                        Problems you are mentioning is only basic, those who are going to buy a phone does not stick to these basic features....

                        If a person is going to buy a mobile, only ask the salient features but not ask about very minor details...(EG:- Shall we see the upcoming pics continously by pressing next??, Is this mobile have fullscreen feature will seeing pics????)

                        As you said "I also suggest others to buy this phone",
                        The problems which you are saying cant withstand with the fantastic Mega features of S3500... I think you also agree with me!!!


                        I definitely want to say that, "you are gentle with words... Nice to see you here"....

                          Yes. You need to press the button for more time to unlock the phone.

                          Alternatively You have to open the slider to unlock.

                          The above are some of the usability issues.

                              I am just listing down the problems because I want you guys to take informed decision. But I also agree that this the best mobile in this price range as Boss is saying.


                              Problem #2:

                              You need to install a driver to connect this mobile to a system unlike anyother mobiles.

                              And the PC Studio provided with this mobile crashes the windows system often. I have installed on my Vista genuine software and XP SP2 genuine software and in both cases it crashed the system.

                              Donot answer it like I didnt install it properly or I am waste guy who doesnt know how to use windows etc..

                              The windows problem report said it is a problem in the device driver installed with this software. It is basically a problem with USB modem driver.

                              So I installed only USB driver which is necessary to connect to a system then it stopped crashing.

                              To reproduce this issue, install PC studio connect the phone and safely remove it. Do this operation 3-4 times and it will crash the system.

                              I would recommend you guys not to install PC studio on a office system.

                              The workaround is install USB driver only from the CD. And if you want to use PC Studio then download and use PC studio 3.

                              Thanks.

                                Ok Anonymous..

                                I agree that this mobile is the best in its hardware in this price range but there are basic drawbacks in this phone. I bought it just because of that. And I also recommend people to buy it. But I will also let them know the drawbacks of this phone before buying it. Because I read your reviews and bought the phone and I was annoyed to see these basic usable issues.

                                Regarding my problem 1, If you are able to browse the images stored on your memory card with next button or doing a slideshow then I am sure you are not using s3500 or u have an updated firmware. Please also understand that the fullscreen view of the image is different from zoomed view.

                                Someone asked whether he can rotate the picture. No u cannot do it in this mobile.

                                I will not comment like you guys, but please maintain cool while answering to people who report problems.

                                Thanks in advance.

Each of them can have its own snooze time, number of repetitions and activation days. The volume can also be different for each alarm. Furthermore, you can set different tones for each of the alarms and you can choose whether it should trigger phone vibration.

                                      "Random Wallpaper Effect"
                                      very intresting feature...wenever u use ur mobile n came back to standby....it will welcome u with diffrent wallpapers of ur choice each time.(to know more read earlier reviews)

                                      "smart dialling"

                                      "SMS ZOOM Function"

                                      cam cover: cam is not at the back of fone....it is inbetween the slide so slide act as a cam cover...protect lens from scratches, dust n all.

                                      can change DEFAULT MEMORY setting: u can change default memory settings of bluetooth, wap downloads, camera, camcorder, voice recorder, fm radio etc from phone mem to memory card.
                                      for ex: now when u transfer any file through bluetooth or click a pic, or record a radio clip they'll b directly stored in ur mem card.

                                      Awesome file management:
                                      The functionality of the file browser is one of the best among non-smartphones. You can copy or move files - both one by one or in bulk, and you can create and delete new folders (save for the basic ones). Files can also be sent via Bluetooth one by one or multiple at once. Throughout the whole file manager, you can pick files you would like to lock to prevent accidental deletion. The whole file navigation thingy is really quick with no lags whatsoever.

                                      apart from these there are a lot more features like "THEME CREATOR" or BLUETOOTH MESSAGING....the list is endless.....we r still exploring....




                                      these features are coming in at Rs.5500 only....
                                      If these features are available in other mobiles, then buy that phone immediately....



                                      REGARDS,

                                      BOSS!!!!!
