Sony J70 is announced in 2001
Design
The classic style of Sony design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 92 g and measuring 133 x 44 x 22 mm, the J70 is petite and relatively lightweight. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 92 x 92 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 J70's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Sony 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 J70 lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Sony 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 Sony J70 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 five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Sony J70 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, a voice recorder, 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 J70 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 800 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 9 hours talk time or 330 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 120 minutes.
Availability
The Sony J70 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Sony J70 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Sony design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
