 NEC e122 is announced in 2005
Design
The classic style of NEC design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 90 g and measuring 43 x 102 x 18 mm, the e122 is petite and relatively lightweight. A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent NEC models.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
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 NEC handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The e122 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.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 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 e122's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the e122 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 40-channels polyphony, 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.
As previously mentioned, the e122 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the e122 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 720 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 108 minutes.
Availability
The NEC e122 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
NEC's e122 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from NEC. 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. |
