Minus of the Philips Fisio 825: difficulty-of-use (keypad)
The Philips Fisio 825 is another cellular phone that is assisted by Bluetooth, gprs class 10 and w@p-browser 1.2.1 and only recently appeared on the mobile market.
The huge display of the Philips Fisio 825 is pure luxury: 4.096 different colors and highly resoluted with 112 x112 pixels. The kick about the Philips Fisio 825 is a feature called 'foto-call' which works this way: an incoming call is announced on the display of the Philips Fisio 825 by showing the picture of the person who's calling... combined with vibra call, this is a very entertaining function of the Philips Fisio 825.
The Philips Fisio 825 is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery that adds up to 400 hours stand-by time and 7 hours talk time. An amazing result for the Philips Fisio 825!
With 85 gram a real lightweight, furthermore it's also nicely shaped and vanishing small with dimensions of 98 x 47 x 21 millimeter. As it seems the Philips Fisio 825 might have a chance to belong to the nicest of all mobile phones.
The keypad of the Philips Fisio 825 is totally bewildering, but only if you see it for the very first time. But don't worry, after getting used to operating this mobile, you will have a hell of a time surfing through the menu of the Philips Fisio 825. It's like a breeze, believe me, you will feel on home grounds!
The pressing point is quite well placed, but the keys of the Philips Fisio 825 just look a bit weird in the beginning. If you start getting in contact with its keys, the Philips Fisio 825 could maybe cost some patience and power...
If using the keys of the Philips Fisio 825, try the voice dial command which the Philips Fisio 825 comes with. But there's another little niggle: the voice recognition of the Philips Fisio 825 is the only feature that really lets the Philips Fisio 825 down, the number of attempts it takes to be recognized makes it way slower than directly using the keypad. So what to do?? Throw the Philips Fisio 825 out of the window?? Nah, maybe it just needs some more training, who knows.
Another point that drives me crazy about the Philips Fisio 825: the accessories are not available in any shop, at all!! That's a true joke, I mean what's the point of exchangeable covers if you can't even get them?
The Philips Fisio 825 is compatible for ems service, however I need to add: why don't you try fixing standard feature-problems before integrating complex luxurious stuff in the Philips Fisio 825?
Lemme give you one last advice: read the manual, play around with the Philips Fisio 825, get used to the menu and you'll end up with a pretty reasonable phone!
