 Trium Sirius is announced in 2001
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Trium has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Trium Sirius is a very slender and compact handset at 104 x 53 x 22 mm and 75 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 Sirius'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 Sirius is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.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 Sirius's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Trium Sirius has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Loud Speaker, 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,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Sirius was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 120 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Trium Sirius is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Trium's Sirius is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Trium. 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. |
