I picked up my Samsung yesterday.
I was lucky to grab the last one. I really mean the last one, as it was the "demo" item - it was used in the shop as a sample phone.
And therefore I got some discount.
The phone is a nice piece of technology.
And for the moment I am rather pleased with it.
The reviews had promised a brick, but in fact it is approximatively of the size of the iPhone, but twice as thick.
But this Samsung is almost half the size of my previous phone.
This is my main complaint - the phone is too small.
I had wished the display to be bigger, as well as the keyboard.
I'm glad I didn't take a phone with a smaller keyboard, I can barely use the key on that one, which got rather bigger keys on 4 rows.
But it is still a big change from my HTC9000 which boasts 6 rows of very large keys.
And the slider isn't really an improvement over my previous tilt & pivot screen on the HTC9000 (alternative names = HTC universal, JarJar, Qtek 9000).
I wish they would make a smartphone of the size of the HTC9000 again.
Then I am trying to find a way to make the font smaller. Everything is written in font sizes adequate for almost blind users.
I got big fingers, but I ain't blind.
Then the phone isn't loud enough.
And the message center interface takes time to get accustomed to.
Here too, I'd like smaller fonts.
Sync with Outlook runs smooth with he software I downloaded from Samsung support.
One thing I'd like to have is a way to sync SMS with the PC, like for storage.
Good things are that the phone has only standard connectors (mini usd and classical 3.5 jack), the 400x800 display is brilliant.
The camera does rather nice 5 MP pictures and has a light as well as a real shutter button. It shoots also rather nice vids.
Note to phone makers:
Business phones can be made a bit bigger!
Put all that tech into the HTC9000, give it a 11cm x 6cm 1024x768 screen and add a small external display and an external keypad! use the extra space under the hood to fit a 2500 mAh battery in there!
= killer phone for business!!
