 BenQ(Acer) M300 is announced in 2004
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, BenQ(Acer) has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the BenQ(Acer) M300 is a very slender and compact handset at 102 x 44 x 18 mm and 85 grams. The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all BenQ(Acer) handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The M300 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent BenQ(Acer) handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the BenQ(Acer) M300 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the M300 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 2.0, FAX/Modem, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the M300 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the M300 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 150 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The BenQ(Acer) M300 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
BenQ(Acer)'s M300 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from BenQ(Acer). A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
