NEC e616 Cell Phone

I love this phone because in an age of increasing technology, there is only so much that you need in a phone. I am utterly bored about hearing the capability of phones nowadays. I bought a brand new nec e616 in October 2003 and after a number of three network phones it is the phone that I am going back to in the year 2007.

The e616 is NEC's replacement for the e606. Like the other NEC 3G phones, the e616 supports the full range of 3's video mobile services - video calling, video messaging and downloading video clips. In addition, it also supports the GPS (Global Positioning System) enhanced features such as directions, maps and traffic reports.

The e616 has 2 video cameras - one mounted on the front, the other on the back panel. The camera resolution is only 100,000 pixels which is poor for a camera phone, although I think it takes a clearer picture than my more recent LG phone. The camera does have a built-in light for taking pictures or videos in low light.

The battery life of the e616 is poor, although it does come complete with two batteries so one can be charging whilst using the other in your phone. Which is a feature that I admit to liking.

It is rather huge and brick like in its shape but to me that is a plus. I like its bulkiness, it is unloseable in my rather large handbag and is also bashable for when the baby gets hold of it!

The main reason that I use this phone is for text messages. The punctuation is set out in an easy to use format, displaying all punctuation so you can decide what you want to use, instead of just press and guess!
