 Innostream INNO 50 is announced in 2004
Design
Innostream INNO 50 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 88 x 44 x 22 mm in size and weighing 98 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 96 pixel, display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The incredible 262,144 colors display is so bright and colorful, and provide more real colors of pictures and 3D images.The display resolution 176 x 220 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 Innostream handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The INNO 50 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Innostream handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the INNO 50 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the INNO 50 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 0 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Innostream INNO 50.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the INNO 50, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the INNO 50 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 830 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 6 hours talk time or 200 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 124 minutes.
Availability
The Innostream INNO 50 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Innostream INNO 50 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Innostream design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
