Commissioning went smoothly, the personal basic settings were made quickly. A 'specific' Ringtone (the public transport, for example, not everyone 3. Passenger and I therefore can not clearly assign my phone) was quickly transferred via Bluetooth from a mobile phone simvalley the Nokia 2720 and set in all profiles as standard. The menu structure is catchy, you need user manual in order to get along.
The display is apparently no greater than the 'normal phone is Nokia 2330, although more space than in the standard device is present in the upper part of the clamshell phone. The font is easy to read but with the default setting. The keys are a good size, better than the 2330 'that should the clamshell also be so.
The pairing with the headset, "Jabra BT 3030" as a second unit worked well. This headset is also still coupled to the simvalley phone. If the phone using the Nokia 2720, the Headset profile on another device (simvalley) are automatically logged out and the conversation is automatically reconnected. Conversely, this also works - the headset is just the simvalley in use, the headset profiles are the Nokia 2720 automatically off and logged back in "free message" of the headset. This task, to manage both phones is the task of the headset and not the connected phones - would not work, the error would be to first look at the headset.
The Nokia 2720 comes with a cable stereo headset, although not stood at Amazon supplied when I ordered - but so much the better! To use the built-in radio, the wired headset works as an FM antenna is imperative. The radio, however, caused problems and led reproducibly to freeze the device software! The case occurred repeatedly, the station search when I started while playing a radio station, to search for the nearest neighboring stations. According to Display has the radio even RDS. The scanning will start and will no longer be stopped. You can then use the "handset" left button to radio mode while seemingly, but the station will still play on. He even droning even further, if you then switch off the mobile phone and the display is dark. After switching on again in this state, the screen remains white, the device will not boot. Here only helps to remove the battery for a short time (for at least 30 seconds). As a result go date and time whistle and must be reset after the battery-off and re-insert and then restart. All other Einstelungen survived the crash.
If you want the SIM card to the computer to edit (for example, to maintain the phone book), the phone must also be switched off and the battery pack to be taken in order to remove the SIM card. I then put the battery again immediately, so that the interruption of the power supply takes a few seconds. This I could save my new-set date and time after the SIM card edit on PC, reinstated and the phone was restarted. Unlike the reset after freezing the power supply was interrupted significantly less than 30 seconds here.
Conclusion of the first impression:
1. With the device to acquire a sturdy clamshell that its "core competence" - to allow phone calls in good quality - solid fulfilled. The use and processing is very good.
2. A big mistake is undoubtedly the reproducible freezing in radio mode, but there are 2 star deduction. Since I still can use another phone to listen to the radio and also in any case rarely hear radio or music on the go, this circumstance is, in my case anyway not a reason for return. The radio function is not so important to me.
It would be welcome if the mobile phone manufacturers at the present time are not exclusively focused on smartphones, but also still parallel feed the market with devices that can make calls only need. The "clamshell Group" I therefore find just so convenient because you do not great to be here - have to worry Keylock - elsewhere often not working or difficult to be solved again. Lights Camera there are no unintended key press possible. With a smart phone, I had, as a result of undetected unlock the screen in your pocket and the subsequent equally unnoticed election of a speed-dial entry via quick button, only recently again made an unintentional call, and the morning by 4 clock on the way to service ... With clamshell this does not happen easily. Was rung out of bed in the incident luckily nobody who was involuntarily called party all night on duty and waiting for his Feierabend :-)
