Samsung i7110 - the good path

Software, phone calls

As I’ve already mentioned the operating system is Symbian Series 60, so those who have already used such a thing will have no problems – and it’ll take no more than a couple of minutes to learn for the newbies. The phone has the new kind of active standby, which makes all important software and features accessible with a couple of keypresses.

The main menu has a grid view by default with 12 icons, but we can choose a V layout as well. There are three themes, besides the default one there is one with bright colors that is not very elegant, but perfect in terms of readability. We will have no lack of software, i7110 has everything you’d need on a mobile phone. In the office menu there is a basic calculator, and advanced alarm clock, a unit- and currency converter, a notepad, a calculator with month/week/day views, a name card digitizer, a file browser, ZIP, QuickOffice and a PDF reader. Going a menu up to Samsung LBS we can find GyPSii, Travel Guides and the GPS+ application that offers faster GPS positioning. In the media menu we’ll see RealPlayer, the sound recorder, a video editor and the image browser, which has some basic editing functions as well. In the applications there are some nice things like fring, DLNA, ShoZu, RoadSync and two 3D games, FIFA 08 and Asphalt 4. I’d like to note that the handset has a gyroscope, so the image will rotate with the phone in applications that support it.

There is no problem with call-related software either. The phonebook can store contacts until it fills up the internal memory, we can create extra fields, so if we’d like to store the foot size of some of our contacts, we can do it. Messaging is also great, besides SMS and MMS messages, there will be no problem with emailing either, the client supports authenticated IMAP servers and attachments too. The call log displays dialed/received/missed calls only on separate pages, but in turn we can take a look at call durations. There are of course profiles too, ringtone volume is great, just like sound quality during calls.

Web browsing is also a great experience with i7110, of course only as good as it can be on a mobile phone. The reason for this is not only the MiniMap browser of Series 60 handsets, but also the optical “trackball”, which works like a touchpad when browsing, we can move a mouse cursor with it.
