 Telit G40 is announced in 2003
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Telit has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Telit G40 is a very slender and compact handset at 105 x 46 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 101 x 80 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 G40's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Telit 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 G40 is comfortable to hold and 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 Telit 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 Telit G40 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 four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Telit G40 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the G40 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 610 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2.3 hours talk time or 240 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 91 minutes.
Availability
The Telit G40 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Telit's G40 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Telit. 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. |
