 Bird S890 is announced in 2005
Design
The classic style of Bird design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 94 g and measuring 0 x 0 x 0 mm, the S890 is petite and relatively lightweight. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 128 x 160 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
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 Bird handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The S890 lies well in ones hand.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Bird 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 Bird S890 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
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Bird S890 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 64-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the S890 is also equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking .
Performance
Audio quality on the S890 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 hours talk time or 72 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Bird S890 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Bird S890 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Bird design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
