hi All

 

was at the samsung store today.

tried this model, seems like most value for money

 

however, i have a few concerns which the shop people cant help to clarify

 

1. Can this phone be connected to laptop and use this phone as a modem to surf web from the laptop ? (assume batt life is not issue)

 

i dont want to keep taking the 3G SIM card in and out of the phone to share between phone and laptop

 

2. does it hang very often ?

 

3. is the LCD clear and visible under strong sunlight ? I work outdoors often

 

4. is the batt life short ? i take about 100 calls a day , spending average 2min per call

including surf web and read email

thanks in advance !!

answers to your questions:

1. Yes... drains battery rapidly when using as modem. Only recommended when using external power.

2. No - does not hang with stock software. Can't guarantee what happens when load additional software.

3. No... it's pretty bad under normal sunlight. Need to put the backlight on and brightest for any usefulness in sunlight.

4. Battery life is great when backlight is off, and not using as the modem for PC. Can make calls, surf internet (using 3G+, gprs or wifi), and play games. If moderate usage, can last 3-4 days for full charge to go to zero. For heavy user at least 1.5-2 days. If light use, can last about a week without recharge. With backlight, modem and heavy use, can last about 1 day.
