Data communication, battery
GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA. There’s everything like at a market. The HSDPA is capable of a maximum speed of 3.6 Mbps; we can’t have a word against that. It’s a pity that there is no WLAN support in the list of features, but that is still a rarity in the case of phone with no operating system. Fortunately the screen can be easily rotated, thus the device is quite suitable for web browsing, which is powered by a browser also developed by Access.
Local data communication is helped by Bluetooth version 2.0 or USB connection of the same version number. In the case of the latter one we can choose to make the phone appear as a media storage, USB drive (regarding only the memory card) or as F490, this is when the supplied sync software can be used.
The battery under the back of the phone is quite a weak little guy, it held the handset online for barely two days, after that it asked for food quite vehemently, practically it bleeped every two minutes that it should be really charged now. It is so frustrating that I really put all my other troubles behind and ran to a plug.
In a conclusion I have to say, that if the F700 deserved a cool product award at its time, than this one has reached the same appreciation. Since than the same amount of time passed as much as the little phone developed: scrolling is better, the camera too (in theory), the Croix system was refined a bit, so it is enough for now. Next time it won’t be, but until then the TouchWiz interface might arrive, which could be a great step on the bumpy road of the success of thouchscreen phones.
