 Maxon MX-3204 is announced in 1999
Design
Maxon's MX-3204 - one of few models from Maxon featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Maxon MX-3204 is very heavy and too big handset at 131 x 45 x 21 mm and 170 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 80 x 40 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class 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 MX-3204's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Maxon 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 MX-3204 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Maxon handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Maxon MX-3204 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Single band 900 MHz connectivity isn't all the Maxon MX-3204 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the MX-3204 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 2.3 hours talk time or 50 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 90 minutes.
Availability
The Maxon MX-3204 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Maxon MX-3204 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Maxon design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
