Customer Review

In brief:

1. very good quality, a quality image device
2. relatively flat but difficult (but promotes positive impression of quality)
3. excellent, bright and brilliant display, even in direct sunlight, as well as polar. Sunglass lenses easy to read
4. Quality of excellent photos in good lighting, in low light the photos are relatively blurred, even if the colors are right.
Camera focuses very fast and dissolves quickly, very pleasant.
5. Quality of video (Best quality setting) surprisingly well even in low light or with moving objects (moving cars, children playing, etc.)
6. reception quality incl. UMTS / HSDPA well, much better than the iPhone 3G but a bit worse than, say, the Nokia E90
7. Ringtones could be louder, can become slightly "subdued", when the device is in a pocket
8. Battery life is relatively poor with constant use, with a little luck does the battery last one working through (if you use the device only to make phone calls, the battery will last much longer)
9. Widgets nerves enormously, but can not be completely switched off
10. OS too playful and colorful, here seems Samsung is still not to have learned from our mistakes and customer criticism
11. Font clearly too large, unfortunately, can not be adjusted in size, a real shortcoming
12th Kapaz. Display similar to the iPhone, unfortunately without its ingenious multi-touch capability and comfort, shame
13. Business functions inadequately, eMail client relatively uncomfortable, limited storage capacity for appointments, etc.

Personal conclusion: for nearly 400 EUR a good device with a very good (good lighting) camera for photos and videos, a great functionality and a relatively good reception. Samsung could have made the device much more attractive if you could turn off the widgets if the font could be made smaller and if everything were a little thoughtful. Few handsets in the market offer similar functionality in such a small space and the display is just fantastic. However, I would only buy this unit if I need it for recreational use. For business users, it is not even halfway decent, the smartphone functionality is very limited and uncomfortable, and the battery life is a joke.
