 Philips Fisio 312 is announced in 2001
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the Fisio 312, Philips has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the Philips Fisio 312 is slender and not very compact handset at 106 x 47 x 18 mm and 109 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 64 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class 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 Fisio 312'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 Fisio 312 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.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 Philips handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Philips Fisio 312 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.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 Fisio 312 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , 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 Fisio 312 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 800 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 120 minutes.
Availability
The Philips Fisio 312 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips Fisio 312 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Philips design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
