 Motorola E1000 is announced in 2004
Design
Motorola's E1000 - one of few models from Motorola featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Motorola E1000 is heavy and little big handset at 114 x 52 x 23 mm and 140 grams. The incredible 262,144 colors display is so bright and colorful, and provide more real colors of pictures and 3D images.The display resolution 240 x 320 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 Motorola handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The E1000 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Motorola handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering E1000's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the E1000 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, voice commands, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the E1000 is also equipped with a 1.3 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 Motorola E1000.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the E1000, 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 E1000 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 820 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 7 hours talk time or 240 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 122 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola E1000 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola E1000 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Motorola design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
