I am 63 years old and possess an approximately 6-year-old Nokia "cell phone only". Many terms such as "flash", etc. I do not know.
Since I did not want to live forever in the past, I was looking for a smartphone. Install an "all-rounder" at all and I operate freely admit that I already had some anxiety, so to be able to. I searched in internet forums and also here in this forum and found the Samsung Galaxy Ace. If I can neither install nor use - so I thought - the cost bearable or off to ebay. But far from it, it turned out quite differently,
namely:
- Installation just easily
- Operability simple - try everything just has the best learning effect
- App download (barcoo) toll
- Wi-Fi allows fast and fluid surfing
- Touch screen (touch?) Properly
- Slight benefit as a mass data storage
- Camera for so-called snapshots perfectly adequate
- Video perfectly adequate
- Dikiergerät fully meets its purpose
- FM radio fulfills fully its purpose (earphone cord is the antenna)
- Mp3 player good
- Battery life under normal use quite up to 3 days.
- MicroSD card slot on the side (ie not open the Phone's necessary)
- Look simply chic (white and black back cover included)
When I wanted to be connected is connected to the GPRS or UMTS network, did not work the. At first I thought that the location might no network coverage is available. But after even at another location was not possible, of course I was not very happy.
I took the SIM card out, and set up the SIM card of the Nokia - and lo and behold: networks available. Smartphone fine - SIM card defective. So what is there also.
It is clear that in the first days, the battery life by much to try on the first day was empty.
Recommended Accessories:
- Headset for radio listeners
- Instead of the included 2 GB microSD card inserting a 16 or 32 microSDHC Memory Card
Necessarily buy bag to protect your smartphone (eg Suncase Croco Leather Case) -
In summary, I would say that the Samsung Galaxy Ace has surpassed more than my expectations .. I can not understand how some reviewers get the battery in 2 hours empty and when, in my opinion, all applications must be open and therefore just necessarily high power consumption.
Another tip:
The enclosed 130seitige User's just written very small. Therefore, it is recommended to this manual on the Samsung website as a pdf file down load.
Good Evening
Addendum:
Even after 6 months of use, I have nothing - to find fault with one exception. I use for the car navigation device. However, have even the Galaxy Ace with Goggle maps tried. Despite connecting the Phon's a Origninal Samsung charging cable the battery is depleted but rather after approximately 2 hours drive - ie the consumption of electricity is faster than loading. :-(
Good Evening
