Just another QWERTY Phone…..
The B7320 has a classy, business-friendly appeal although the brown color tone may put-off a few. It’s sleek and fairly light. The fairly-sized screen disappoints owing to average sunlight legibility. The keyboard has well-sized keys, but they’re hard and not intuitive to use. On the inside, we have the ageing Windows Mobile 6.1 OS laced with Samsung interface customizations. The internal hardware is fairly powerful to run the UI at a decent pace, a welcome change from the laggy performance we’re used to from Windows Mobile devices.
The praise end there. Internet Explorer is simply unusable to view full-fledged websites. It comes only with viewers for MS Office files, there’s no option to create documents. GPS works well with Google Maps. Photos from the camera appeared slightly washed out, but acceptable for a camera phone. Call quality and network reception is pretty good. Surprisingly for a Windows phone, the phone belts out decent audio quality and the headset also has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone lasted about 1.5 days under heavy usage, which is quite fine. Spec-by-spec, it is comparable to the Nokia E71. If heavy typing is what you’re looking for, we’d recommend the E71 over this one. But if you are specifically looking for Windows Mobile device, then it’s not a bad option to consider, but we feel, that, for a non-touch device it should have been priced lower.
