 SonyEricsson T100 is announced in 2002
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, SonyEricsson has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the SonyEricsson T100 is a very slender and compact handset at 99 x 44 x 18 mm and 75 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 65 pixel is not very high but is normal for small phone like this.
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 T100's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all SonyEricsson 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 T100 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent SonyEricsson handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the SonyEricsson T100 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the SonyEricsson T100 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , FAX/Modem, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the T100 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4.3 hours talk time or 200 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The SonyEricsson T100 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
SonyEricsson's T100 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from SonyEricsson. 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. |
