Almost Perfect but still room for improvement
Written: Aug 19 '05
Pros:mp3's, mpegs, mp3's as ringtones, camera, camcorder, really a computer
Cons:interface needs work, forced advertising. Difficult to learn controls. limited bluetooth functionality.
The Bottom Line: Outstanding phone, very powerful, definetly worth considering. User interfaced could be made easier to use.
This phone is one of the best phones currently on the market. it features a camera, camcorder, mp3 player, easy syncing with contacts in outlook and outstanding audio quality. While the phone doesn't seem to be lacking many features, there are a few drawbacks. Most notably is the lack of a lock feature on the phone. Rather then being able to choose to lock or unlock the phone, you must instead set the phone to timeout and it will autolock. This is annoying if you answer the phone and want to immedietly put it in your pocket. The user interface is also a little difficult to navigate and there is no way to remove programs that you could care less about. The biggest drawback in my mind is the difficulty of listening to mp3's. When listening to an mp3, if the phone goes into auto lock, it will force you to relaunch the media player in order to view the song playing, adjust the volume or pause the music. Instead of having an easy one push stop button, you must input your password, hit a button then 9 and then 3. This is most bothersome when you get an extra loud mp3 that pops on and you need to turn the volume down. Other then some minor user interface issues the phone really is fantastic though.
