 BenQ(Acer) S660C 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) S660C is a very slender and compact handset at 44 x 81 x 22 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 S660C is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.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 comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering S660C's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the S660C 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, 40-channels polyphony, 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 S660C is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the S660C was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 120 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The BenQ(Acer) S660C is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
BenQ(Acer)'s S660C 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. |
