Basic functions
The display is quite tiny. With its 1.5 inches diagonal it is one of the smallest pieces from the competition and it is accompanied by a 128x128 pixel resolution, far-from-perfect CSTN picture quality. To put is simply we can say that this is Samsung’s worst display for mobile phones. We could start a philosophical debate about the question “is such a screen enough for a heavy-duty phone?”, but we should take into consideration that aforementioned Siemens ME45, in case of which the manufacturer packed its model, already successful in the middle category, into a stronger casing and this was the key to its success.
The menu system also shows ancient Samsung signs. Although they were tricky and drawn a BlackUI startup screen as background, but upon seeing the icons, one can find out that the menu is based on 2-3 year old stuff. Nine little drawings, unchangeable color scheme and all of the already known mindless Samsung ideas, like: the OK button takes us to the WAP, vibration and ringing doesn’t function at the same time and creation of new messages is started in T9 mode.
The phone book doesn’t know anything extra: it can store 500 names and lists the contents of the SIM and the internal memory at the same time. Contacts can have associated a maximum of five phone numbers, one email address, a note and one graphic, not even photos are allowed. Message handling works with text and multimedia contents, the latter have a size limit of 100 KB. The storage space is enough for 200 SMS messages and 2 MB of MMS messages. The keypad is not very bad, if we succeed in disabling predictive text entry we can type at a fine speed.
Organizer functions are at a basic level too. We have a month view calendar; one type of note can be taken. The alarm clock knows three time points, this can be configured individually as on which days of the week should they activate. The calculator is a basic one too; the offer includes a stopwatch, a countdown timer and a measure converter.
