Samsung Rant problems
Samsung Rant, the missing review.
I would name this article, the ugly truth about Samsung Rant if I wouldn’t know that is not entirely true. Actually a pretty like my Rant, except some small (or big?) problems I have found in this first year of using it on a daily basis.
So, what’s wrong with Samsung Rant?
First of all, the quality of battery is worst than any phone I have been using in the last years, especially when is coming to listen mp3s. This is draining almost instantly the battery and is one of the thing that are really pissing me off.
The menu is such a shame. They were setup the menu to open on Internet Browser. If the phone is somehow getting unlocked in your poket the phone will go wild on the internet without you even knowing this. I discovered this happened in one day when I was riding my bike and guess what? The phone was opened by itself internet pages for a couple of hours. You don’t even guess how much I did payed for this stupid thing.
When Rant is gonna die, is really dying. When is coming to being discharged, the battery is running out of energy so fast! Be prepared when you’re on a single line of battery energy to plug it for recharging. I remember my old Nokia phone which was staying almost one full day on one line battery level. And was a really really old (and big! – do you remember Nokia 5110?).
Oh, I almost forgot about an important thing, the vibrations. Samsung Rant doesn’t give you the chance to setup both, the ringer and the vibration, you can pick up only one of these two. This is a kind of annoying thinking that sometimes we want to have both activate, the vibrations and the ring tone.
The contact list. Every time you go to see or modify one of the contacts, after finishing is not returning you the that contact in the list but at the beginning of the list. This being said, you modify a contact and you save it. When you go back you are at the beginning of the list. Just imagine if you want to modify a couple of contacts, you are starting modifying it in alphabet order and your contact list has 1,000 entries. This was getting me for a few times.
I will be back with new writings about Samsung Rant as I’m discovering something interesting to write. Meanwhile, peace! :P

You can set your ring and vibrate…there is always vibrate selection when adjusting your ring volume.
