 Philips Ozeo is announced in 2000
Design
Philips's Ozeo - one of few models from Philips featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Philips Ozeo is heavy and little big handset at 109 x 44 x 22 mm and 128 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 65 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 Ozeo'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 Ozeo 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 Ozeo 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 simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Philips Ozeo has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Ozeo was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 900 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 300 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 135 minutes.
Availability
The Philips Ozeo is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips Ozeo 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. |
