After eternally long years should finally a spare her, and I picked up the Sony Ericsson T290i, a low-priced model sim-free, and from that I had very quickly the neck fully: Fiese fiddly buttons, hideous handling plus a completely forderes OS: When SMS -Tap lagged behind the device so that I had to slow my pace to do so as not to completely overwhelm the predictive text input. Well, I thought to myself, who buys cheap can just do not expect much.
That you can also get quality for less money has fortunately shown to me at 3110c. I liked the photos right away the nice big keys (I had enough of tapping into the finger reiskorn large parts of torture) and the glossy black casing. When I held it in my hand I was enthusiastic: The device feels downright supple, with its slightly rounded corners and the velvety rubber on the back that not only flatters the hands, but also ensures that the unit at all surfaces is good and not, as in my old T290i, starts wildly dancing through the area and suicidal to topple off the table (which I would have my old phone quite indulged).
The device feels very solid processed at what you really can not expect in this price range. The keys are, as expected, a good size and easy to read (not that I ever would need a magnifying glass with my young 26 years, but I have nothing against good legibility)., The menu operation as early as the Nokia-early intuitive and unobtrusive Very nice, I like that you first enter the recipient's SMS Write and then only writes - so you can not daydreaming inadvertently send the message to someone completely different. I also like the elegant, black base issue, but also the white and gray like me well - more are not on it, but all three are really good to use.
Particularly intense I had not concerned the equipment with the technical data, and so I was amazed what one then everything can be done with a device of the sub-100-Euro-class - I especially like the way the device simply via USB to connect the computer and MP3s as ringtones draufzupacken (unfortunately miniUSB cable is not included). The image quality of the built-in camera is of course far from a good digital camera, which was to be expected, but really funny I find the video feature in which you can pause the video while recording and continue, and thus apply to very primitive way cutting techniques (shot ! counter shot! swing into space!). Videos are 3gs stored in the typical mobile format that I could not play on my computer so, but the free "Oxelon Video Converter" converts them into perfectly functioning avi files to. This one is indeed surely not completely revolutionize film history, but for a few laughs among friends or the one or other interesting scene there is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
All data can be stored on a microSD card, the internal memory is so ridiculously small that the acquisition certainly recommended, but you get microSD card from 1GB already for well under 10 euros, and since then fits a right amount on it - the Why not order the same one.
Even when the display there is absolutely nothing to complain about. In contrast to the current Sony Ericsson T280i, in which the maximum angle is so bad that so much varies the brightness already between the left and right eye that I did when I tested this unit with a friend once had the feeling after a few minutes headaches get here a decisive better display has been installed - good viewing angle, good contrast, and movement on the screen, it draws no streaks. Overall, it is relative to the housing is not particularly large, but the device can still comfortably and without squint operate, including through the large system font.
All in all a beautifully-designed, well-designed and simple to use device. You really do not feel a Billi device in your hand - it can certainly not as much as the current high-tech equipment, but for the money you get here is a very solid and useful device. ) From me an unconditional recommendation to buy; that's saying something already - After all the phone has left enough impression on me that I felt inspired me to write such a long review!
