Looks n feel great, UI disappointing

Jul 11, 2006

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Great camera, nice packaging overall
Cons: Poor UI, very slow controls
Opinion:
Was very impressed by the camera and the overall outlook. Feels nicely weighted and sized.

Using it was another story. The user interface (UI) do not seems to have improved much since the days of the "scorpion" phone. Calendar was only means of having an organiser. No place to store notes. Alarm has no snooze funtion too.

To send a new sms, fastest way is to go to contact, select sms b4 typing your message. If not, expect to take about 6-7 steps to add a new contact/number for your message before it gets sent out!!

Getting to the sub-menu at times is quite trying when you are in a hurry. Although the phone allows the user to programme short-cuts to the sub-menus, activating them also requires some waiting. This is compared to my prev SE K700i.
