 Ericsson GA 628 is announced in 1998
Design
Ericsson's GA 628 - one of few models from Ericsson featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Ericsson GA 628 is very heavy and too big handset at 130 x 49 x 28 mm and 160 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 1 x 16 chars is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Ericsson handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The GA 628 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Ericsson 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 GA 628'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 Ericsson GA 628 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the GA 628 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1000 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 2.5 hours talk time or 83 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 150 minutes.
Availability
The Ericsson GA 628 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Ericsson GA 628 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Ericsson design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
