Test report and technical data Philips Fisio 121
Philips Fisio 121: A beginner's device
Plus of Philips Fisio 121: W@P browser
Minus of Philips Fisio 121: equipment
Philips' new beginner's mobile is on the market now: Philips Fisio 121; anything but the denotation 'beginner's phone' would be exaggerated. Philips Fisio 121 is very poorly equipped; the only nice feature it has is its W@P browser.
The Ni-Mh battery of Philips Fisio 121 (570 mAh) lasts 350 hours in stand - by mode, which is remarkable. In addition, Philips Fisio 121 will provide 240 minutes of talking time.
Philips Fisio 121 measures 106 x 49 x 22 mm, weighs 95 g and has got a four-lined screen. Brightness and contrast of Philips Fisio 121's screen definitely need to be improved.
Handling Philips Fisio 121 is theoretically very easy. Practically, it isn't. Using the navigation button of Philips Fisio 121 reminds me of playing Russian roulette. Sometimes you will end up in the submenu you wanted, sometimes you won't, due to the bad pressure points of Philips Fisio 121's keys.
Nice about Philips Fisio 121 is its SMS feature, which allows you to send icons, pictures or ringing tones along with your message. Philips Fisio 121 also supports T9 text construction software.
The hard covers of Philips Fisio 121 are exchangeable. You should order new covers directly from the manufacturer; I have never seen Philips covers in a shop.
Philips Fisio 121 features a calculator, an alarm clock, vibration alert and such, but that is not enough in these days, not even for a beginner's mobile!
At least, Philips Fisio 121 provides a good sound and reception quality.
Philips Fisio 121 is a mobile for beginners who are not demanding at all.
