Updated USEB review grade system
Posted by Michell | July 27th, 2008 | 19 views 
Last night I got the crazy idea of upgrading our review grade system. Crazy because it meant I had to stay up till 3.00 - 3.30 AM in the morning to write most of the codes used, and make sure everything was working just fine in all browsers.
I know that our previous grade system wasn’t exactly the best, and the scores may have been a bit unfair or unexplained because of that. Hopefully, this shouldn’t be the case any more with the new one. The new system consists of no less than 43 factors, that will all have an influence on the final grade, now dubbed USEB Score, which will be given in percent, and displayed with a very brief comment below. Each grade category represents a set of factors, that will be displayed, if you press the category title. If you don’t need the additional info about the grades, everything is nicely hidden.
To make things a bit more interesting, we’ve also added space for SPMark 06 Java benchmark scores, so everyone can see how the phones perform. This is where we need your help! For rather obvious reasons, it’s impossible for us to add SPMark 06 Java scores for all of the reviewed phones. If you can run a full benchmark on one of the below listed phones, please post your results in a comment below, and we’ll add your scores to our review. The phones are;
- C702
- C902
- G700
- K660
- P1
- W380
- W760
- W890
- Z770
If you want to help us out, but haven’t got the application installed, it can be downloaded for free, right here. Thanks in advance.
We will start updating the previous large-scaled reviews today, starting with the W760 review.

-Fillrate: 924KTexels/s
-Polygon: 31kVertices/s
-PNG score: 68
-JVM score: invaild????
Thanks, #1.
With those results it looks like something went wrong during the test, or the phone was working on something else. Nonetheless, I have added the scores that was missing, but please do try to run the benchmark again without touching it for approx. 10 minutes. I’m sure you’ll get a better result.

Thank you very much. Did you get a total score?
Edit, no need. Found the missing scores in a review from work.
9:26 pm on 7/27/08On a side note, the benchmark might abort when the phone goes in standby. Avoid that by pressing “C” from time to time.
