This handset has a decent 320x208 pixels touch screen capable of 65K colors, one VGA camera and one 1.2 Mpixel camera. It comes with 32Mb ram (about 24 available) has bluetooth and an internal AGPS.
It runs on Symbiam UIQ.
The first thing I did after getting the phone was get some extra memory.
The largest micro SD (Transflash) that works in this handset is 1Gb. I currently use one from Sandisk and it works very well.
It also only works with the normal speed micro SDs. I tried the 2Gb Ultra II from Sandisk with no sucess and read in many forums that the 1Gb Ultra II doesn't work either.
Things I wanna do with the (already a bit ancient) a1000:
- Browse the internet via Bluetooth (using my computer link)
- Currently I'm having problems with the bluetooth setup
- Watch movies
- Smartmovie is an excellent movie player and converter, but is a bit overpriced.
- Tried Cristal 2 Mobile which just made UIQ freeze
- Tried TCPMP but the alpha version available is far from usable
- Will stick to the original movie player on 3gpp format for now. 3gppconverter is a good converter from avi to 3gpp. The set that works best is 'qcif high stereo'.
- Use as GPS
- nhGPS works well but the phone's antenna is too weak
- Still want to try the smartCom gps which is an navigation system
- Listen to music
- Bundled player is ok for now
- Read pdf
- The built in reader (picsel viewer) cannot resize pdf to the screen size
- Read html
- Picsel viewer does a fairly good job
- Read word docs
- Also here Picsel viewer is enough
