Looked at soberly the phone apart from the larger and therefore clear, brilliant display has no features that can not even have a "normal" mobile phone, apart from the transverse QWERTY keyboard times (Tip: If you look for the umlauts: AUO press 2x). Can you do more with this phone than with others, it is worthwhile for this little more on function and style to spend more than a functionally similar phone?
I normally do not tend to such actions, consider a cell phone as an everyday object, in which I assess the cost-benefit effect rational. But precisely because the S5230 scores surprisingly, by opening up an additional benefit: it's fun, it looks great, this many colorful icons that are otherwise only known from the PC, in your pocket, in which the cell phone fits well with carrying around. The experience, to use a touchscreen phone to have for the display more fonts available to have his favorite holiday photos finally visible on the display, the gaze of the other, if you show up with the new mobile phone .... Maybe that's all "typical man"? Anyway, the thing makes huge temper.
Although it took some me money that is unnecessary basically because my old phone well funktionoiert - the marketing people who invented this type of device have managed to give the play instinct in me again, compliment it.
In addition, there are no unnecessary edges and surfaces. Man holding a until the last corner with technology cluttered, small, not even 100g heavy high-tech device in his hand. So what inspires me just, I can not help it!
Since I already own a mobile Navi falls for me following consideration away: For something more Euros you can also specify devices with GPS receiver that you can use with geeigenter software just as Navi. Those who like to want to experience wireless Internet telephony, the 5230 is not the right place.
Then a few more keywords to the functions, thereby showing in detail some quirks:
+ The voice and reception quality - at my e-network - is good. Even with only 2 bars of signal strength.
+ Instead of leaves on the charger to the battery via the data cable via USB upload.
- Unfortunately, the font size is not adjustable. So you have to scroll to an appointment already, despite the large display when entering Title, time and alarm on / off. Too Bad.
- For phone off the alarm for appointments is not active. I'm used different from my previous phones. The alarm, however, can do that.
+ The sound of the MP3 player is quite good and balanced via headset, the speaker sounds a bit tinny.
- As usual, the player does not support folder structure, ie, all songs in all folders are listed in one long list, after all, sorted by folder. So playlists must be created.
- Headset does not have jack connector, ie solder or buy Headset Adapter
+ The reception of the FM radio - only possible with infected headset - is good,
- However, the volume is even at level 1 already quite loud. A finer adjustment would be desirable to protect the ears.
- The radio does not work in airplane mode, whereby there actually received only via headset
+ The photos of the 3 MP camera are handy typical underwhelming, for occasional recordings and with very good lighting conditions are ok.
- Unfortunately, the time until the automatic keylock is activated, can only be set together with the backlight time. Those who appreciate this feature, but it does not like that she starts every few seconds when you operate your phone, it will switch off completely unnerved.
+ Mass storage mode the memory of the phone is detected on the PC without software.
+ The display switches to the dimming off completely. This saves electricity.
- Unfortunately, there is no LED, the new calls or SMS signaling, so you need to look from time to time.
- When my unit no stylus is
+ PDF viewer. Along with the large display and a micro SD card can thereby have many documents
- Browser does not support offline html files
- Switch off an active application (ie, from the desktop to the widget bar slide) is very fiddly. Tip to: tap and hold the widget on the desktop and then not move, but tap with another finger to the desired position, then release the first finger ... and it jumps to the new location. Also works with the network provider ad that otherwise covers the background image)
At these points is to hope for the first software updates.
How many stars I forgive now? Spontaneous and fun factor ago I tend to 5, because of the software quirks I prefer a from. Total: class, very chic device at a reasonable price, it really is fun, works well and rewards the experimental users.
