Multimedia
The camera on the back of the phone is a 2 megapixel one with autofocus. The highest possible resolution for pictures is 1024 x 768 pixels, and no matter how I count it, this is not 2 megapixels – I don’t understand. Picture quality is surprisingly good; we can take sharp, pictures with low noise even in poor light conditions. Near the lens there is a flash and a mirror for making self-portraits too. There aren’t many possible settings; there is a delayed timer, night mode, expo-correction (+/- 3 FE, in 1 FE steps). We can also set the amount of JPEG compression and that’s all, there isn’t even a manual white balance setting. Movies can be recorded at a maximum resolution of 352 x 288 pixels.
Music tracks are played by Windows Media Player, but the aforementioned O2 Media Plus gives additional possibilities, for example we can filter tracks by album/artist/genre.
Media Player has no bass boost, but the manufacturer has thought of those who need this feature, so with a separate application (from Settings) we can do such things. The device also supports SRS Mobile HD Surround Sound.
In the menu there is a software called Remote Control, which can only be ran in landscape mode and with this we can control anything that can be controlled theoretically – TV, HiFi, VCR. Basically we only need to select the controlled device’s manufacturer and that’s it. Landscape mode is needed because the infra port is on the side of the handset and so it only faces the controlled device in this position.
The manufacturer emphasized sound quality very much. The phone sounds fairly good on handsfree, it’s loud, but sounds of lower frequency cannot be really heard at higher volume levels. The included headset, however, is of very good quality, its design is like of the better Walkman headsets’, meaning that it’s inserted inside the ear, thus filtering out all external noises. The bass really rumbles, it’s absolutely all right, probably there won’t be many people who would like to change the headset.
There is an FM-radio, with RDS support. Movies are worth playing with TCPMP. I expected the application to support the GoForce accelerator, but it doesn’t. Still, movies with PC-optimized DivX/XviD encoding play without stutter, the 520 MHz CPU is powerful enough on its own for this.
