Appearance
Trendy. This is the word that really fits the exterior of the phone after all it has everything that is needed nowadays: slide, white, mirror, touch-buttons, this will surely make the granny smile too. To tell the truth, I like it. The used materials are well, but not outstanding in its category, the engineers were operating with smooth, glossy plastic. The mechanics that helps sliding is not bad, but not perfect, because the phone has a little backlash in open and closed case too. Size is average: 48 x 103 x 13,5 mms, weight is 98 grams.
On the top of the front, there is the gaudy speaker, on the right side of this, the secondary camera can be notice - this is for video calls - ,under it, a logo is placed, on the TIM version, it’s appropriately a "TIM" sign, on the SIM-independent one, it’s a note in a circle. These are on the reflecting surface, which has two extensions below, both hide two function buttons – what a game with the number! The display is hidden from the inquisitive eyes, only wakes up at turning on, but really does then. 2,1 inches, QVGA resolution, it has nice and bright color, works fine.
The main control panel is under the Samsung logo, it has five buttons. Four of these are touch-buttons as the function buttons on the side, only the one in the middle is a normal buttons. Watching these kinds of solutions, so many ask how useful is it, I’m asking why the hell it needs to be forced. Certainly, this touch-thing is fun, it excites people because it’s trendy, but few notice that the usage of these buttons are much more uncomfortable than using ."normal." ones. It’s not so annoying in this case because of the large size of the buttons, but we can order the F330 to do as we tell with less accuracy, than its mates with real buttons. There is fortunately a normal button under these, the sign on it can be noticed somewhere else (note in a circle), it’s function is evident - starting the music player.
After the sliding – accompanied by a click – the numeric buttons become visible, these are fortunately normal buttons. Basically they can be used well, but the fact that the buttons in raw are on the same panel, no separately is not so innovative. The middle column has strange surface and grey color, the ones on the sides are black sleek, a bit slick.
There is nothing on the top, on the left side, the connector of the headset is placed under a covering cap, under it, and there are the volume control buttons and a hotkey.
At the bottom, the "tine me in the neck" holes, on the right, the expose button of the camera, the sunk power button and the microSD slot.
The back is snow-white, so it’s the dream of women, Apple-fans and the enthusiasts of the mentioned Disney hero. The well known note is placed above, the Italian version had an unassuming Rock&Call caption – it’s missing from the Hungarian one (sigh of relief here) - whereas the Samsung and samsungmobile.com captions, the latter one is on the removable part of the back which begins at about the middle of the back.
