 Soyea V6 is announced in 2003
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Soyea has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Soyea V6 is a very slender and compact handset at 85 x 43 x 21 mm and 85 grams. 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 Soyea 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.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the V6's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Soyea 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 V6 lies well in ones hand.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 Soyea 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 Soyea V6 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 four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Soyea V6 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , 32-channels polyphony, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the V6 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the V6 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 96 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 90 minutes.
Availability
The Soyea V6 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Soyea's V6 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Soyea. 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. |
