became a mere good phone

May 6, 2009

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: works well
Cons: my god, battery sucks how dare they launch it
Opinion:
i dont use gps, occasionally use camera so am not bothered if these are merely good. the phone works well, no sluggishness and i like the contact management, i think its superb coz of its flexibility - for example - you can set different default numbers for making a call, sms, etc.

while the track-ball isnt the best (sometime frustrating when scrolling long up or down), it is the battery life that surely makes it a deal breaker, wish i'd known before i bought it. how dare they ?

- swithced off 3g
- total call minutes (outgoing + incoming) 45-60 mins/day
- one SMS Chat open all the time for texting about 50 sms sent/day
- and the battery lasts only 10 hrs after fully charged.... so by 7 or 8pm i'm out of contact.....
i should get my money back...

Good Attempt by Samsung

Pros: Wifi, Trackball, Decent screen size, easy to use interface(Symbian)
Cons: Terrible Battery life, Wifi, 3.2MP Camera with poor flash for taking pic in the dark, conventional design, Cannot sync with MACBOOK.
Opinion:
To begin, i550W comes in an conventionally designed box. Not appealing to me as compared to the presentation used by Nokia, SE and best of all, Iphone. Please make your package more attractive!!!

i550w comes with many standard accessories like headphone, 1GB MicroSD, Charger, 1 Batt only (those who r using will know why i add in the word only), instruction booklet, CD for GPS and PC Suites. So nothing special on these stuff.

I had a hard time getting the GPS to work. I tried activating it but it didn't work. Really do not know what i did and the GPS finally work. It's a Miracle. Searching for a location is quick for me. 1st time using a GPS to help me find my way in Singapore so there's no way for me to compare with other phone models or GPS unit.

On paper, this phone has everything. I like the fact it has WIFI. ... Read more
