 NEC e525 is announced in 2003
Design
NEC's e525 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 48 x 101 x 24 mm and a heavy 110 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.A perfectly adequate 65,000-color display is bright and crisp, and is a far step above the dim 4096-color versions on even the most recent NEC models.The display resolution 162 x 216 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.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the e525'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 e525 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 NEC handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.
Features
In the WAN department, the e525 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 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 infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the e525 is also equipped with a 0.1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and when it comes to storage the e525 offers 1 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the e525 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 800 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3 20 hours talk time or 200 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 120 minutes.
Availability
The NEC e525 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
NEC e525 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. |
