Display, handling
The display with the QVGA resolution gives a satisfyingly smooth picture. The color theme of the phone matches for the casing with its colors (black, grey and brown); it’s put on a low-key. It’s a pity but it cannot be changed. Maybe the optional installation of some lighter colors would do it good. The so-called Croix system (known from F700) tries to bring the handling of the menu system closer to the user, which means that a cross shows up on the screen with its middle right under our finger.
The phone gives a little vibration when the touch was correct to inform the user about the successful choice. This helps a lot during the navigation but for some reason this has been left out at the point that would be the most important to have vibration - the typing of the messages. This absolutely makes no sense, serious penalty besides the not really smooth and easy editing screen.
We have two options to get into the main menu: pushing the middle of the screen we get a quick menu with four functions and one more with which we can reach the main menu, or if we don’t want to use this then the use of the middle one of the little drawings on the main screen is advised.
The menu itself is the little brother of the F700’s - if we are talking about the measurements. The grayish drawings theoretically symbolize the functions, but either I can’t get used to this minimalist style or the Samsung’s graphic artist suffered from a serious hangover, but signs of the dial-list, the phonebook and the settings seems a bit mystical for me. The first two looks more like a USB modem, and the last one could be practically anything. The settings used to be an icon of a wrench, the dial-list is usually a shell with two arrows pointing towards different directions, and the phonebook is some kind of a… well, book. The Armani walked on a totally different path, but I think this is a perfectly useless customization.
Naturally the biggest challenge was to make usable every function without any buttons or a stylus. The F700 had similar problems and it would have been a masterpiece to solve this on a display half as big as it had, and - needless to say - it wasn’t successful. The main problem is that the buttons are too close to each other, so the touchable places are too small. The other one is the rolling e.g. in the phonebook when looking for a certain name. The Armani can roll with one button (not like the F700 or the Prada), but the solution is pretty awkward and not user-friendly, but I tried many phones, the iPhone is the standard, but the Armani is still far even from the HTC Touch that comparing them to each other would be an insult for the HTC.
