Nokia 6500 classic

by mphone @ 2007-11-04 - 20:19:31



The base color is black apparatus. It is in this version of it will appear in Russia in July-August 2007 year. Subsequently, it podtyanetsya bronze and other colors (likely to be somewhat). Plus everything will be supplied to individual accessory battery lid, as it is flat and takes up most of the surface craft, it is convenient kastomizirovat - razrisovyvat, do engraving, etc. Per this will be to buy a few kryshechek razrisovat and their different life experiences. Replace the cover, and before you another phone. Here are just lid was very difficult: it is forcibly pulled her plastic surface slippery, no latches or not, have to put on under the cover fingernail or as Push be at the center, says that over the finger surface. At the beginning, it is almost impossible to open the phone, times of the Tenth still takes its experience. Foresee how nevzlyubyat prodavtsy-konsultanty this model, especially if the buyer after another demonstration of the phone will be broken with a lid that predictably, it is not metal and plastic normal.

Phone unusually thin for Nokia-ever, we have not seen such an elegant solution from the Finns. Even Nokia 6300 compared with 6500 classic-ungainly Cauwenbergh. Judge for yourselves: the thickness of first - 13.1 mm, the second-only 9.5 mm. But the compact is not new - it seems really thin and not particularly broad, but its length is beyond the scope of the mean value (almost 110 mm). Yes, and weight (94 grams) not be called small. Unlike the Nokia 6300, which cover is made of metal, the plastic novelties it. The design is such that the cover is not only seizes the rear, but the front part, so it seems that all of the phone is made of plastic. In reality, frame tubes made of anodised aluminum, but as neither Take tube in the arm, still natykaeshsya on plastic. Moreover, the metal painted in the color of the cover, which further creates the illusion of plastic.

Despite the fact that the apparatus of rectangular shape, nowhere direct angles you will not find is that they are all smooth as possible. It is especially noticeable when one looks at the tube top. This increases the ergonomics-phone kept in the hands of pleasure. But after the widely used plastic soft-tach corpus 6500 classic feel slippery. But no fingerprints on the phone, it is left with no need mopping or otherwise care for them. The body is very practical, excellent build quality-nothing skripit not lyuftit.

Like the Nokia 6300, calculated on the new business class. But we think colors 6300 more suited for business people, it's a combination of a solid black and silver, "open" metal. Nokia 6500 classic uniform in all changed, it is "deshevit." Besides not be hindered "to bare" metal that black colors smotrelos option would be the most impressive. In Nokia 6500 classic, we found only one more or less interesting design move: as a part of the faceplate is divided into two equal parts, both are surrounded the perimeter of a rectangular silver box. The upper halves - screen, the bottom-keyboard. A little silver psevdometallicheskie revive looks pasted on buttons and navigation keys, but they are visible only on a black background, on the bronze they lost. And in general, we think black will enjoy the greatest demand.

Keyboard phone handy, criticism of it we do not. All of the buttons (except "navigatsionki") are made of transparent plastic, pleasant to the touch. Hits clear, with excellent perceived benefit. What's interesting: from the digital buttons nazhimayutsya those places where bear the symbols, that is, to have these numbers and not on the speakers silver caps, these elements made only for the recognition tactile buttons. Since soft-knopkami keys, and "Taps" / "Admission" no problems. Visually last two buttons and keys "2" are merged into one button, the convenience of this design element does not affect well-buttons nazhimayutsya separately. "Navigatsionka" and inscribed it in the "OK" excellent, clear.

Very upset us unless additional side buttons: without them biznes-apparat not perceived, and the surface looked "lysoy", the effect is enhanced so that the connector in one apparatus and headphones, and chargers, and cables. As a result, because there is no end "primochek Nokia 6500 classic machine looks like a middle class, the effect reinforces plastic, which is made from the battery lid. Even habitual no-anywhere switch this function has assumed the "Place a tube." Incidentally, this is a trend in many recent models (Nokia 8600 Luna, Nokia 6500 slide, etc.). A pity-breakers have always been branded Nokia stroke. Some manufacturers, such as Samsung, the model U600 contrast, the use of separate knopochki for on / off, but somehow increasingly Nokia revises its tradition.
In phone connector used only one-and chargers, and cables and headphones. And he did not miniUSB and microUSB format. Only Nokia became a move to universal format miniUSB as pereskochila immediately to a new and quite yet malopopulyarny microUSB. Such haste could not alert, if miniUSB cable can be purchased at any computer store rubles per 100, it is still in microUSB fancy. Well that is, in the cable bundle. As we see it, Nokia is excited to transfer to microUSB - miniUSB had not yet exhausted all its possibilities, it will be popular a few years. Of course, a leaner and more modern microUSB will sooner or later become popular, the same he used a catch, reducing the risk of "vyvalivaniya" of the connector plug, but the standard has only just at the beginning of my journey. With regard to cell phones, few models of individual producers (such as Samsung and Motorola) connector fitted with such a format, and for the unconditional leadership miniUSB.

It must be said that the device supports the Mass Storage mode, that is, with the wire connecting to a PC entire gigabyte phone contents is defined as an external PC drive. Loading and unloading music photos not take a long time-tube supports high-speed standard USB 2.0

To use Bluetooth wireless connections, it supports including wireless connectivity stereonaushnikov (for a list of all supported profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, DUN, FTP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, OPP, SAP, SDAP, SDP, SPP). In infrared apparatus not, but he would not biznes-trubke prevented.


 
 

Samsung SGH-D900

by mphone @ 2007-11-04 - 20:10:31



Dimensions compared with the predecessor Samsung SGH-D900, little has changed - 103.2 x49, 3x10, 9 mm against 103.5x51x12.9 mm. At a couple of millimeters in width and thickness decreased. But significantly reworked design: phone gave light wave shape and the characteristic rounded lines. Even more charm attached mirror design front panel, but it rubs frightening, and at the hands of the opening / closing slider, and on the cheek during a conversation. This is perhaps the most weakness in the phone-it has to be constantly mopping.

The basic color of the shell (in our version, it is) something in between black and dark, in the terminology of the producer - "sapfirovo-siny." Also promise to be granatovo-krasnogo options, colors and color platinovo-metallicheskogo ace of hearts of gold (see photo). The body is made of plastic, a simple, without anything, but the quality of the assembly at the height: avtodovodki mechanism does its work qualitatively, fixing bar at the extreme positions clear, not lyuftit battery lid. To replace the SIM card needs to be moved up the cover and then get the battery. Simka zadvigaetsya itself easily to your slot. Thanks to a thin shell (11 mm), the tube can be anywhere without any inconvenience, even obtyagivayuschih jeans.
Digital keyboard made of a thin metal plate with horizontal separators. Such borrowing down for Samsung (recall that for the first time such a scheme has used Motorola RAZR line, and then the idea of sterilization and other producers). Moreover, the keyboard seemed to us so comfortable that the negatives of plagiarism razveyalsya quickly.

Navigation unit is located on the upper half and slider consists of the round "navigatsionki" inscribed with the keys and confirmation located around soft-knopok and sensory reception and the sort keys. And yet poprobuesh these buttons, it seems that they are the most conventional, mechanical. Convenience sensory keys everyone must identify itself: Some used to it quickly, but someone does, and can not use them. We rather liked the button - situations with the "failure" was almost not. But sometimes accidentally zadevaesh button lobby is disappointing, though, in most cases, the horror does not happen: for example, if in recruitment would not kazus SMS, the phone are asked to confirm the lifting of care.

Navigational buttons in the usual Samsung, mechanical, it claims there is. Incidentally, the soft-knopok and buttons priema-otboya different sensors - last react only to touch fingers and soft-knopki light work of pushing any object.

During the call button and sensory "navigatsionka" blocked before pressing the central button to prevent accidental actuation buttons against contact with a person. In other cases, blocking / unlock are carried out using the buttons to switch off the phone, located on the upper end.
The Chamber has permission to 3.2 Mp and equipped avtofokusom. Filming activated retention side keys, with the sliders must be in a position opened, as well as a module for fixed camera hidden part of the phone. Button chamber has two provisions in polunazhatii happening focus, with full-clicked survey. On small distances LED outbreak helps, but in total darkness further meter it is not "beat".

On camera is the best quality among samsungov test at the time of writing (May 2007). For actual resolve it loses market leader, and yet motor and high resolution images allow them to send print format of 10 x15 cm-quite satisfied with the result priveredlivogo user.

MP3- player has received a full music library-sorting tracks for artist, genre, album reviews, or often display last AVI files. Supported background, EQ (classical, jazz, rock), the regime 3D- sound (program, the dynamics in a phone). An interesting feature is an opportunity to connect at once-two wireless stereo-garnitur.
Of note interesting applications: Advanced Search is on the menu at the same time, files, message addressees, events calendar, games, the telephone book, the journal of calls. Photo-imposition of filters and effects, can be found around 50 different roles, including the setting of brightness, contrast, color hue, Auto, adding another image, frame or text, rotate and mirror image. Overlay images separately pronounced effect mixing of two images, in contrast to the photo editor, is low practical value.
