I used to find lots of nokia handsets of various features being used by many of my friends and I was in a dilemma as which one to choose. So I decided to look for a samsung or sony ericsson phone which has all the attractive features that are present in many of the nokia phones and I found samsung l700 has many nice features.so I decided to try out this handset.
It is a strong metallic handset with features like 2MP camera with flash, FM with auto tuning, Bluetooth and 3G capability. The compact keypad enables smooth operation of the mobile. There are shortcut keys for camera/video and volume control in addition to other shortcuts which can be set manually. It starts up quickly when compared to other handsets and thus eliminates wastage of time.
It supports .jpg, .jif, and .swf wallpapers. Apart from that it has an option called "Living World" which is really amazing. The speciality of this feature is that when it is selected as a wallpaper it closely resembles the outside world(i.e, during afternoon it appears bright and dark during the night). Another fabulous feature is "My Screen" which empowers the user to have a slide show of wallpapers with variety of transitions at specified time.
Yet another striking feature is a smart dialer in which one can dial first few numbers of a mobile number and access the names and contact numbers of all the possible contacts. The loudspeaker is good enough to listen to the speaker in any adverse situations.
The music player is quite similar to those in other phones. But it is easy to access the controls of the music player once the user plays a song and returns to the idle mode. That is, it allows us to fast forward, to pause, to resume, to change the volume and to navigate to the next song without entering the music player again.
The backlight time can be set according to our requirements and keypad lock can be set to backlight time. It supports memory card upto 8 GB and so lots of stuffs can be stored in it .Internet is quite fast and it has hot menus for google search and gmail. Automatic call rejection facility allows the to reject calls from selected numbers.
The time display can be changed but cannot be disabled. Pop up list menu feature is an interesting and an easy way to access the sub-menus. One can change the font type, font size, font colour and background colour and LCD brightness which is fantastic. The user can set many alarms.
The most fabulous features are camera frames and shooting modes like mosaic shot and multi shot. I just loved these features. It also supports pdf files, word, presentations and html files. But the saddest part is that it does not support themes and games and applications cannot be added from pc( But there is a trick to make this possible which works!). However one can download them successfully from mobile internet.
For all those who find themes really interesting and a prime necessity in the mobile of their choice, this handset is not advisable. But for the ones who are in search of a really nice and durable handset, l700 can be one of the right choices.
