 NEC DB7000 is announced in 2001
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the DB7000, NEC has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the NEC DB7000 is slender and not very compact handset at 94 x 50 x 26 mm and 104 grams. The 256-color display unfortunately suffers from a very grainy appearance. The grainyness is not a problem when displaying text, however, just images - and due to the DB7000 first and foremost being a color phone, this is less of a problem than it could have been.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 DB7000's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all NEC 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 DB7000 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent NEC handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, 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 DB7000's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the NEC DB7000 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , 16-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 DB7000 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 200 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The NEC DB7000 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
NEC DB7000 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical NEC design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
