AK's weblog

During the last few days, I had to use the Samsung V200 several times, and so I noticed the following points why the Samsung V200 sucks:

• There seem to be two different kinds of input fields, e.g. the URL input field for the WAP browser behaves differently than an input field in a WML page. It looks as if the same widget was implemented twice.


• The WAP browser can't show bold and italic text in WML pages. Even first-generation WAP mobiles can do that.


• The WAP browser's decksize is extremely small. It reminds me of old mobile phones. I didn't measure it, but it's definitely way below 3.5 kB.

My advise: don't buy it! If you bought it, bring it back, and get another one. I really like the Nokia n-Gage and the SonyEricsson P800, both really neat mobiles. The Nokia n-Gage is the only Series60 mobile phone where the cursors do not suck, and the P800 is more a PDA than a mobile, even with a little stick included (the P800 has a touch screen), and it comes with handwriting recognition.
