Introduction, package
What makes a phone successful? Interesting question. I’ve noticed one thing on my journalist carrier: it does not depend on what press writes from the phone. Of course, a review has strength, but really not as much as the other areas of the media, exactly at the advertisement. Because of my position, I’m aware to the selling statistics of the phones how little my review effect of the success of a phone. I can write what a best buy the phone is if the product of the competiting manufacturer can be seen of the placards of the subway, people will buy that. It was the situation in the battle of the humiliated Nokia 3110 Classic and the e200 Samsung E200 that I extolled – the Finnish product became absolutely successful, and the Korean one that is - I think much better - didn’t. Why I’m writing this? Because I can foretell the future although I’m not a prophet. There is the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic with no advertisement and an extolling review on the other side, here is the Samsung F330 which was watching me for the giant placards before I had the test-phone. I know that it doesn’t matter what I write, Snow White will make high sales enough and I know that the 5610 is not popular.
All these prevent me writing an objective review about it, which is also a good stuff – but not as good as successful it will be, at least I think. Practically it has no radical innovations, quality is not perfect, just nice, white, and has touch buttons, not at last, advertised to death. Advertisement… in the XXI. century, it has more weight than anything else. That’s the way it works…
I had two sample of the F330, one was offered by the XXL GSM, the other by the Samsung’s Hungarian agency. The first reached me weeks ago, not from anywhere, but exactly from Italy, it was a sample of TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile). This can be seen in the pictures. There is not much difference between the two versions in appearance (these will be mentioned on the next page), but the menu system was dulled in the Italian one, this made the review be late, we had to wait the network-independent one. After a turn, let’s take a look on the package: middle-sized, nice box, data cable, stereo earphones, 3,5 mm jack converter, CD, manual, so, the usual pack.
