screen can be responsive, and I tried using Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta which sort of works like the Iphone touch interface. However, trying to select links is hard, I generally need to angle my fingernail or use the stylus and poke at the screen repetitively to get it to work. The phone does have great bandwidth capability, I clocked it at around 1.2 MBit download and around 600 KB upload which is great. So, I don't recommend this phone for most users, as you will get frustrated with the interface and the battery life.Back To Top |
