most pros >> the battery life..now 3 days with some wifi,texting,receive call..still have 2 more bars.xD
Yes, I love this phone too. The battery life, as is with all Samsung Windows smartphones (non touch-screen), is amazing (I had i600 before which battery life is amazing too, & that only had 1000mAh, while B7330 has 1500mAh). I upgraded the firmware recently & it made B7330 even better, because my complaint before this was that the alt button toggles between alphabet, symbols/numbers & pinyin (chinese characters), which I don't use. With the new firmware, the pinyin toggle is gone, & so, now it's easier to type because just alphabet & symbols/numbers are available now (note: you'll lose Mobile tracker function with the upgrade though, which I don't use anyway, because it's not everyday you lose your phone
). I also like the shortcut 'Alt + letters on keyboard'. Makes it easier to open any app from the home screen. And also, main reason I still stick to Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) OS rather than move to Windows Mobile Professional or Android etc is the shortcut in the softkey menus, where you can quickly jump to the menu options by typing the number of the associated menus.
About browser, at the moment, I'm still using Opera Mobile 8.65. Is Opera Mobile 10 really that good? Maybe will give it a try later. Infact I'm writing this reply on my B7330 using Opera Mobile 8.65.
My only gripe still is the message button. With i600, I was so used to it opening the message app, so that I can quickly flip through emails & sms, but now, had to long-press before can open it. Short press creates New Message instead. Wish B7330 has an active developer/hacker group (which it doesn't) which can fix issues like this.
I wonder if anyone has bought the new Samsung Omnia Pro 5. It's basically B7330, but with the audio port changed to standard 3.5mm plug instead of microusb, which I wished B7330 has. But actually, other than that, Omnia Pro 5 is a downgrade with smaller screen, lower resolution camera & lower HSDPA max speed.
So, I think overall, after almost a year, I'm pleased with B7330, & hoped that Windows will continue making Windows Mobile Standard phone rather than focusing on the new Windows Phone 7 only (no true multi-task, copy & paste & microsd slot!)
