Digital camera Review: 1 month impressions
Summary: 4 Stars
1. In general I am satisfied with quality of calls. Usually it is much better that calling Skype with computer. But sometimes I have the same effect of broken speech when I call my parents abroad in the morning.
2. Screen's quality is very bad, low resolution screen, ugly looking.
3. The most disappointing thing in the phone is notification tone, this device notifies every time it starts charging its battery, and there is no way to turn it off. Sometimes it starts beeping every 2 minutes, non-stop. I "like" this feature especially at night. Actually I consider to crack that ******* beeper out of it.
4. You get Skype service without PC. Skype provides very clear billing information. You get rates and length of all phone calls. So you can easily verify your spending.
Taking in consideration mentioned above, I still recommend it to purchase, it very well compliments mobile phone.
As all internet services it lefts feeling of toy with unstable quality. Probably in the next generation they will make something better. But next time I'll not spend more then $30-$50 on it.
After TWO YEARS I still cannot get used to its slow interface on one hand and I must say that Skype service became much more stable. It is really became part of our daily life especilly after introduction of flat rate $10 a month for international calls.
