Feedback

1. Data: Works without a problem. The proxy network is automatically selected on the Advanced network. Have to manually set it up to my GPRS setting. Noticed this switch happens when I run Auto data config.

2. Wifi: No problems selecting multiple networks and routers. Wifi router: Connected in first attempt.. The first I have had in many ROMs.

3. Internet sharing: No problems... works better than the router

4. Call connects nicely, no drops.. clarity is good.. The radio is flawless. All buttons (mute, add call, speaker etc) work very well while on call. Tried the conference call today, was a big laggy, but i am sure that is operator related.

5. Battery: I started to flash in the above sequence at 63% and had 18% remaining after a lot of playing around, data, music, and approx 47 mins of call. So far so good. Switched off and charged over night. So far losing less than 1% an hour with normal usage. Down to 94% in 7 hours with about 15 mins of call, 4 sms, 2 times (12 cities) weather update and some Opera browsing.

6. SMS - No problem. Dont use MMS

7. Music: Manila music tab works great.. no skipping. Tested on lock mode, unlocking from locked mode, screen dim, skipping songs to come to the one i want to listen to

8. Photos: Smooth zooming, smooth scrolling. Works flawless on landscape mode.

9. General touch sensitivity: Very smooth and responsive. Sense is on steroids for sure.

10. Camera: Again no noticeable issue. Flash, zoom, focus, .. all works good. Please note: the flash doesn’t work if the battery is under 20%

11. Bluetooth: Again this has been a problem for me... doesn’t seem to connect properly or steadily. Connected once but lost connection on file transfer. Will keep trying.

12. Google Maps: Quick and responsive. Satellite lock taking time.

13. GPS: Not tested yet

14. MS Office: All documents were loaded nicely. No error or incompatibility seen.

15. In call and voice recorder – In call recorder records.. but the voice from the other side is very dim.. maybe a registry edit?

16. WDMC: Does what its meant to do.. syncs without a problem.

17. Push Email: 1 Gmail and 1 hotmail account. All OK.

18. An eye candy as always.. Love the new calculator skin.

19. The notification screen is something I am not getting used to. It looks misplaced. Task manager button is not visible but is sure clickable.

20. Internet applications - Youtube.. works nicely.. clicking links from IE doesn’t necessary open the youtube link.. or maybe its because the connection is slow, FB - Good, [Bing. Market place not tested]

21. PIM Backup restores my contacts, smses, call history and speed dial without any problem.

All in all it s great keep and NRGZ has outdone him self. The 23128 is surely a keeper and is quite stable. I have had no SOD, hang ups, freezes in the last 18 hours.
