 Motorola E360 is announced in 2003
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Motorola has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Motorola E360 is a very slender and compact handset at 115 x 44 x 20 mm and 85 grams. The 4096-color display is dim, not very bright and crisp, but is a far step above the very dim 256-color versions on even the most recent Motorola models.The display resolution 128 x 96 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.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 E360 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Motorola 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 Motorola E360 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 five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Motorola E360 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 1.0, 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 E360 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 6 hours talk time or 150 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 90 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola E360 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola's E360 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Motorola. 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. |
