 Philips 330 is announced in 2003
Design
The Philips 330 is a compact clamshell phone. Measures 79 x 43 x 18 mm in size and weighing 78 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 101 x 80 pixel is not very high but is normal for small phone like this.
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 330's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Philips 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 330 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Philips handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.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 Philips 330 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, 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 330 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 570 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4.3 hours talk time or 400 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 85 minutes.
Availability
The Philips 330 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips's 330 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Philips. 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. |
