This is the first time I am writing review of a product on Mouth shut...any ways I bought Samsung Max F679 in the last week of September. I was using LG RD6600 before this but I lost it, hence got this one. In last three weeks I have found some serious issues with the ease of use of this set the issues are as stetd below:
You can not call, recieve or disconnet calls with your handsfree
While listening to FM there is no provision of changing station with handsfree or without unlocking the phone (either Slide or hold the OK key)
Besides above two the biggest let down is :
PC Studio 5 software that is provided with the set is only XP compatible (I am using Vista Ultimate SP1). Since I have lost my last phone I was counting on this suite to save me the efforts of entering all the numbers/contacts etc. by entering it from my PC (Imagine enetring 200 odd numbers by typing each one of them in my phone directly)
I simply cannot understand is it that difficult to come out with a Vista Compatible version for PC Studio 5???
I dunno may be "SAMSUNG" does not care.......
Whatever may be the case all the above issues have left me really frustated and dissatisfied.
Barring the above 3 Cons the phone is good es[ecially Style & Design are its biggest plus points. Thus if one is fine with these shotcomings then Samsung MAX SCH-F679 is the sure thing to go for.
P.S - I cannot comment on the service of Samsung, as I am still waiting to hear from them for an explanation on the Software issue above. After some.....4 mails and 3 weeks of waiting (and counting)
