good hardware, slow software

Mar 23, 2009

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: value for money, got all features
Cons: slow software
Opinion:
i bought this phone last wk. I was attracted by its wifi and GPS.
My last phones were K810i and Nokia 6120 classic.
pro: this phone is value for $, S$198 after trade in my N6120, and comes with everything: wifi, radio, GPS, 3MP camera, video, big screen... etc; oh, the contacts search is no longer confined to the 1st character of the name (which bothered me when using K810i).
con: software is buggy... selecting contacts for SMS takes more than 10s, some java games I downloaded hang when loading. Battery life is 2~3 days for normal usage, considerably shorter than my previous phones. I haven't figured out how to use wifi to browse, the phone doesn't ask (unlike Nokia wifi phone) when I have connected to internet. I have feeling the phone used 3G to go online, will check out my phone bill.
Generally it's a good "basic phone" if you don't mind the slow software response. if you got money, there are better phones out there.
