hebben jullie dit ook?
So I bought the F700/Qbowl on Vodafone here in Germany. I'm gonna list pros and cons first then summarize afterwards.
Pros-
-Expandable Memory
-Extra back panel included
-3G Hsdpa and Edge for when you're in the boonies (bavaria)
-Some address book improvements with ability to add more fields
-Qwerty keypad works well
Cons-
-Terrible battery life, tried two of them and got less than 8hours stand by.
-Touchpad is intermittent depending on the area of the screen, the bottom row was poor on both models. Had to hit 3 and 4 times.
-Reception was less than any other phone I have used on vodafone here.
-When transferring a photo from phone to micro sd it changes the file attribute to hidden which was a pain, there is no option to set default save to memory card. Phone memory cannot be browsed through USB connection.
-Camera is very poor for a 3mp auto focus. It's very slow to start up with very noisey results in most indoor situations. Color is very unrealistic. It takes from 3 to 10 seconds to focus and then even in bright natural light the exposure takes a couple seconds. Very prone to blur. Video was choppy with poor audio. (sorry i did not save any photos)
-Email client is poorly designed, by default shows all email details instead of just the normal to and from info. Also, attachment size is restricted to 300kb which is just ridiculous since I pay a lot for unlimited data, let me use it like other manufacturers. They should implement an auto resize option like Nokia and SE.
-Media browsing is disorganized and not very user friendly, you cannot browse memory card and phone memory at once like all other manufacturers.
-Answering a call takes two or three key presses depending on your settings.
-Speaker phone is very distorted.
-Browser is poorly set up as well, checking boxes and selecting links even when on full magnification was a pain and not user friendly. Whenever you go to a bookmark you have to refresh it manually, every time!
-No themes at all, you are stuck with the same colors.
-Battery cover has to be removed to access memory card.
-Samsung software is horrible to set up, at least the phone offers USB Mass Storage like Motorola does.
Overall this is the worst phone I've tried this year. Too many touches required for simple tasks like switching to speaker phone, poor audio quality and just an overall non user friendly experience. I now see why they didn't have working models at the latest tech shows. It does not excel in any major area of modern handsets. Vodafone calls this the iphone killer, I call it a polished turd. I don't care for the iphone either if you must know since it has ancient data. So if you want a new phone and Samsung is what you desire I'd look towards the G800 and not this, maybe it'll be better.
