Messaging
One of the most important challenges that all touchscreen phones have to face is text entry. Well, i8910 HD passed the exam with flying colors, although I most note that it’s no big deal creating a good landscape QWERTY keyboard on a 3.7” display. The virtual keys are nice and spacious, there is practically no chance to mistype.
If we don’t like to rotate the handset we can use a portrait keyboard as well, but in this case we get a standard phone keypad’s virtual image, where we can type with the well-known method. Besides these there is handwriting-recognition too, but it’s hard to use with a finger and we have to practice a lot to make it work. We should forget about accented letters, this feature is mostly for Asian languages.
Of course we can’t really say anything bad about the functions. We have everything we can, SMS, MMS, emailing and of course the capacity is unlimited, we can store all messages on the memory card if we want to. The MMS standard used is the old one, so these messages have a size limit of 300KB, but there is no mercy for emails, if we want to stress the hell out of the HSDPA network we can attach huge files, the only limit is the available system memory. This means about 30-32 megabytes of space, which is usually enough for emailing.
Samsung tries to keep up with Nokia, so there is a business emailing application, called RoadSync. This is made by DataViz, its task is to provide remote access to our Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 account, it syncs calendar entries, HTML mails and the business contact list as well. We get a Documents To Go license for free, but this isn’t very important due to QuickOffice. Anyway we should note that this costs 50 dollars.
