Test report and technical data Trium Neptune Weiss
An ice-cold experience with Trium Neptune white
Pros of Trium Neptune white: value for money, eccentric design
Cons of Trium Neptune white: antenna is sticking out, plastic covers, eccentric design
After years of being one in the giant Siemens and Nokia crowd, I decided to go for a less known brand with my new mobile: The Trium Neptune white. I did not know what to expect from Trium Neptune white, but I wanted to get a cheaper cell phone this time.
Trium Neptune white's name really attracted me. The salesperson looked at me more and more funnily when I asked about Trium Neptune white being water-proof. So I just took Trium Neptune white (aka U-boat) and left.
My nickname for Trium Neptune white also refers to its design. It is milky-white, except for its blue flap. Trium Neptune white's design suits its egg-like shape. Trium Neptune white is stylish looking, once one got used to it.
At first, Trium Neptune white reminded me of one of these war toys I used to carry around when I was little. This is another reason for me to refer to Trium Neptune white as my u-boat. Sounds better than having another ball in my pants...
Although Trium Neptune white is rather solid, the weird material this mobile is made of gets scratched easily. But then one can purchase new covers for little money to give one's Trium Neptune white a new identity.
Of course, a u-boat needs to keep in touch with the outer world, and so Trium Neptune white features an external antenna, which is not too great. It will work, though, unless you break the antenna! The flap of Trium Neptune white does not hide explosives as it might make one think, but rather ordinary keys that have a good pressure point and are easy to handle.
Even in a stormy night on sea one will be able to see Trium Neptune white's silver-framed display shine through the fog. The well lit screen with its high resolution will guide the way back to a safe harbor. It will provide the u-boat crew with data, such as date, time, and records and so on. The crew of Trium Neptune white can communicate via SMS... I get carried away, I am sorry.
Anyway, back to Trium Neptune white's display. It has got these cool logos that bring life to Trium Neptune white's screen. It is a lot more fun to look at them than to always stare at one's battery status and reception quality that are displayed by Trium Neptune white.
Trium Neptune white is a Dual Band device, meaning it runs on GSM 900 and 1800. Its dimensions are about average.
Trium Neptune white weighs 120 g at a size of 120 x 50 x 28 mm. This is not too much, as some might say now. How is a u-boat supposed to sink if it does not have a certain weight???
Trium Neptune white will supply three hours of talking time and 130 hours of battery stand - by time, in case one is on a longer mission.
Sound and reception quality of Trium Neptune white have also passed my test. Unless one gave Trium Neptune white a really hard time earlier, one will never have to hear the swoosh of the ocean while talking on the phone anymore.
I cannot think of anything about Trium Neptune white that I really dislike. I have been fully convinced by Trium Neptune white.
I can recommend Trium Neptune white to anyone who wants a fresh (sea)breeze in their mobile experiences. Just beware of seasickness.
Oh, I almost forget to mention Trium Neptune white's integrated modem with 14.4 kbit/s and a first-class WAP 1.1 browser. Furthermore, Trium Neptune white has got anything one can ask for in a mobile: Vibratory alert, T9 text construction software, currency calculator, a diary option. In case the crew onboard Trium Neptune white becomes bored, there are several games to entertain them. Trium Neptune white is really fun.
