 Motorola Timeport 280 is announced in 2001
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the Timeport 280, Motorola has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the Motorola Timeport 280 is slender and not very compact handset at 106 x 47 x 18 mm and 104 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 128 x 100 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 Timeport 280 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.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 Timeport 280 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 joystick centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the Timeport 280 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , voice commands, FAX/Modem, 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,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Timeport 280 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 850 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 127 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola Timeport 280 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola Timeport 280 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. |
