So I thought I'd write a little review from the perspective of someone who's not quite sure what makes a phone good...
Anyway:
Thismorning, I recieved a nice little package via special delivery. This after being told I wouldn't get it til the 18th because they were out of stock. How this one got here, I have no idea
So I was pretty excited and whacked it on charged and patiently waited. After about 2.5 hours I took it off charge and had a play.
First thing I noticed was that there are no games included. You get 5 demos, that you can only play for 30 seconds :/ Pretty poor for an expensive phone. (Also, Im not sure why the first thing I look at is games???)
Played around with the interface and changed my theme. Moving between screens is very fast which impressed me. Looks very slick and simple too. Only thing I dislike is the placement of some settings in various menus.
Camera next... Autofocus is brilliant and the flash is fairly decent. The overall quality of pics is excellent. Videos are also impressive, I was confused at first because I could only take short clips, but it was because it comes auto set to size for MMS... Undoing that makes the video infinate I think... Well over a few mins as I tested it... Lack of lense cover on the front kind of sucks, but the plastic seems very hard... So hopefully it'll be alright...
The phone itself feels very sturdy and has a feel of quality to it. The swivel mechanism is good although I'd like it to swing back with less input. The buttons are very nice and press well and feel solid.
Not been able to try bluetooth or anything yet...
After playing about without purpose. I hooked it up to the computer, with the provided USB lead... I whacked on some tunes and videos and disconnexted so I could have a play...
The sound is very good and really quite loud. I could hear it comfortably at work (in a fairly noisy pub)... You can use mp3s as ring tones and stuff... Wierdly you can't select it for the message tone through the tones menu... You do that by going straight to the mp3. Strange indeed...
The media player thing on the device is very nice and easy to use. You can leave music playing while you go do other things within the phone. Which is handy.
Screen quality and clarity is great. Couldn't be happier with that.
Only things I can really moan about is it being a bit big. But I don't mind as it fits in my pocket fine and is cool as
. Also the fact that once you open the phone you can't use the camera.
A nice little touch is the buttons inverting once you open the phone. So that up is still up etc... If that makes sense...
Still a bit annoyed by the games. My friend just bought a V3i/x and got the same games bundled in full... Not demos... Unless I get to pick some free ones from the demos??? That would be alright...
Anyway, hope this maybe answered some peoples questions about it and stuff...
