Data transfer, summary
I could simply do this part by saying: it has everything. Starting form GPRS to 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA and the Koreans didn’t omit WLAN either. Such a large display screams for some web browsing and the browser is no disappointment, it’s easy to use both in landscape and portrait, it’s quite fast even at large websites and it can zoom in to areas where we double-tap. Scrolling is okay, so I can only applaud Samsung’s work.
At local level we of course have Bluetooth and USB connection, and we can even charge the phone via cable connection. This might not be that important as thanks to the low power needs of the AMOLED display, i8910 HD can take it for three days with a charge, even though I’ve been watching movies, I had the Bluetooth turned on at all times, I’ve been using the GPS, the internet… and still. This a great aspect of the phone.
Just how the whole phone is great. We can again install cool stuff on Symbian, after Nokia 5800, i8910 HD also makes the most out of the system and Samsung didn’t mess around, they’ve put everything they had in this model. It turned out good. The lacks and downsides are not that significant, maybe they could have used some more metal (although then it would weigh nearly 200 grams), image reviewing speed is catastrophic, the TV-out cable would have been nice and I could even use some multitouch.
But in turn we get an astonishing display, highly advanced imaging and video recording capabilities, a cool headset, a menu system that is almost always fast, a powerful battery and a perfect list of supported data transfer protocols. Functionality and fashion have met, so I wish I could forget that it costs over 700 euos. Yup, we could even buy a nice little netbook for that sum.
So after all these I’m thinking about what kind of award should I give. If we don’t take its price into consideration than it should be highly recommended. Anyway, it’s too large of a sum to pay for a mobile phone, so my judgment has been on the edge between cool product and recommended. Finally I decided for the latter as we believe that just like how Omnia’s price dropped, the next Samsung (maybe Pixon 12?) could affect this horrible price-tag.
Yeah, it’s recommended, but it’s not yet recommended to buy it. Let’s give it a couple of months.
