illogical design and buggy

May 15, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: screen resolution; multimedia features; 3.5 mm audio jack (so useful)
Cons: camera; design; heavy weight; buggy!
Opinion:
when I got it out of the box, i scrolled down the manual and other guide stuffs included. I switched on the phone and I was amazed because of the nice screen. I immediately transferred some music files from my pc and then, the screen prompted: memory card corrupted! I was planning to return it to the mobile store, but the problem was remedied when I switched the phone on and off. Well, the speakers are good when I played the music.

But, the major drawback was the illogical key controls! I can't understand why and how did they arrive at such design! when I was creating a message one tym at 3am, I accidentally hit the play/pause button and then the music played! The navi-wheel/d-pad (whatever u may call it)is annoying! it is absolutely a trying hard i-pod! and it is only limited to multimedia applications.

The wi-fi! yeah, the wi-fi is mediocre. There are some webpages which it cannot display or some of the pages are missing when browsing a particular website. (too bad) It is actually disappointing.

The N-gage application, ok. its just ok. Nothing special.

The phone cannot handle different activated applications. it would sometimes switch off, erase some files like images or worst, it would freeze like a frozen chicken in a fridge.

The camera is not good, its only 2mp. I dunno what came into the mind of nokia people with regard to the camera feature of this phone. It is supposed to be an upgrade of some buggy N-series, but its actually a continuation.

This phone will not stay longer in my life. I am planning to dispose this after 6mos. Its giving me some insurmountable headaches.

Not worth every penny I paid for.
