Fastest SE Phone Ever

Apr 4, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Fast Response, Well Equip
Cons: Not very durable
Opinion:
I was using a Nokia 5800 before, but trade it in for this. The G705 definately is fast for texting. The startup time may be a bit slow, but I hardly ever switch off the phone anyway.

GPS lock on is ultra fast. It never takes more than 20 seconds in Mong Kok, Hong Kong.

Wifi is a plus, though not neccessary, but does help a lot when I try checking e-mails when roaming.

Screen wise, the colour reproduction is great. Colour reproduction is is ok, better than the 5800, but lacking from a C902.

However, the paint on the direction pad has fallen off after 3 months. I wish they could be like the W910, at least, which condition is even better after a year's use.

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 ... Read more

Whole phone is wobbly, navigation keys dont respond, plastic back cover cracks, screen went blank.

Mar 4, 2009

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Fast internet access
Cons: Whole phone is bad! Very defective model, badly built.
Opinion:
I had the phone for 3 weeks, and during these 3 weeks, it was in the service centre for 1 and 1/2 weeks! The phone's built is sub par and it is very defective! The phone wobbles a lot when you are typing! Unlike the dummy one
on display which is built solid. And it actually emits creaking and cracking sounds when typing as the plastic cover behind is not fitted neatly with the
phone's body! Navigation keys dont respond, or slow to respond when I depress it, making it a real FRUSTRATION. I send the phone in for repair after 7 days of use. Then 2 days after I got it back from the service centre, the screen went blank on me with lines running on the top. I asked for a full refund or exchange to another model. The service centre then went quiet without responding to my ... Read more
