 Sharp 802 is announced in 2004
Design
Sharp's 802 has a standard design for this class handsets, measuring 50 x 102 x 26 mm and a heavy 149 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 240 x 320 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.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Sharp handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The 802 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 Sharp 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 802 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, 64-channels polyphony, 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,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the 802 is also equipped with a 0 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 28 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 Sharp 802.
Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the 802, 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 802 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The Sharp 802 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Sharp 802 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Sharp design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
