Basic functions
The phonebook is quite lame in this landscape format, if we want to see a satisfying amount of names we should turn thumbnails off. A contact can have lots of extra details assigned to it, these are displayed on tabs, we can browse these by moving horizontally. The handset can theoretically display SIM and phone contacts at the same time, but in practice no matter we turn this on, we still see only phone contacts. The contact list is stored in the phone's internal memory, but we have lots of that: 29 MB free if it's completely empty.
I had a couple of problems with messaging. Text entry is difficult due to reasons I have mentioned above, it takes a lot of time to get used to it, the 8 and 0 keys get mixed up most of the times, so after a while I didn't care about it and have written the messages with changing lowercase and capitals, as 0 changes between these. Furthermore we can't cancel a messages, as we can't exit the editor without saving the message. Our message is always saved to the drafts if we cancel it. I have been annoyed by the email client as well: it can be set up by enabling internet access, as he thinks he will POP3 and SMTP servers from our email address. If we try it manually (as there is such an option) it won't ask for any information for SMTP authentication, it wants to force POP3 data.
The calendar is nice and wide, it has month and week views, but this can be scrolled a long way down. There are tons of entry types, there is lunch, breakfast and dinner, we have party and conference... so there are a few options. We can enter lots of details for the events: who are invited, does it repeat and we can comment it too. The alarm clock can store three time points, we can set the days of alarm for all three of them. There is a basic calculator, a world clock with list view, but it's still hard for Motorola programmers to develop a stopwatch and a countdown timer.
I have taken a look at the games as well, but this has been a mistake. This is where is turned out that the tested EM30 is from Asia, there have been lots of characters over there that I didn't understand, but I have still tried all sic applications, the single normal of them being the last one, as this is a Gameloft game – a demo. The other five includes an English-Chinese dictionary, a mobile fortune teller (haha), which means that we think of a question and we see an answer. Answers like “Yes, definitely”, or “At this moment”. Awesome. We have a menstruation-biorhythm-BMI calculator, some manga game with dancing where pressing the buttons is the source of pleasures, and there is a ringtone editor too. I think that when EM30 gets officially launched in Europe, we will have different applications.
