| jazziewazzie's Full Review: Philips Xenium 989 Cell Phone |
Just bought the unit two weeks ago and I'm quite satisfied with its features. I like its design and it stands out from the Nokia crowd. The carousel menu is a nice change from the usual scroll downs of other phones. The blue back light is bright yet cool to the eyes. The best thing about this phone is its superb battery life! For me it lasts for a week!
Other features I like is the analog or digital display of the clock, the voice command, the T9 predictive text, among others...
Of course, the 989 doesn't have WAP or infrared. Which is ok if you don't use WAP often or not at all. Other things I'm not quite satisfied with is when composing a text message, the screen hangs for a few seconds when the screen is already full and it scrolls down only after a while. And when reading a text message, it scrolls down too fast if you don't control it!
It would also be nice if other ringing tones may be downloaded from the net or received through the phone. What else.. more games probably and built in storage of text messages!
Apart from that, I'm quite satisfied with my Xenium 989 and I could say its worth its value.
