 NEC G10 is announced in 1999
Design
NEC's G10 - one of few models from NEC featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the NEC G10 is very heavy and too big handset at 145 x 49 x 23 mm and 205 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 80 x 40 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 G10's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all NEC 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 G10 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent NEC 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 G10'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 NEC G10 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the G10 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 600 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 2.3 hours talk time or 250 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 90 minutes.
Availability
The NEC G10 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
NEC G10 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical NEC design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
