Samsung Pixon M8800 Review

Overall Rating

Camera, sound and looks very good

Apart from that I am a bit disappointed that the only customising you can do is changing your wallpaper. You can't have different themes or screen savers and you cant have the menus in list form instead of that grid form either which you could do with the Soul. You also get 1 alarm tone that you can't change and minimal options for built in message tones.

Just got the Samsung Pixon yesterday and so far so good. Review above is accurate although 2 things frustrate me. When scrolling through the contacts/pics/menus it isn't always that great as it can be a bit slow you keep selecting things when you are trying to whizz through them so takes AGES to locate the one you want! Its like the Ipod touch or the iphone in that you whizz your finger up the screen to scroll through and it isn't always accurate.

Second if anyone else has this phone please help me! When texting HOW ON EARTH do you put a capital letter in the middle of the sentence? So if you wanted to say "My friend James" how do you get the capital J for James?? You can change to capitals, select the J then change back to lower case but then you have to type "ames" separately to the J so it wont save it as a word! So annoying! With my Samsung Soul you just hit the bottom left button to make the first letter of any word capital and the rest of the letters follow in lower case but don't know how to do this on the Pixon.

I have 7 days to decide if I want to keep it and I am 50:50 at the mo. If I am missing something on any of the above please tell me!

  Hey, you can capitalise letters but I cant be bothered to type it if you didnt keep the phone, so let me know.

  With the texting issue, just turn the phone sideways and the screen rotates and produces a normal keyboard. When the keyboard is turned, a shift key appears.

  To change to capitals in the middle of the sentence, press the "abc" button at the bottom of the text screen, and select "Abc" which changes to capitals.
  Also, it is possible to change your alarm tone. When you create an alarm (or edit an existing one) click the "Set Details" button at the bottom of the screen. From here you can change the alarm tone, alarm type and alarm volume.
  It is also possible to scroll through contacts ect. by using the zoom in/out button on the right side of the phone.
  
  Hope this helped!
