 VKMobile VK1020 is announced in 2005
Design
VKMobile VK1020 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 44 x 76 x 23 mm in size and weighing 94 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.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 VKMobile models.The display resolution 128 x 143 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 VKMobile handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The VK1020 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 VKMobile handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the VK1020 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as 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 infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the VK1020 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 0 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the VK1020, 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 VK1020 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The VKMobile VK1020 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
VKMobile VK1020 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical VKMobile design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
