Good reivew. slightly disappointed with the phone...

Is it sure that the phone can't show caller picture ID on the external screen... ? It is a shame for a phone with 65k external screen can't have this simple function.



the NEW V810 will have this fucntion.too bad

Very good review. I considered buying such a phone but the fact it is locked prevented me from doing it. As far as I understood 3G is still in a test fase (no killer application).
At times I just wonder if there is any need at all for 3G. Masseur pointed out the fact he uses BT Wi-Fi which is cheaper and does pretty much the same things (except maybe video-calling). I also saw a Motorola that will probably have Wi-Fi...

The phone looks great, but in my opinion 3G is more like a playground at the moment.
I would love to have some of the applications on that phone (camera, clambshell, mp3's, size, double screen) but I don't want it to be locked (travel quite a lot and it would cost me a fortune in roaming, unless I would use a different one when abroad (which would make buying such a phone plain useless)).
Another thing I would like to ask masseur... What about battery time? Where you satisfied with it?

Thanks

I only had the V800 for 3 days so the battery never reached its peak performance. For this reason I chose not to comment on that topic preferring to leave it to someone who has had the phone longer

So, why doesn't someone write about the important things like standby- and talking-time, 3G to 2G handover, signal-quality aso.?

I heard that the standby-time is much lower than the Z1010.

I think your comments on the camera are a bit overdone, the pictures you have posted appear to be of equal, possibly better than the S700 pictures that I have seen! However your review was very good and provided me with sufficient info to know whether or not I will buy one-Probably!

Thanks!

BRILL review, well done.

nice and clear, and plenty of pics!

i must say though, the k700i is a much nicer phone, and i feel nothing for the V800 [addsig]

Ok I havent seen this posted but you can use the camera when the phone is closed and also activate the flash at the same time and use the external screen as the viewfinder...This would have been a perv's dream but due to the loud shutter camera noise I think you probably get caught...

Pressing the down volume button also brings up any upcoming appointements on the external screen.

nearly most things nowadays i made in china... its like a production centre over there... cheap labour and stuff.... quality wise.. people say japan made is the best... but in the end.. quality control depends on the production itself no matter where its made..

Great review masseur, I like the look of this phone although I am not on Vodaphone, I would have no use either for video calling, but the faster data transfer would be nice.

Thanks for the info, and I am looking forward to your JAM review!

Thanks, Charlie.
