The company is conducting an advertising campaign of Samsung mobile phones in 2006 under the auspices of “even thinner.” Among the devices Ultra Thin mansion worth i320 smartphone. First, because it is based on the smartphone Windows Mobile for Smartphone Edition, secondly, it first among the “thin” at WM units a full keyboard. And, finally, the announcement that the first model was made in the CIS countries. Therefore, a novelty - the closest attention.

Complete

Telephone, two rechargeable batteries, charger and a desktop charger for the battery, a stereo, CD with software, USB cable, directions for use. The presence of complete delivery of two batteries significantly increases working time autonomous devices. It is the second battery can recharge from a desktop device. The obvious drawback of standard package is the lack of a memory card, but for individual regions, it may be present.

Appearance

Phone is made of black plastic, well conceals fingerprints. The rest fairly impressive size (111×59 mm). Such an increase in the width of the shell, we have seen in the smartphone Nokia E61. It is due to the need to deploy a full-QWERTY keyboard. Q decorative elements include silver box at the top of the front panel, under the manufacturer’s logo screen and silver trim same navigational keys. This solution makes phone strict and presentable. In the upper right-hand corner of the device is abalone on the phone to wear wrist. At the back of a special plastic box lens is 1.3 - megapixel camera. At the top of the lens aperture is present outbreak. On the left and right of the box are two basic dynamics and the connector for connecting external antenna. The thickness of a few millimeters inserts increases the overall thickness of the device. Under the lid on it with a written logo are lithium-ion battery slot for a SIM card and theoretically can be replaced without extraction battery. Construction slots for flash cards are not so successful. It is not entirely clear, forcing developers to make in the end of the battery connector.

That decision makes it impossible to replace the hot memory card. To extract the battery also had to get. The phone standard used microSD / TransFlash, which is becoming increasingly popular due to their small size and an impressive capacity. Concluding the story of the internal compartment of the phone, note that smartphone fully supports the regime organizers, but is able to work and in the absence of SIM cards. At the front of the device is QVGA display with a resolution of 240×320 pixels (2.2 inches diagonal), and support for 262,000 colors. The ratio differs from the usual parties to WM-smartphones. 320 points are displayed on the width of the phone. This is due to the structural features of the wide body. A similar decision we saw in the staff and Nokia E61. Such non-standard (back), the screen resolution requires the adaptation of software that developers should take into account when issuing new versions. The quality of the display apparatus in the spirit of the best Samsung - the image is very full and bright with good angles review. Above the display is another earpiece for playback voice in the call and scoring system event. Bottom of the display unit located buttons and the QWERTY keyboard. Standard Lights Out and call buttons placed at the edges of the device. Soft-keys and dvuhpozitsionnye are like swings. On the left soft key functions involved and Home Start, right - Contacts and Return to the previous window.

At the heart of software is trapezoidal buttons navigational key, with the OK button on the center. In standby mode, it causes a media. At the movement involved a challenge to the navigation keys separate functions. They can be configured. Size-key QWERTY keyboard is very small - they have the most to press fingertip. That amount does not cause all the necessary keys to the characters, so depending on the region of delivery at the keyboard before it either English or alphabet localization. The developers gave the keys apparatus cone shape. On the one hand, this has placed Button additional characters (numbers, punctuation, etc.). The flip side of such a decision was even greater reduction in the surface of the keys useful. The general conclusion accustomed to the keyboard long enough will. You can dial into SMS text messages rather confidently. To switch to a set of numbers and symbols on the keyboard are special keys (analog Shift and Caps Lock). To simplify the recruitment figures alphabetic keys are grouped in clusters of two. You can click on any of them. Keys Canberra clearly and fairly softly. Tactile navigation, in our view, is absolutely impossible, because the keys are too small, and the transitions between them side felt bad. For people with large fingers will be at all difficult to manage through a telephone keypad. Lights bright white keyboard. When the backlight all printed on the keyboard characters become very apparent. On the left are the verge phone volume control keys. Long hitting any of the keys involves outbreak, the phone can be used as a miniature flashlight. On the right side are the connectors to connect the headset and charger. In slot charger plugs and cables for synchronization. They are covered by special plastic “doors”. Here are the same key is the camera button and switch modes apparatus. Last Long pressing the keypad locks.

Menu

By pressing the Start button menu offers standard phone. Menu items rigidly fixed, they can not change. Icons to access the applications on the screen is placed eight: four each in two series. A bit unusual that when moving laterally through menu items using the cursor keys navigational not proceed in the lower (upper) number - for such a transition will require additional pressing down. Icons represent the standard for the Windows Mobile badges, which are well recognized. Font menu is visible, too, very well: the contrast of the display at the highest level. Detailed descriptions of menu items completely inappropriate in view of standardness, so only briefly describe the available items:

Messages - a standard for creating SMS, MMS and e-mail addresses. Supported T9 predictive text input. Limitations on the number of messages not - uses all available memory.

Contacts. The structure of the phone book entirely consistent with Microsoft Outlook. As the categories are only four types: Business, Holiday, Personal, and Seasonal. Each contact can assign a personalized music and image. Not quite successful need to switch keyboard in the digital set when entering phone numbers. For the user, it would be easier if such a transition place automatically when changing the text box. As a result, for each subscriber line available 54 to make the necessary information including addresses and data recording in the type of service ICQ.

Organizer. There are alarm clock, calendar, tasks, functions of D-day, world time and Dictaphone. You can individually adjust the five alarms, one of which is a function Wake up. Otherwise, application of this standard menu item for the system. Additional reminders can be set through the calendar of events and party software. Of the whole range of applications is not entirely normal utility D-day. It allows you to set the date and category of upcoming events and to include his annual repetition. You can ask four days at the same time, pointing startup, its repetition (alarm clock will be without reminding myself included at a set time each day, weekends or only every Sunday), and repeating the call in a specified time (from 10 minutes to 2 hours). The calendar, as I wrote, you can choose this type of calendar, which want. In total there are two types of menus. If you have any plans, you can add them to your calendar by entering the appropriate number, and the next calendar viewer will see this note. This function allows the D-day to create another note, stating the date and priority (with 9 regulations). You can also turn on or off the possibility of repetition of the notes. At dictaphone conversation can be recorded or something else without limitation of time. Quality of recording excellent. You can write a clear voice, even if talk of 5-10 metres away. World Clock displays the time in various locations around the globe. This will be convenient for people who frequently traveling abroad.

Journal calls. Standard option that includes all the Missed, and dialed numbers. By selecting one of the rooms can be added to E-mail. Or you can set up a filter calls: incoming, outgoing and missed. Allows you to move directly to a set of numbers. Internet. Includes Internet Explorer, Pocket MSN, and the WAP Browser. Pocket MSN includes a standard-messenger MSN Messenger, Hotmail servers tab.

Windows Media. Standard player, which can play music and video. You can create your own playlists.

Settings

Options are divided into 16 items:

1. Phone. Here you select the type of connection: GSM 900, 1800, 1900. Upon request can put a feature in which a phone signal will be in recruiting numbers.
2. Sounds manager. To select alarm calls, with the possibility of editing.
3. Profiles. You can select the required mode call.
4. Home screen. To select on the screen saver.
5. To lock and alarm. Setting time zone and format display date / time.
6. Connections. For settings protocols GPRS and VPN connections.
7. USB. The phone supports Mass Storage mode, which allows using the memory card as an external drive. Synchronization and exchange data with PCs made in the mode Synchronization.
8. Security. Standard security settings and change the PIN codes.
9. Remove programs. The application for deinstallation installed programs.
10. Power management. Power apparatus, and backlight brightness adjustment of the display and all the attributes associated energy. 11. Accessibility. Configuring the system fonts, and the influence of the duration of their keyboard functionality.
12. Regional settings. Regional preferences. Depending on the version of firmware customizable interface language.
Paragraphs 13-16 settings include personal data and information on the device.

Bluetooth

In the device supports A2DP profile, which allows display on a wireless stereo headset? Supported packet data transmission.

Camera

Phone is 1.3 - megapixels camera, allowing withdraw as photos, and videos with sound. Photographed it in three modes: a snapshot (with a maximum resolution 1280×1024), Mosaic (the same 320×340). Also, the camera has a mode for self, which can be set necessary time delay. While Mosaic apparatus provides 4 or 9 pictures at 2×2 or 3×3 matrix. Pictures are taken independently and together in a common picture. In normal image available permits four cameras: 1280×1024, 640×480, 320×240 and 176×144. Supported effects: black-and-white filming, sepia and negative, that is, in the yellow color. When shooting video available only two types of permits: 320×240 and 176×144. The camera records clips in a format MPEG4 and 3gp. Photos made in the maximum authorization, as well look on the screen smartphone, and on a large monitor. To print on paper clearly маловато permit cameras. The phone has two games: Bubble breaker, and the traditional “Spider”. You can install additional applications - no restrictions on their size do not. Suffice important are the Utilities menu. There’s the manager of the SIM card, applications manager, equalizer and other stuff. In paragraph Accessories include a calculator, manager, built-in modem, converter values and stopwatch.

Impressions

Width and strict design phone rather suggest menswear audience, while a thin shell and the small size of the keys are ideal for a beautiful half. Q will have to adapt the keyboard long enough, but if you use the telephone constantly, too many difficulties it is (if not take into account the difficulties in recruiting blind). A large amount of internal memory (128 MB) makes quite comfortable working with the applications installed in main memory. For the most severe cases will have to buy a memory card. It would require, and may wish to use the smartphone as mp3 player. Phone is not positioned as a replacement mp3 player, but to listen to music with the help of no one prevents you. These contributed enough and powerful stereo speakers. Moreover, the sound can be transferred to a wireless headset with virtually no loss of quality. A significant drawback is the only proprietary connector for headsets - a standard mini-jackpot would have been much more appropriate. The proposed firm decision you have to be satisfied with the attached headset, sound quality which is not a higher class. Of the non-standard applications of interest Picsel Viewer to work with office documents without installing additional software. In this picture on the screen is scaled correctly. However, fairness, we note that a similar application was successfully tested in the earlier apparatus of the company and a very good track record.

Excellent realized address book. The number of contacts it is not limited, and the number of fields for each record to create a powerful database of subscribers, registered on the list. Suffice it to say that only the number of phones that can be made for one record, just ten. Thought and the possibility of extending the time an autonomous work. A second battery will have a very witty, if you are far away from sources of electricity. Phone has no problems with the quality of the assembly - all the details fit tightly. This too is a kind of calling card manufacturer. For more attractive model gives an unusual design, which resembles the machines remotely RIM (Blackberry). The most serious shortcoming is the lack of support apparatus Wi-Fi.

To date, the phone does not have analogs as part of its platform. Theoretically, it can only competitor Motorola Moto Q, whose release date for GSM market is constantly delayed. In dry balance, we have a standard set of functional platform WM 5.0 plus remember unusual design. Many users of this would be sufficient.

At the mobile market company Samsung has come relatively recently, but has managed to enter the top three leaders as sales, and production of the widest range of models. And if the company’s efforts were initially focused on the release of expensive image products, then later spread its interests and the business sector to sector and budgetary decisions. Until recently, the only area of “smart” devices excluded from the interests of the company. Led off at last year’s CeBIT exhibition - - It has been demonstrated in several vehicles. And in a series D smartphones hit on the operating system Symbian. Mansion stood a new machine based on the Windows Mobile operating system, received index i300. At the time, this was a revolutionary decision smartphone - for the first time in the history of the information used to store 3 GB hard disk. A little later, it was demonstrated on the phone held in Moscow in May 2005 Expocomm exhibition “2005″. It was assumed that apparatus will be built on has not yet officially released the new version of OS Windows Mobile “Magneto”, which by the time of its official release was named WM 5.0. Before the official selling phone in a little less than a year has passed. A close acquaintance with the device revealed several interesting features.

Complete

I am going to the alleged option, based on the experience of similar class supply devices from other manufacturers. They come in addition to the phone must be included charger, TransFlash memory card standard (microSD), a wireless stereo, necessarily - cradle or cable date. The last condition is especially necessary - non-standard connector on the phone and the usual format miniUSB cable in this case is indispensable. You may also want to drive, and software - it would require, at a minimum, to install drivers IR port. It would be interesting to compare the actual filling boxes with telephone with the alleged option.

Appearance

Phone is a monoblock, a projection which forms a parallelogram on the plane. The basic color of Packaging Machinery black and the upper side brink of the back cover of steel color. The size of the front panel of the phone almost identical Nokia N90, but the thickness i300 smartphone markedly lower. The display panel occupies the top half, but it seems not very large - - edges of the side panels separating his 7 mm. Even more free space to the brink of the top - - 10 mm. Be fair to mention that in this interval is located earpiece and LED. The screen supports permission QVGA (320 х240 points), and displays 262 thousand colors. Q quality matrix any claims no - - screen does not fade even under the direct rays of the sun. However, Samsung was always famous for the quality of the display, so that probably caused a surprise screen.

Keyboard block deserves careful consideration. As a joystick used wheel, the button is the center of his confirmation. Application rotation with the movements of the menus is very convenient when scanning folders with a large number of files - - quite a few revolutions. In addition to such treatment is available and the usual - supports horizontal and vertical movement. Ultimately wheel rotation provides the following steps: vertical displacement on the menu, any movement on the list (the compositions, contacts), the sound volume, the camera zoom, scroll pages of the Internet. These design navigational keys predetermined location software buttons. The four conventional added two more located symmetrically on opposite sides wheel. On the left is a button return to the main menu, right - button to go one level up. For digital keys very few places left, but their design is perfectly accurate and verified. The lower edge of each button removed, creating a tactile sensation of lightning. Therefore, the transition between the keys is very accurate and does not cause any problems with the positioning of the finger, even with the blind set. Lights keyboard uniform bloc, to the best of bright - - font reads well. Also conceived ergonomic details - - highlighting key extinguished before the main screen.

Traditionally, users of smartphones without qwerty keyboards are dissatisfied with the convenience controls. The company Samsung has decided to show the example of a kind and made to the side verge maximum number of control buttons. At the left bottom to top are two buttons adjust the volume, button voice recorder, which in a matter of keeping the voice box administration. At the very top of the window is to connect a headset, closed plastic plugs that one edge attached to the shell. Right brink also has a number of additional buttons. At the bottom is a window for memory cards, covered the door, which is also attached to the shell. Above is the camera button is activated, above it closer to the upper edge, the keypad buttons are and switching modes. Hold translates smartphone in the last regime organizer. At the bottom lies the verge communications connector, this same charger plugs. The design of the holder plugs slightly different from the already described. Stub fastened to the shell in the middle part. At the opening of the connector you can move down through the deployment of 180 ° o180. In the left corner is the microphone hole. On the brink of the top box located IR port and abalone for fastening strap. The design of the rear panel is quite original. The center at the top of the black plastic box located lens 1., 3 - megapixel camera, it is left of the mirror. On the edges of the back panel are located symmetrically in stereo speakers - - these musical highlights once again thrust the phone. A camera lens is to lift the latch battery. He combined with the rear lid. The holder of the SIM cards for ordinary, with the side anchorages. Quality assembly of the device at the highest level. Used in the construction of black and silver plastic, the entire details perfect fit. Phone fully justifies the impression solid apparatus; it is very convenient lies in the hand and is well balanced.

Specifications

The device is equipped with 64 MB of RAM, of which 51 are available, 50 Mb. The amount of available embedded Flash memory - - 18., 38 Mb, it is intended for the storage of the user’s data. The central processor - Intel XScale PXA272, the maximum frequency standard - - 416 MHz. There is good potential to disperse.

Hard disk

For the first time in the world in this class of devices, the company has used a hard drive volume 3 GB. This approach greatly expands the musical possibilities apparatus - - size disk can hold a lot of albums. When you access the disk, he tangibly “Posted”, the speed of access is acceptable level. However, the device itself is enough energy, and frequent recourse to the disk significantly reduces the time an autonomous work. Therefore, if there is no possibility of charging operational data store better in the phone memory or memory card. Energy consumed with substantially less.

Operating System

Despite the announcement, based on the model is based on a previous version of the operating system - Windows Mobile for Smartphone Edition 2003. Therefore, all applications developed under this version of the OS, and worked on the staff of i300. That is why the menu on the phone is fully consistent with the standard capabilities WM 2003 SE. The company only added a few utilities company intended to work with documents, photographs.

Access to the menu is carried out through the “Start” button, which is pegged left soft-key. Each window menu realized rapid transition between paragraphs on the basis of the numeric keys.

The main menu items

Contacts
The main feature of the address book is the presence of a large number of fields, which at the same time is fixed. In the contact 10 can enter phone numbers, a few e-mail addresses, and other personal information. Limitations in volume in the address book do not. Of the internal menu can be added to the list of quick phone call (and the list is composed of 97 fields), to send an SMS message, copy contact on the SIM card, etc. Any number from the list can be specified as a core. You can assign one of three categories: - business, personal or different, which are filtering. In general, the standard address book fairly easy, and fully satisfies even the experienced user. If you are not enough of standard functions, it is always possible to use third-party utilities - - operating system allows it to do easily.

Messages
Item consists of three types of messages: SMS, MMS and e-Mail. In an SMS message, you can insert text snippet contact. MMS supports the attachment of up to 300 Kb; enjoy convenient menu messages, all actions intuitively understandable.

Calendar
It is a typical tool for WM on properties closer to the maximum MS Outlook. Tip, you can specify any event, supported by sound reminders, repetitive events. There are weekly and monthly view. In general, for familiar with the use of a desktop version of the calendar is not any problem.

Journal calls submitted listing. Each calls, you can view details on the date and duration, make the call to the number, send a message. Supported by type of call filtering: - incoming, outgoing and missed.

Camera

The phone is installed. 1, 3 - megapixel camera with a CMOS-matrix, which, despite relatively low resolution, provides quite decent shots. Maximum permit photos of 1280 х1024. In addition to the authorization, the degree of compression can make the images: - Fine, Super Fine, Normal, Economy. The camera allows for the serial shooting, has several predefined effects (sepia, black-and-white snapshot, and a negative image). For registration photos can be used frame. Regulated as white balance, the treatment of the outbreak and the time delay timer operation. In the video recording mode can be adjusted finite size of movie (without limitation, restriction on MMS). Permission while recording video is 176×144. While working for the digital camera function attached buttons quick access. Impressions from the camera work of the most favorable. When shooting mode works translator, and it should be noted opportune algorithm digital zoom. When approaching the maximum image remains clear, sharpness is not lost.

Preferences

Fat menu item, which assembles the entire settings phone. Standard option, we will not deal, but on some specifics for wireless services will stop.

Bluetooth

In implementing Bluetooth built-used driver drivers superstructure with Microsoft for music via a Bluetooth stereo. Bluetooth has the following features: access to the Internet from a PC or PDA, OBEX - Transfer files (both on the device and the device), Serial port - - data synchronization.
When working with stereo Bluetooth stereo headset supports A2DP profile to refer to a wireless stereo headset. The most unpleasant aspect of this protocol has been unable to transfer files to another device in a batch mode. In a small number of files transferred this omission is not fatal, but when transferring large files process of sending each of them, accompanied by at least three clicks on the keys, quite tiring. Incidentally, this limitation of the operating system and installed the drivers.
Option Power Management enables watch battery charge and set the screen. The regional facilities listed localization device, the type of information on the withdrawal date, the time format - usually all here.

The phone supports USB mode mode, in which it by connecting to a PC is defined as an external drive (Mass Storage). Alternative mode - - ActiveSync - - allows you to install programs and synchronize the device with MS Outlook.
In the device is present Album to organize a slide show. Of Albom pictures and photos can also be sent to an external device to set the picture as the screensaver, reviewing files. As an additional option in favour of the properties of the image file. Shows the type, size, date of creation, and the folder in which it is located.

Policy differences from the standard player virtually none. In fact, it is the same utility with a slightly modified front end. This standard player also present. Among the options - playing files in the mode of “Shuffle”, change skins, support for streaming broadcasts.

In addition to staffing applications WM 2003, smartphone equipped with a number of corporate applications.
Picsel Viewer. This program for viewing Office documents become the standard for the mast Samsung products. It enables the program to display documents stored all formatting. Neither the built-in packet Office Mobile Window Mobile 5.0 or Documents To Go for Palm OS does not know how to display documents so correctly, as does Picsel Viewer. Using the joystick paper can be closer, scroll.
File Manager. Provides basic file operations: copying, deleting. Possible in ZIP archiving and retrieval of archives. Program Launcher. Alternative “Start” button. A program to launch an application. Provides analog traditional menu with icons and would adapt to a new operating system to users accustomed to the traditional menu Samsung appliances.
SIM Manager. Annex to the SIM card. Specific comment is not required.
Task Cleaner. Manager tasks, closing unnecessary applications for the release of memory.
Time Manager. Increased standard calendar. Alarm clocks, world time, and a reminder.
WAP Browser. Built IE supports WAP sites, the need for a separate browser not. It is not entirely clear why it took another set for WAP browser - - Establishments browser system to perform its functions is quite attractive.
Among embedded programming lacks utilities to backup data and programs to display photos caller.

The impressions and conclusions

Although not very high capacity battery, the phone worked without charges for nearly two days. The time was 35 minutes of conversation, other functions are not used.
Listening to music, photography, viewing significantly reduces the duration of work autonomous apparatus. After charging the battery morning barely enough for the day. To provide quality reception claims difficult - it strong, microphone volume and dynamics well enough for comfortable conversation. As melodies call-MMF can be used, the MIDI, WMA or MP3-songs. Same strength of the apparatus is part of his music.

The main drawback of this phone is the use of an outdated operating system. The position of the company in this matter is not altogether clear - certainly need a run-technology, but the lack of updating firmware of the same apparatus became the most demanding users, but for consumers it is quite normal roads. At the same time, the Network recently reported that the release issued by the party experienced pilot batch i300 WM with the new version 5.0. But this party is for a particular operator, and is unlikely to be available for normal users. Some encouraging only the fact of possible upgrading. A lack of skilled craftsmen our land has never suffered. In general, the model is of producing a dual impression. Strong innovative solutions together with outdated standards. It can be said that this trial balloon, running technology, and will have real potential leader of a little magic. But if the company would delay their preparations for quick, and it may miss - - not far from the exit of competitors Nokia - - N91 has been submitted.

Family sliders rapidly replenished. Gaining popularity in higher price ranges, sliders began to absorb and other horizons. But before all this apparatus form factor traditionally been universal. Phone Samsung X810 was the first slider practically oriented excellent sex. Combining mini decent functional and could not be more appropriate in modern animals, seeking to combine the confidence and femininity. With this apparatus is not ashamed to appear at the most fashionable crowd. At the same time, he will be well taken and the business meeting. The presence of cameras and full mp3 player also is an undoubted advantage model.

Included items: phone, battery, strap on the hand, charger, a stereo, instruction. Availability remaining unknown in a set of memory card - I hope that the developers do not forget to include it. I would also like to see the existence of the data-cable and CD with software. Because of the relative, as yet, rarity switching port connector used to find the appropriate cable will be quite difficult. Some technical specifications: standard: GSM 900/1800/1900; size: 89×37x24 mm, weight: 85 g; standard battery: Li-Ion 800 mAh and maximum talk time: 5.5 hours; maximum waiting time: 200 hours

Appearance

The device turned out to be surprisingly compact. Its width is exactly half the width of a standard cigarette tutu, length and thickness of her match. Design is a modern apparatus - laurels Apple Nano can get no rest, even the leaders of the mobile market. Release is planned in two color decisions: the hull can be fully silvery or as an option with black front panel. Approximately half of the area is the front of the screen. Display made on TFT technology, has a resolution of 128 dots х160 and supports 65 thousand colors. At the top of the panel is a rotating block cells, combined with the basic dynamics. This solution fully protects the camera lens from the ingress of dust and dirt. This approach to the protection of optics is already used in phones and the company was fully justified. Turn the camera will be handled as usual and the frontal shots. The only drawback of this solution is not entirely comfortable with the camera work in a folded condition - from the apparatus had to deploy themselves. But it is a natural limitation with this decision, the designer. Nobody hampers disclose apparatus and deploy themselves on camera. At the bottom of the panel is a round stick - that’s it, curtsy to the Nano, which are located around the control buttons that are on the arc. By the standard soft keys, call buttons and keys Lights Out added confirmation (QA) and disposal (C). Because of severe restrictions on the area of the buttons are very small. This is primarily done on this phone exclusively female - a big male palm with petty keyboard is extremely inconvenient. But for small women’s brush with thin fingers no restrictions on any comfort. Phone is fully functional and closed - only the deleted text, which requires access to the digital keyboard. A few words about navigating through menu items. The main type movements in the rotation apparatus became navigational keys. This is a rather convenient way if it is used to. At the same time, nobody cancelled the traditional movements with the help of pressing the joystick right-left, up and down. So, the user has a choice. The only inconvenience, I thought the lack of confirmation with the help of the central pressing the joystick - in this model for this is a special key. Digital keyboard also gave tribute to its design.

All the buttons are very small, but the touch is well visible. Convex surface of the keys, so no difficulties with recruitment blind does not arise. Lights keyboard uniformly white, the caption read all good. At the bottom of the front panel are stereo speakers, which work only when playing music. The decision is more of the image than functional - at such a distance between the dynamics of a realistic stereo possible only through the headset. But then, and the need of additional dynamics disappears. So it is just a Fad - modern phones companies are required to maintain a voluminous stereo. On the left side brink (bottom panel) is dual volume control button. On the right - the launch button player, camera and headset connector for connection. The latter has its own form-factor and is suitable only for headsets own production. Connector closed plastic lid, which is one edge attached to the shell at erasers. At the bottom of the device - a traditional connector for connecting nutrition and data-cable. It also covers a plastic dummy with the same method of attachment. At the top of the centrally located directly abalone for fastening strap. The rear portion of the shell, like the side panels, completely silver. The removable lid combined with battery. The capacity of lithium-ion batteries is 800 mAh, under it is the connector for attaching a SIM card (with the traditional transverse jumper) and the slot for a memory card format TransFlash (microSD). Such cards are becoming standard in new apparatus of the company. Disappointing is the lack of hot replacement for memory cards. But that, again, can be attributed Miniature models - places in the hull under the card slot simply did not have. In addition to cards, the phone is on board about 90 Mb own camera, which makes it quite acceptable as a Flash-mp3 player. However, the design of the front panel also clearly points to such positioning.

Slider equipped with a mechanism for fine-tuning - open and close with one hand easily apparatus. Build Packaging done enough quality, but little scripts at the opening and closing of the device are present. It is not tightly adjacent rear lid. However, this situation is typical for engineering samples - they have to pass through many hands is not always accurate. Typically, to the final production of all deficiencies in the assembly removed. At the same time, cross-sectional plays - mainly a disease of all sliders - completely absent. Memory dynamically redistributed in the phone only between songs, sounds and images. For text messages, there is a limit - no more than 200. For MMS messages and e-mail available memory is limited to 3 Mb. For Java applications limit is 4 Mb. As a programmatic filling in the model used to ensure a modified version of D500-D600, why dwell only on differences.

Menu

The main type of menu is a 3 x 3 matrix of icons, while the D600 model in this phone switched menu and type presentation in the form of animated icons. Moving between the menu at the second level only vertical. The lateral movement with the help of joystick is not provided.

Journal calls

All usual. Displayed taken and missed dialed numbers. In addition, the show has traditionally been a single list of all calls. For each of call you can get complete information on the time, date and duration.

Phone book

The capacity of the phone book is 1000 subscribers. At each contact, you can store 5 types of telephones, e-mail address, textual note of the 50 signs, and the picture melody call. When an incoming call is not a picture displayed in full screen, but only a part (approximately 96 h96 points). Acceptable creating business cards with the same columns as for normal contact. Adding data to contact, except those specified, it is impossible. The phone is possible to build the 10 groups, each of which also can be set picture and melody. To speed dial traditionally provided 2-9 number keys. Pressing 1 reserved for access to voice mail.

Attachments

The main annex is the mp3 player, which supports mp3 files of different bitrate. In addition, supported by the usual midi-and mmf files with voice. For better sound equalizer is used with several presets (classical, rock, jazz and normal reproduction). The quality of music markedly improves the availability of support-Res 3D stereo, or through stereo speaker’s apparatus. Glasnost has 10 different divisions. Dictaphone has restrictions on the record for MMS and e-mail. The maximum recording time is 1 hour; the number of entries is limited to available memory. Options records to a memory card and record the conversation is not provided. Editor images - small tool to edit photos directly on the phone. You can add frames, resize. Recommended fans and people with a lot of free time. Edited picture with very amusing effects can be sent in as an attachment to an MMS message. Java world. For more downloads of games available 4 Mb. In this model of chronic disease is present almost all Samsung phones. Java applets transmitted via Bluetooth or recorded directly to a memory card, the phone is not accepted. So far, Samsung on-demand content providers allows for downloading Java into their models only through WAP. World Clock - the traditional time zones for the installation of two selected zones. Alarm clocks. Their three on the phone. And when the same functionality is the first named morning. As the choice of treatment options available to call on weekdays or on one. In settings you can turn off the alarm clock in the weekend or Sunday. As melodies can be set as ring-tones available, and downloaded melodies, including mp3. The phone has a normal calculator, converter values, which include currency, timer, and stopwatch lifting the interim periods. These applications are common and are no different from other models used. To access the Internet using the built-in browser support WAP 2.0. For access to the network using the HTTP protocol.

Communications. Supported profile EMS, which allows the inclusion of an emoticons, melodies, text and melody. Perhaps the establishment of combined communications. T9 Dictionary enjoy convenient. But the list localized in the Russian language version of firmware is not available. Therefore tested the service in English. The maximum size of an MMS message is MB. To use the editor to create MMS very convenient. At any point you can save the message and go back to editing at a convenient time. On allocation of memory for messages has been described above. Email client. Supported POP3/SMTP- boxes. You can create multiple accounts. In addition to downloading headers, provides apparatus and investments, of which only supports images (GIF, JPEG). File Manager. Provides access to the traditional phone folders, which are stored music, pictures and video, music, sounds and other files. All usual, but once again want to emphasize the lack of opportunities to launch Java phone memory card and transferred via Bluetooth. Folk art craftsmen have already decided these problems for phones, which are available in the engineering menu. The current testing apparatus at the time was still too crude to make definitive conclusions about the availability of such operations. Calendar. Allows recording of the events do four types: Laundry call, memorial, anniversary. Supported recurring events. Several regimes viewing and sorting. In memory can be saved for the 100 entries for each type of event. Also, the user can create up to 50 text reminders length up to 100 characters each. To prevent these records, and no signals. Overall, it is convenient calendar without unnecessary features. Camera. In the apparatus of the camera with a 1.3-Mpks CMOS matrix. The maximum frame size is 1280×1024 pixels. It also allows video to withdraw in solving 352 х288 points for up to 1 hour. Detailed examination of the quality of images and video were launched because the camera worked very unstable. This phenomenon for engineering versions is not news - when testing D600 picture was similar. “These children’s illness” completely corrected in commercial samples, so you only have to wait for the new firmware.

Preferences

In this menu, the traditional focus settings phone screen, and wireless network services, security, etc. All quite normal. Availability of a full-rewarding Bluetooth module. Even without the installation of drivers on the PC phone correctly, reflecting correctly file transfer protocol. X desktop via Bluetooth has received full access to folders that shows up in the file manager. Synchronize the phone book is not checked - this requires special software, which is currently not available.

The impressions and conclusions

Phone tested in the week. During that time, there were no problems with communication. Ringing and dynamics were even lower - at maximum volume dynamics are beginning disapproval. Not enough good phones - call when turned off, the audible signal is easy to miss. As an mp3 player phone worked just over 5 hours - the result is the average. When the total number of calls up to 20 minutes a day and the hour when using other functions apparatus had to recharge in the middle of the third day. In the extremely mode with a constant search for the network (zone uncertain reception new operator) Battery enough for 2.5 hours. Full charging time was about 1.5 hours. It is heartening to see the most promising solutions company moved into the lower price niches. To replace the E530 extra bed E350 slider came first and then there was a queue and renovation in a series of H. Model H810 is precisely fills niche image solutions in average price ranges. Attractive appearance, small size, impressive functionality and good quality assembly Packaging can make this phone is very popular among the better half of humanity. But I am not surprised if I see it in the hands of young men - recognizable design that is conducive. Remained await the appearance of models on sale.

The overall trend in mobile devices related to the harmonization of software in a particular ruler, has resulted in the write reviews of updates is becoming easier and easier. For each segment of the consumer market has its own basic model of functional richness, and describe the specific functions of the device menu no longer required - just enough to indicate differences. The main burden in the positioning and promotion of new products on the market is design. And here is a good time to recall last year model Motorola Company, which presented “razor thin” RAZR V3, has done much to determine the direction of the market for image devices. Following impeccable logic - “Not the first, become well,” - a company Samsung has successfully implements these fashionable trends in the class of machines, in which it is beyond question and the recognized leader. This, as you have already understood, is a slider. On the presentation of new models, we were told in one of the last rooms, and now it is time to get acquainted with one of the novelties at more closely. Today, in our test labs thin slider D800, designed to work in the GSM networks. Review analogue D820, designed for networks of GSM / UMTS, will be presented later.

Appearance

Telephone gets really thin. Its thickness is 14.9 mm, with the weight of 98 g. processing apparatus used decorative metal elements, which, coupled with a black plastic shell produces very stylish impression. The main part of the front panel is an excellent screen quality. Matrix is 2.13 inches diagonally and displays 262 thousand colors in the settlement of 320 х240 points. A high resolution image makes it very clear. Traditionally, the screen is resistant to fading - with bright light, only a few dull images, text messages while still quite readable. Advantages screen are also high angles review with a turn in a horizontal plane. Slightly worse is the case with vertical angles - picture darkens considerably already, with little deviation screen. At the top of the metal bar located jumper covering the hole dynamics. Immediately note that the loudspeakers in the staff of three, but two of them are for stereo playback and located on the rear of the hull. Disclosure to the panel with one hand missing explicitly - it replaces slight thickening of the shell under the screen. Fine-tuning mechanism works very well. On tight enough to prevent inadvertent operation at the same time convenient enough for comfortable work with the device with one hand. The presence of metal and sending high quality assembly suggest that the traditional phone will be deprived of the disease all sliders - premature wear and fastening mechanism top bar. Luft, as such, is entirely absent.

At the bottom of the panel is a block buttons. Designers have decided that the keyboard in a thin apparatus should not project beyond the plane of the panel. In terms of creating a harmonious image perception phone that decision looks logical, but it affected ergonomics not the best way. Buttons software blocks large enough, but absolutely flat. Transitions between them at the touch virtually no guessed, so to work with telephone blindly quite difficult. Most of the design of the keyboard key is affected navigation. Suffice it convenient to work only with a central OK button. By any pressing right-left and up-down must be long enough to adapt - finger all the time reach key. The only solution is the use of nails, but with the need to press the joystick very accurately. Block numeric keys are made in the form of single pane share keys. Decorative inserts only divide the ranks of the keys. Because of this decision follows a number of consequences. First, the course of any keys talk is meaningless to the fore in general supports the correct positioning of the fingers on the keyboard. Secondly, the notion of blind offset almost set. Working with a keyboard in the dark can, illumination apparatus uniform, and a fairly bright, but typing without looking at the keys, hardly succeed. Overall work with the keyboard is not a strong point of this machine, and will have to adapt to it long enough. Construction of the lateral facet extremely simplifies the description of them. Elements such as on the verge of side just three: on the left is a unified connector to connect charger, headset and cable television. It is an entirely new form factor, so use the chargers from other models fail. Next to him is dual volume control button made in the form of swing. On the right is the only button verge of activating the camera. More than any elements of the management side at the brink not. The back cover of the phone is made of black plastic mat. At the top of the slight thickening of the panel - located on the inner surface of the camera unit. Machinery used in removable lithium-ion battery capacity of 850 mAh. Unlike past Samsung devices, the battery is not combined with the rear lid. The holder for the SIM card is not quite normal. Map inside the top of the shell, it just goes out the outside edge. Lid covering the battery pack, is a very densely notches, accidentally open it practically impossible. Camera lens located on the inside of the top panel. To produce survey can be opened only with the apparatus. As the viewfinder screen is used. CMOS-matrix has permission to 1.3 megapixels. The outbreak is absent. By assembling quality claims not. All parts fit very well, and play foreign scripts available. The application of quality plastic makes it almost invisible traces of fingers. Appearance phone leaves very impressed. Strict rectangular cabinet suggests rather menswear audience, but I will not be surprised if this thin slider will be popular among women.

Main menu

Icons main menu completely, but the functionality of the device are exactly in line with the D600, why dwell only on the differences. The main type of presentation remained two-dimensional 3 x 3 matrixes, but perhaps also the presentation of the menu in the form of animated screen savers. Supported by the transition between points with the help of digital sequences. The first option - magazine calls. Saved to 30 calls each type. For single entries can be seen and the date and time of call, but did not specify its duration. Equal calls summed opposite numbers showing their number. Is feature detailed view - for the duration of each call is displayed? Traditionally, in this menu, you can see the total time of all calls and costs, with appropriate settings.

Phone book

Call the contacts can be a standby mode by pressing right soft keys. Another way is to move the phone book from the main menu. A list of contacts contains all records from phone memory, and SIM cards. Rooms with cards have an icon. There is a quick search on behalf of the letters first. If the name of a graphic file suits (picture), the contact is displayed in front of a small icon. For each contact, you can store up to 5 phone numbers of various types (mobile, office, home, fax, etc.). The main room will be introduced first. Paul rigidly fixed, not add new data. But to send a message or call can commit to any numbers. For the first and last name, there are two fields; each can enter up to 20 characters. The order of entries is strictly fixed. Search under way for the first field. In filling fields can be changed language recording. Screening is the first to display the names of contacts at the local language, and then all the rest. As additional data for each contact, you can enter e-mail address, small textual note. You can assign a personalized melody and the graphic file. When called picture is displayed in full screen. Pre groups in the phone not - they need to create their own. As an identifier of a group can also be set to music and image. The subscriber can enter immediately into several groups. The total capacity is 1000 phone book of names and does not depend on the number of completed fields. In the settings you can choose which contacts will be recorded - to the phone’s memory or on the SIM card. Any record can be sent to an external device as SMS/MMS- message or Bluetooth protocol. Supported quick set, it provides keys from 2 to 9.

Attachments

In this menu, focused mp3 player, dictaphone, Editor, Java applications, world time, alarm clocks, voice manager, a calculator, converter, timer, and stopwatch and keyboard manager. Item fairly widespread, but in many applications familiar. Built mp3 player supports random, consistent and cyclical reproduction tracks. Download mp3 files to the phone can be from the outside, through Bluetooth and synchronization from the program. Files can be of any names and tags to be supported by the Russian language. Songs can listen through a headset, supported A2DP profile. Supported with a playlist. Equalizer has a nominal role. Supported by several presets (classical, rock, jazz and normal reproduction). The lack of memory card does not allow for the use of the compositions more than 76 MB of memory built. Player running in the background. Dictaphone. The total number of entries is limited only accessible memory, while one record length may not exceed one hour. All records stored in a separate folder. Recording voice qualitative rather, it is easy to decipher later. Phone could be used as a digital voice recorder. Photo allows photos and footage with graphic files simple editing operations and overlay effects. In doing so, the original image can be quite convert. Annex certainly inferior to a professional desktop packages, but with artistic taste gives a very interesting result. Java World. For Java applications using a limited amount of memory, no higher than 4 Mb. MIDP Version 2.0 allows you to use your phone games, rich graphics, as well as three-dimensional toys. Toys these are well known, but increased resolution and the excellent quality of the screen allow perceive them in a new way. In the same folder sets, and external applications. Phone showed quite decent results in the 3D tests. Support for the new profile will allow Java set in the future and new applications developed for the Java platform.
World Clock. After choosing the city as a home, you can learn about the time in any other city from the list supported. The function of the normal and needs no special comment.

In three phone alarm. Despite the fact that one of them is named morning, they all function the same. For each, you can choose the alarm melody (supported mp3), cycle time and alarm (supported exceptions for days, weeks). As an additional option you can specify automatic shutdown. The functions of the calculator, converter values, and the stopwatch timer in a particular description are not needed. Implemented all the basic functions that work with applications convenient.
Voice Processor. In the apparatus built system independent voice recognition, allowing select contacts from the phone book, and navigate the menus. With this feature involves a rather curious episode. For the first time, independent voice recognition function was implemented in the phone E620. She worked in the engineering version of the phone, but the ultimate version of localization has been removed. Engineering sample tested D800 also has this feature, and it works quite correctly. It is hoped that the option to continue in the final release. In practice, working with a voice recognition function in the following way. If you press the button contacts, it will offer telephone say the name from the phone book or voice command to the menu. If the word understood, then to record labels to repeat it again. This function works without regard to language. I note that completely workable option was also represented in the Nokia 6280 phone. The browser. Installed on the phone wap browser version 2.0 works on http protocol, and can view the HTML-with a markup. All functions are standard. One can only note the lack of connection setup time, which in some cases can lead to the compound for the time gap.

Messages

Section traditionally consists of an SMS, MMS and e-mail messages. The phone can save 200 SMS for MMS messages and e-mail allocated 3 MB of memory. Dynamic allocation of memory, as for Java applications does not apply to communications. For SMS is supported by advanced profile (EMS), with emoticons implemented in the traditional form for Samsung appliances. They represent small drawings men. Working with MMS conducted in a standard editor. Messages can easily create, before sending them can be viewed. In the MMS settings, you can choose the maximum size (95 and 295 KB). There are predefined templates. Your e-mails have a blacklist, which can add addresses from which advertising is distributed. File manager. The traditional option of conventional analog conductor. All files in the phone grouped into folders Photos, Video, Music, Sounds and other files. Memory Manager allows you to see the number of free memory on the phone and sizes allocated folders.
Organizer. Allow you to take notes on the events of four types: Laundry case, anniversary, more. Preserve can be 100 events in each category. Three viewing modes: month, week and day. For each record, set the time and date of events, that the end of time. Supported recurring events. Built 1.3 - megapixel camera allows for images with a resolution of SXGA (1280×1024) to the Sub-QCIF (128×96) points. The quality of compression of images in JPEG format can be selected from the Super fine, Fine and Normal. The screen phone images look fine. The sound of shooting at shutter can be disabling. Adjustable sensitivity matrix, with automatic working properly. In matrix mode allows the camera image of the individual fragments. Available serially shooting. The series may consist of 6, 9 and 15 frames. Image editing, effects and the imposition of a framework to produce better after the shooting, using the built-in editor. The phone supports video recording in 3GP format, as well as clips with sound. Maximum permission to frame х288 Video cameras at 355 points, the rest of the settings in line with camera settings. The quality video recording phone is one of the best on the market.

Restrictions on the size roller No, but there is a regime survey for MMS, in which roller length does not exceed 100 KB. Applications that are not explicitly represented. Picsel Viewer. It is the application that allows the phone to open MS Office file format (for example, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), image and video. He is a proprietary Samsung chips and built into all models of the most significant recent releases. Open application can be scaled, to rotate, rotate. Directly to your phone screen can display an image on a television set or projector. It would be appropriate to repeat the description of this function, given their time on the phone D600. Using the model avoids quite small presentations in the mobile phone and does not require a laptop or PC. It is not only the image is displayed, but also broadcast sound. In paragraph contains the settings set the phone and network services. Traditionally, you can choose the font color on the screen in standby mode, a password-protected section of any phone (messages, short messages, organizer, etc.). The model supports multiple profiles Bluetooth - in particular, Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, Dial Up Networking, File Transfer, Object Push, A / V Headset. They called an astonishing inability to send files on the phone with another device. OBEX function is not implemented fully or engineering flaws affected firmware.

General impression and conclusions

Phone has no problems with the quality of communication. Sound in the dynamics in a conversation without noise, the net. Volume mp3 well enough to listen to noisy street machine. Vibrocall average force. Connecting to the Internet will also install without problems. Encouraging the support EDGE. Q plus models include ability to play mp3 in the background, the presence of a voice processor, the ability to customize the backlight. Q minus apparatus includes unsuccessful keyboard design unit and the lack of support memory cards. Phone will glimpse for further action in the field of thin Samsung appliances. Already announced the release of the model in full metal case, nothing prevents a manufacturer and install a memory card - the older model D820, it is provided. Given the company’s leadership in the production of sliders, we can safely assume, and the commercial success for this phone. Phone company granted Samsung.

This review is written by two authors. Initially, we thought that the views diametrically distributed. No phone has been so good that we had to constrain the emotional fervor of each other, so that an impartial review does not become a complimentary air. What was the result - to judge you? It just so happened that a review of a new line of phones Nokia smartphones, we started with N90. The device has been largely outstanding: glass optics, high resolution screen, a new version of the operating system. The only restriction - a very impressive size and the absence of vibrations. Founder series N70 looks more habitually. This monoblock small. But, like all Nokia smart phones, it has a very impressive capabilities. For that you have to pay. Everyone knows that any less big waste of money to be ten times premeditated calculated and weighed literally up to trifles. Naturally, in advance. Kopeika saves ruble and the ruble - a convertible currency. She, in turn, - the first step towards the foundation of prosperity. You can spend money on things necessary, you can afford certain luxuries - everything is justified by expediency purchase. To overpay a certain amount for a new mobile phone does not mean to ditch money on the table - after all, the image and status of certain attributes and demand are expensive. There’s something not even going, but as a one-can take advantage of a situation, is not always meaningless. There is, after all, what will happen and what may be needed urgently. So here the boundary between “thrown money” and “investment” is very fragile and almost transparent. In any case, it all depends on the attitudes, requests and the amount of free funds. And what about the opportunities that are here now and will be “dead” and the goods will not be in demand for objective reasons? What could motivate purchase machinery and for 3G - relevant and useful functions, which, nevertheless, as residents of our country, and an entire CIS in the near future is not simply shines. However, the circumstances are very different: one hope to imagine who purchase the UMTS license, someone spends time in the mission and had the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of WCDMA, well, and somebody takes a second chamber is not fashionable to attribute as a witness. So, as you think, whether he buys 3G model? Cupit. If it week to give borrowed Nokia N70.

Series N of the Finnish mobile works is seen as the fruit of evolution. And it is not a matter of “spin-off” development branch. The thing is that Nokia summarized the extensive and prolonged its activities conducted bold line and the “Total” series put all smartphones N. Gathered on pieces of the most successful achievements of the group and given to a common denominator “iron unity” and software platforms.

Complete

Since then, some Nokia phones equipped its top segment on the most Principal level. Is not an exception and N70. In a plastic box is itself an apparatus charger (thin model) adapter for him, USB cable for connecting to a PC, a stereo wired HS-3, memory card DV RS-MMC capacity of 64 Mb with adapter, documentation and a CD of software.

Appearance

It is no secret that Nokia designers are big Goofy. I had the lion’s share of the smartphone they often do not fall in any framework of ideas. Suffice it to recall the 3650, 6630 and 7610. Like would be cool: Models produced unusual, original, and recognizable. But, alas, too bold experiments to taste very little - simultaneously with the requirements of novelty user almost always denied healthy adventurism. So neutral design is often most successful. Stylistic accents gradually move towards a reasonable optimum. Packaging Design brought to mind filled most pressing of the world Symbian and named N70.

If Nokia N70 and 6680 (or 6681), put together, the difference between them is visible naked eye. Crystal clear that the two smartphones Finns new idea - it should be noted at the time, while the N70 all developments were fully realized. The combination of drastic industrial user friendly features and smooth edges - during unmistakable and relevant one hundred per cent. Colors also picked “in the subject”: a combination of black and silver does not spoil yet any mobile phone. “” Original occurring N70, like, and not is called - is more a kind of collage of the latest developments of mobile fashion. Registration wisely and skillfully emphasized everything that should highlight: the evolution of new products and Nokia, and the advantage lying before us apparatus, and its small size. The latter, incidentally, was necessary - Nokia N70 is positioned as a (quote) “the world’s most compact smartphone that supports 3G-WCDMA”. In general, it is a statement not far from the truth: the model dimensions are 108.8 h53h21, 8 mm at the weight 126 g. The ratio of the size and weight best: on the one hand, the apparatus is not perceived “empty” on the other - no fear for safety pockets. Golden, in a word, the middle.

The front panel has been assembled classically. Incidentally, it was not done entirely of plastic - all key elements planted on the wide metal plate. Its thickness and texture cast in the lines of Nokia 8800. At the top right of the front panel is photosensitive element, which allows the apparatus adjust the brightness of the screen and keyboard backlight depending on the ambient lighting: Well it easier, and the battery charge economist - not exactly a tangible, but still pleasant. Levee (clearly at the center) planted dynamics of the voice, loud and clear - no claims here. And just refocused in the auxiliary camera lens, generously lined metal plugs. Its location is difficult to find fault with - he is definitely in place. His is a legitimate area of the display, with a matrix TFT-supporting 262-K classical coloration, and S60-176 h208 permission. The screen is quite good - in the bright sun little fade, but differs markedly from N90. This solution has significantly reduced the price of the final product. Block type is very small - at first glance you start to worry for his ergonomics. Some may cause inconvenience only center button navigational robot arm - and even that until “comes” that the press, it does not need to nail, and the pad of thumb. The keyboard is completely symmetrical: constructor for this model had “invent” the fourth Symbian-button, in addition to the textbook “menu”, “lifting” and “pencil”. Called it, nothing less, “Multimedia Key” and is, in fact, an additional programmable key. Access to the list of possible functions being separate from the menu. Not quite happily picked backlight color - in her bright blue light at the pictures and call keys Lights Out almost not visible. Right located Shutter button and the built-in camera shutter covering the slot for a memory card. Supported hot replacement. At the lower end launched Pop-port connector for the charger. The first is the standard size, and thus connect a headset and can be HDS-3, and the cable DKU-2. And second, fully in accordance with the new policy Nokia has been cut, which makes possible the charging of old phone chargers only with the help of a special adapter (supplied with the device). The upper end is decorated with buttons and the inclusion quickly change profiles, as well as slot polyphonic speaker. “Loudspeaker” what its name implies: to maximum volume in order to avoid accidents sound better than “twisting”. Its quality claims not: a clear and “juicy” for midi, and the mp3.

Block cameras on the back and front panel covered plastic slider - before us yet another legacy of 6680. He moves very comfortable and quite elastic: randomness virtually eliminated. In addition, obviously, the designers chose one of the problems mentioned smartphone, and is not protective shutter lens scratches. Camera lens “sitting” on the shell companies in the traditional outbreak - is the rule rather than the exception. Deleted lid back panel is easy enough, but objectively fastened securely - here any claims. Fixing SIM located, as opposed to the N90, under battery, the game ended in Communicator: want to get the SIM. Assembling done very well. The only comment you can make to the principle of fastening shutter, the camera closes - metal slide would have been more appropriate.

Menu

Technical filling N70 itself is almost identical at N90. The same applies benefits - they are described in our review of N90 and no need to repeat - there you can read everything, and even a few more. At the scene, and ARM 5T shustry processor with a frequency of 220 MHz, and the second edition Symbian OS Series 60 with a third consecutive Features Pack (version of the operating system - 8.1a), and the same communication suite (900/1800/1900 GSM, GPRS , EDGE, WCDMA 2100, Bluetooth). The user is provided with approximately 22 MB of dynamically allocated memory that for Symbian-smartphone is a great indicator. The amount of RAM is ~ 1.8 Mb. Flash memories, as stated above, are RS-MMC format, but the phone only supports Dual Voltage card format. Smartphone has a relatively good performance, and its programmatic ground before filling. The system “excellent” with friendly software from third-party developers - plus an appreciable score merits model. Bluetooth module is working correctly - no rough and conflict as it is associated with the phones, as well as with the PC. Telephone Directory and PIM function remained unchanged. N90 apparatus inherited from the possibility voice dial without prior record labels - the system successfully detects even recording made translit.

The application for viewing images and video, which, although with some modifications, moved from 6680. With no party apparatus codec supports MP3, AAC, Real Audio, WAV, AMR, AMR-WB, AMR-NB, AU, MIDI, 3GP, JPEG (EXIF 2.2), GIF, PNG, BMP (WBMP), MBM, MPEG - 4 and AAC +. The list, as you can see, impressive. Audio files, by the way, via a headset reproduced in stereo. Implemented in N70 and along with the radio is not popular in our service Visual Radio. The quality of the FM Broadcast reception with standard headphones are at the level of Nokia 6230/6230i. Fans of mobile entertainment also not offended: smartphone in memory at the factory was recorded in 6681 a familiar toy Snowboard 3D, as well as three-dimensional incarnation of cult “Snake” called Snakes. Implemented J2ME MIDP 2.0 with support for M3G/JSR-184. From the complete battery capacity of 970 mAh battery apparatus worked about two days - the result for smartphone directly say average. Quality almost never raised strong criticism.

Camera

Photo N70 cast, as they say, “no claims”: Auto neither you nor your optics from Carl Zeiss. Matrix Mpks 2 with a resolution, not a bad outbreak, the video recording, a sufficient number of settings and filters (for the complete list, again, refer you to review N90). Photographs obtained at least worthy. Supports direct printing to a compatible printer - is a clear fashion - as well as an automatic reduction in the size of the transfer of photos in MMS.

Conclusions

Nokia smartphone magnificent success. It is quite possible, even “the best”. The model is good and “soul” and “body”, and as such serious flaws, and perhaps not. An excellent design, excellent ergonomics, good performance and a stable operating system - is not the ideal recipe smartphone? Since announcing the initial time series range has grown considerably. Already announced withdrawal smartphone in the form-factor record, announced slider and the first Nokia smartphone with hard drive. In addition, the company announced soon release a corporate E series, at first glance, which clearly underlines the leadership of Nokia smartphones based on the S60. So the latest we will quickly acquaint you further. In 2008 promises to be interesting.
