| bollywoodman's Full Review: Trium Geo Cell Phone |
I got my first (and my last) Trium phone, about 2 years ago now. At first I thought it was the bee's knees, and then I realised what rubbish phone it really was.
Advantages of the Trium Geo:
- Nice, some may call "sexy" silver buttons.
- WAP phone
- Store up to 100 names on the sim card
- Store up to 100 names on the phone itself
- Scratchpad
- Currency Converter
- Alarm clock
- Vibration
- Security is EXTREMLY good
Security:
- Pin enable/disable
- Pin 2 change
- Phone lock
Disadvantages of the Trium Geo:
- You cannot receive picture messages/ logos or ring tones.
- Most of the time, text messages won't send
- To access the Internet on your Trium Geo, it waists up most of your credit quite quickly, even though you are still connecting.
- Can't use it abroad (some destinations)
- Annoying butterfly flapping when you look at your screen
- Only 12 ring tones
- A VERY large phone
You are provided with details about using the Internet on your phone, as well as your charger and £5 credit.
WAP:
I used the Internet a few times on my Trium, but when it was connecting to the Internet (it takes quite a while) it already took about £3.00 from me!
And when you finally get onto the Internet, it is quite confusing to understand how to use it! - It took me about 3-4 times to work out how to do it!
Why some people may like it:
Some people may like the Trium, because it has a currency converter, on it. I have to admit, this function was extremely helpful for me. Its high security is another factor why people may like it. Because of the phone's vibration alerts, its a good for a alarm clock. Just set your time, and then, it should vibrate or ring (which ever you decide!)
Why some people may dislike it:
Most people would dislike the Trium, mainly because its size, and appearance.
Key Information:
- Weight: 149g
- Battery standby time: up to 150 hours
- Battery talkime: up to 3 hours
- Dual band
My personal op:
Why i'm happy with it:
I believe that this phone is good to a point. Its features like the alarm clock and the currency converter are extremly good. Also the fact that the phone's security is EXTREMLY GOOD!
Why i tended to dislike the phone:
Its lack of features, and it's plain design made me feel that this phone isn't that great! To improve the phone i would personalise it more, (how Nokia phones are)
I don't think i'll be buying a Truim soon!
