Why I didn't like my SonyEricsson V802SE

Friday, March 10th, 2006

Here's a short list of things I didn't like about my previous phone. In no particular order.

  • Screen is way too dim
  • You can insert emoticons into SMS and MMS messages, but the selection frame is just a simple rectangle - almost impossible to see depending on color scheme or light conditions (sun etc..)
  • the set became very loose after less than a year of usage
  • the built-in camera's produces grainy pictures of pretty bad quality no matter what
  • keys are hard to press, and sometimes you have to push pretty hard for the unit to repond to your actions
  • vibration is pretty weak
  • email alarms are limited to built-in alarms, most of them are not easy to notice in some noisy conditions (and you can't set the duration of alarm when incoming mail arrives!)
  • you can't enter more than one email address for a contact (are we in 80's or what? people have at least 2 accounts nowadays - mobile and computer emails)
  • power cord connector got pretty loose and easily detaches from contacts
  • the build itself is pretty cheap.. and the build quality as well as user interface quality is below normal level imo.

    Well.. there's more but I'm tired :)
