GTran GCP-4020

I am not a professional analyst of handsets but I am writing this review with a selfish desire that some reader will provide or help me to get solution to problems faced by me, while using this handset. Till date I have used GTRAN-GCP4020 for about 2 months. I am using this handset on network of Reliance India Mobile. I will analyze handset on the basis of features enlisted on various websites:

1. Camera External Camera with 100K Pixel Resolution

Camera has very poor resolution a new camera will be very useful.

1. PC sync for Managing e-Book, Phonebook, Schedule, SMS, Melody, Picture, and Photo album from Camera

Phone book Sync is not a real sync. You can save only received SMS on PC. Doesn?t support sending SMS typed on PC.

1. Wireless modem (Data speed up to 153.6kbps on packet data service )

Sometimes fails on Windows XP but works very fine on other operating Systems.

1. 2 way SMS

It has memory of 1.44 MB but can save only 17 messages in inbox. Read and write of SMS doesn?t support word wrap feature. So its very difficult to read SMS. SMS appears as shown:

?Hi reading re

View on Gtra

N?

It?s the only handset I have ever seen without word wrap feature for SMS.

1. Various games

Have only two inbuilt games. More games can be added but how, nobody knows.

1. eZiText solution ( Convenient in inputting text on the phone )

You can not add more words to inbuilt dictionary.

1. Multi-language Support - Simplified Chinese / Spanish / English

Doesn?t support any Indian Language (HINDI)

1. WAP 2.0 supporting in case of customer`s requirement

Wap really excellent

1. Ring sound

In case of sound GTRAN rocks. You can add midi files from PC and use them as ring tones.

1. Accessories:

External Camera, Hands-free Car kit

Not available as accessories in INDIA.

Conclusion

Phone is an excellent built. It has many interesting features. What it requires is a software upgrade. Better to say it very badly requires a software upgrade. It will be the best choice if it has SMS software of Samsung SCH- N191 and Dictionary of LGRD2030.

If someone knows the solution to problems which I have enlisted here please provide me a solution here.
