Pros of Trium Geo GPRS: GPRS
Cons of Trium Geo GPRS: design
First things first: Trium Geo GPRS is only recommendable for first time users. Experienced mobile users' needs will not be satisfied by Trium Geo GPRS. Trium Geo GPRS fulfills its tasks, but this is not enough.
The manufacturing of Trium Geo GPRS leaves room for improvement; it does not appear very solid. The rubber material already seems to break when you look at it intensively!
One can be glad that Trium Geo GPRS's flap is a passive one, meaning it does not do anything - except for its key lock function.
Of course, there are not only disadvantages about Trium Geo GPRS. Its keys, for instance, are big and have got a good pressure point. Trium Geo GPRS's menu is well arranged. Alas, light and contrast of Trium Geo GPRS's screen are too weak.
For those, who enjoy SMSing, Trium Geo GPRS provides T9 text construction soft ware; thus, writing SMS with Trium Geo GPRS is a matter of seconds.
The ringer tones featured by Trium Geo GPRS need to get used to. At least there are twelve of them. In case you receive a call and feel embarrassed by one of Trium Geo GPRS's ringer tones, you can use the right soft key to put the mobile on mute. Otherwise, there is still the vibratory alert.
Trium Geo GPRS's Ni-MH battery provides a stand - by time of 150 hours and a talking time of 150 minutes. Of course, Trium Geo GPRS comes with a charging device.
Furthermore, Trium Geo GPRS features a WAP browser that should be updated by the manufacturer, though. In exchange, the GPRS connection is quick, easy and reliable with Trium Geo GPRS.
For entertainment in one's spare time, Trium Geo GPRS provides two games that are actually fun. Too bad that Trium Geo GPRS is with 149 g such a heavy device.
The reception with Trium Geo GPRS is o.k., but the sound quality sucks; there is always an echo in the connection.
Trium Geo GPRS is recommendable for elderly people who have not used a mobile before, since it is very easy to handle. Anyone else should rather get another cell.
