Menu, hardware
Well, we had some problems over here. i200 could haven even an OMAP CPU, as the new generation supports 3G. But a 400 MHz is not very probable as there are delays at some functions. But lots of programs fit in the memory and these can be opened-closed with the help of Task Manager.
So I have started investigating, beginning with the phone’s About menu, which told me that there is an STn8810 Nomadik CPU inside, running at 264 MHz, Nomadik being a multimedia chip with tons of features. After Samsung Hungary doesn’t officially sell this phone at us I gave them too a hard time, but the result was the same plus the info that the whole package is told to roll off a production line that is related to Philips (can a processor roll?). The size of RAM is 64 MB, but there isn’t much free space left for the user, as there’s only 25 MB of ROM free in best case. This is why microSD has been invented, isn’t it?
The operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, so it’s quite new. Samsung added lots of own stuff to this, beginning with the twenty display modes for the standby screen. It’s really cool, one could hardly choose a best one, there are both spectacular and practical ones too. The Touchwiz graphics (similar to F480) is from the first category, there is the Living World with dynamic wallpapers representing the country we’re in, but there are lots that help use. I tried to make lots of pictures in order for you to see how many choices one has.
Of course there are lots and lots of skins for these, so we really won’t be bored until we manage to compile the settings that are perfect for us. Upon entering the familiar Windows menu with icons we get to see the most recently used apps on the first page, all the others are just a click away. There are so much of these that it’s easy to get lost. Of course software installed later on can be put in any kind of subfolder so we can get a clearer picture.
