Siemens SXG75: GPS and 3G



The phone has 134 g wright and dimensions of 111x53x20 mm. This model is equipped with a 2.2" display (TFD) showing 262K colours and the resolution is 320x240 pixels A VGA camera is placed in the top left corner and 2 MP on the behind teh phone. You can access the VGA camera pressing fast access buttons to the left of the screen, and a call one is nearby. The phone is equipped wih a Li-Ion battery of 1000mAh, which provides about 2 days of work in case of 20-30 minutes of talks and up to an hour and a half of other functions.

About 72 MB of dynamical memory are provided to a user, while the total memory bank reaches 128 MB, still the rest of the memory is allocated for system files and thus is not shown to a user. Any application can use all free memory. Phone and memory card contents are shown separately.

The address book allows about 500 entries. You can keep about four phone number, two fax numbers, four e-mail addresses, two site URLs, and a Company name and so on. Voice tags are available for a fast call (100 voice tags). A preinstalled WEB-browser supports HTML protocol.

Three types of messages are available - SMS, MMS and E-mail. Concatenated SMS can reach 755 characters in length if you use Latin and 330 characters in case of Cyrillic. T9 dictionary is provided. You can attach a picture, a text fragment, video, sound file and a contact to an MMS, that means all usual functions are present. The mail client supports such protocols as SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4. And even unsupported file types can be attached, the maximum size of an attachment should not exceed 10 MB.

The calendar is realized very well in this model. Each new event belongs to no type from the beginning. A theme, starts time and date, end time and date and a signal time (if necessary) are set for each entry. Then event recurrence is adjusted (daily, weekly, monthly, annually and never). A Dictaphone allocated in this item is called voice memos. And total entry duration forms 150 hours.

Four games are preinstalled on this phone. They are "Space shooter", "Marble Crossing", "Super Bomberman" and "Space Stack Attack". The games start and play with no noticeable slow down, they are carefully minimized at a call and then resume after the call is over. The same concerns other Java applications.

The player is located in a separate menu item and comes equipped with a special icon (similarly to the S75). Like the S75, this phone uses a multimedia CPU Imageon 2182 by ATI. However, the functions of this chip are realized fully as compared with the S75. And that is why this phone can play Real Media 8/9 besides traditional media files (ringtones, mp3, 3gp, and graphics). Media files can be viewed full screen. Playlists can contain up to 25 files, background mode is realized. Slide show mode is provided for graphics. FM-radio works only with the headset connected. You can scan the air and save about 10 FM stations. The receiver is quite sensitive and supports steady connection. RDS signals can be processed.
