| Creating play lists in order you want them to be played , is rather a frustrating and a heavy time consuming task
No search option in audio player Music player doesnt resume after a call When you have got 1000 or more songs stored in memory card , its tough to maintain them in play lists No custom equalizer in audio player . You have to be accustomized with pre configured options . No bass metallic sounds available while there is no any significant difference between available surround and wide sound modes Social network integration is a fake . They are just links that take the user to their mobile web versions . So , no any integrated apps for social networking An unstable Operating System ( refer JAVA table ) Video recording is limited to 295 Kbs Cannot answer a call through headset while listening to audio player . You have to unplug the headset first and attend the call next Camera image capture is slow . Slaw shutters Keypad is not for big thumbs . Two thumbs down ! Until the messages are sent , you cannot attend any other tasks . Incoming calls are an exception Not your typical video player nor video recorder . Many users agree that the video aspect of the phone is not appreciable . According to them , CHAMP is lot better at audio than video . The video player plays only QCIFs at a low bit rate but non of QVGAs . Also videos are recorded in VGA format Many reported failures to handle large number of SMSs in conversation mode . Phone keeps restarting at every attempt , approach The phone is notorious for not accepting the memory card as the default download location for online direct downloads , video recordings etc The screen is a TFT resistive touch screen , but not a scratch resistive one A minor reports of bluetooth dysfunctions after some usage In overall , the bluetooth ( of the phone ) is considered as slow Sometimes it supports direct downloads while doesn't let install apps through memorry cards , written by a PC . Sometimes it installs games and apps from SD cards placed by a PC while adamantly demarcating direct downloads . Sometimes it hesitates JAVA file transfer through bluetooth but let the data cable do the work . Sometimes it allow the bluetooth to perform the task in behalf of the data cable . Many are pleased to have experienced the true Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde during their life time File recognition and handling is pathetic . Many reports of auto switch on offs while handling , managing files Scrawling is sometimes troublesome Stylus usage without a screen guard may lead to scratches FM reception is not that good without the headset Back end is hard to remove When dragging , the screen is not so responsive . Misspresses commonly take place Many users recommend that the phone is not for heavy browsing Too glossy top . You can easily pass dirt , finger prints to the next generation Customization options are average . It has got only two pre-instilled themes . No downloadable themes so far Lack of OS / Platform . What we have got here is a budget phone with a touchable screen that provide a poor JAVA run environment , in the era of ANDROID Poor video play back . Video converting formats are hard to measure . Supports only 3gp , MP4 formats ( only in H263 format ) at 15 frames per second The keypad is not backlit . But the three buttons are rarely used . All major functions can be done touching the screen While browsing , you cannot read the message just arrived . Apps cannot be minimized either Video full screen mode doesn't fill the full screen in full A considerable amount of auto turn off , restarting , switch on / off incidents while accessing SMS inbox , texting , browsing , calling , pausing audio player etc ( refer the the tips and facts table below for further details ) Contacts are auto Black Listed without owners prior permission Direct downloading for JAVA apps is a pain . In many incidents the message " invalid jar" is displayed and apps go hide and seek In the game folder Dont read PDFs and .txts Default browser doesn't load large web pages . An infection reportedly being transmitted from old browser versions like Netront 3.1 (law cash) The phone is widely accepted as a music phone because the music capabilities are more targeted than apps at a time where apps have become the entertainers with ever growing demand The handset is said to be carrying MIDP 2.0 compatibility but dot jar files are hardly recognized . " INVALID JAR " is a common sight . Thousands are searching online for solutions . I suggest if you register the domain invalidjar.com - which is available at the present - and park it , you can have a good income easily Files that exceed 52 characters in title are invisible Local variations may apply . C3300 - No cam version C3303 - Comes with a cam Also there are two further VGA and 1.3 MP variations available The touch screen is relatively small for a touch screen phone Poor camera . Many negative reviews towards a poor camera capture quality No multi tasking . You cannot even minimize a single JAVA app . If you want to make a call , to do some texting while surfing etc , you have to walk around . ( have to close the running app ) . But many browsers like OPERA , BOLT , UCWEB support simultaneous calling texting etc . But not many apps , games let that happen Average radio output Poor JAVA support [refer the JAVA Table below] QWERTY keypad is available only in portrait mode which makes keys so tiny that hard to press seperate No text copy paste function Frustrating PC support . Latest PC Studio doesn't recognize the phone . A data cable is not included in the original box either . A bad omen ? Many have found that added words to the T9 no longer exist there When messages get the maximum allocated number , they are auto locked . Unlocking them deleting them in most times leads to restarts Multiple SMS sending is erroneous . " Some text is missing " is prompted Downloaded games , apps go nowhare . While some directly downloaded apps cannot be found in the game menu , they still occupy memorry SMSs recieved from automatticaly black listed contacts , go to Spam Box making sure that any kind of communication is not taking place between both parties Only 500 messages can be stored . Inbox + Sent 3000 file limitation Only QCIF videos supported , not QVGAs Not the cam many spec sheets boast as 1.3 MP which should cover an area of about 1280*1024 . It's only 1.23 of about 1280*960 pixels Cam doesn't Autofocus . It's a fixed focus which has to be manually zoomed in or out Memory card reading writing failures are to be expected File crashes , incomplete downloads places some junks in the "C " that cannot be deleted manually |
