I own this phone as of two days ago and have it with Softbank. First of
all there are hardly any 4G spots around for any consistent use on 4G.
Skype will not function properly on this phone when on 3G full bars. The
earpiece has very poor sound quality and is difficult to hear with
sometimes. The rear speaker is a plastic mono slit on the back of the
phone and can not be heard very well and distorts if turned up. This
makes speakerphone functions useless unless in a silent room. Overall
the speakers and mic compared to an iPhone are a big FAIL. The camera
cannot take pictures at night because the flash dose not work properly.
It is weak and fires too early. Auto and off are the only settings for
the flash. The video camera lacks an anti shake feature. Manner mode
button is achieved by holding down the volume down button. This can be
clumsy when trying to switch back and forth wile walking in and out of
manner areas. Phone has a nice desktop charger but It only charges and
in order to interface you must plug a mini USB in the top of the phone. I
was hoping the charger also interfaced. Overall the phone is stuffed
with great power for computing and playing. The screen is beautiful and
images are crisp. Taking pictures in the daytime or well lit areas only
will result in beautiful high resolution images. Plugging an external
mic and speakers into this plastic box will unleash surprising high
fidelity. The battery is a big boy about 5 hrs of continuous tinkering
and mine was down to 20% so I figure its less time for gaming or playing
movies. I will say that I am very disappointed about the camera and
speakers and for 80000 yen I feel cheated. No more Fujitsu toys for me.
I want my money back but I’m stuck with it for two years. I hope Fujitsu
can address these issues or recall the phone.
