Really Cool phone at a good price

9 Dec 2008 Ruta9

9.3 out of 10

I got this phone a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to buy a symbian smartphone so I could install apps, games and so. I wanted to buy Nokia 5320, becouse it was cheaper, but this one has built in GPS, wifi and FM transmitter.


The phone performance is awesome, it is easy to use right out of the box, even for someone like me who never had a smartphone before.


the screen is bright and the image quality is great. sound quality es very good using earphones and the stereo speakers work fine as well.


Built in applications are OK, comes with adobe reader, quick office(only lets you read docs, not edit them), zip, calculator and unit converter. There are lots of websites where you can download tons of apps and games for this phone.


GPS works well, takes a while to get the location the first time, but that happens with every gps I know.


Wifi works great, I got connected on restaurants, shopping malls, etc.


The camera takes good pictures, I have a good camera so I don't care about this feature so much. Still it is an ok camera if you don't have a better one at hand. The flash is useless if you want to take a picture of someone standing more than 1 m (3 ft) away.


The FM transmitter was factory disabled, I needed to search the web for the way to unlock it. It is really easy to do. You just have to change the product code and upgrade the firmware.


I didn't like the keyboard so much, the number keys are close together and are sometimes hard to press if you have large fingers like I do.


The D pad paint chipped off 2 days after I started using it. That sucks!


I hated the back cover right from the start, it creeks sometimes when I press the keys, i has a very shiny finish that scratched really fast. I need to put my phone in a silicon case soon.


My battery runs out in less than 24hs, I use the phone a lot, but I expected a bit more battery life. Wall Charger works great, takes 1hour to fully charge it.
