Notes

Pluses

  • 2.0 Mpixel (1632×1224) camera with auto-focus, a decent CCD and good macro mode
  • RDS-enabled radio (usable without a headset, but you have to plug it in—it’s the antenna)
  • USB charging
  • 1.2 with HID profile
  • Now works as plug-and-play USB storage without drivers in
  • The usual UI, decent XHTML browser, client, etc.

Minuses

  • Proprietary connectors for power, data, headset, etc.
  • Media player needs better playlist management
  • Screen layout (title bars, service indicators, soft keys) makes the browser look cramped and small
  • Still no way to choose a smaller font for either the UI or the browser
  • Depending on operator branding, the “Send To…” menu is cluttered with useless options

Officially supported by Version 2.1 (88.0), but cannot dial or send from (a bug that is getting pretty old by now, and that prevents a lot of advanced uses).

This is apparently a mistake by , since this hint states that support can be enabled like so:

  1. Quit and backup your Address Book app, etc.
  2. Control-click on the Address Book app, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents → Resources.
  3. Control-click on Telephony.bundle, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents → Resources.
  4. Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist with Property List Editor (or a text editor to change the XML in a more primitive way).
  5. Find the array in ABDeviceCommandSets.plist: Root → 2 → ABDeviceModelStrings … you should see one string entry here: K700. Add another string entry with the value K750.
  6. Save and quit.
