Pretty phone... Rotten phone...

Jan 30, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: A very nice "flower vase" not a friendly handphone...
Cons: Battery gone flat within 8 hours, just sms and mms the phone heat-up as high as 37 degree Celsius or more...
Opinion:
Indeed a pretty phone that I have but also a rotten and problematic phone as well...

This is my FOURTH PHONE already but still encounter various kind of problems and frustration as nobody from Samsung Service Centre can solved it for me even right now...!

I seldom make calls with this new phone because even though I have used the phone for less than 5 minutes, it gets heat-up very fast. My hand will feel very hot and numb most of the time...

So I don't really like to use the phone but still need to bear with it when the temperature rise up to 45 degree Celsius once again...

What I do when it heat-up, I will need to let it cool down... and also make myself be cool too...

I guess this phone is a "flower vase" to me as not a phone to me coz I really experience all these every ... Read more

 

Fast losing its value

Aug 12, 2007

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: sleek, can play wma files, good phone to handle
Cons: cannot multitask, poor battery life, gets heated up easily
Opinion:
Used it for 2 weeks after a change from 6280. Already quite disappointed that it cannot multitask. I need to exit the media player if i need to send messages/update my calendar etc. More disappointed that the headset is not able to change tracks, unable to use for answering when a phone comes during the media playing. Even more devastated that the Battery life is poor. At most 2 days. It will sure to shut down on me 1/2 hour after it shows low batt, even if i don't touch it.

 

Samsung still the best slider. No need instruction!

Pros: Big letters to read sms. Easy to use. Changing pic for wallpaper.
Cons: Must have spare battery and phone gets hot easily.
Opinion:
Just change from nokia N73 to this phone. No hang yet. Anyway not using too much function, and need bigger wording to read.

 

Sleek Phone With One Leg Tied

Apr 13, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Sleek and slim, good cam, great display, 3G, HSDPA, great buttons, video calling.
Cons: Gets hot easily, battery drains fast under heavy usage, cannot add in apps, PIM not feature rich.
Opinion:
After 3 long years of using a PDA phone (Treo 650), I decided to try out something sleek and slim, and decided on this Samsung.

It has all the latest features that you could ever want, 3.5G, HSDPA,3MP cam, front and back cam, slim, sleek,email support, PIM, the list goes on.

However, it is not as flexible as a PDA phone where you can add apps, customise it and upgrade software as your needs changes. It is not Palm,WM5 nor Symbian, so your legs would be tied if you are thinking about adding programs on it. The most you can do is ringtones, games, etc. If you are someone who intends to use the phone as it is, it is a great phone.

The included apps such as calendar and email support works fine, but is not feature rich at all. It just does the job.

All in all, it is a great phone, just ... Read more

 

A Lil Disappointed

Mar 14, 2007

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: The Cam, The Easy To Use Menu, Fast Response
Cons: Very lousy batt life, Heats up when msges keeps coming in, Unable to multi task
Opinion:
Overall phone is good..
However i think samsung has yet to address the issue of multi task.. Couldnt keep the media player playing when i am replying to msges.. Then theres the really short battery life.. I charged the phone over night when i 1st got it.. The usage on the following day is as followed some msges, 2 min video call, another few msges, 1 hour of media player, another few min of file transfering via bluetooth and the batt went flat..
