HTC P3600 review

Thursday, April 26th 2007 - 23:00 CEST - Comments: 0

R ecently I've noticed that the trend of making telephones increasingly minuscule has been slowing grinding down to halt. Telephones are getting bigger again and luckily, the number of functions is increasing along with the format. LCD Touch screens are becoming more common and a good MP3 player and digital camera are now ordinary extras that everyone takes for granted. When the HTC P3600 was introduced a while ago, it was ahead of its time. It is a candy bar phone with only a few keys on the bottom for taking and ending calls and operating and scrolling in the menu. The HTC Trinity P3600 also has a touch screen which can be operated with a pen and your finger.

 

HTC Trinity P3600 - Menu

As the HTC P3600 is a Windows mobile 5.0 based telephone, it has many of the same functions as a computer. The menu has been constructed logically and has a clear, easy to oversee structure. It is nice to work with, but it takes a while to find all the functions, especially because they are all just a little bit different than in a normal mobile phone. Thanks to the size of the screen, everything can be ordered properly, which allows you to see everything clearly. Via the start screen, you can take a quick look in your mail box or check your calendar and record appointments. You can also quickly check the connection settings where you can install settings like WLAN and Bluetooth via the start screen.

 

HTC P3600 - 2 Megapixel camera

The HTC P3600 has a 2 Megapixel digital camera that works well under good lighting conditions, but clearly performs below average in dark or dim lighting condition. It is prone to movement blur if you take photos in dim light. As there is no form of extra light, small in-built flash or a LED, the little lens has to do everything. Clearly it's having a hard time of it. Maybe the next generation of HTC mobile phones will work better in the aforementioned light circumstances. The camera works well in daylight, producing clear, high-quality pictures. When the camera is activated, you just hold the phone the same way you would hold an ordinary digital camera.

 

HTC P3600 - miniSD Memory card

Recently, more phones have the option of expanding their memory with an external flash memory card. Each brand has its own possibilities for extending memory: Sony Ericsson often goes for Memory Stick micro, and recently Samsung has stuck to microSD. In the HTC P3600 you can expand memory with a miniSD card. Generally, a miniSD is a cheap memory card and it is a good idea to extend storage capacity so that you can also use the HTC P3600 as an MP3 player. Although the HTC P3600 is not the smallest phone in town, taking two appliances out with you is always more bother than just having one slighter larger one. The HTC Trinity P3600 is an attractive phone that has been well put together technologically. To find out how handy the HTC P3600 is in practise just take a look at the following HTC P3600 mobile phone review.
