Why the bad review?
I have the phone now for 6 months. The battery lasts just 32 hours a day - in flight mode. 5 months ago after a few weeks geziehltem battery workout just 48 hours. Now only 32 hours. Up to 480 hours standby time no talk can be. That's just proces *** ung of customers. Even the HTC Customer Service admits that this information is WRONG !!! Therefore, the poor rating. So if without power for 18 hours needs a mobile phone is switched on or in standby the phone even want to take a whole day should by all means leave your fingers !!!
Here, the other for me important points at a glance:
For Windows Phone 7.5
Plus points:
- I think it's cool - Clear functions - even my kids (6 and 8 years old) had the functions after 20 minutes playing around fully under control
- Video and sound playback just perfect
- Not too many apps it
- AND - Unlike Windows Mobile 6 and predecessors can be reached by phone calls really good !!!
Negative points:
- No direct synchronization with Outlook - only through Windows Live and thus no longer the default Outlook calendar !!! (You have to embed a Hotmail calendar, and it sucks but then a little when each event reminder gets 3 times. As mail and as a reminder on the phone and on the PC. You have every appointment reminder so click away 3 times ... Possibly can be Simply switching off the mails because I had not have a muse to put myself in the depths of Windows Live ...)
- Access from PC only through Zune - This works quite well when mans has well furnished, which is not very intuitive, if you want to back up the data sometimes later (and I'm a programmer and thus PC Professional) is however rather cumbersome if It`s only a matter of time short to transfer an image to the PC.
- And for developers: It is no MarketPlace not install your own applications more! And if you want to adjust what the marketplace is necessary to conform to the US laws, which is especially concerning. Security of data and encryption is quite costly. (The US government wants to nor may listen ...) Microsoft is here followed the bad example of Apple - a pity!
For phone itself:
Plus points
- Robust, attractively located, comfortable to hold, super fast reactions, cool graphics, even during movements, holds sometimes a few hours in your pocket from the same without going broke! Total blast
Negatives
- Except for the battery, there's nothing to expose. With a better battery, it would be a real cool and useful mobile phone genuine. And even this short battery life would be OK if the product description would indicate realistic values here. In other words not to to 480 hours but up to 24 hours of standby time. So I feel just completely verar *** t.
(Sorry for the two expletives, but my stomach feels as if it is simply cheated ...)
