Phone calls, data transfer
On first boot the handset asks us to label the SIM card/cards, and if we have two of them then we have to choose the primary one, which will be used for outgoing calls and sending SMS messages by default. Selecting the default card of course doesn’t mean that we’ll be able to send messages only from that one, as with the button on the side of the phone we can switch between cards on the fly. If we’re browsing the contact list or typing a message there is only one signal strength display on top of the screen, instead of the two we can see on the standby screen, as this also shows us which card will be used, and we can change it with a press of a button. If we press the switch button on the standby screen then we can change the default card as well, but this means that we have to restart the phone as well. In case of incoming calls and messages there is of course no difference between the two cards, the handset can handle such things, no matter which card receives them.
The handset is a dual-band phone, it handles two cards and two frequency ranges (900/1800 MHz). There is unfortunately no 3G support, we can use EDGE as the fastest data transfer protocol, which is not a very fast thing nowadays. There is of course Bluetooth support at version 2.0 and it supports stereo sound transfer. The phonebook can store only 1,000 contacts, but fortunately we don’t have to have everything here, as the contact list can display both SIM’s contacts at the same time. We can store 200 SMS messages, while MMS and email messages are store on the dedicated 16 MB memory. By the way, the e-mail client support IMAP servers with authentication and file attachments as well.
We can use the phone for web browsing as well. As opposed to D780, the browser asks us which SIM do we want to use for data transfer, so we do not have to rely on the primary one. If we’re done we can launch the browser, but we shouldn’t expect a great experience. The reasons are the slow EDGE, the low-resolution display and the Access browser that literally tears the pages apart. Let the pictures do the talk.
