Test report and technical data Siemens SX1
The Siemens SX 1 - A technical miracle!
Positive about the Siemens SX 1: TriBand, Digi Cam, video recorder
Negative about the Siemens SX 1: no HSCSD
I haven't bought it yet: the Siemens SX 1. Due to his work in the telecommunication industry, one of my buddies had the honor of attending the launching event of the Siemens SX 1. I would want to share some info on the Siemens SX 1 with u guys, which I could only obtain via this particular friend and some intensive internet research.
The Siemens SX 1 shall be marketed summer '03 all over Europe.
The Siemens SX 1 widens the modules of camera mobile phones: on the back of the Siemens SX 1 a camera lens can be found. Protecting the lens from scratches, the lens of the Siemens SX 1 is placed slightly on the inside of the body of the Siemens SX 1. The releaser of the camera of the Siemens SX 1 is placed on the right side of the Siemens SX 1. Snapshots can be instantly sent via MMS and e-mail with the Siemens SX 1. Nuthin new for this league of mobile phones. The Siemens SX 1 is still equipped with numerous multimedia features, such as a audivisual radio-set, video recorder and MP3-player. For all those game-addicts, yes, there are numerous games to be found on the Siemens SX 1. The offer of games can still be expanded via the java-engine of the Siemens SX 1.
Further technical upgrading of the Siemens SX 1 are applications for the Symbian operating system and an improved sound quality especially for the headset. The Siemens SX 1 is the only Siemens mobile which assists Nokia ringer tones. The organiser data of the Siemens SX 1 can be synchronized with PC data, MS Outlook and Lotus Notes.
The Siemens SX 1 offers a compact package in terms of data transferring. Just anything except HSCSD is covered by the Siemens SX 1, let it be GPRS, e-mail-client, XHTML- or WAP-browser 2.0.
My mate informed me that the colour display is to be the total highlight of the Siemens SX 1: the mega-display of the Siemens SX 1 show 64.000 colours with a resolution of 176 x 220 Pixel. The colour distribution of the Siemens SX 1 is absolutely fabulous.
Even the technical performance of the integrated video recorder of the Siemens SX 1 is frictionless.
Regarding the technical performance of the Siemens SX 1 it needs to be said, that the guys from the Siemens SX 1 construction department apparently did value the practical side of the Siemens SX 1 quite a bit. With a huge, huge screen and spacious keys the Siemens SX 1 weighs a 116 g and has dimensions of 109 x 56 x 19 mm - quite monstrous, the Siemens SX 1. Nuthin for the smaller pockets.
About the keypad of the Siemens SX 1 I got to know, that the Siemens SX 1 is equipped with a 5-way-joystick and there's a special key on the Siemens SX 1 for easy navigating. Reportedly the keypad of the Siemens SX 1 is arranged a bit weird, however really huge softkeys help accessing the multimedia functions of the Siemens SX 1, such as the radio function. The keypad of the Siemens SX1 sounds like a multi-task indeed, guaranteeing a high ease of use.
The absolute asset of the Siemens SX 1 is the slot for the Multimedia-Card of the Siemens SX 1, which serves for extending the memory capacity of the Siemens SX 1. The Siemens SX 1 hereby guarantees a great solution for the use of all multimedia functions.
How fast and frictionless the software of the Siemens SX 1 will really function , shall be explored in the upcoming weeks, since the Siemens SX 1 will undergo several professional tests.
I am already pretty sure about my in-advance-research: the Siemens SX 1 will be "business class" in terms of its camera functions and will be worth its money.
