Philips C600 review
Network and connections
The Philips manufacturing company does not launch a huge number of models onto the market like more famous brands. However, it always tries to offer quality in its devices, using cutting-edge technical solutions and careful choices. The C600's network receiver is a GSM Triband, on frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. UMTS support is not present, however it is possible to take advantage of CDMA frequencies. To browse the Web there is a GPRS modem. The HTML browser will handle the display of pages. Bluetooth support allows files to be exchanged with compatible devices. The USB data cable output is instead convenient for syncing directly with your home PC.
Design and features
The style of this Philips C600 is clean and classic, with simple lines that give a sober air to the Candybar body. The dimensions are fairly contained, with 16.6 mm of thickness and 118 grams of weight. The front houses the screen, a 2.4-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. Just below is a circular-shaped directional pad, which together with function keys allows the device to be managed at its best. The keyboard is a standard alphanumeric one, with small but very usable keys.
Main features
The proprietary platform is excellent as far as basic applications are concerned, already complete and simple to use. Java support, however, allows compatible software to be installed, to adapt the device to one's own needs. Support for predictive text helps a lot in composing SMS, MMS and E-mail. As for purely telephone functions, we should mention the presence of the speakerphone, the voice recorder and support for multi-conferencing.
Entertainment and multimedia
The features dedicated to entertainment are also complete. You can find the digital camera, with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. The quality of the images obtained will not be very high, however sufficient in moments of necessity. It also allows short videos to be recorded. The memory available to the user is instead only 2.5 MB. Fortunately it can be expanded with microSD cards up to 2 GB. In this way it will be possible to carry your favorite music and videos with you, to be played with the dedicated multimedia player.
