    Speaking from a neutral standpoint, I totally get it when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone in 2007. He was doing that 'business chart' that showed how complicated dumbphones were and how even more asinine some smartphone developers, ending up with even more inconsistent and convoluted interfaces.

    Some manufacturers really (and I mean REALLY) need to go back to the paper napkins to draw and map out user interfaces that are simple, effective, contagious, and universal.

    I disagree with this review. Samsung is the number second manufacturer in the cell phone business. No matter what, this device will sell pretty well. What is wrong with Window OS?
    Yes, it is not perfect, but it will be fine.

    Can't say I disagree with anything in this review. Samsung needs to take a good look at their phones and realize that nobody with a functional cerebral cortex considers their UIs as intuitive.

    It's a shame because their hardware is top notch. The other day, I bought a Sammy F400 B&O edition as a backup phone. Brilliant sound output, but I can't for the love of god; figure out how their menu system worked.

    ...and It's a dumbphone.

    Sufficed to say, I sold it within a day.

    I have the original omnia, and agree that the standard Samsung Touchwiz interface is useless... much like the standard WinMo interface.

    That being said, the hardware has a huge amount of potential, once upgraded to SPB mobile shell. While one may argue that you shouldn't have to upgrade the GUI with a third party app, I will argue that it makes all the difference, and quite a pleasurable experience overall.

    @gitchelg: Indeed.

    Stock 6.5 ROM and SPB shell is the way to go with this hardware. I have friends who did exactly this and trust me, none of them miss TouchWiz.

    Main Problem:

    Windows Mobile is shit. I worked with it for 3 years. Over at XDA chefs do all they can to make it better but at the end of the day, it's shit.

    Most of the disguises that phone makers use to cover this shit known as WM with turn out just as bad.

    I seriously don't understand how people still stick to WM. Freaking symbian functions/looks better, crashes/freezes less.

    IMO, if you buy a piece of hardware that the OS has to be "covered up" then you already made a mistake.

    Its different than android, wherein the default UI doesnt NEED to be covered up to be modern and usable.

    Im actually pretty amazed you guys even bother to review winmo phones until 7 comes out.

    "It gives you a headache to use, like reading tiny text in the dark, or reciting the alphabet backwards when drunk"

    Whenever I see Cops where they make drunk people recite the alphabet backwards, it scares me. I don't think I could do that sober without having to think a lot.

    With respect to the review, for some reason I couldn't stop laughing as I was reading it. The tone of your writing just seems like you are genuinely frustrated and it's quite funny. The first two lines summarized how the review was going to go and everything after that was just a bonus.

    You guys can tell that a phone is going to suck. Why do you review phones that look like crap? I mean, you couldn't smell the sweet scent of [insert disgusting smell] from a mile away? I know I could.

    It's sort of sad when the hardware is begging to have the standard issue Windows Mobile setup.

    Welcome to Samsung, ladies and gents!

    I actually sent them an e-mail ages ago when the f480 came out, urging them to PLEASE never put TouchWiz on a phone again. They didn't listen.

    By the way, TouchWiz means exactly that: touch your penis. Because it will feel infinitely better than touching a Samsung phone.

    @HeroOfTomorrow: TouchWiz sounds more like touch the stream flowing forth from your penis.

    Or even worse, someone else's.

    Samsung: The war's over. TouchWiz won the war. Now we must busy ourselves winning the peace. And Kaiser, there's an old saying: To the victors belong the spoils.

    Agree completely, I tried it, and it looks like it was designed by four men who never met, and all had schizophrenia.

    On another note, is this the first balanced Winmo review I've seen on Giz? Nice job!

    In reply to LG Expo: It's Got a Pico Projector Bolted to the Back, Of Course
    I've said this before but this is just the beginning of the pico projector on cell phones. Soon it will become a fairly standard feature on phones.

    Remember when only a couple cell phones had a detachable camera feature?

    BTW, can I just ask that for now on pico projectors be referred to as PPs?

    So in the near future, someone will ask if your new phone has a PP and if so, what size.
