 Lenovo G880 is announced in 2003
Design
The Lenovo G880 is a compact clamshell phone. Measures 82 x 42 x 21 mm in size and weighing 76 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 48 pixel, 256 STN 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.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the G880's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Lenovo handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The G880 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Lenovo 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 five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Lenovo G880 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 1.0, 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..
Performance
Audio quality on the G880 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 650 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2.3 hours talk time or 80 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 97 minutes.
Availability
The Lenovo G880 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Lenovo's G880 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Lenovo. 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. |
