After Palm Treo 650

Posted: Oct 19, 2018, 4:03 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

I bought this after my Palm Tro 650 in 2011. Used it almost 2 years. Functional phone like Palm. Robust metal body. Good battery. OS was also good. Keyboard was ok but not good as Blackberry. Call reception was not very good. Overall good business phone

This was my first proper smart phone. I liked the full keyboard on it a lot as I use my phones for email a lot. I was disappointed though when I started to notice some shortcomings. Firstly I felt that as Nokia progressed the more they cluttered the UI and it became less user friendly. Also disappointed by the capabilities of Symbian and the lack of both manufacturer and 3rd party apps essential in a smartphone. All in all the phone does work, but just has some irritating quirks and is lacking something to make it special.

Totally dissapointed after E71

Posted: Feb 09, 2012, 8:24 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

After moving from E71 this feels like step backward. The build quality is worst than the E71. The back panel feels like it is made out tin foil. It has only 40MB of free memory after boot. Totally not suitable for serious multitasking.

The only advantage over E71 is the faster processor which you can feel in the application start up time. The other good thing is the ability to organize WiFi and 3g connections in one logical connection.
