LONDON, APRIL 10, (PRINTWORDS NEWS)-What do you expect from a leading sports brand in terms of offering when it actually goes ahead to brainstorm and carve out a mobile? Apart from the so called ticky-tacky manipulations drifted all the way from other leading mobiles in the same genre, innovation is a forgotten fairy tale these days. Nevertheless when you have a gadget offering from an ace sports brand like Puma its never a waste to take a closer look.The phone is due to release and hit the shelves in UK somewhere towards the end of the current month. No harm if you can check it now before you scratch your brains at the store.
No matter how people dote upon the looks and functionality in a phone, the first thing which is impressive about Sagem Puma is its comfy grip within your palms. In other words it’s good looks offered in a compact frame. The mobile sports a 2.8″ QVGA display which at the very first look can be a real turnoff if you aren’t into too much exploring a gadget. We will deal with the front later on, lets flip it and take a look at the back side. Wow! Now, that’s even better than the frontal portion. (Except for the the fact the three stylized buttons on the front is the only thing that actually stops you from keeping it back on the shelf). This is where the camera is. A 3.2MP decked up with a LED flash and the solar panel which is the USP of Sagem Puma that won’t let your phone battery run out of its juice.
But hey wait up !! Are we taking about sun in UK? Ah!! You must have Houdini as your best pal. “Eco-friendly” is one vague term which finds it hard to gain grounds with only a a negligible amount of sunshine witnessed in UK. So, as it seems we have to rely on normal battery back up and let it go its own way to pick up and store as much amount of energy its able to trap in. The front of the phone – Yeah its stylized, minus the black plastic feel , the phone has one VGA camera for video conferencing. So what’s selling the phone if not the solar panel? The answer is its firmware along with the Interface which is a delightful experience. The main menu is a simple one which is divided into two ways ; one that leads to shortcuts defined by the user itself and the other one is the sportier style that is decked up with features like “Run tracking”. On the extreme right you shall find your browser and your multimedia kit.
The User Interface as mentioned earlier happens to be one of the decent and the frst ever thing in the mobile which is unique. Apart from the minor glitches that every other touch phone suffers in terms of resistivity, Sagem Puma has done a splendid job with the interface. Icons are well placd and are good to touch but this is one place where you shall have to strain your fingers a little to make sure you hit the right icon.
The tiny little triangle located at the bottom right-hand corner is a pull up and pull back option which takes you to context menus and lets you choose your own option. Neatly crafted out this is one great feature in the mobile that when you actually pull down the screen top you shall be able to shift it to memory card and then to bluetooth all in one go. All major social networkingplatforms like Facebook and Twitter are all preloaded and offers a vast and unique expirence while one uses the Sagem Puma browser to access it. Solar Power which is the biggest hype factor of the phone lets the users see how much energy has been trapped in and how much has been used already. Sagem Puma is a Java Based handset which is understadable and acceptable from the point of view that this happens to be the very first handset produced by the company.
As of a whole we never recommend you to buy the phone that too at a price of £300. Samsung SGH-F110 miCoach is defintly a better one than this but if you don’t want to lose your sleep over buying it then you might just go over the words of Jérôme Nadel; the vice president of Puma Sagem told the media how he had envisioned Sagem Puma Solar Mobile as the “First Layer’ in their innovations as he feels that the best is yet to come.
