The backplane can be removed easily - if you know how (see Quick Start Guide). The Micro-SD should be necessarily inserted simultaneously with the beginning. It is namely under the battery. And removing the battery, the Tipo forgets about half of the settings. After loading the fun begin.
The Tipo is pleasantly small and fits comfortably in your hand. It can be operated with one hand. :-) People with thick fingers could have problems when typing.
The contacts from the SIM card are imported with a push of a button.
During a telephone conversation, the sound is a little muffled. I can understand the interlocutor but good.
In the settings, the maximum amount of data to be entered. Off data connection completely and only calling is also possible.
The photos are as expected only in daylight useful.
GPS is on board, but no internal app or maps. These Google Maps to be used via Internet connection.
Listen to MP3s works well with me. When new tracks are in memory, the start takes a little longer. Otherwise, the app comes straight to the point.
FM radio comes with noise and cracking because the headphone cable is used as an antenna. In addition, the app still in beta. It requires the earphones, even though the are already in it. You can either do not turn off or turn off after about 30 seconds again automatically.
Big plus is the battery. He keeps me already more than a week (time use, all just unnecessary things such as WLAN or GPS turned off).
One point deduction is available for the lousy headphone jack. Together with an older headphones the music comes just quietly with noise. It works perfectly on other devices. The other headset I have to shove the plug, then pull out a piece until I catch the place with proper transition, after which no more wiggle possible.
The second point I draw from because of willful software. There are four screens preinstalled and non-erasable apps like Facebook and Latitude. Facebook may be used only from 13 years. Thus, this really great beginner smartphone is out for the very young user group. Necessary Apps such as File Manager, Antivirus and a rights management system for taming of rollicking apps from the market (spying on contacts, call home) are missing. For the subsequent installation of the Tipo rights management must be rooted. But this case is lost the warranty.
Notes for Linux users:
For the update via computer Windows XP, Vista or 7 is required. The internal memory can be triggered from the Tipo only MTP protocol. From Ubuntu 12:04 he is recognized by GMTP.
