My Phone (Genio Slide)

Thought I would do a review on my phone, just incase anyone wants to know.

My phone is a Genio Slide, it's the third phone to be bought out in the Genio range (after the QWERTY and touch.) I love my phone. It lacks in a few places but is strong in others, but now phone is perfect, not even an iPhone or Blackberry. 

Appearence.  
As you can see, it is a very attractive phone. It's nicely curved and it fits together nicely. The red really stands out as well, it would be nicer if it came out in more colours as well though. I think the three buttons on the front (dial, phone down and centre) look really nice. 


Home Screen.
It has three home/wallpaper screens. You can customise these with widgets such as clocks, facebook, twitter, callendars, event notifications etc. You can also have three different wallpapers so there's not need to spend ages choosing one.

Menu Screen
You also have three menu screens, with a variety of things to press. It comes in IM already installed as well as facebook, wifi, myspace, radio, bluetooth and a calculator. All handy things. You can change the picture at the back and well as witch and move around the widgets.

Messages
You can text message, multimedia message and email off this phone, although I do have problems doing this. I find it very, very difficult to set up and email, I have tried multiple time and I can't do it. It also can't send a multi-media message because it says my settings are wrong. I try to change the settings but it still doesn't work. Also, you can view your text message in two ways: one in the usual text message format, and two as a coversation in speech bubbles. The annoying things is, you can't see everything someone has written in the bubbles, it takes off some of the words so you have to look at it in text message mode which gets very frustrating. So there are quite a few faults with this.

Internet
I haven't had that many problems with the internet. Although I can't find my history, which is annoying, the internet is very good. Not the quickest to load, but not the slowest either. It's very easy to use and I really like it.

Files and camera
The camera is decent, it does what it's supposed to: take pictures. But once you press the button to take the picture, it takes the picture about 3 seconds after which is annoying. Also you can't get any cool themes to put around your pictures, only the usual black and white, sepia etc. When you to view the pictures, they're blury for a second before they come back to normal, which is very annoying if you're in a hurry.

In conclusion, I do like my phone, it does everything I need it to and barely messes me around. I'm just excited to get a BB bold 9900 for Christmas!
