 Siemens A35 is announced in 2000
Design
Siemens's A35 - one of few models from Siemens featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Siemens A35 is heavy and little big handset at 118 x 46 x 28 mm and 122 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 2 x 16 chars 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 A35's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Siemens 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 A35 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Siemens 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 Siemens A35 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
In the WAN department, the A35 boasts healthy support for Dual band 900/1900 MHz, as well as SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the A35 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh NI-MH 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 90 minutes.
Availability
The Siemens A35 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Siemens A35 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Siemens design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
