> In reply to Must Buy Phone @ 2008-04-30 22:35 from n{0CThe answer is NO. Big NO. Unless you need it just to keep it for collection. Everything, I mean everything is working with a huge portion of suck. I am in no need to describe all acpects as it takes a lot of time. Just do not want to waste my time and yours as well. Today I overslept because of this shit. the battery was full but this shit overslept too (what was the reason of mine f...d up). I upgraded software a year ago and still keep re-upgrading but it still self-switch off in many other reasons and you cannot say when and why. UNRELIABLE so much that you can put it in the top of lists of shits. What esle if I miss the calls all the time and do not have the treatment in real or vertual. You do not need perfect screen as it is here if everything else sucks. trust me. You will dream of the simpliest phone for 10 bucks which you can find around.

Very interesting device , excelent display , good sound (in HeadPhone / Speker) , good finishing , interesting set of features (including USB Host, though i didn't make it to work with a Apacer USB Drive ), the cammera si bad(symilar to the one in 5310 xpress music) , Bluetooth is quite fast , the internal memory (for storing files), is very small and it fills up , and the miniSD memory card format is an unpopular one , the keyboard is very confortable and visible .

Th main argument against this device is that is verry slugish even dough it's equiped with a 500 MHZ Processor and 112MB of RAM , and an unconfirmed NVidia GoForce GPU .
And the second misshap of this device is the lack of built-in GPS reciever .

I only tested the device in an office enviroment , so i don't know how it reacts in direct sunlight (the screen) , and the autonomy of the battery .

Anybody with this phone , please say your phone's age and average stand-by/talk times of it .

I am waiting sugestions and answers about the battery life .

Hi again; I bought the phone after all (since noone replied anyway) but I'm *desperately* tyring to disable that T9 option; It's absolutely horrible, everytime I try to type sth sth else comes up and it's absolutely impossible for me to type what I want to type because the damn phone assumes it knows better than me what I want to write. I've tried everywhere to disable that T9 thing but with no luck :(( Not even the salesguy knew how to do it

Can anyone please give me some advice so as to if I should buy this phone or HTC's S 730? On the one hand I like the fact that Toshiba's screen and keypad sizes are bigger, but I've been reading some bad reviews on how it hangs all the time, you can't read anything on the screen in day light, the camera is bad etc, so I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice too..

thanks :)

I have one G900, before I was with a O2 Xda Exec (Jasjar). G900 is a lot better, BUT BECAREFULL, after buying the G900, go to www.myg900.com and update to latest ROM Software, the unit will run realy smooth, I recommend for Business purposes, not for 3D Gamming. Else, is a real 800x480 internet broser, good Exchange mail sync, need freedon? Get one G900....

i have this phone for 3 months now, here are some of the problems:
- hangs every 4 - 5 hrs
- hangs when its off (screen off)
- install any software, hangs every hour
- dead pixel already
- internet explorer doesnt work properly after extensive use (after 1 hour)
- no screen protector,pouch,extra stylus like the htc products
- camera is useless, would have been better if no camera at all
- finger print scanner is a gimmick, only used for short cut to open an application (when set) dont know if it works with 3rd party software for security
- reset button is inside next to battery, so everytime you have to reset, u have to take off the battery cover, which has become loose already.
- goes into silent mode ramdomly
have sent it back to toshiba, hoping to get my refund ! my adivice DO NOT buy this product. complitely useless. if there was an award for useless product, this one would win hands down !!
