Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX T830 user reviews

Good: Good processing power, understated elegance, GPS, WiFi, BT, 3G, screen renders colours very well

Bad: A 2mm unused black border round all edges of the screen

Comment: I believe this is the best product I've ever bought. It's the only product I own that is worth every penny I paid for it. By the way, I did NOT pay the price listed here, but about £200 less. This device is crammed with useful features and it's good at multitasking. My only issue is with the screen, as mentioned above, that 2mm black border round the screen, which could have been used, since the screen is not very large, at 2.4". Apart from that, the screen has excellent resolution due to the small dot pitch, colours are vibrant (unlike certain devices that fail to display e.g. some shades of red) & has good contrast, being readable even in sunlight. The package comes quite loaded with stuff to get you started. Solid build quality; even my friends & colleagues have remarked about this. I sincerely cannot understand CNET's ratings sometimes; they compare it with the O2 XDA Orbit, which has a meagre 200MHz TI OMAP processor, a microSD slot, proprietary earphone jack, and isn't even a 3G phone and give it a rating of 8.2, then they rate this amazing piece of kit at 7.9. I think the T830 beats the Orbit hands down. Some have complained that the T830 is somewhat bulky, but it fits well into most trouser & shirt pockets, probably due to its design. Thanks for reading
