This is my first review so it may not be as useful as one would like to read, I am trying to be as informative as possible though.
I was looking for this phone for 3-4 months before it was launched. I got it in my hands yesterday and I must say that I liked it at first glance.
Pluses:
1) The best screen I have ever seen. The display is 320X240 mega pixels which is really great. Screen size is also big.
2) The look and sleekness of the device is wonderful. You just love it.
3) The slider is very smooth, One can use it by one hand. Phone fits well in the palm
4) Very good 1.3 MP rotating camera with TV output function. Its very easy to operate. Multishot function works really well.
5) Media player is handy though not as good as Sony Ericsson walkman series phone.
6) Dynamic 73 MB phone memory and Memory cards slot with 128 MB micro SD card provided with the pack.
7) The price is very reasonable too. To get a phone of this class for Rs 15000 is remarkable.
8) Speaker volume is enough to listen to songs in noisy surroundings. Good equalizer in mp3 player.
9) Very nice security function where you can lock the different applications so that others can’t see them, i.e. mediaplayer, message, memory card, audio, video etc.
Minuses:
1) No flash light with the such a quality camera.
2) Inability to listen to mp3s when you are using other functions.
3) No themes. Very few wallpapers are given in the phone, I had to download news ones.
4) Ordinary head phone.
5) No FM radio
6) A new type of battery charger slot so you can not charge the phone with any Samsung charger.
No comments about battery life I have to use it for sometime to be able to comment on it.
