Well I just bought this phone. laugh.gif Feel free to ask any questions. About the fitness feature. Im using it. Its quite interesting. I dont know what motion sensing technology they use. It doens't responce to anything shaking but rather when you are walking. Very accurate. You put it in your pocket and it calculates how many step you take. So if you don't even remember that you are using it, It will prompt you every week about your progress. smile.gif

Hehe thank you all. Let me try to give my first phone review. laugh.gif Tell me if I missed anything.

I bought my set at One utama. They were having a promotion. I bought it for RM1099 (Original set with two years warrantty). One from the manufacturer and one more from the shop. Add extra RM100 to change to 512mb M2 card. Got a free adidas bag

Well first the the design.

The clamshell design is quite good. The external screen is monochrome. It basically shows the display of you music, radio, steps you taken, messaging, clock and phone numbers. Its optional to be switch on or off (I usually switch it off, save battery life anyway)

The outside feel is rubber with plastic in the middle. On the sides we can choose to play music (play, foward, backward.)

Inside the keypad is like the Z series of the phone. Responsive and good for sms users.
(I'll try to post some pictures when I finshed playing with it)

The features

Menu: The standard 3 x 4 SE menu. With a walkman icon in it to play your music. Another new feature is the fitness (we'll get back to that)
Games: 3 preset games. (A side scroll shooter, tennis (as usual), a jumping game)
Phonebook: Can store up to 1000 names and 2500 numbers.
Fitness: This is the intersting part of the phone (In my opnion)
We can set our age, high and weight and the it will calculate how many calories we have.
They got to functions: Running and waking. Walking is a very cool motion sensor that moves when we walk (can be calibrated). Running:.. err havent had time yet laugh.gif

Walkman and radio fuction

I never had a walkman phone before but I can tell you the sound is excellent. The best part is is got MEGA BASS. Something you find is most of the standard walkman. Plug in you headphones (which are a bit tricky to put on since they fit behind your ear) and you can hear the bass thumpung. The headphone also serves as an attenna so you can hear the radio on speaker mode.

Video

Quite good. Very crisp and clear. I havent tested it yet.

Camera. 2.0 megapixel without flash. Nice pictures. Got a photo editor.

Well that about does it. That my review. Tell me if I missed anything.

Before I forgot. What is in the box

1 x handphone
1 x headphone with extension (serve as a handsfree)
1 x belt strap ( what this do you can hook the handphone and put it on your belt)
1 x mesh strap ( this you can hook the belt strap and put it on your wrist for running)
1 x software
1 x usb cable

Yeah you can still get the fon for 1099 but only for today. After that the price will go up. I think 1199. At the new concourse area. They are having a special James Bond promotion
