Exterior
We never want to judge the design of a handset, as this is the most subjective part of the testing process, so what I write here only my opinion: DX900 has a very plain, insignificant design. I still consider the X600 series good-looking, but poor DX900… I look at it and I just don’t know what to say about it; it’s a small, chubby soap-holder. If we think it through the 17.5 mm thickness and the weight of 147 grams is not that much, as the dual-SIM support doesn’t only mean a card slot in plus under the battery, but a significant amount of additional electronics as well.
On top of the front there is the secondary camera for making video calls and the speaker, which also holds the two LEDs that inform us about the two cards. The rather pleasant touchscreen is in the middle, it has a diagonal of 2.8” and a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels. Besides the bright colors another positive thing is that it’s on the same plane as the other parts of the front, so there’s no problem tapping its sides. On the bottom there is the five-way navigation pad and the two call keys, all have a white backlight and all of them are easy to use, at least in terms of reaction time. I think it’s strange that there is only a single dial key, the best possible solution on a dual-SIM handset would be to have two green buttons.
The back looks better, although this won’t win any design award either. It’s made of rubber-like plastic, just like the bottom of the front, which provides a firm grip, but it doesn’t look like a premium-quality thing. The bottom part can be taken off, as that’s where we can find the battery, which can be taken out with a plastic ribbon, it’s a real challenging task. On the top there is the 3 megapixel autofocus camera and the handsfree speakers.
On the sides there is a harder, shiny plastic strip, on its top we can see the inevitable GPS label. On the right side we can see the power button, the reset gap, the protected microSD slot and the camera’s shooter key, and it’s also important to note that this is where we can take out the nice telescopic stylus. On the bottom there is only a microUSB connector, while on the right side we can see the 2.5 mm headset jack, the volume control keys and a quicklaunch key.
