Philips 330

Philips decided to diverge from usual style and produced a clamshell phone, targeted to youth market, mainly to middle price segment. There is rather a high demand in this price band and the company will try to satisfy it due to Philips 330. The main peculiarity of this phone is that it has only a series number, without word Fisio, which was used before. Today Philips 330 is one of the cheapest clamshell phone from the European manufacturer. Let’s take up its weaknesses and strengthens.

The handset has glossy cover plates, which are located on the rear and front parts of the phone. In our opinion this model is made in hi-tech style. Phone’s sides are silver. This handset is produced in several colors, i.e. they have different colors of cover plates (they can’t be removed). Phones of red, dark blue and silver colour will be available in Russia. Sometimes finger-prints are left on the glossy covers of the phone and one should clean the handset. It is the shortcoming of all the handsets, which are produced of such materials

A loudspeaker is positioned on the front cover, a service indicator – company’s identity, is located on the upper part of the handset. It is blinked by different colors while incoming call. By the way, there is one more service indicator, which is placed along the phone’s side, it is blinked by white while incoming call. It is a peculiar feature of this model, there are no other models, which have the same function. So, you can easily stand out with the handset against the background of others.

There is a strap hole on the topside of the phone. A system connector is positioned on the bottom. A double volume key is placed on the left-hand side.

The phone looks very attractive, one can hardly relate it to a middle price segment. But when you open the phone, you will be disappointed. Combination of silver plastic and glossy keys does not look so nice as the phone’s exterior. Keys are small and placed deeply in the phone, you touch the case while pressing them and it’s not very convenient. Keys have a white backlighting, characters are almost not seen on the digital keys, as the light is too dim. On the contrast, a navigation key is rounded up by the lighting rim, which is very bright. All keys are made of plastic.

Besides, there is a mirror rim around the screen. It is one more designer’s solution. Unfortunately, finger-prints are remained there too and you should clean the screen after each talk.

Philips 330 is equipped with a graphical display, which has a white backlighting comparable to one, which was used in Philips Fisio 625. Up to 6 lines (4 text lines and 2 service lines in SMS mode) are contained on the display. Fonts are quite visible; characters’ size fits the screen’s size. When the phone is active, a backlighting around the screen is also activated. It looks very unusual.
