 Samsung P710 is announced in 2004
Design
Samsung P710 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 80 x 47 x 22 mm in size and weighing 90 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 64 pixel, 256 STN display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.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 Samsung 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 Samsung handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The P710 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Samsung handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the P710 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , 40-channels polyphony, FAX/Modem, 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 P710 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the P710 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh NI-Cd battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 150 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Samsung P710 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Samsung's P710 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Samsung. 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. |
