Entertainment, Internet, Storage & Connectivity
EntertainmentIf GPS, Wi-Fi and FM radio doesn’t keep you entertained then you may want to download some games and applications. The best thing about Windows Mobile is that you can have all sorts of games and software for free. There are so many freeware and shareware games available that you will not have time to try them all. A good website is
http://www.freewareppc.com/ where all program are free. There are also a lot of Video Game Console Emulators available on the internet in which you can play Nintendo games and many more.
Internet
The P3300 has built in Wi-Fi, GPRS and EDGE. Wi-Fi is great for when you have a wireless signal and runs very smooth. Although Wi-Fi does drain a lot of battery, you can go into Wi-Fi settings and adjust the Wi-Fi to best battery or best performance or in between. Wi-Fi works best when it’s in best performance and is not only faster but has better wireless signal too. The phone has internet explorer which works great and you can also download other web browsers if you like. The P3300 does not have 3G or HSDPA built in.
Storage
The P3300 has 64MB RAM and 128 MB ROM. The phone has expandable memory too in the form of Micro SD which is also known as Trans Flash. Currently there is 2GB micro SD available on the market and retail for around 100 dollars. One aspect of the phone I did not like was the memory card’s location. The memory card is located not only underneath the battery but underneath the SIM card. This means that there is no hot swap capability. For those who pull out there memory card a lot to use with a card reader will not like the idea of where the memory card is located but I have a solution. There is a free program available on the internet called “WM5torage” and basically it turns your phone into a card reader!! When you turn on this application and plug into USB, your memory card turns into a mass storage drive.
Connectivity
The P3300 has built in GPS, Wi-Fi, EDGE, GPRS, Bluetooth and a mini-USB port. The mini-USB port is used for the headphones and AC power charger. The Bluetooth is version 2.0 and there is a built in program called Bluetooth explorer. It is basically a file manager over Bluetooth. Once connected to a Bluetooth device, you can select which files you want. I like the idea of the program but it does have a lot of bugs. Sometimes the program freezes and sometimes it just does not turn on. I love the idea but in future I hope the bugs are fixed.
