Samsung N628 - with 16 Polyphonic Ringtone

This is my new toy! A Samsung N628! In fact, it is a birthday gift!

Specification

• Dual Band
• 83g in weight
• Pearl White in color
• 16 polyphonic Ringtone
• 6 color LCD

The Good

• It looks good, and also the hand feel is good too
• Reception is good, even better than Nokia 8310 (may be because it has an external antenna)!
• The 16 polyphonic ringtone is just wonderful! Listen to the ringtone example!
• The 128 x 64 pixel LCD display is good
• You can use a flash cable (yes, it only works with the flash cable) to input your own Polyphonic ringtone

The Bad

• No caller group function, even my good old Smasung M100 have this function!
• Only 5 telephone numbers can be assigned with personal ringtone!
• Only 5 telephone numbers can be assigned with personal LED color!
• Only 5 Voice Tag (dailing) is supported!
• The music for switch on and off the phone is too loud and also your can't disable it!
• No infrared, GPRS, Bluetooth is provided, only with very basic phone function!
• Standard battery can only last for 1.5 days !
• The English menu is ugly! May be this phone designed for the Asia market and expected the user to use Asia language!

The Ugly

• The phone book of this phone is the most stupid one I have ever seem!
• If you copy your sim card phone number to the phone memory, you have to copy one-by-one!
• If you assign personal ringtone to phone number stored in phone memory, it won't works! Because this phone will search the sim card memory first, so if you have two John Chan in both sim card and phone memory, and only assigned personal ringtone to the phone memory, sorry, don't expect you have personal ringtone for John Chan, because the phone will only give you default ringtone.
• Try to assign personal ringtone to both sim card and phone memory? Oh, don't forget you only have 5 personal ringtone budget with this phone!
• OK, assign the personal ringtone to the sim card memory! If you change the sim card, all setting will be erased!

Comparing the N628 with T68i, I think it is a toy only! Of course, it is a toy that plays good sound :)
