 |
Below is a technical analysis of the Motorola i830 cell phone, it will help you understand better what are the strongest and weakest points of that phone. The items in green are the strong points and those in red are of course the weakest points. This analysis is based on the knowledge that we have on that phone, but please keep in mind that since cell phone manufacturers do not always detail their phone's technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.
 The Motorola i830 | Weight and Size: The Motorola i830 weighs only 3.6 oz with Standard Battery. This is relatively lighter than average and should make this phone comfortable to use and carry around Camera: It doesn't feature a camera, which is not necessary but may be useful and make your experience better.

Battery Performance: It has only a maximum rated standby time of 55 hours and a talk time of 120 minutes, and it may be too low for your needs, especially if you travel a lot and plan to use your cell phone often Color Display: The color display's color mode is 65K color and its resolution is unknown. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience will be and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look. Analog Roaming: It doesn't support analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog support a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect). Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. Infrared: It doesn't feature an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer phone book contacts and ringtones or pictures (provided the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola i830. Phone Book: It can store 600 phone book entries, which should be sufficient for the most demanding cell phone user. Voice Note: It includes voice notes . A voice note system is quite useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road. Free Custom Ringtones: . It seems to support ringtone customization in a do-it-yourself manner, but we recommend double-checking. |
