Reasonably good. I helped configure GPRS/email etc. on it for a customer, a couple of months ago. I was noticeably faster than 1st generation phones (of the same type) like Qtek 7070/SPV. I you've known/seen the SPV then this one is quite an improvement.

I have the E200, it's good for a cheap smartphone but Windows is a power hungry whore. Battery won't last longer than a day and even opening the start menu takes a few seconds. It insists on using Outlook to sync contacts and not being an outlook user, it's a bit useless. Oh, and contacts HAVE to be on the phone to be able to sync, not the sim. And as far as i can tell, there is no way to copy all contacts to phone at once.
Bluetooth is okay but drains the battery in a matter of hours. Camera is VGA and pretty decent, nothing to shout about. Video recording isn't bad either.
Because it is windows, there are very few *good* free applications for it. There isn't anything like Floats Mobile Agent. ActiveSync (the software that comes with it) seems to work only when it wants. It randomly disconnects and takes up (in my humble opinion) far too many resources when it has connected.
Call quality is decent, the loud speaker is the best i have ever heard so playing MP3s on it is a joy, just don't go expecting thunderous bass =)
SMS is horrible though, you cannot set delivery reports on as default, you have to set it everytime you send a message. Deleting all messages at once is awkward and if you leave them to build up, you'll notice it getting slower opening menus.. You can't enter a 0 (zero) while using T9.
Aha, sorry to do nothing but bash it but it really isn't that good. You won't find a place like Esato either, the only one is full of typical windows zealots who don't mind having their PCs controlled.
Some pretty decent games though.. =) |

others are the upcoming Motorolas MPX220 and MPX100. The SPV C500 is out soon too, ugly little thing though.
Never tried a Sendo X but imho, Symbian > Windows |

IMHO Windows (Pocket PC Phone Ed) > Symbian > Windows (Smartphone)
There are two Windows-based operating systems. Pocket PC and Smartphone.
Pocket PC is more powerful than symbian and look at all the apps available for it.
(XDA/MDA and the upcoming MPx are Pocket PC phones.)
The one in this thread is based on the Smartphone OS and it's kinda hard to use. |
