 Siemens SX66 is announced in 2004
Design
Siemens's SX66 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 71 x 125 x 18 mm and a heavy 210 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.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 Siemens models.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Siemens handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The SX66 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 Siemens handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.What's more, the P910i frustratingly flops all around the place when using both thumbs to enter text, yielding a usability level best suited to very short messages. Thankfully, it's still possible to detach the flip entirely for those who prefer fully touch-based interaction.
Features
In the WAN department, the SX66 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 40-channels polyphony, 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,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the SX66 is also equipped with , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 128 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The SX66 also comes with an Secure Digital + device support (SDIO) 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,
Performance
Audio quality on the SX66 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 200 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Siemens SX66 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Siemens SX66 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. |
