Basic features
The phonebook’s size is unlimited – that is it can grow until there is free memory. A contact can have many phone numbers, email and postal address, comment, birth date, function, company and voice commands assigned to every detail. Names cannot be sorted only by first and last name, but also by company and function. Font size can be set in three steps and in case of those contacts that have more details assigned to them, we can access the different phone numbers or email address by scrolling sideways.
Just like in the case of the contact list, we can change font size at messaging too. The inbox can be sorted by date, sender, size and type. SMS and MMS messages share the same folder, while email messages arrive in a different one. When setting up a new mailbox there is a wizard to help the user configuring it. In case of well-known providers it’s enough to enter the address and the phone tries to solve other settings through the Internet by itself. The number of messages we can store depends only on the amount of free memory we have. The email software handles attachments too; I couldn’t find any limitation in size (theoretically the maximum size is 99999 KB) and there were no problems with authenticated SMTP servers.
Text entry is done by default using the bit hard buttons, but there would be no use of a touchscreen if we couldn’t write using it. Besides handwriting recognition we can also use a virtual keyboard, but I think that most users will stick with the conventional keys.
The calendar also lives up to expectations. We can store four kinds of entries: meeting, reminder, full-day schedule or anniversary. The latter one is where birthdays from the contact list get transferred to. All four types of entries ask for different kind of data, but the software doesn’t warn us of conflicting events, we can see these in the week and day view. The alarm clock handles three time points, that can be repetitive, but unfortunately these do not work if the phone is turned off (although they do function in flight mode). We can find other features in the organizer menu: there is a stopwatch, a calculator (not scientific), task list, PDF reader and flashlight, which turns on the camera’s flash.
Besides the PDF reader we also have Quickoffice, which doesn’t only open MS Office documents, but we can also edit them, although it takes a man to create a presentation on G900. The list of applications also includes a name card reader, while in the games section we can find Sudoku.
