Data transfer, other
This Porsche won’t be racing on the information superhighway. The device supports EDGE transfer at best. They weren’t poking around much with browser either, they just took good old Opera Mini and shoved it in there. There is Bluetooth, which is stereo compatible, and the box includes a USB cable too, which can be used for connecting the phone with our computer. In this case the memory card is seen as an external drive.
The fingerprint reader has security functions too, besides being a controller. To make it function, we first have to identify ourselves, which means we have to stroke its surface with our finger ten times. It’s pretty hard to make it store our fingerprint; I had to experiment a lot until I finally succeeded. After this we have to define a password (this is what we need later in case we want to change the fingerprint) and from then on the phone functions only if the appropriate finger is put on the sensor. As a bonus we can register all ten fingers and then all of our fingers are used for speed dialing a contact by default. Thumb for daddy, pointer for mummy and middle finger for the boss…
The battery provided a pleasant three day standby during the test period. The charger’s connector is on top and it doesn’t seem to be compatible with anything so we can only use Posche Design accessories.
Summary. It’s a fact that the device brings some good ideas. It’s a fact that it’s made of quality materials. It’s a fact that it hung up four times during three days and although I didn’t have to take the battery out, it restarted on its own. Its beauty is questionable; Sagem’s cooperation might be disturbing for many. I don’t know if it will have a target user group, but being unique is always somewhat attractive. As for us, there’s no award.
