 Bosch 207 is announced in 1998
Design
Bosch's 207 - one of few models from Bosch featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Bosch 207 is very heavy and too big handset at 147 x 56 x 23 mm and 179 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 1 x 14 chars 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 207's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Bosch 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 207 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Bosch 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 207's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Single band 900 MHz connectivity isn't all the Bosch 207 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the 207 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 650 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 85 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 97 minutes.
Availability
The Bosch 207 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Bosch 207 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Bosch design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
