mp3 player & phone in 1, great built in speakers, imaging is bad and lacks wi-fi

Nov 26, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 3.5mm headphone jack, great sound specially when used with sennheiser earphones
Cons: sensitive slider, camera is a crap
Opinion:
over-all the I-450 gives u a thumbs up because its the only phone with built in speakers that gives u a bang! another thing is that it has expandable memory up to 4gb so its not bad for music storage.the sound quality is also very good and for a very best result, use a sennheiser earphones in its 3.5mm headphone jack! party! S60 interface is another good thing about I-450, its very user friendly. The DOWNSIDE? camera is full of shit. oh well its a music phone. and most of all No w-fi connectivity..

 

Reasonably price, yet solid performance from handphone

Nov 24, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Solid build, simple menus, great sounds and display
Cons: No built-in games, which I really don't mind
Opinion:
The phone was built by Samsung, hence has it patented very crisp and clear LCD... bundled with Symbian 60 OS which is Nokia's user-friendly platform for mobile phones. So what more can one ask for - a phone with Samsung's build quality yet has Nokia's easy-to-use interface?

Packaged as a music phone, it functions much like the N95 with slide up and slide down option, with slide up to enable music functionalities. Sound quality from built-in speakers is awesome, much better than my P1i which is about 300 US dollars more expensive at launch. Supports microSD, in a hot swappable manner (slide the card in or out via the phone's card slot on the side of the unit, no need to remove batteries or back cover); my unit came with a 1GB bundle. Texting and calling is a breeze, ringtones and alert tones are very loud at maximum volume, which in the past has been ... Read more

 

It uses S60 without WiFi.

Aug 2, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: S60, NaviWheel, 3.5mm jack
Cons: No wifi, soft music quality
Opinion:
I was caught in between W910i and i450. In the end, I choes this as i heard from my friends, that sony ericsson phones needed servicing often and I m lazy to go down to repair it. Also, it got no flash for camera.

 

Not perfect, but still one of the best phone

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Love the design,navigation really user friendly,stunning sound quality
Cons: No wifi,touch key a little bit tricky,camera quality
Opinion:
My fourth phone, start with Nokia, Samsung, S.Ericsson, and i450.
My previous phone is SE K750i, which is fantastic. So it is really hard for me to decide the replacement.
Finally take i450,good decision for me.
Really love the design (I like blue ^^), dual slider is cool. The music GUI is really nice..and sound quality..WOW.
Although you will notice the decrease in sound quality if you use internal speaker and you not slide down your phone (enter music mode).
The user interface is really friendly, I don't need user guide document to understand it (Samsung not include it in the package :( ). Nokia user will feel at home instantly.
Fast respon and nice color.
Now the bad, I still can't get the hang of the touch key. Sometimes it is not respon to my finger. Also the main navigation key has a problem (or maybe my finger is to big..) when I try to press the right key ... Read more

When use with SINGTEL 3G SIM Card, the backlight will switch on and off by itself, causing the battery need to recharge every 2 days.
