My last review of the phone in general, in comparison with my previous phones – considering the price – still stands, but as I explore this phone, I realize what it could be and isn't, particularly by Apple and the iPhone. Having an iPod Classic, I use iTunes to get podcasts and check out games. They have a relatively new section of applications for iPod Touch and the iPhone, and that really impressed upon me why Apple is so much more expensive than something like Samsung: they have so much more to offer.
I have been looking around for applications for the F700 and have found only really poor quality games (which I'm not interested in) and a bunch of over-priced ($15-30) reference applications. I finally got one Oxford dictionary to try it out and it seems that the java file is not recognized by the phone. That would not happen with Apple. Dicking around with locking and unlocking parts of your phone is ridiculous as far as I'm concerned. Can you imagine buying a computer that is capable of playing computer games, but it's locked and you are unable to. Crazy.
The bottom line is that I now understand why Apple products have a higher price sticker: the products are fairly well supported. Search the applications on iTunes; you'll be astounded at how many cheap and (ostensibly) cool programs are available. If even a fraction of those were also available on the F700, it would be a comparable product.
