Ok, a few of top of the ist flaws with the SMT5600.
I just recieved my phone couple of days ago. Overall, the phone is nice. It's small, great sound quality and screen display is the best is way better then my old Nokia 3650.
1> Can't route and listen to audio thats playing in WMP or betaplayer through a bluetooth headset. Aaarghh..they have this problem on the PPC and now the smartphone!!!
2> I installed Fonix VoiceDial. But when I try to dial a number through the bluetooth headset (HS810), it's conflicting with built-in voice dialer. Hold the button to get a voice prompt and I see the phone launching it's voice dialer and then hear the prompt from fonix voice dialer.
3> Can't lock the phone while having a phone conversation. The END button will end the call.
4> The included stereo headset buds are the size of a nickle. Can't fit them into average size ears!! A few people tried them on.
5> Even without any background applications running. The menus and program responses on the SMT5600 are very sluggish.
6> No indicator to tell me if bluetooth has established a connection with another device. Except for the bluetooth symbol at the top showing that bluetooth is ON. My old nokia displayed a flashing symbol whenever data was being transferred or when a connection was established.
7> When trying to turn up the volume on the speakerphone or headset using the side buttons. It show's earpiece volume. Does the phone mean headset or volume for the current profile?
8> Rocker button click or pushing down on the action button to select or execute something. . I still haven't gotten use to this. Wish I could map a number key to substitue the push down on the rocker button.
9> No transfer via bluetooth in file manager. It has IR transfer. But "send a file" with bluetooth. I've had this feature on the Nokia and Erricsson phones.
10> Only 3 filtering options in Contacts. It will only let you filter by contact category..such as personal , business . Cannot filter by phone contacts, Sim Contacts , Mobile, Home or work.
11> So far haven't had any luck trying to get a Bluetooth GPS receiver to connect to the 5600. I have a belkin receiver and tried to use Mapopolis with it. It seems I'm retricted to port 7 for incoming serial port connection.
Has anyone had any luck with other navigation apps on the 5600?
Of course there are other annoyances. But they've been discussed here before.
I thought this phone would be perfect. But not quite!
