Nice design, great screen, pretty colours, completely useless with a Mac, can't transfer iTunes library, three built in ring tones, no customisation, phone repeatedly freezes, email sync is a joke (and with POP3 mail will never fully work), pay for maps, doesn't fully delete SMS messages on first go, no multi-delete SMS options, confusing interface, alarm doesn't work. A bargain at £35pm. Not. Now £350 out of pocket buying a Blackberry Bold 9700 which is everything the H1 should have been. Oh and Vodafone laughingly wanted another £5 a month for Blackberry service when I called to change.

Samsung engineer - could you please go back to school and learn how to code? The system is in shambles and it looks like you lost touch with reality.

The phone has got a really poor interface and basic functionality like email and content synchronization is flawed to the point of being useless. Using the phone is a constant string of problems.

Have you ever heard about the end user experience? It's a misery to use H1 phone and believe me I use mobile phones for last 15 years and am a programmer myself and know Unix systems inside out. Reliability and functionality wise using MS Windows 95 was superior experience than using H1.

You are lucky the hardware is so good (in fact it's better than iphone), otherwise nobody could use the phone.

I am blaming you and your colleagues for coding this phone so badly that you nearly (if not altogether) ruined it.

It would be best if you, your colleagues and project managers changed the job and never touch the keyboard again.

Bye,

J-

I work for vodafone myself and am software programmer for samsung, this is one of the best handsets around, touchscreen is bang on. you can change the ringtone however it wont display its changed. there are 1000s application around the market for this handset, specially linux operating system, which is very flexible in how it works. people put comments without realising how to learn the phone or how everything works. im a samsung software programmer and know how all these handsets work. H1 has the best operating system that could be around.

The only way to discourage corporate brainwashing is to encourage people to go out and learn for themselves.

As this is just a phone and a lot of people do not put much thought into buying a phone they are not going to spend a lot of time worrying about it.

People that do care about what phone they use will do the research.

Rubbish phone. Does not support personal ISP email setup. Only supports a limited selected email, BT, Yahoo, Aol etc. Found the OS to be overly cumbersome, slow and sometimes upresponsive. Returning to store to get a replacement Blackberry bold.

However if you just want it for social stuff, Facebook then it is a good phone...

I have just returned my handset after having it just under a week. Overall the touch screen is brilliant, contacts pages and integration with FBook and email accounts is brilliant I especially liked how SMS replies appear as a blog in speech bubbles, the MP3 player and Video quality is sharp and clear. The 360 service is easy to use. There are many good things that I can list about this phone and overall I was impressed..... However there are a few thing that tipped me into returning the phone as follows.


1) you cannot change the SMS alert tone to a user selected one you are given 3 naff ones despite having the original samsung ones installed on the phone.

2) You cannot personalise the phone in any way, ie change themes or put wallpaper/screensavers on you can only change the user I/F colours of which there are about 6. Points one and two are my biggest bug with the handset and I must say if these had been dealt with I would of probably kept the handset, But the fact that you cannot personalise the phone is its biggest drawback. We dont all want to be the same do we?? It takes me back to my old B/W Nokia which only had 8 tunes on it and I do think we have moved on from that.!!!

3) The GPS has no pre installed Maps so relies on the GPRS connection, which is fine however as of 1st jan this is chargeable

4) The PC Sync Software is fairly poor , ie, quite basic and the drivers do not install properly on Windows 7

5) Concern that with the Iphone being released shortly, that this handset will be put on the back shelf

6) The facts that the GPRS connection is active pretty much all the time and you have no way of turning it off. Very annoying at night if you have a clock radio on the bedside cabinet next to it with a speaker!!!!!

7) Not as good signal reception as Nokia at Home, I cant always get signal, where my old Nokia had no problem

I have hear users say about sync problems with email, but I never experienced this, the set-up was easy and quick.

That’s about it. If you can live with the items I have mentioned ( of which I am hope they will eventually sort, although no news yet) then this phone has the potential to be good. It just proved too annoying for me, and with some good handsets in the pipeline early in 2010 I think I'll wait

Yes. It will work with MSN. I've set mine up with it and it works a treat. Just add your msn account to your 360 account and chat away!

The vodafone 360 H1 is a great device.

There were and still are a few teething issues but they are being resolved really quickly. The chat was slow, sometimes taking hours to send messages. no its more or less instant, also with the location nudge. I was put off at first, thinking it was a half cooked idea that was't polished. but now its starting to come together nicely...

Still a shame about the lack of apps for the shop but that will come. still prefer to Chat on my Blackberry but thats just personal taste with touchscreens...

360 TIL I DIE!!!

Jay
