Vodafone 360 Reviews

Pocket-Lint review the Vodafone 360 and writes;

“The onscreen keyboard does offer you suggestions as you type and is it ok whilst the screen is responsive, but it doesn’t have the slick pop of the HTC Hero or iPhone. Moving the handset from portrait to landscape flips the keyboard around. Viewing photos, movies and webpages in landscape is fine, but generally the menus are all designed for portrait use..”

PCadvisor review the Vodafone 360 and writes;

“Combining the fun factor and responsive touchscreen of the iPhone and the excellent communication features of the Palm and BlackBerry, the Samsung H1 is a superior phone that’s up there with the best of the smartphones.”

Reghardware review the Vodafone 360 and writes;

“The screen is a very serviceable 3.5in, 800 x 400 OLED number that’s sharp, bright and clear. It dominates the front of the handset, and the overall look of the phone isn’t dissimilar to any one of a large handful of full-frontal touchscreen phones. We found the capacitive screen a little reluctant to respond to screen taps at times, though. Getting haptic feedback is well and good, but it does need to be accompanied by action…”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

MobileChoiceUK review the Vodafone 360 and writes;

“A massive 16GB internal memory is superb, and Samsung always excels when it comes to cameras – the H1’s five-megapixel snapper doesn’t disappoint. Vodafone 360 offers a number of social networking features, but your friends are required to also have an enabled device for them to reach their full potential..”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

IT Pro has first look review of Vodafone 360 and writes;

“A 3.5in capacitive (480×800 pixels) OLED touchscreen sits centre stage above the hard keys. We found it very responsive to our commands…The handset runs the LiMo operating system and the user interface is bright and colourful. Some may find the sweet shop colour scheme a bit too sickly, but others will love it.”

Knowyourmobile hands-on review the Vodafone 360 and writes;

“As alluded to up top, you can’t help but covet the machine’s stylish layout. With an 11.1-inch screen at 1366 by 768 resolution (I’ll get back to that in a second), I’d expect a scrunched-up keyboard with inhumanly small buttons. Not the case. In fact, the buttons are huge by ultraportable standards. The wide, flat keys take a little getting used to, but. I had no problem tapping out this review on the U110.”
