Here’s what everyone knows: The new Samsung slim phone is only 13mm thick looks really groovy.
As an owner of this product I think I can tell you some things you might not know:
This is quite a basic product so do not expect great features along with this. The LG phone for 500 extra packs in a lot more features.
User Friendliness: The phone is quite user friendly and scores over the LG RD 2130 on this count - the buttons are easier to press and the set-up is more intuitive. The display is adequate though is not in sync with the stylishness of the phone overall.
Usage: Slightly problematic here. Is not for heavy users(>2hrs on a charge). It’s not a Nokia and might give you a couple of hours of talk time at a stretch. Is fine for a medium user such as me though.
Ther have been some noises about the signal receiving but it’s fine for a Reliance. I dont think any cell phone works properly in a lift/basement.
Features: Memory is quite adequate. Can have memos and notes apart from 2000 address book entries. No probs on this count. The settings for rings and displays are adequate.
Problems: There are some serious problems though. The black colour seems to be one of the reasons for the instrument to overheat. The phone has hung a couple of times when I roamed about Mumbai on a hot day. Definitely not what you want to happen. samsung will have to do something about this soon.
No R WOrld - which means if you want more games, ring tones, cricket updates and easier means of payment(through the phone itself) then you’ve got probs.
All in all the product performance don’t match the cool looks but if you want a phone that looks good and fits even better in your pocket AND do not depend on your phone for your life, then you could go for it.
