 NEC e232 is announced in 2003
Design
NEC's e232 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 43 x 85 x 22 mm and 93 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.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 160 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.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the e232'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 e232 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 NEC handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
In the WAN department, the e232 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, a voice recorder, 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 e232 is also equipped with a 0.1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the e232 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3.5 hours talk time or 220 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The NEC e232 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
NEC e232 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. |
