Samsung F480i Player Style Cell Phone Bluetooth GSM GPRS EDGE Grey (Unlocked Phone)

Customer Review

This device offers a lot of features in a compact size and at a price, any reasonable amount. A priori, Samsung is the demanding user.

However, I draw your attention to a major weakness of this device: the synchronization with a workstation (contacts, calendar). Samsung delivers a new version of its Sync tool called New PC Studio. Let's be clear, Samsung clearly goofed with this tool, and that's saying something ...

- Tool rarely achieved heaviness in the category (I have yet a powerful pc)
- No automatic sync, not dreaming, you have to start the tool, wait, wait again, click on the calendar sync and sync contacts, and close the tool
- No way to suppress warning messages on potential conflicts (he is all the time the way)
- More serious problems of duplication, not replicated calendar items
- Even worse, the phone must be on the basic menu and not elsewhere.
- Knows not manage calendar items over 15 characters (it's like back to the MS-DOS era there 15 years)
- Linux, Mac? You forget.
- Choice of the direction of sync, not possible
- Alternative? No, sorry

It should be noted nonetheless that access to the memory card can be done in live usb storage mode and so there are no worries to retrieve photos, videos or otherwise.

Voila, to consider if you plan to use this device in conjunction with your PC. The discontent begins to rise in the forums and on specialized sites.

Mr. Samsung, thank you to provide a solution quickly (the old PC Studio version 3.0 was not bad - is incompatible with this phone) because there, this software does not do justice to the phone which it is associated. I will not fail to re-evaluate my review based on the evolving situation.
