User Interface

The user interface is similar to the one found on the Samsung G600. It's attractive and pretty easy-to-use. I liked the fact that one can integrate the calendar directly onto the Home screen.



The Home screen shows the status and network reception of both the SIMs. Both SIM phonebooks are nicely segregated. While placing a call, one simply has to press the SIM selection key to switch from which SIM the number is to be dialled. The same goes for messaging.




It's got a full-fledged file manager, music application, image editor and other nifty tools like a World clock, Converter etc. The music app lets you create play-lists and has got a few equalizer presets, but no option for a custom setting. You can also install Java applications later on. The menus are animated. The UI isn't very speedy but fairly usable.

The SIM card manager is useful since it lets us select the Primary SIM card and also disable the one that is not needed (For instance: You can switch off your work-related number when you don't want to be disturbed, but still get calls on your personal number). The call records also display the SIM on every call that was logged.

This is the most worst set i ever purchased in my life and i'll swear that i'll not purchase any samsung product going forward in my life.. Within 6 months of my purchase I started facing the problem of white screen. Samsung service center doesn't resolve my problem as when the returned the set the screen was damaged. Now they are asking money to repair this problem... I'll suggest everyone to stop purchasing any product of samsung as they are stealing our money...

Thanks for a quick review, Rohan. However, it would have made a lot of sense to have reviewed the following, 1. Networking features 2. Inbuilt browsers and ease of use while using opera (full/mini) Since any dual sim phone would primarily be used to do some *work* apart from *play*, i found these missing items important
