Well, this article is in continuation of my previous one Zestless Zen 77. As promised I am pinning down my experience about Micromax Q5Fb mobile phone in this article.
Key Features -
Dual GSM SIM
Display 2.4 inch QVGA display
320 x 240 pixels screen resolution
QWERTY Keypad
Internal Memory 15 MB
8 GB expandable micro SD card slot
Dedicated keys for Facebook and IM Chat
Bluetooth/EDGE/GPRS/WAP connectivity
Battery Li-on 1000mAh
Advantages –
Good Clarity of FM Radio- Never was able to listen to such clarity while traveling in cabs(Comparing with Nokia). Its able to catch signals in areas where I never was able to hear FM(you can say. 2-3 floor inside a building) - My Score - 10 / 10
Amazing sound - courtesy YAMAHA Powered Speakers . I tried to listen to the same song in IPOD Shuffle and Q5 with same cords and vice versa. was not able to find any minute difference. sound clarity and
YAMAHA Speakers - My Score -10 / 10
One important thing, I heard that Dual Sim phones would have problem of phone getting hung and Non responsive and restarting automatically - But should say in the last 2 months of usage - never had this problem, I am using Vodafone and Tata Dokomo and never had any issues - my Score - 10 / 10
The Phone operating system(User Interface) is smooth and never buckles and no lagging even if my memory card was full.(4 GB) - my score
10 / 10
Easy connect to people in fast moving lifestyle - one touch button for FB and IM Chat Plus it has pre installed Opera Browser and
Nimbuz chat. my score 10 / 10
Keypad layout design is amazing with huge space between
each row, making it easy to use. My score 10 / 10
TrackBall - this is one good feature in this mobile.
my score 8 / 10(reason not sure how long this trackball would last)
Connectivity to PC -USB Connectivity - really super fast you can copy 100 MB Data in less than few minutes. Also the moment you connect the
Mobile to PC you get three options
1) Mass Storage
2) Web Cam
3) Comfort:
Well haven’t tried the last one. but the best part is Mass Storage - You don’t require any mobile anti-virus, becoz if you connect the mobile using the first option, the Anti-Virus in the computer would start detecting this as additional storage and would do AUTO SCAN also the second option is a wonder. This acts like a webcam and good for those who would use web chatting
Good speed while surfing on the net, phone doesn’t hang
Drawbacks –
Camera - no so good clarity seems like a VGA one even though its written as 2.0 Mega pixel
No Themes for Q5 fb in the net, found that this phone doesn’t support themes, well the Indian mind overcame this issue.
