 Sharp V801SH is announced in 2004
Design
Sharp's V801SH is a typical clamshell design. Measures 102 x 50 x 26 mm in size and weighing 126 grams, it is not light but feels very slender despite its size.A secound 48 x 80 pixel, 256 STN display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The incredible 262,144 colors display is so bright and colorful, and provide more real colors of pictures and 3D images.The display resolution 240 x 320 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 Sharp handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The V801SH 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 Sharp handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, 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
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Sharp V801SH has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 2.0, a voice recorder, 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 V801SH is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 3 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The V801SH also comes with an Secure Digital (SD) and Multi Media Card (MMC) expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory, MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Sharp V801SH.
Performance
Audio quality on the V801SH was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 220 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Sharp V801SH is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Sharp V801SH is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Sharp design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
