 Telit C1000 is announced in 2005
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Telit has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Telit C1000 is a very slender and compact handset at 48 x 86 x 15 mm and 74 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.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.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Telit handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The C1000 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 Telit handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, 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 C1000's knack for quirky keypads.The most notable trait of the C1000 is of course the way in which it expands from an ordinary mobile phone with a numeric keypad to a fully fledged messaging device with a QWERTY keyboard.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Telit C1000 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, 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 C1000 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and when it comes to storage the C1000 offers 5 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the C1000 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 100 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Telit C1000 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Telit's C1000 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Telit. 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. |
