The Gfive U808 is a candy bar style device that sports a silver aluminium-brush finish. Its lightweight, yet maintains a sturdy feel.
Navigating through the U808 is no problem with the proprietary Gfive user interface. You can navigate one-handed on the U808. The alphanumeric keypad is a little bit difficult to input responses because the button placement is placed so closely together.
The phonebook on the U808 allows you to easily find your contacts. Call logs will keep track of your missed, received, and dialled calls.
You can send text and multimedia messages. Email is not a supported feature on the U808. T9 is a supported feature, which is good because of the alphanumeric keypad. Still, this is not the easiest device to text on.
A basic gallery will allow you to view, delete, and organize your pictures. There is not a built in image editor, so you will have to move your photos to a computer. A video player is also absent from the U808.
There is some solid music file support on the U808. You can listen to MP3, MIDI, IMY, AMR, and WAV files. You will need to load your music onto a T-Flash memory card in order to do this. For some reason, Gfive has decided to put a T-Flash slot versus the more popular microSD card. The expandable memory allows you to add up to 2 GB of memory. An FM radio player will allow you to tune into your favourite station. The visual radio interface gives the FM radio a nice look.
A 3.0 MP camera can put out a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. You are able to zoom with the camera. Images themselves turn out adequate.
This device can hop on a GSM network. If you want to transfer files from the U808 onto another device, you can do so either via USB 2.0 or Bluetooth 2.0 support. There is no built-in Wi-fi support.
Productivity features include a unit change, currency exchange, world time, schedule, calculator, calendar, and a stopwatch.
To access the internet, you can use the WAP 2.0 browser.
There is not a native GPS feature on the U808.
The U808 has a talk time of up to 3 hours. Overall, the U808 is a mediocre device with just average features. There are other options out there that can give you a better experience.
