Toshiba G810 Review

I have been using this phone for about 8 months now. Most of the review talks about the good and bad of the phone but i am just going to talk about the bad part as i am so unhappy with the peformance of the phone.

First the touch screen, yes when you test it out for 1 or 2 days it feels great but once you start using it the screen sucks big time, does not respond to your touch most of the time. Then comes the the phone itself, after using it for about 2 weeks i realise that the phone switch off by itself as and when it likes. I was trying everything i could download updates and stuff and the issue was never resolved. I decide to bring it to the Toshiba, gave it to them and explain what is the issue about and after 3 days they called me and told me that it was due to the battery as it was lose, they changed the battery, back cover and also updated the phone to the latest firmware which is no availbale on the internet. Picked it up and started using it again and within a week the problem came back, and until today nothing can be done to solve this issue.

Second, was the speed of the phone once you start using it for few days you can see the respond speed sucks, it takes for ever to load a screen up and when you answer a call it will just hang and you will not be able to do anything other then hitting the reset button which will take about a minute to get the phone back to normal. I tried everything uninstalled some application, reset the phone and load all data again send it to Toshiba and again nothing helped.

Finally the 3G settings, even if you are in area where 3G signal is good the phone keeps on jumping from 3G to 2G and back and forth. First i thought it was because of the service provider, called them up and they did all test and even came to my house to do some testing and finally it was concluded that it was because of the phone, when we testing with other phones which is running windows mobile 6.1 everything seem to be ok, the signal stays connect with 3G for hours and the moment i swap the phone back to 810 the 3G signal will last for few minutes before it jumps back to 2G then with in a minute it will jump back 3G.

After 8 month i gave up with the phone and changed to Iphone and todate no issue.

So if you are considering to buy a Toshoba G810, think again.

It will be good if you could leave your comments if you had any issue with the phone like me.
