 Haier V200 is announced in 2004
Design
Haier's V200 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 44 x 109 x 14 mm and 80 grams. Despite the weight it has a good feel in the hand, and the good shaped plastic body and styled highlights give it an attractive and nice look.The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.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 Haier handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The V200 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 Haier handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Haier V200 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 40-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 GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the V200 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 0 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Haier V200.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the V200, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.
Performance
Audio quality on the V200 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 900 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 300 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 135 minutes.
Availability
The Haier V200 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Haier's V200 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Haier. 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. |
