CNET Asia Review

Good

6

out of 10

View score

The good: HSDPA; Bluetooth stereo; 3.5mm audio jack; microSD expansion card slot; handy keylock button; vibrating haptic feedback.

The bad: Lack of tactility on keyboard; Croix UI a letdown; doesn't sync properly with Microsoft Outlook.

The bottom line: While the F700 has a decent list of specifications, it is crippled by the choice of software used. Put simply, there are better alternatives out there.

Don't judge the book by its cover



Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: Looks great, stylist and big screen
Cons: Touch screen not sensitve and slow in responding, cannot cancel call as short cut key always jam
Opinion:
Very bad phone. It is 1 of the worst Samsung phone I ever have. The touch screen is so insensitive and slow in respond. During sms, every word that you press came out at least 0.5-1sec slower and made smsthe most frustrating experience when using this phone. When trying to cancel a call after talking by pressing the shortcut key button, 7 out of 10 times will not respond and got to turn off the phone in order to cut the line. Send for repair twice and still the same problem happening again. I think its Samsung poor quality interface, software and being the 1st touch screen, looks like I am one of those genea pig to use this silly phone

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 3.6 HSDPA & Full internet browsing & Multimedia display
Cons: No Wi-Fi but again my needs is a phone and in that sence it is excellent value
Opinion:
Got mine on a handset upgrade package. Great improvement on my old Samsung E250 that I used just on 2yrs. But again the F700 fullfill my needs. Might not be up to scratch with high tech guys.

 

One Look Kills



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: the style of the phone, 3.0 Mp autofocus, really nice design, the Croix system
Cons: the Croix system, Wi-fi dont exist in such a stylish phone, oh its just a phone not PDA
Opinion:
Well when I my eyes first say this before the official launch this phone was like .. WOW A I PHONE killer.. then again when my hands first touch it, what a superb letdown, its really fasinating, the big screen the croix technology, the powerful vibration, lots of poking and jabbing on the screen later, found out that this phone is .. just a phone.. it can't do much, I kept thinking to myself.. this phone has wifi, dont know why but hey I would still give credit for its 3mp auto focus camera, its really well designed qwerty keypad and its really really big screen and thickness.

It should have thrown in the wifi, would have traded in my Dopod for it. I used this F700 for half a day, not really up to my expectation, but hey.. look on the bright side.. its not really expensive, only $298 with line and $698 for retail. get it ... Read more
