 Philips Fizz is announced in 1996
Design
Philips's Fizz has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 60 x 162 x 17 mm and a heavy 169 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.The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 12 x 3 chars 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 Fizz'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 Fizz 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 Philips handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
Single band 900 MHz connectivity isn't all the Philips Fizz has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, .GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Fizz was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Philips Fizz is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips Fizz 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. |
