Final Review of The ASUS Padfone 2

Finally done with all the school, and what happens on my last day of phone testing?
The phone falls down as I was going to pick it up from my pocket, it falls to the ground and the top layer of the screen cracks, not fully broken, but cracks...this drop was estimately 50 cm or so...and it CRACKED...
i'm so mad,
since it clearly says, if you break it, you buy it in the terms for the product testing...
and i really don't have the money, after all i am a student, living on social services money...
the grades i got this week are awesome though, but they still won't buy the device for me, so i need your help.

+1 on google please;)

Well, then...Back to my final review...

padfone first:
works great, runs heavy duty apps like a dream, easy to use, OK battery(when you disable data/wifi and use only 2G) Battery lasts around a day with normal use, some newspaper browsing and a little bit gaming and a few phonecalls, messages.

Takes a while to connect to a wifi, roughly 6-7 seconds and compared to my iphone 4 this is LONG as it takes 1-2,5 seconds to connect to previously stored wifis.

I thought the casing was solid, but i got a proof today that the quality of the framing glass is terrible. ANY phone imo should be able to handle a short fall like that, how many times have you dropped your phone to the floor or any surface for that matter? this was the first time for me, ive really handled this phone like a baby, as i was thinking i was just borrowing it, at least until they would give it to me;)

asus sync just wont work, besides installing the unlock bootloader on the phone:P

rooting was a breeze, even if i didn't break all possible boundaries to test the rooted functions. Main goal was to create a good backup of the phone and i did. So no bricking at least:-)

the pad works fine, besides the fact that the camera in front of the pad is quite low quality, i would have expected more...the decrease in MP's from the phone is so significant that it really shows on my videos, which i was really looking forwards to sharing, and thats also the reason why i didnt make more with the front camera...

but playing a decent FPS on the pad works great, and newspaperreading, small schooltasks etc. works great.

The phone surpassed my expectations especially when it comes to everyday tasks, and also running multiple apps at the same time.
im not so sure if i like the 3 bottom buttons and every time im supposed to press space while writing a message im back on the home screen or taking a screenshot(quite annoying)


the phonecall quality also seemed a bit lousy at first, somewhat unstable, but this improved greatly after rooting the phone, i have no clue why just unlocking a bootloader would have that effect?please let me know if you can tell me...

as  a total conclusion on a scale up to ten: 7

points to asus for making a very usable and enjoyable phone...
