 Philips Xenium 9@9i is announced in 2005
Design
Philips's Xenium 9@9i is a typical clamshell design. Measures 46 x 89 x 25 mm in size and weighing 104 grams, it is not light but feels very slender despite its size.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 Xenium 9@9i 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 very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the Xenium 9@9i boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, 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 Xenium 9@9i is also equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and when it comes to storage the Xenium 9@9i offers 20 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the Xenium 9@9i was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1100 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 8 30 hours talk time or 720 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 165 minutes.
Availability
The Philips Xenium 9@9i is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Philips Xenium 9@9i 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. |
