What a phone!, 26 Jan 2006
When I first saw this phone I didnt think it looked that good. How wrong was I! As soon as I got it I could not put it down because it looked and felt good in my hand. The screen is large and very clear. The sound is perfect. It does everything you need it to do and more. Forthe price you get a bluetooth phone that takes very good quality pics and semi good quality video. It also takes memory cards! Upto 512mb, which coincidently are available on amazon marketplace. So here are my pros and cons.Pros: Calls - Excellent, quality is very good on speaker phone too. Messaging - Legendary iTap is included, it is so good. Quickly write texts and mms. Bluetooth - works a dream, connected easily to my pc. MP3 Player - Sounds as good as my philips jukebox, but use the headset provided. Has a mini USB port too! Camera - Takes excellent pictures for a phone. Video - Will take video and will play mpeg4 or 3gp Looks - On the outside it isnt the best, but when you open it the neon blue makes you happy Cons: Orange Software - Due to orange not knowing what mobile users want, they have set the software to have a a toolbar that is also accessible through pressing the centre button, the toolbar is in the way on the left hand side of the home screen and annoying. Also the user manual that orange told me was generic, is not generic as it refers to "orange" so many times, the manual has features in it that don't appear on the phone. USB - Sometimes things transferred by USB dont show up, I find removing the memory card and reinserting does this. (mmc is hot swappable) External Screen - It is grayscale, but for priceI do not care much. All in all, considering you get bluetooth, an mp3 player, phone and camera, this can be considered as amazons greatest ever deal. Note: Orange give youcall credit, 300 messages, wap access credit...all to start with. No top up needed!
