 SonyEricsson K608 is announced in 2005
Design
The latter quickly became immensely popular and also the manufacturer's flagship, but with the advent of the K608, SonyEricsson has finally entrenched itself as an important player in the market for experienced users, the SonyEricsson K608 is slender and not very compact handset at 45 x 105 x 18 mm and 105 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 176 x 220 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 SonyEricsson handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The K608 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent SonyEricsson 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.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering K608's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the K608 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, 72-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 K608 is also equipped with a 1.3 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 32 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the SonyEricsson K608.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the K608, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the K608 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 900 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 8 hours talk time or 370 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 135 minutes.
Availability
The SonyEricsson K608 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
SonyEricsson K608 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical SonyEricsson design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
