 Trium Aria-@ is announced in 2000
Design
The classic style of Trium design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 90 g and measuring 122 x 40 x 23 mm, the Aria-@ 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 96 x 64 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 Aria-@'s only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Trium 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 Aria-@ lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Trium 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 Trium Aria-@ 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 Trium Aria-@ has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the Aria-@ was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 580 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 75 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 87 minutes.
Availability
The Trium Aria-@ is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Trium's Aria-@ is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Trium. 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. |
