Samsung GT-M2710 review

van_helsing_80 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

It is a good phone + a bad phone, resulting in a confusion. The first thing I didn't like is the screen utilization of the OS. Useless headings stays and captures the screen which could be used for displaying more content. As it is a music phone, it has a dedicated music button with 3 more buttons for play/pause, forward and rewind. The music button fails to work when JAVA applications are used. It isn't fully compatible with JAVA applications, thus most JAVA applications won't run. The User Interface gets insanely sluggish when the music player is started. On Radio you can even have fun of using one of the JAVA applications.
