Customer Review

In general you have to on the current mobile phone market Ask the first question to the OS. For me, it was clear Google's Android. Thanks also to Amazon for the counselor, is has well helped.

At the very beginning, this is in the past few weeks already my third phone with Android OS and the best yet. Want a parr experience signs here.
I had the Samsung Galaxy I5800 and Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro. Previously I had 1.5 years a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic so even a smartphone to Symbian, it is very stable but is also clumsy and not so good expandable.
Here briefly to the two above-mentioned mobile phones, as they would probably interesting to others because similar performance and price.

Samsung Galaxy I5800:
Negative points:
- If I understood the middle of the battery usage although still indicating 3/4
- I could not cope with pure touch screen keyboard, found this very inaccurate (subjective impression)

Otherwise secure a good phone, although I prefer the Samsung Galaxy was 551, mainly due to the OS 2.2 instead of 2.1.

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro:
Negative points:
- General very weak battery
- Very, very small
- Cheap processing, squeaking the battery cover after only two weeks.

Chic cell phone which only after update also OS 2.1. going well. The best part was the super horny keyboard !!!

*** So now, but the Galaxy 551 ***:

Appearance:

I think the unit looks great. Fits comfortably in your hand and is neither too big nor too small. For him (schwre version) and women (White / Pink) chic.

Display:

It is an Ultra Clear LCD display with 8.1 cm and does a great job, have it set to only 50% brightness is enough, good resolution. For me perfectly adequate, I do not need Amoled display. Display is large enough for good operation and responds accurately.

Battery life:

Now that is all smartphones not outstanding, days without charge under normal use about 2 when sometimes it pays not to let the display running at 100%, sometimes ended Apps via the task manager and not the GPS running dauerend leaves , as well as 3G and Wi-Fi simultaneously.

Service:

I find the solution super phones with extendable QWERTY keyboard. Entries, SMS and e-mail, not a problem more. The keys are good, not as good as the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro, but good. Problem is the cumbersome dialing of ä, ü, ö and the number could be even better solution. Otherwise, you can unfortunately if you do not want to use the keyboard, choose any normal T9 keypad is max. about NEN App.
Overall, I find super and this keyboard is good.

Hardware:

Aussehen-> so

The processor is certainly not the most nourishing, but enough for me completely, even if it comes to nem Sekündchen delay times. It has 173 MB of internal memory for apps, which is average. From the installed version Android 2.2 Apps can also be operated from the SD card - habs not yet tried, but should go.

It comes with an SD card (1GB) here, hello Samsung either correct or not, so that is too small in the long run.
Otherwise simple headphones will be right and a power supply unit (very simple thing), we loaded via MicroUSB port on the top side of the device (protect switch available) - super solution with only one connection.
It else is the jack for headphones on the top available (without protection - a shame)

Fi and mobile Internet as well as GPS and navigation from Google Maps funzt well (the female voice is a bit rude, but in vain). GPS needs strong rechargeable battery, so operate in the car with power supply.

Software and Apps:

A highlight is the this phone has Android 2.2 which is great. Even the I9000 until recently had only 2.1.
The included Samsung Apps are a total of ok, without wanting to elaborate on. Only the app news and weather, I must emphasize - which is awesome (especially as a widget), the browser I find too slow and impractical.

But for all that you do not like it are in the market determines ne alternative. The Market is a clear purchasing criteria for mobile phones and Android.

Camera:

Has no flash and only 3.2 megapixels, I was not important as a snapshot sicherliche Knipse Ok, nothing more. There is no camera button on the phone, photo only display.

Conclusion:

Those who want a current mobile phone with almost fully equipped and possibly even keyboard, can not go wrong here !!! And certainly not at the price of a comparable mobile phone HTC costs about 450 EUR. Had too much to me.

The star deduction there for good, but not optimal keyboard, the battery and the camera.
