Comments on: Samsung: The 3G phone of champions http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2006/06/samsung_the_3g_.html Daily news and opinion for 250,000 industry executives and mobile fanatics Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:53:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ed http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2006/06/samsung_the_3g_.html/comment-page-1#comment-228 Ed Mon, 03 Jul 2006 10:29:47 +0000 http://www.smstextnews.co.uk/2006/06/samsung_the_3g_phone_of_champions.html#comment-228 Yeah, i've been playing around with a Z500 and looking at the rest of the range. First thing first, they are all small. Which is brilliant if you want that. Secondly, the screens are amazing... actually, thinking about it, their screens used to be amazing as Nokia et al have caught up with their own QVGA screens, so scrap that as a bonus. I could ramble on about how the user interface is not as intuitive as Nokia's or the huge number of clicks you have to go through to complete any function or the difficulty in finding where you've stored stuff because they don't give you much information. But the really big pain in the arse is the rreeeeaaally crap interface to computers. Samsung PC Studio is rubbish, it often falls over/hangs and takes a year to download calendar and contacts. It was terrible. So, if you want a weekend phone for, er, making phone calls and looking relatively smart on the pub table then get one. If you want to use more applications (including texting) get a Sony or Nokia. Yeah, i’ve been playing around with a Z500 and looking at the rest of the range. First thing first, they are all small.
