One Look Kills

Apr 23, 2008

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

 

looks can be deceiving

Apr 22, 2008

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: great looks... big screen
Cons: less than impressive under the hood
Opinion:
Ive bought mine in Changi aiport and since I saw this initial reviews of this phone on cnetasia and youtube I have been waiting for a phone my treo 650 which Ive had for 2.5 years. And probably in my excitement of finding this phone on the market I took a leap of faith hoping that it would meet all my expectations.

Its certainly a head turner and if looks were your main criterion (plus touchcreen and querty keyboard) then this would be the phone for you. However, comming off a palm OS, I find the phone a bit lacking in the intuitive dept. While I could cut, paste, move and access information with ease on the palm, I find the the F-700 frustrating at first and just simply disapointing as I went along. Its just simply not user friendly enough to call itself a smart phone.

Call quality is okay, nothing fancy but Im very much missing ... Read more

 

This is NOT a USER REVIEW

Apr 5, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: It looks and sounds great
Cons: I can't actually USE it yet in Seoul
Opinion:
It would be nice if people who do not own and use this phone would not post there "reviews" in this section for USER REVIEWS. Why not post your comments in the DISCUSS SECTION where I would have posted this non-review if I believed that people would see it there. Since I am REQUIRED to give a rating to this phone, I am going to give it a big fat 10! This will not skew the ratings in any way whatsoever since it appears that most of the people submitting ratings have never actually touched the phone and the ratings are already unreliable.

 

Imitation is the best form of flattery

Mar 8, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Clean design, nice spec, slim, non WM6
Cons: No WiFi.. sigh
Opinion:
Once again... the iPhone is brought up and compared with

Before we go to that. i must say this phone caught my eyes.
I wanted this phone... very badly... but there's no Wifi on board..... why ~~~ if there wifi... i would have got this phone.....

Samsung is obnoxious for ripping designs from everywhere and putting them together and selling them .

from the Razr, N95 to the PSP to now, the iPhone.
But it lacks substance.
What the iPhone is delivery is not just quality built for it's frame, but the whole mac experience, which frankly, no other phone makers have yet and will be able to deliver.
motorola got pretty close with their linux OS but there are't enough eye candy to keep me addicted and to deliver a rich user interface.

Judging form the number of iPhones i have spotted, i would say not many are waiting for the 2008 ... Read more

Cons: Like i said before battery life a little low
Opinion:
