 Benefon Track is announced in 2000
Design
Benefon's Track - one of few models from Benefon featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Benefon Track is heavy and little big handset at 129 x 49 x 23 mm and 149 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 94 x 48 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the Track's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Benefon handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The Track is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Benefon 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 Track's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Benefon Track has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Track was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 6 hours talk time or 140 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Benefon Track is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Benefon Track is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Benefon design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
