I have been waiting for sometime to purchase a good business phone with with Windows OS, and features like Wifi, GPS and 3G. I was ready to compromise on touch screen. Well yesterday I went to a store which used to be Nokia Priority Dealer and just changed to Samsung Dealer. I dropped by there to purchase a basic phone for my Mom and found the phone i have been looking for nearly an year. Interestingly it was within my planned budget.
I asked the store person whats the best deal can you give. I got it for INR13900/-. I think its worth it. I made the deal and got myself a brand new phone. I fiddled with the phone for 1 hour at night and 2 hours in the morning and got Skype, GoogleMaps started working on it.
Hooked to internet using the Wifi connection, started the Google maps. Went to courtyard and activated the GPS. Wow, the coordinates on the google maps were accurate( nearly 4 meter difference). I guess that is quite accurate with just availability of 8 satellites.
This phone has got facebook browser link integrated.
Till now features are good.
Yes sometime I do feel the absence of touch factor, as touch factor assists to make any operation faster.
As usual the windows have an inherent issue with memory management and this phone is no exceptional. In general user will not understand the difference unless u start browsing several pages in internet and keep multiple application open.Advisable to open task manager and end unused applications.
This phone has got a typical resemblance to Nokia E71. The FM has got RDS along with it. (AFAIK in RDS You can get FM channel information along with music). I liked that BIGFM information automatically got enabled with i auto tuned the FM channel. Reception is pretty well. U'll have to hook up the earset to start the FM.
I guess this phone is value for money.
7620 is a real deal. I stay got this phone for 12900/- . I am using this for last couple of weeks performance wise good.. but yes sometimes I feel that the receiving voice quality is not very clear ( earlier I was using HTC ) Otherwise this is a value for money
Hey Anirban, can you tell me from where u got 7620 for Rs.12900/-
i would like to go for this model.
