Basic functions

The contact list can store 2,000 contacts. It is quite interesting in terms of additional data, we can store a couple of phone numbers, email address, ringtone, photo, birth date and note, and there is a new feature, we can select different rhythms of vibrating alert for contacts. This doesn’t have any real point as when the phone is in my pocket I won’t feel anything specific, the only ones that could have any chance would be the member of a percussion group. Besides this we can set a number for video calling, message tone, home and work address, occupation, company, and a personal and company web page.

If we open up the contact list while the phone is closed than we get a virtual keyboard. As this has the same layout as the physical keyboard, I say we should use this latter one. Fortunately the handset won’t dial on first touch in the contact list, but we can open up the entry with a double-tap and here we can choose between a simple voice call, video call or sending a message.

As for messaging we have SMS, MMS and an e-mail client. I have already mentioned scrolling, but typing is another thing. The method we’ve seen at the phonebook is available here as well, we get a virtual keyboard by default, and if we open the phone we have the real keyboard. The handset, however, has a gyroscope as well, so I’ve though that the virtual keyboard will turn to become QWERTY keyboard and it will be much easier to type. Well I wasn’t right, the designers at Samsung have forgotten this, so there’s no easy virtual typing.

The phone can store 500 text messages, while MMS messages are stored on the internal memory, just like the emails. There is a wizard to help us set up our email account, it has presets for the network operator settings, but we can create a new account as well. The app had no problem with attachments, it was willing to send the eight megapixel photos as well. The file format doesn’t matter, the system handles those too that aren’t supported by the phone.
