Perfect Slim

Mar 28, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Design and its balanced features
Cons: Not all in one phone and hopeless camera function
Opinion:
The phone form and design is pretty slim, firm and light to carry and I use this to surf internet using Opera Mini as well as other online application. With its 3.5G connection, the download speed is much faster than K770i. The Music function is also reasonably good giving me the enjoyable function of listening to music while surfing the net for news and checking ebay.

Sony Ericsson has a distinct segment for their Cybershot, Walkman and smartphone. With this, perhaps it is clearly differentiate the targeted users and at the same time it is also a major setback as most of us prefer all in one solution. Having said so, this particular model has a totally hopeless camera function which takes blur images for your candid shot and lacking of many functions in its camera department (things like auto focus, macro function, flash etc) which perhaps compensated by its strong music function. Anyway, hopefully SE consider of making Cybershot this slim.

Connecting to PC is a bit of a hassle but once it is done, the included applications are good for all the necessary conversion and synchronisation.

I like how this hp handles internet browsing thanks to its HSPDA connection that allows me to download articles in jiffy from the Opera Mini. Battery last quite long and design is very slim which allow to use this hp as second gadget to kill MRT/bus ride time reading news and checking ebay. The hp also has email function that allows me to download POP3 email account. Other than these, I also use this phone to my gmail as well as msn live functions like hotmail and its MSN Messenger to chat with online friend.

There are plenty of applications that can be freely downloaded and installed from SE website (link provided in the phone). Noted, however, SE does not have pdf reader unlike its strongest competitor Nokia (even the lowest range of Nokia phone comes with reader and office docs viewer). But hey, who will squint onto the small screen to read office document? All in all, this is a great phone to have and with the price of around $200 from ebay, I think it is a great bargain.
