E52: More bugs than watergate

0 replies · 3,346 views · Started 27 August 2009

I have had around 3 hours to try out this phone since taking delivery, and WHAT a disappointment. Bugs found so far include:

Browser: Toolbar does not function; Full screen mode does not hold. Go back a page, load another bookmark, it reverts to normal screen mode.

Text Input: Word auto-completion will not turn off.

Download Files: Downloads keep stopping and I have to reload. Zip files end up somewhere in Quick Office!

OTHER ISSUES

Signal: Holds the signal very poorly. Keeps switching between 3G and GSM. Rarely more than 2-3 bars on signal strength, always at full strength on my E51.

Build Quality: Nothing special. Awful slippery feel to the phone in your hand, and the battery cover has a particularly unpleasant and unnatural feel to it. Nowhere near as solid or robust as my E51.

FP2: My first experience with this, so what's the big deal? First impressions are that it is just too gimmicky, having to go through 4-5 procedures when one sufficed on FP1.

THIS PHONE I DO NOT LIKE! Rant over! lol
