 Philips 362 is announced in 2005
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Philips has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Philips 362 is a very slender and compact handset at 45 x 100 x 18 mm and 83 grams. 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 Philips 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.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Philips handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The 362 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 Philips 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 362's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Philips 362 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 16-channels polyphony, voice commands, a voice recorder, 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.
As previously mentioned, the 362 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the 362 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 750 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 6 hours talk time or 400 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 112 minutes.
Availability
The Philips 362 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips's 362 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. |
