 Bird 150 is announced in 2004
Design
The Bird 150 is a compact clamshell phone. Measures 87 x 43 x 23 mm in size and weighing 86 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 64 x 48 pixel, 2 display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 160 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Bird handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The 150 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Bird handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Bird 150 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 2.0, 40-channels polyphony, FAX/Modem, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the 150 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the 150 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 750 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 70 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 112 minutes.
Availability
The Bird 150 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Bird's 150 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Bird. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
