Phones these days are no more defined by their price or form factor. We have been writing about cheap phones for sometime now. One thing is for sure — the market for these phones is growing by the second. Full QWERTY or not, these phones are driving up the cell phone market in India now.
Here’s a phone which looks pretty much like a Blackberry but worth just Rs 4,500. The Lemon iQ707 is one of the lightest phones we have ever laid our hands on. Unlike its name, the phone is black in colour. It has a plastic form factor but keeps up with the heat quotient. It has silverish chrome edges, but a word of caution here — the back is super glossy, so no matter what you do, fingerprints are going to be your best friends.
The 2.2-inch screen is bright and clear. The keys on the full QWERTY keypad are closely spaced but there are little chances of typing dysfunction. For people who are looking to shift from numeric keypad SMSing to full QWERTY, the keypad is a sure winner. And it has another ace.
If you press the spacebar for a long time, the camera light comes on. The trackball is super sensitive and just plain annoying no matter how much you tweak the settings. Other design placements include music and camera shortcut keys on the top, volume button on the side and a USB charging slot.
The interface is where this phone starts getting good. As this is a dual SIM phone, it switches between SIM cards pretty well. The menu is easy to navigate with a couple of interesting apps. Social networking is taken care of with fullfledged apps for the usuals — Twitter, Facebook, YahooMessenger and even MSN.
Other apps include Nimbuzz, a business safe for all your passwords, an eBook reader and some games. Simple games are fine on the phone, but motion gaming should be excluded. They don’t work very well, are a pain to use and are just incredibly mediocre.
The 3.2 megapixel camera shoots more than average pictures indoors. But the same cannot be said about night photos. Video recording is also pretty good. Audio quality is average. The phone could do with better quality headphones. The Lemon iQ does not have a 3.5 mm audio jack.
You have to insert the headphones into a charging port which means that you can’t charge and listen to music at the same time. Lack of a standard audio jack also means that you can’t change your headphones. Uploading music on the phone is simple but it doesn’t identity the tracks properly.
We tried putting in a couple of tunes, and it just showed up as random alphanumeric words! So, should you buy this phone? It is a good phone no doubt. But it’s going to be lost in the millions of cheap phones out there and will not stand out in the crowd. The Lemon iQ707 is available for Rs 4,500.
