Basic functions
The address book can be as big as the internal memory. Since this, in our case, is 8 GB large we can boldly start entering the full phonebook of Budapest; some space would still remain free. The system simply hates the SIM card; it is wise to copy our entries to the internal memory. Here we get a pile of data divided into tabs; every name entry can get a lot of additional information and the birthdays appear on the calendar too after a confirmation. In case of pictures associated with images there is a possibility to zoom in on a part of the picture, this way bringing closer the head of the person.
Message handling is professional. SMS and MMS messages are stored in the same folder there is no size limit on them, although national networks allow a maximum size of 300KB per multimedia message. However I couldn’t get used to text entry because of the strange layout of the keys, so I tried character recognition, but for this to work properly the stylus has to be pressed harder than normal and the virtual keypad is too tiny and I hate pin-pointing stuff. In turn the software capabilities are complete, we have copy-paste, text formatting, the system handles smileys, so everything’s cool on this part. The email client is easily configurable, I sent a 14 MB large email through 3G, the W960i solved without objection. Above all there is Exchange Server synchronization, which can be configured with the help of a wizard. If everything goes all right our business emails follow us automatically, but we can still add some spice by installing the Blackberry client software, as we have a possibility for this, too.
The calendar is just great; it works flawlessly on the UIQ interface, I’ve liked it at the Motorola Z8, too, which had a similar system implemented. It’s clean, transparent, has a lot of functions and it’s easy to use. The alarm clock remembers three points of time, but – and now I would like some stunned silence – the alarm won’t go off if the phone is switched off, only in flight mode. Okay, I know, this is a kind of sex-appeal at the P-series, but if the Motorola Z8 had solved it with a similar system, than in the case of a Walkman top model we can call it a shame without remorse.
