Good phone | Lack luster camera

Edited: Jul 20, 2012, 10:26 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

I really enjoy this phone. It's still my current phone and it does everything I need. I upgraded form a Sony Ericsson K790a and was expecting the camera to be as good or better, but it's not. The camera in the 'a' version is lower quality than the 'i' version, but no 3g support in the US for the 'i' version.

Thing to remember with this phone is that it is basically an HTC phone.

Good but not the best

Phone owned for less than a year

This phone is very good I love the windows options, that's over the common mobile operative systems allowing the complette control of the phone options and programing.
But I dislike the speed of the OS, the battery life, the text input that mark 2 or more times the keys, and the worst is the camera, SE was famous by the perfect cameras but in new phones that feature is not the best.

What I like

Allows multiple OS as windows, linux, android..
Allows fully syncronization with windows and office
Work in any host without drivers instalation
The google maps option is just perfect
The office editor is a very valuable option
Allows messenger, skype, google talk and more...
Allows manage the windows options like a computer

What I don't like

The bad camera
Don't have an equalizer
Don't have the minimize window option and a taskbar
Just by USB when is off
The battery is heavy but not allow more than 1,5 days of use
Multimedia consumes battery in less than a day
Don't turn the display automatically and don't have an acelerator

Good business phone

Phone owned for more than a year

Overall it's a great business phone. It's easy customisable to fit your personality. Built in GPS is amazing if you have the right software installed - like iGo 8 or Google Maps. The screen is great for watchin videos and even movies.The camera is great for it's 3.2 megapixels especially for outdoor photos. If only it wasn't running windows mobile ....
