Voxtel W520

The first impression of Voxtel W520 - nice. The device looks like true lies in the hand like a glove, and its size and weight are consistent with current requirements. W520 - not bulky, but rather big, and looks equally harmoniously in the women's palm, and the men's hand. In general, for the design of the developers can safely put the top five, as is the case with the previous models, Voxtel. True, the compact dimensions of W520 has been made, including, and by reducing the diagonal of the screen - up to 2.4 ". Recall that most smartphones equipped with a 2.8-inch displays. But this "coin" has a downside: due to a smaller point size, the picture on the screen of our hero looks more smoothly and accurately than competitors, and the quality of work with a pipe, this time not particularly affected. At vskidku among the changes compared to its predecessor W420 can note the emergence of a separate power button. Previously, for this function is responsible for the concurrent drop call button. It is also gratifying that has been expanded and a control unit device. Now, besides standard buttons "call menu" and "return", there are three additional programmable buttons. Two of them - it's soft-keys that will control the device with one hand, almost without using the stylus, and the third is located above the screen, next to the speaker. By default, it causes Internet Explorer. It is curious that it is located under the LED display, which informs about the current operating mode handset, missed calls, the wireless interfaces (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). As regards the technical characteristics of the W520, they are standard for smartphones Voxtel: time-tested platform on the basis not of the sharper the CPU TI OMAP 730 200 MHz, 64 MB RAM and 128 ROM, Windows Mobile 5.0 Phone Edition, support for Bluetooth. Of the innovations worth noting the possibility of work in networks Wi-Fi, and of the missing options - lack of support for EDGE. This set of characteristics to be reasoned arguments traditionally low price.
