User Review for Samsung SGH-Z540
Disappointed with this phone. Apart from the nice form factor and 3G function, there are many cons
Jan 12, 2007Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: nice form factor and 3G function
Cons: Many
Opinion:
1. Phone book - order of contacts always get jumbled up each time you switch off the phone, or each time you add a new contact or each time you edit an existing contact
2. Phone book - you can't change the order of the phone numbers (mobile, home, etc.) on your Outlook and then have the order synchronized onto your phone. It will always retain the order of home, office, then mobile. Very frustrating!
3. Caller ID - if you have saved several numbers to each contact, the caller ID does not show you which number that contact is calling you from (e.g. mobile or home)
4. Hangs frequently!!
5. No timer or stopwatch - this is a very basic function!!
6. SMS - can't save SMS into a separate folder. The only place to save it is in the INBOX!! Which means you can't do a "delete all" as long as there is 1 SMS you want to retain!!!
7. Alarm clock - very basic. Don't even want to elaborate, but it's basic
8. MP3 - you can't listen to music and do other stuff on the phone at the same time (e.g. SMS, look at your photos etc.)
9. Only 1 port for 3 functions - ear piece, charging, and synchronization cable! Who needs a phone that you can't multi-task with?? Ditto for (8) above
10. Camera - lags so much that if you don't have an EXTREMELY steady hand, your pictures will more likely be BLURRED! How bad can that be???
