Sony Ericsson K320i review

2008-02-27 10:26:11

This SE mobile phone is a solid model, that has all the basic functions, and it will surely be adequate for a lot of users. The phone has the dimensions of 101x44x18 mm and it weights 82 grams.

The box has good quality, and so does the keyboard. The joystick is positioned too deep in the phone, so that it is protected from accidental contact, but also it can be very difficult to reach it. The joystick and the keyboard are illuminated,  which gives a quite of an effect in the dark. Above the keyboard, there is a 128x160 pixel resolution screen that shows 65 536 colors. Although it can support all of the phone possibilities, it can decrease the effects in the menu, or while video watching.

Data possibilities are average and they come down to GPRS, infrared and bluetooth through which you can control the computer using a practic function that is placed in the submenu "Fun" in which you can also find a few fun games in 3D versions.

The phone can also be used with bluetooth receiver, as well as wireless modem for PocketPC (headset, file transfer, dial-up networking profiles).

Sony Ericsson K320iVideos can be reproduced, but only MPEG-4 and 3GP formats with a limited lenght because of the small amount of memory.

K320i also reproduces music and it has a player equall to the Sony Ericsson Walkman series.

The only problem is that it has 15MB of memory and external memory upgrade through memory cards isn't possible so that active music listening isn't possible, but the amount of memory installed is still quite enough for hundreds of photos, graphics, themes or a few melodies.

The built in VGA camera comes with a digital zoom & the user can select effects which will enhance their photos.

It has a very good Li-lon battery of 750 mAh of capacity, that lasts for 7 hours of talk time, and 360 hours in standby.

ADVANTAGES: bluetooth, simplicity, battery endurance
SHORTCOMINGS: no expandable memory
