Not liking the slider. Wish it was a clamshell model…
Not liking the top buttons. The thin ones are the most useful. I wish Nokia came up with some nice responsive tactile input device like Ipod and Blackberry has done…
Received two text messages from 3 at 9am Sunday morning about configuring the mail application. Er, NO THANKS.
‘Skype In’ works. :)
I have a bag full of packaging. I scanned through the docs, but found nothing useful.
I am on a 32.99GBP 900 min&150 texts (Talk & Text 900) with the “X-Series Silver” addon (flat rate Internet) E65 Three deal for 18months. Oh gosh…
I can see from the receipt the E65 is valued at 279GBP. 33GBP*18months=594 594–279=315GBP service charges. Yowsers!
Bribed with a Jabra 150 bluetooth headset. You won’t see me in public with one of these!
I couldn’t get voice dialling to work. No idea how this is supposed to work.
I wish the editor was a little more responsive. Predictive text is ok, but still, it seems like input has not really improved for many years now. In fact a little worse with its sluggish-ness.
Andrei says he can connect his mobile to his macbook and use the Internet. I wanted to use the Internet through this device, though the salesmen as the 3 store were trying to sell me some USB data cable which I was never going to buy. I wonder if I can get this working with my Debian TP X40 (I think a kernel compile is required…). Update: my particular TP X40 doesn’t have bluetooth. DOH!
Complaints aside, I think this is a next generation device. I can check my email, chat and Skype away from my desk. Amazing!
The image viewer is really slow.
Oh course flash apps don’t seem to work
It uses realplayer for video. God no… :/
I was advised not to buy 3 insurance for the phone, though instead to get “First Additions” from Baclays at 6.50GBP a month.
“First Additions” gives you insurance for your cards, three other gadgets and some extras. Though after going through a really long process of opening this account feature and registering the IMEI, insurance cover only starts in 3 weeks time. WTF! I hate insurance. I’ve also found out since I don’t have a “Proof of purchase” for my thinkpad or Canon IXUS (no idea where they are), I can’t get them insured with ‘Lifestyle’. :/
I don’t like how the phone notifies me when plugged into the charger that it’s charging and that the battery is full. It’s disruptive!
Three’s support seems useless. After painstakingly finding the right form to send them feedback, they get back to me by calling me. An Indian voice saying that they can address my several point feedback over the phone, whilst I was out and about in the West End. I said to the person, email me the answers and then she said it can take upto 10 days for a response. WTF? I said I’ll wait 10 days then for her email.
As for “unlimited Internet on a mobile” type plans. I heard there is some competition from T-mobile UK with their Web ‘n Walk plans. Why do these phone companies have to make such ridiculous names for their Internet plans? Their Nokia N95 offering has got me envious.
You need to charge this thing every night. :(
Yesterday (10 days later exactly) I received an email respone from 3, briefly:
The is a 1G monthly usage allowance. Though a 3 insider says they actually don’t have the equipment to accurately track that.
“You can’t disable services browser”, 3 says. I think I have actually.
I wrote to them asking to stop promotional messages as I couldn’t find wtf you could it one their website and they write: “I’ve amended your marketing permissions and you should stop receiving any promotional messages from us after 14 days.”
I asked if there was an E65 user group, and they responded, yes, we do have E65 users on the 3 network. No shit!
They really seem to want me to call them, instead of email. Crikey…
