"Riddled with bugs"

by Shig2k1 on October 16, 2006

Pros: Really nice styling

Cons: Crap talk/standby time
Summary: Aside from the repeated crashing, here's some bugs I've noticed which are completely driving me spare:

My phone was purchased in Hong Kong due to a shortage in the UK

1. GPRS doesn't work (O2 UK)
2. Even though I've selected English as the language, cantonese and mandarine text input options remain. If I try to use the AWFUL handwriting recognition and accidentally switch to cantonese, it overrides the UK keyboard input and UK characters won't work.
3. My time zones keep switching, as a result the alarm that's supposed to wake me up gets reset and doesn't go back to it's original time: thanks UIQ3, for making me up a 1:45pm not 6:45am.
4. 3g and MP4 video playback is rubbish; takes about 3 minutes to start playing and stutters all the time.
5. MP3 ordering by NAME not track number; no album art; seems to mess up on VBR encoded mp3.
6. Java apps have uninstalled themselves after removing M2 card and putting in again.
7. SMS often thinks that a 60 char text will take 3 messages to send; and then sends even though I say NO do not send.
8. Changing the theme doesn't always result in all elements of the theme being changed.
9. Phone stops playing music if I leave the music player without going through task manager.

None of these render the phone unusable, just make it unreliable and not worth the money I paid for it.
