Test report and technical data Trium Mars
Trium Mars: a mobile growing wings
Pros of Trium Mars: cheap
Cons of Trium Mars: ringing tones cannot be downloaded
Hi guys,
Today I want to tell you something about my brand-new Trium Mars. Although I only own Trium Mars for five days so far, I have already talked to people all over the world with it.
The menu navigation of Trium Mars is excellent and due to the understandable manual also easy to handle. Trium Mars' menu is so well arranged that surfing the menu is really fun!
In case my grandpa decides to get a mobile, I will recommend Trium Mars to him.
Alas, the keypad apparently was designed for small ladies' hands and not for the fingers attached to a 2 m tall guy! Trium Mars weighs 115 g, which I find totally o.k., and its dimensions are not too big, either.
Concerning Trium Mars' design I have to say that it does not necessarily convince by its looks. I like it because Trium Mars has been decorated with stars, a moon and a sun; this suits a mobile called Mars perfectly, don't you think?
Up to 100 entries can be saved in Trium Mars; each entry can contain three different numbers. (3 x 100 adds up to 300!).
The battery of Trium Mars provides you with a stand - by time of 130 hours and a talking time of three hours. Trium Mars usually comes with a NiMh battery, but you can purchase a better lithium ion battery in the internet. Trium Mars will love you for it!
Another plus of Trium Mars is the fact that it is a Dual Band device. Thus it will work in most countries of the world (and maybe even on Mars?).
The equipment of Trium Mars allows talking to two people at a time, no matter where they are.
Trium Mars is capable of WAP. Furthermore, it features T9 text construction soft ware and a selection of 25 different ringing tones. Unfortunately, this selection cannot be extended via downloads from the internet. I found this rather disappointing about Trium Mars.
But Trium Mars compensates this flaw with its sound and reception quality (which is more important, anyway). You can adjust the volume of Trium Mars as you please - you can turn Trium Mars on such a high volume that even the loudest of your friends will be forced to shut up. Personally, I like choosing a different melody for Trium Mars' alarm function each time, so I wake up to a different tone every morning.
Three different logos bring life to the green-lit screen of Trium Mars and the small selection of games provided can help you out whenever you get bored. Although I could totally live without this feature, it deserves to be mentioned that one can set Trium Mars' vibratory alert on three different modes. This one time I actually thought Trium Mars was just going to take off and disappear in the clouds - on its way to Mars. Afterwards, I reset the vibratory alert.
Trium Mars also features a note pad and an integrated hands free talking device, of course.
All in all, Trium Mars is an average mobile. The most spectacular thing about it is its name. Still, Trium Mars offers enough functions considering its low price.
I like Trium Mars, because it is so easy to handle. Adding to this is the fact that not everybody has got Trium Mars - something that is not true for Nokia!
