Review:
Just got the phone yesterday and so far so good. Review above is accurate although 2 things frustrate me. When scrolling through the contacts/pics/menus it isnt always that great as it can be a bit slow you keep selecting things when you are trying to whizz thru them so takes AGES to locate the one you want! Its like the Ipod touch or the iphone in that you whizz your finger up the screen to scroll thru and it isnt always accurate.
Second if anyone else has this phone please help me! When texting HOW ON EARTH do you put a capital letter in the middle of the sentence? So if you wanted to say "My friend James" how do you get the capital J for James?? You can change to capitals, select the J then change back to lower case but then you have to type "ames" seperately to the J so it wont save it as a word! So annoying! With my Samsung Soul you just hit the bottom left button to make the first letter of any word captial and the rest of the letters follow in lower case but dont know how to do this on the Pixon.
Apart from that I am a bit disappointed that the only customising you can do is changing your wallpapaer. You cant have different themes or screen savers and you cant have the menus in list form instead of that grid form either which you could do with the Soul. You also get 1 alarm tone that you cant change and minmal options for built in message tones.
I have 7 days to decide if I want to keep it and I am 50:50 at the mo. I f I am mising something on any of the above please tell me!
