Ferrari Smartphone


Once upon a time, there is an European company with humble beginnings. They were the trendsetters, before Steve Jobs decide to enter their market. That's right Nokia. Nokia is losing out in smartphone industry. And my faithful 1680 classic gave it's last breath after the Bersih 2.0, because I was sprayed by the water cannon. I decided to buy myself a Acer Ferrari Smartphone(which is a Liquid S100)


Let's get into the details, shall we?



The pros:
  1. Great phone for fellow Tifosi
  2. Can open several windows(for browsing)
  3. Nice design

The cons:
  1. Poor battery life: The battery can last ~13 hours when you browse & multitask a lot, so far, I'm testing if there's any problem with my battery
  2. Poor bluetooth design: The design is great, but not practical for an adult as the volume button is too small. Perhaps, they should consider putting one button on each side to avoid confusion.
  3. No SDXC format: For starters, SDXC is a SD format that can supports up to 2TB of memory(theoretically). The current SDSC can support up to 32GB, which is a bummer if you're planning to store tons of pics, music, video & etc on this smartphone.
On a personal note, this smartphone using prepaid plan, but it does not affect my mobility at all. It complement my present laptops & netbooks & it replaces my prized blue iPod Nano 5th Generation(RM599+free accessories in good condition*). I'm hoping there's someone will come and buy my iPod(selling for RM450).
