I - I'm still not proud - come to a bad contract was (Vario 30), in which for all and any incurred fees incredible, it had to be an "old" model - without WAP, GPRS or similar fees traps. Either one makes an internet flat rate or you let it be - a phone that can not connect until is on the safe side. Successor models like the SGH-C270 disqualify himself from this view by their newer technique.
Unfortunately, older designs like the E1150 are still equipped with tiny umbrellas. At least there are colorful pictures for the background, but with longer numbers or texts you help out with scrolling, which is already cluttered. Of course this also the Scripture is not just huge. I have set a white background as legibility is also out quite well.
The rows of keys are separated by grooves, which not only looks good, but also helps to get "blind" deal. The slight pressure point I find very pleasant. Less well can mE the cursor use. Unfortunately there was the money, the handset keys to turn red and green - mobile Inexperienced as I confused the ever so slightly and choke times a call from. Pleasantly surprised by the possibility of contacts assigned to any items, so you can easily add multiple phone numbers to a contact - of this sensible functionality, the much more expensive smart phone to my wife only dream. On selectable background Colorful icons make the appearance more friendly than the E1100. The memory is connected to the demo sound actually already nearly full - apart from the fact that one needs expensive and not included USB cable to teach the new part sounds. The advertised high battery capacity I have not tested - surprisingly short at any rate the loading time.
A very smart feature is called mobile tracker: It's a one or two mobile phone numbers, which are then automatically called when someone inserts a new SIM card in the phone. The telephone number of the SIM-card is sent. So you could do with a little luck a person locate the "Lost" has to express the "found" mobile.
The optional metallic red, espresso-colored or silvery shell is unfortunately made of plastic - but otherwise the little device looks really good and is admired by non-mobile experts. Due to the large battery the part fits comfortably heavy in the hand. Making calls feels the folding part to more natural than with a latch. The power supply connector is located under a little dinky gummy cover that keeps hopefully longer than it appears.
It does what it should. Until my contract expired worse, there might be even smartphones that are as fast and elegant to use that multimedia and mailing make sense and fun - as long as it will do so "barren" E1150 to my complete satisfaction, if I do not return somewhere leave. But therein lies a great advantage of these simple models: It does about 30 times less pain than with a current iPhone ...
