Nec 525hdm

The NEC 525HDM (High Definition Mobile Handset) has to be one of the best buys for a high-resolution colour screen phone on the market today. Although the embedded camera is low in resolution, the handset features GSM/GPRS quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz international compatibility and retails for only $69.99. I really question how anyone is making any money off this deal; it was only released to the US market this past November.

The 525 sports two LCD screens, an internal 2.2 inch, 65K colour display with truly VIVD colour, you have to see it to believe it, and a mini external 4K LCD. The 100K, 2X digital zoom embedded camera lets you capture images, and immediately send them as MMS or Email. Sure the camera captures at low quality, more of a novelty feature if anything, but who buys a camera phone for capturing family occasions or special events.

Also, when the flip is closed and the camera is activated, you can see the output on the mini LCD screen. The phone also features the infamous “snap shot” sound, which I was unable to de-activate.

When you first get the phone, you will notice how quiet the speaker is, you can hardly hear a voice in a silent room even if you turn the volume up all the way. NEC has some type of dual voice volume control. To adjust this you will have to go into the main menu, press 1,1,1 (Settings, Phone, Voice Volume) then raise the “Master Volume” as much as you can. I have never seen a phone having dual volume controls, and realize it could pose a problem to many users. Adjusting the primary volume to its maximum while in a call is not sufficient, you must adjust the secondary volume also. Who reads the manual anyway?

Using the NEC HDM website, users can easily download links to ringtones, games, and desktop images to their phone. The mMode service is very fast, I was surprised to how quick it was to retrieve larger java games. When you receive an email after requesting a game from the NEChdm.com, you will simply have to press the Left arrow button in the message, this allows you to select the link in to download your requested item. The website offers many free downloads to choose from, and many premium downloads are also available for a small fee.
