It's all a question of optimization ...

AMOLED Display: The display of the jet is absolutely unbeatable. Even from impossible angles and in bright sunlight the display is still clearly visible. It has absolutely saturated colors and viewing photos is real joy. Personally, I have to conserve battery power, the brightness runtergeschraubt at level 2 because this is in my opinion more than adequate for everyday use.

Touchscreen: Some people complain that you scroll with actions, eg in contacts- or News menu, sometimes accidentally tapping a contact and thus opens. This is not happening to me personally. The unit scrolls cleanly and smoothly, even in the menus, this is hardly a problem. Just as well the text entry in contacts, messages, calendar entries, browser or full QWERTY keyboard etc. via keypad (1-9, classic) with twisted screen in landscape mode. Each click is (on request can be deactivated) confirmed with vibration feedback. When entering text, also the excellent T9 mode it should be mentioned, because if you touch at the QWERTY keyboard even with a letter next to it, it will recognize the word usually still based on the previous / other input.

Menu: Thanks to the quick launch bar at the bottom of the main screen you do not even go to the main menu for common phone actions (keypad, contact list, messages). Everything else is relatively clear in 3 menu screens (iPhone sends his regards) divided. Starting next Frimware you can even prove the menu pages free and the menu thus individually split (iPhone greets back).

Widgets: Jaja, the widgets. Since the main screen can also be spread over three pages, you can place it on every page widget from the drop sidebar. But you can do, man does not have. The only widget that I use regularly, the phone profiles. This I have stored on the second page, so I can switch to "silent" with a mop and a single click, for example. Most of the remaining widgets are either Quick Start icons for websites (which are then opened in the browser), for example, social networks, or mini-applications such as a small AccuWeather Forecast for 6 days (sometimes not practical), Notizzettelchen or birthdays. Overall, a matter of taste, but they are not mandatory to use.

Organizer: The big weak point of the jet. The house Calendar is a disaster. It holds 300 entries (should be enough), the maximum entry length of 15 characters, however, is disastrous. The Outlook Sync using New PC Studio can also be desired. My tip: The free Java application Snaptu. It includes the Google calendar that is also known of Android smartphones. Google Calendar can by turn Google Calendar Sync for PC (also available free on Google) and Apple's iCal and Outlook sync (directly without additional software). The highlight: In Snaptu you can create new entries on the go and this takes Outlook / iCal automatically during the next start or in freely selectable time stages (from 5 minutes) also on. Thus calendars are printed on PC / Mac and jet always consistent. However, it should be noted that an Internet package the provider is advisable because the data is synchronized with the online Google account.

Navi: I bought the model without Navikit and thus only preinstalled Google Maps. I have my, equipped with Navteq maps, free Naviprogramm skobbler installed. This is a full Naviprogramm with maps, voice guidance, POIs etc. and pedestrian navigation. There is a specially adapted version for Jét on the supply side or via wap.skobbler.de direct to your phone. The integrated GPS is fairly accurate and quick to deploy.

Camera: The camera takes excellent photos and videos, has bells and whistles such as smile detection and flash ensures even at twilight and darkness for good illumination. The best camera that I had been in a mobile phone. Even the scroll through the photo gallery works almost as naturally as on the iPhone, the side turned full screen mode you can even by tilting left and right browse through the photos, The further you tilt in one direction, the faster flips the phone on through the gallery. A thoroughly nice gimmick.

Bluetooth: The Bluetooth menu or rather the "Bluetooth" button is clearly, quickly set afloat in the transmission (5 MB within a few seconds between my MacBook and the Jet) and stable.

Battery: The battery lasts me (tel 15-20 minutes, 5-10 SMS and 5-10 minutes per day online.) About 6-7 days, not least because I only turn on Bluetooth when I need it, to WLAN Thanks to UMTS with HSDPA Flat entirely renounce and the screen brightness was reduced to Level 2. All this does not limit me and gives me a mE quite respectable battery life.

MP3 Player: The player is okay, but I never use it virtually. Thanks 3,5er jack can connect individual headphones. The supplied are rather below average. The player supports cover view and, in landscape mode, and a Cover Flow, as we know it from Apple. This effect, however, rather stiff and half-baked. Updates wait ...

Even a final tip: When delivered, I had firmware F4 (ending the firmware name to retrieve over keypad using * # 1234 #, F stands for the month, so June counted after alphabet) installed. This sometimes led to strange "false errors", for example, that when you start an application would not be standing out of resources available, although no other application was active. It was similar when surfing the Internet, where it was suddenly, that the cache is full and the page could not be loaded. These errors are not occurred, since I have upgraded to firmware G3 (G = July).

As I said, all a matter of optimization. Therefore, for the delivery status I give 4 out of 5 stars, after update and the discovery Snaptu / Google Calendar I would give the unit 5 stars. Overall an absolute buy recommendation!
