Siemens SXG75 Review

1.

When I tested the phone, I used it as my main handset for about a week. Then I faced no problems with connection quality. The loudspeakers happened enough loud for conversations even in noisy streets. And when listening to the radio, I even had to decrease the volume. The sound was also very qualitative, however high frequencies sometimes reveal noises. Midi compositions sound well. The vibracall is traditionally very powerful, and it may be used as the main call alert. The integrated graphical accelerator works at full-load. This handset can replace a portable media player for video demos in the most popular formats like 3GPP and RM. A great plus is you can sort entries in the phonebook by various parameters, but its capacity of up to 500 users seems outdated. Voice dial is also an advantage, but it requires primordially recorded tags. Modern rival models allow voice recognition without previously recorded tags. I really liked the calendar. It practically places no limit on the number and format of entries and can be used as a daily timer. If you have some event repeating daily, just enter it into the calendar and you will ever miss it. But nevertheless, the phone contains some disadvantages. The changed version of the operating system now prevents from direct work with Java applications from the memory card or Bluetooth. That immediately cuts off those users who like reading from the phone. The integrated GPS navigator will be of any interest only on the assumption of full localization with support for local maps. Now it is almost useless with the current software. Women audience is excluded due to big size and weight of the device. Office documents are not supported fully either. In fact incompatibility to record a conversation with a dictaphone disappointed much. To observe the low base they could just make a sound signal notifying the interlocutors. In the end, the model rouses many questions. The ideas are perfect, but the realization is awful.The consumer market is very narrow for this phone at the present software version. All ideas fulfilled in the handset are now in hands of the new owner - BenQ, and their presence in new phones wholly depends on this company. It seems that the device lacks very little to be a fully-functional and modern phone. And we still can hope that all works to solve problems with localization will have been carried out and all innovations placed in the phone will have had an adequate fulfillment by the official sales.
