"A big collection of bugs inside the software!"

by Nacion on August 13, 2008

Pros: a lot of memory, good signal, pretty look, as external media with USB, good bluetooth acces, good video recording

Cons: zoom have incredible bugs, camera shots fast but store very slow, the radio is not the best, the worst graphic user interface, keypads made for kids
Summary: I had explained before a lot of bugs, but the comments were erased so all be quickly this time.

You may have a great picture resolution, 2048x1536px@300dpi. But when you take a picture using full zoom, you will get a cropped area of what could be the entire panorama, wich is aprox 180x150px@72 dpi. Yes, you dont get a zoomed image, you get a cropped area!.

The video looks so fine:
Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 x 480, Millions
AMR Narrowband, Mono, 8.000 kHz
14,64fps
640 x 480 pixels

The radio works better being around the radio station, because it have a bad reception. And the radio memory is only 20 stations lenght, so imagine the bug that comes when it scans the FM to auto save the frequencies.

The mp3 player have a dificult user interface and it does not provide a good experience at all.

Cellphone signal is very ok, I was near asignal jammer or something like that and the telephone worked decently.

You can connect the phone using the USB cable and choose from connect to PCSuite or as removable media (wich is ok for OSX). Its a shame its only USB1.0 in the middle of the USB2.0 era.

If you are java or flashlite developer, maybe this cellphone is an option to you. Look at the Nokia´s site to check the java APIs and flashlite compatibility.

The camera is the worst, the interface is the worst and now its stuck on the start screen where is supposed i have to give mi PIN or if I take off the SIM card, to start without a SIM but it does not response at all!

DONT BUY THIS TELEPHONE BY ANY REASON. BE ADVISED!
