DETAILED REVIEW

For Full Specs, please see the gsmarena sitenI am going to write some other aspects of the phone which I could not find there.nnMore than great battery backup. Will last more than 4-5 days on decent use.nAmazing ear-phones. Loved them. 3.5 mm jack port. So they do not disconnect on slightly moving the cell, as in many SOny ericsson phones. Come in small, medium and large sizes. They are insertable into ear, so no outside noise. Also did morning jogging with them, they do not fall off even while sprinting. Cool white color. ear-phone cord, great elasticity. Doestn jumble up much on putting in your pocket.nnGood Camera. Delivers nice pics as a 5 MP camera. Do not expect digi-cam level clarity but its pretty good.nBad speakers. Not so good volume output by the speakers, when you put a call on LoudSpeaker mode. Although music's volume is decent.nnnCAN'T DosnnChange to many themes. As with most Samsung phones, only 3 themes available. Tried searching on net, but could not find many. Someone who has found any, please tell me also.n· In built music player is not very good. Not in terms of sound n all. Sound n all is perfect with many options like 5.1 speaker effect, auditorium effect etc etc but I have complains about the way songs are organized. They are not organized based on the folders in which they are. Let s say I have organized all tracks on the memory card by my choice, say fast, jazz, really slow, senti, romatic etc , the tracks in the music player wont be in the same order. They will be mixed up. So it makes it tough for me to organize them into a playlist. In my previous cell(Sony ericsson w700i), I was able to get the songs folder wise from the memory stick, so it was pretty easy to make playlists based on how I had stored the songs. This is a big drawback as per me.n· In case the phone is locked, a call comes, you pick it up, end the call after talking, the phone doesn’t goes to lock state as it was when the call came. It becomes unlocked. This is a unwanted thing as per me. It should stay locked.n· So far hav’nt found a way to put a numbered lock on cell keypad. Please let me know if there s a way.n· When in incoming call is coming and its on vibration or melody either, there is no way to stop the vibration or melody without picking up the call. You have to either pick up the call or reject it to stop the vibration or melody. BIG DEAL-BREAKER for me.n· Even if you have saved some contact’s birthday, it doesn’t automatically buzz an alert on his birthday. It should. You have to explicitly put an alarm or task for that day.n· Can’t turn on T9 predictive output permanently. Every time you write in some writing interface, like sms or task or memo, you need to explicitly turn on the T9 by pressing hash key. A big botheration as per me.n· While writing an sms or anywhere else as well, the speed of deleting the words does not increase if you keep pressing the clear or erase button. I mean it clears the written text at the same pace, even if you keep pressing the clear button. As per me the speed should increase and it should clear faster. This is a big headache when you want to clear a large text.n· No uniformity in the numbering of menu options. For instance in some menu, the shortcut number to delete something say an sms or some file is 4. DELETE, but in some its number 2. DELETE. This is a bug, since majority of people try to and tend to remember the shortcuts rather than navigating withnnDo let me know in case you find a way to do the things mentioned in Can't do section.

GREAT PHONE !!! 100 VALUE FOR MONEY

This is the best phone in the price range.nnGreat features, nice big display with adjustable font size, great camera that too with flash light, good battery life(battery lasts longer than other phones which i have seen), fantastic metallic finish.n n All that what is expected of a good mobile phone. nnWe just can not have a phone as good as this in this price range.nnWhat i did not like is...nn1) Zoom is not available while taking a snap(however the auto focus feature is good). An image can be zoomed after taking the snapnn2) No free memory card(thanks to flipkart they gave a free 4gb memory card with this phone)nn3)lack of themes. nnDo consider this phone when u opt to buy a new phone for yourself.nnAs far as flipkart are concerned, they are doing well and delivered the phone in the given time, the COD option is great, also the packing was great.nWhat I expect from flipkart is that, they should give the choice to their customers for selection of delivery timings.

minimalistic rockstar.

absolutely perfect choice for you if:n1)battery life concerns you - full charge gives around 3 days with avg usen2)you dont use your phone for much of emailing - though it has 3g, alphanumeric keypad for emailing is a royal pain; texting on the other hand is fast n breezy - good storage capacity for sms freaksn3)you like an intuitive-no nonsense UI: the user interface is one of the best parts for me about this phone - no lags whatsever, super fast and really suble but smart things like automatically adding your words into predictive input etc...really neat UI - shortcuts configurable - one click application usage - brilliant!n4) u like listening to music: the only phone after sony ericsson where the music quality can actually be compared to mp3 players - lovely.n5) cam - nice but no zoom - so overall just about good.n6)occasional net surfing - google search embedded...even without 3g - the edge gives a liveable response -gets the job done in case u want to do a basic google search or download apps - but on the other hand, compatible apps r only a few due to the small screen size - so net users better stay away.n7)its suc a peace of mind to have this one; if ur past experience with blackerry drained you, or if ure just too done with being always connected, and looking for a phone that is RELIABLE, sturdy and easy to live with, look no further!!

The best phone for professionals

Well I used other branded touch screen phones.. but you know what, because the touch screen phones are too sensitive, it a pain.nnThen I decided to use this (going back to non-touch screen) phone, so light and absolutely no noise. 5 starts to this.nnYou should really feel it to experience its ergo's.nnTake away points.nLight Weight.nElegant / Mild Corporate Color.nLess or No noise.nHigh back up power.nExcellent Speaker.nNo unwanted applications.nEasy to message keys.nClear sound.nnNegative Points:n5MP camera not so promising (But for me it does not matter, nI use phone for calling not for shooting).nnFor sure it is Value for money...
