 Trium Neptune is announced in 2000
Design
Trium's Neptune - one of few models from Trium featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Trium Neptune is heavy and little big handset at 120 x 50 x 28 mm and 120 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 64 pixel 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 Neptune's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Trium 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 Neptune 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 Trium 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 Neptune's knack for quirky keypads.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 Trium Neptune has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Neptune was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 800 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 130 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 120 minutes.
Availability
The Trium Neptune is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Trium Neptune is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Trium design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
